My question John is: Do Ted and I need Passports or not? We are, of course will be on the bloggers cruise in Feb., and I have heard conflicting things. Our Caarnival PVP says no, as long as we are cruising with Carnival, we do not absolutely need Passports. IF we do need them, we will have to apply for them very soon, as we have never had passports before. I'm not sure of the dates that we must have a passport by. Thanks John. Btw it was so great meeting you in Philly. Love ya, Sue M aka suefromnarrowsburg ***John Please Reply***

When we furnished the family room, I got "my chair" , and over-stuffed (like me) recliner set at the perfect angle to view the 65" television across the room. However I was considerate, in that I bought the Baroness Von Kukidom a "she chair" as well. The "she chair" had a slightly less desirable angle to the monster piece of furniture called the television which no doubt led to years of rationed rumpy pumpy. More and more frequently, I'd come out of my little computer room, finding the Baroness lounging in the "he chair", waiving my sabre (er remote) declaring her highnesses' independance and authority. Head down I would lumber back to my little cubicle, a diminished knight in the night. This lasted until modern technology intervened on my behalf, and I stumbled upon a gigantic LCD Flat Screen TV, which now hangs on my cubicle wall, restoring my kinghtly status in the Kuki Kingdom. I now await the next move by the Baroness Von Kuki to reclaim her superiority... and until that time rumpy bumpy is just a faint memory. I now have my man space cubicle, but on occassion, while day dreaming, the thoughts of a bare baroness do sneak in to somewhat minimize my victory.

A man's chair and the tv remote is all that we have left once we get married. They keep us sane. John I can feel your pain.

She sails from NO, correct? Seems there is some good BBQ to be had as well as lots of other confections and fishy dishes.........Are you still on the weight loss program? Seems I promised a check for your children's hospital? I've only managed to lose 7 pounds and Dan has lost 8 pounds. This is disturbing since the last Blogger's cruise we were 25 pounds lighter! What a difference a year makes! Nanni, tell the Empress and Linda hello for me! We will see you next years anniversary! Well, we are celebrating 22 years this Dec ,5th. Obligation day. As for yours, "have a nice trip!"We will be thinking of you! ( with pants of course) Blessings, Dan and Kap (Kathie) Dear John and Heidi,

What's next? Hopefully the chair won't go away when your child is born. I hear what you're saying avout Maldives and the Seychelles. Though its quite expensive, it can truly be more relaxing than the London Marriott. Hope Tex enjoyed his pulled pork but its still not the same as Texas BBQ. Glad to hear Alan is doing well and I hope you had a nice time catching up with him last night. Have a good day and thanks for posting. Take care! David Hi John, Heidi, and Future child:
