rubrrick Posted February 23, 2009 #2526 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Carol...........I also spent the past hour plus going thru your picture album. What memories that you have.:) Bobbie was a bit shy in using the camera for the first leg, and much better on the second leg. Your pictures certainly filled in the blanks. I know it must be frustrating having such a problem in your home......and over the weekend to boot. Hopefully, you have not lost too much, and by tomorrow, maybe you will have a new furnace.:rolleyes: Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell her that I miss her huggs and sweet smile. OK. Golly Geez..... It's good to be home, but I sure do miss all my new friends. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquelyn11 Posted February 23, 2009 #2529 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I should double up on the Simvastatin after the cruise.Our waiter was trying to kill me while on the cruise, on lobster night he brought me 6 tails, yes they were small and Sue said at least its not steak as she was saying that she seen the NY strip also there as they were pouring the butter on the tails. Carol, as a pharmacist who works nights in a hospital I have to thank you for providing such an enjoyable post to read. It has inspired me to take the "trip around the Horn" as a future cruise!! BUT, as a pharmacist I have to remind you how much a "workout" you gave your liver the last 53 days, and taking extra Simvastatin (also metabolized by the liver) might actually do more harm than good. I know your probably just kidding about taking extra meds, but others might read into this as "OK". I also work retail part time and spend alot of time trying to educate "John Q Public" that what their friends do with meds is not actually recommended! Glad you took the opportunity to "Get out there" and enjoy life instead of waiting for retirement like some. I also intend to "spend my children's inheritance, one cruise at a time!"

Zu~ Posted February 23, 2009 #2532 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Bet you are busy with the problems at home today ! I'm having pcd and bummered (latin?) about the loss of my photos. But wait ! Carol has come to my rescue once again with posting all those photos on Webshots ! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Carol. When I get my new computer I'll be downloading them right away. I'll be trying to get in touch with others, that I got to tour with, for even more so that my family can subjected to a great slide show. The good news is that my Hornblower's DVDs were packed in a suitcase that made it home. I am learning about the travel insurance lost luggage coverage and in the fine print mine covers $250 per ITEM, so a $1400 computer is now worth $250. Going to pay more attention to that next time. Vickie and Woody- I e-mailed you right away and hope all is well with you. Hornblower's- I miss you all ! Zu~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moondawgie Posted February 23, 2009 #2534 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Carol, I just loved taking this trip along with you. Thank you so much for all your photos and on board blog. I was viewing your photos and noticed an icon at the bottom that looks like someone drinking from a fountain. Can you tell me what that is? I know it's a strange question, but I work for a water fountain company and it caught my eye. So glad you had a wonderful trip. It seems to truly be a trip of a lifetime. I wish I could take out all the other posts and just read yours so I can read it like a novel. Perhaps you should do that and publish it somewhere.

mmcipdn Posted February 23, 2009 #2537 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Bobbie is still hacking......but not going to the doctor. Does anyone that went to the ship doctor or anyone that didn't.. know what the medically term for the crud we had on ship was? I am almost over it now, I caught it twice..first after we left Bueneou Aires and then again after we left Costa Rica..the second time was a killer..about 8 days now..and now Glenda is getting it..

What the heck is this stuff? Simply known as "Cruise Cough" or you could call it "Cruise Crud" I do know the CDC came on board in LA and was going over the ship, due to the length of the trip and the large number of health problems reported. Anyone recall if Ken had it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted February 23, 2009 #2541 Share Posted February 23, 2009 With much anticipation I daily read all the posts from you and the people that knew you. Being an outsider I hope you have the time to answer my curious questions. Carol: How the heck did you pack all the clothes you needed for this long cruise. Did you wear your formal wear a couple times, or did you use laundry services. Did you ship home clothes. Just wondering how many suitcases did you fly with. Keep your posts coming now that you are home to tell about your experiences. Thanks so much for your time. Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacquelyn, RPh :D Jacquelyn, I only take one tab a day of Simvastatin. I mentioned (other) people stocking up on antibiotics and such on shore because the infirmary is expensive, and lots of folks were self-diagnosing themselves, particularly after "everyone" was sick.
