Can someone tell me how to know when you update the information on your website? I don’t want to have to remember to come back all the time. Someone said something about a feed? I don’t know what that is. Thank You

Hi John,
First off, thank you and Heidi for the very nice gifts. I’m sorry I didn’t get to meet you personally, however, I was lucky enough to speak with Heidi several times. We had a wonderful week and want to thank you for being “you”. There’s nobody better!!! OK, I’ve got a good one for you. Yep, this was the spring break (never again) cruise week and believe it or not we were with 6 other “adult” Kentucky friends that we met a year earlier on the Valor while sailing! (please don’t categorize all Kentuckians…although they all bleed blue, most do have manners) Anyway, one of our our sailing friends sent me this link that her boss saw (he is a real sports fan) and wanted to know if this was the ship she was on. This is priceless and I’m sure it will spread around nationally! I think the comments following are hilarious and hope you can appreciate them! We love you John and support you 100%!!!! Here’s the link. Go down to the “Kentucky Fans Storm a Cruise Ship” (too bad they couldn’t find a picture of a REAL cruise ship

Thanks again for a great week!!!

John,

Just when you start to believe all of the things people are saying about the twenty-something generation, people like Allen and Melisa Young come along. What wonderful, giving people. May
they have a hundred happy, blessed years together.
Then, of course, there are the spring breakers. We just returned from Key West and they were in full force last weekend. I feel sorry for you, but I am sure their parents are glad the kids chose a relatively safe vacation with you as head babysitter.
That reminds me- until this year Key West had a “Spring Break Court”. They stopped this year because it was no longer needed. The non-felony law-breaking (allegedly) kids had a choice-they could either work for 8 hours cleaning up the streets and have their records expunged or they could go to trial. Over the years we have seen hundreds of kids picking up trash in bright orange jumpsuits. This could work for Carnival. I’m sure there are plenty of waste bins that need to be emptied…

Hi John:
I wish you a speedy recovery from your
‘pirate’ imitation affliction. The question I have is in reference to my last six blog additions which I have not seen. I’m wondering if inclusion is limited to those who were fortunate enough to be on the bloggers’ cruise or (and I certainly would understand) if it was due to your needing to rest up. ‘Unfortunately, most of them was prior to ‘Mr. B.’ Anyway, I thank you for a million laughs that you are giving us all. I look forward to possibly a book in the future?

John, Allen and Melissa sound like amazing people. I was certainly inspired by their story and I am looking forward to their pictures in a later post. Still praying for your Mr. Bell to take a hike; and Susan to heal. Hello to Heidi, Roberto, Stephanie and all the Evil Crew! (Sorry about all your trouble Lance.)

Hugs to all.

Angela,
I read your post also. It is impossible for me to know what you are going through right now. You do have your daughter and I hope you have a strong community of supporters surrounding you through this transition. Focus on the happy times you had with your husband. That will sustain you through these difficult days. Be aware that many people are keeping you in their thoughts and prayers.
Ruth

Angela, I have sat down to write several times and just couldn’t even begin this post. Your loss is so great that I don’t think I can begin to express how sorry I am. I’m glad your cruise gave you some comfort and I hope you have plenty of freinds and family to help you through this terrible time. I know you will never really get over it, but I hope you can still find comfort in the love of your daughter and the other friends and family members who are left behind with you to mourn your terrible loss. We all owe a debt to your husband and all the other brave men and women who have fought for our freedom through the years. May God bless you and your family.

Spring Break! Ahh… the rites of becoming an adult. Too bad they do not act the way reasonable adults should. The good thing about it is that they are only there for one week and then they leave. The bad part about it is that if you have saved and saved for this trip and then you are bothered by them during the cruise, it is a bad experience. I am sure the ship security staff does the best it can in terms of monitoring these folks.
It will soon be over, John, and things will return to normal.
Hope you will be feeling better soon. Give my best to Heidi!
Ruth

John;

Thanks for sharing your stories with a wonderful sense of humor, despite your unwanted and uninvited guest Mr. Bell. I am praying for your quick recovery.

We are on Freedom May 10 to the Mediterranean. Will you be our CD? I’ve met a group of people on the message boards who will also be on this cruise. Can we set up a ‘meet and mingle’ time and place? Somebody suggested I leave a message on your blog.

Thanks,
Dale Edwards
