I'm in the wrong business. Maybe since he was the senior guy (at 85+ years old) is he able to command that kind of rate. Amazing! Goregous pictures of the Domo today. Almost makes you feel like you are standing right in front. Sorry about you dropping the phone. I like the person's idea above about letting it sit in rice for a while. I will have to remember that. I like the Splendor-Italy/Dover itinerary. That looks like a fun little journey. Hope things are getting better for you. I'd like to think its going better than my wife, with whom I am now living in the dog house. I made the executive decision to pick up Chinese food from a new restaurant last night, and she was hating me all throughout the night and today. Oh well...Live and learn :) Thinking of you, David Hi John/Heidi/Friends:

I can relate to the cell phone issue - it seems my husband is always dropping them (although not in the potty), or breaking them. At this writing on his current phone you can only see half of the screen as our grandson was playing with it and who knows what happend. (Tom had no idea where the phone was when the baby discovered a wonderful new toy). He has lost them in a hot tub, over the Hoover Dam, under a truck tire, and the list goes on. Once again, you are the best and we continue to enjoy this bloggy thingy. What a great laugh you gave me this morning.

John, I had to laugh as I read the blog about your ship's cell phone. That kind of thing happens to the best of us! OK....here is the deal on the box.......it did arrive. It had the ornament and the cookies. I am planning on another box prior to Christmas, but it will be sent to the Miami address and then forwarded. (i am researching to find some sugar free cookie recipes.) I was intrigued by the route of the Splendor going over to Dover. With Paris and Barcelona, that should be quite a voyage. My family loved Paris last year. It is so beautiful. Hello to John and Heidi!

I carry one every day at work. I am reachable at all times. The hairs on my neck stood up - I thought someone had sneaked it into my luggage as a cruel joke. I may have dropped a phone or two in the toilet! It is so easy to do. Being available to take calls in the toidee lends itself to accidents - (no pun intended!) I make sure to dry it before calling to report it dead. I should publish a warning never to purchase a used Cisco wireless phone - you can't be sure of the reason it was refurbished!

We have assiduously avoided all things Mouse when it comes to vacations -- aided by the fact that we have no children begging to be taken to such a place.Reminds me of a little song....."Be our guest, be our guest, Put your wallet to the test. Bring a basket full of Twenties and let D*$%#@ do the rest. You will spend all you bring buying useless little things And your kids will not give you a moment's rest.... You will spend all your dough and have nothing to show when you're our guest -- you're our guest -- you're our guest!"Ta for now j&kwatts John,

I sympathize with both your telephonic adventures in the W.C. and with your reaction to a day amongst the worshippers of The Mouse. We have assiduously avoided all things Mouse when it comes to vacations — aided by the fact that we have no children begging to be taken to such a place.

Reminds me of a little song…..

“Be our guest, be our guest,
Put your wallet to the test.
Bring a basket full of Twenties
and let D*$%#@ do the rest.
You will spend all you bring
buying useless little things
And your kids will not give you a moment’s rest….
You will spend all your dough
and have nothing to show
when you’re our guest — you’re our guest — you’re our guest!”

Ta for now

It costs about 100.00 max in Buffalo, N.Y. I'm glad to hear that you are taking some much needed time off. I was sorry to hear about Alan. I will pray for both of you!Cindy from Buffalo(and Booooob) Boy John, You got sooo ripped off! It costs about 100.00 max in Buffalo, N.Y.

My grandkids will be over after church to visit, Mike and I went out to breakfast early. I am just playing around with my new digital camera I got for the cruise, It's a better one that the one I had, only 41 days till Nov. 17th! Can't wait! You will be off the ship in 2 weeks! Wow, time goes by so fast! Best you can't wait! Please let us know the date of Alan's surgery ok? In my last email I made a mistake - it isn't the inaugural Splendor cruise we want to go on, but the Bloggers cruise, hopefully on the Splendor, if you can swing it, (Jan. 2009)? I know Big Ed would like that too, preferably around his and Pat's anniversary. Then we could finally meet Big Ed and his wife and see you again John and meet Heidi. See what you can do to make this happen, ok? Looking forward to Monday's blog, I love reading them all. I must have missed something though, about your visit to Disneyworld, what blog was that under so I can go back and read it. Best Wishes, Your friends Linda & Mike P.S.

I think she has packed and repacked at least a dozen times. I have beem banished to the carport since I came to the opinion that none of my ideas were any good once my lips started to move. We are lookin forward to the cruise on the 16th. Take care and see you soon. Remind me to buy my wife a drink. I think she has packed and repacked at least a dozen times.
