innlady1 Posted February 5, 2008 #226 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Please do it anyway! We are on the March 8th trip and its great to hear he "Live froms" even if they dn't live up to Tom's great posts! I will...I was just joking! ;) I'll bet some of the others will post in the same thread. I'll ask them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted February 5, 2008 #227 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Thomas Kinkaid, the Painter of Light, was on display by Park West. I like a Kinkaid painting. But a whole wall full of them is like having a chocolate cake with thick chocolate frosting bathed in chocolate syrup with chuncks of fudge on top. A little bit goes a long way. :confused: I don't get the connection. This reply came to you live from the Rotterdam. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted February 5, 2008 #228 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Ruth, I guess Tom thinks too much chocolate is overkill. Guess he doesn't like it like we do. Tomorrow night there'll be a chocolate on my pillow too. :cool: Yippee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomc Posted February 5, 2008 Author #229 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Captain's announcement at about 10:20 this morning: Docking about 9:00am. The predicted storm did not happen; the Gulf Stream has helped us, also, and we are going about 23.5 knots as a result. RuthC, and others: The Kinckaid and chocolate thing wasn't literal. It's just that one painting of his on the wall is neat. A lot of them all together is like sugar overkill. NCKVILLEDUDES: Get a grip, take two humor pills and call me in the morning. It's a joke thread, j-o-k-e. I know, and am friendly with, more FOD's than most straights like me. Uh, yeah, uh-huh, right: Woman at the table next to me said, to her husband, "If (x) gets elected, I'm leaving the country." I was tempted to ask her where she would move to, and if she would send me an e-mail in the event. This post came to you live, SE of Hatteras, from the Noordam.

waiting2retire Posted February 5, 2008 #231 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Ruth, I guess only true chocoholics like us would immediately see the humour in your response. No such concept as "a little goes a long way" when it comes to chocolate :D :D Bonnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innlady1 Posted February 5, 2008 #232 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Tom...thanks for the posts from me, too! I have so enjoyed all of them. Will check from the Noordam to see if you post "final thoughts" on your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted February 5, 2008 #233 Share Posted February 5, 2008 a chocolate cake with thick chocolate frosting bathed in chocolate syrup with chuncks of fudge on top. If I were dying and could ask for a final meal, this would be part of it. And I might just wash it all down with chocolate milk. Tom, I'm sure you may not understand this, but for many of us there really can't be too much chocolate. I'm going to go and put one on my pillow for tonight just to pretend I'm on a cruise. Thanks for a great trip - I really enjoyed reading your posts. Can you go again soon? Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz4evr Posted February 5, 2008 #234 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hello, my name is cruz4evr and not only do I have a strange name but am also a chocoholic who doesn't want to get cured. I think I'll go and make that dessert Tomc mentioned! :D Thanks again Tom for your wonderful posts, they will be missed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIRELT5 Posted February 5, 2008 #237 Share Posted February 5, 2008 tomc: TNX for the nice reports, you should a good night traveling up the VA,DE, NJ coast with only around 5' swells up ahead of you.

rejoyce Posted February 5, 2008 #238 Share Posted February 5, 2008 My minutes are almost used up; the serious review will appear after I return home and consider the trip. It's been fun having you with me on the cruise Tom, I have enjoyed your postings so much. It made the days fun, especially when I was able to read them at work. Can't wait to read your "serious review" of the cruise. And just to dampen my spirits, I have an awful cold. :eek: But never fear, my dr. has prescribed the right stuff plus cough med with codeine for sleeping. Today is the first day since Saturday that I feel somewhat human. Human enough to start sorting and washing summer clothes. Yippppeeeeee. February 16 is coming.

SeaRay48 Posted February 5, 2008 #240 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Tom, Loved your cruise journal and may not stop laughing for a few days. I have a great idea for your next cruise (which I hope is soon) Have everyone who loves to read your reviews send a $1.00 for your internet minutes! My check will be in the mail :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rejoyce Posted February 5, 2008 #243 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hey Joyce, at least you know you'll be immune to colds throughout your entire trip! Yep, lucky for me. Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed that I didn't share the germs with my hubby. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhannah Posted February 5, 2008 #244 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Have everyone who loves to read your reviews send a $1.00 for your internet minutes! Nice thought. But it would be problematic. Just think of all the "me, too" requests we'd see. And you can bet some will get their knickers in a knot because they didn't get any contributions. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prescottbob Posted February 5, 2008 #245 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Ahoy! $1 ? Perhaps a 'friends of TomC' meeting instead? Thanks for the journal Tom. Bon Voyage & Good Health! Bob:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom is probably the ONLY cc member that I would financially support! Can't wait to read his "real" review. Love the guy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planetsis Posted February 5, 2008 #247 Share Posted February 5, 2008 It seems like Tom left just a few days ago. Hopefully our cruise won't pass by that quickly! Thanks for taking the time to do the reports. It's made our waiting time much less painful! Tom, we'll look for you as we're boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
