Re: Give Me Liberty or Give Me the Big Cats 9/15/07 (or Give Me Both!)

Good morning all,

Dan, good to hear from you again, say hi to Courtney for us. On the topic of where is everyone, it's a holiday weekend for starters and the O girls are dealing with family priorities that takes up much of their time. I'm sure as the cruise approaches the chatter will pick up considerably. Not to mention Sheree always picks it up a few notches once her vacation is officially approved.

I had to work Sat., had to to 7 employee evaluations...fun...fun...fun! Yesterday we went around town looking at new homes, it's insane what they are asking for them. We have a few more to look at today, but if it doesn't pan out we are going to refinance this house and do some major remodeling inside and out.

Jim, I'm with you, I wouldn't mind getting the hotel out of the way either. I'm sure as soon as Sheree gets her vacation approved we can get the hotel done. After looking at the prices on most web sites for hotels, I would suggest we try Priceline first to get a much better rate.It looks like you are getting a good jump on the cruise stuff. Anne has started looking for a dress...to add to her collection. She found some she likes at Dillards, she's just waiting for them to go on sale first.

Hey! I was reading and I HOPE that ALL the people who are having medical issues or family members who are having issues get well and I am praying for them to! I think Doris and Dee are those people! If I am wrong, sorry!! Anyways I hope everyone else is doing good! George, I hope you are having luck finding homes!

Hey Cats....just wanted to drop by to say hi! I have been keeping up. We are now within two weeks of Doris' surgery. Can't come soon enough for her. She has been suffering something terrible. The only thing she can take now is tylenol and it does not work as well as the 800mg Motrin...I sure hope these two weeks go by fast. My Dad is doing okay, he has good days and bad days. When they went in for the difibulator (sp) they were unable to anything with his afib (upper) heart, she says it is way to enlarged and would not respond. He is still having problems with his feet swelling and feeling weak. They keep adjusting his meds so I hope they find the right dosage soon. Cris and I have purse parties this week so we are looking forward to the business. I am waiting until the week after Doris' surgery to go back the the part-time job at Joann. It has been a trying several months and we are looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. Miss you all! Dee

Dee, what kind of surgery is Doris having? Is it something on her brain(I read earlier posts, but I didn't understand it)? I am gonna pray for her in the hopes it works out well!

Hi Cats

Dan, Doris is having Deep Brain Simulation Surgery for Parkinson's Disease. She has has one part of her brain done now she is going in to have the other side done. Glad to see you and Cort are doing well,,,,Hows the dog? Rocky right?

Nothing else happening here, just trying to get all our orders done and concentrate on Doris' surgery and then we have our Spring Lake Eola show.

Hope all is well with everyone else.

Have a great day.

Hi guys - just a quick hello so that you know I am still around and survived my weekend of shopping with Greg! Vacation should be approved on Friday. I made hotel reservations in Las Vegas today for the week of 6/3. Again, no vacation approved, but it is fully refundable.

Glad to see posts from both Cris and Dee. We'll certainly be saying our prayers for Doris - you'll both have to promise to keep us updated as soon as possible after the surgery.

Not much else is new here. Yesterday it was above freezing for the first time in almost 30 days. That's something to get excited about here.

Hope everyone is doing well....Sheree

Re: Give Me Liberty or Give Me the Big Cats 9/15/07 (or Give Me Both!)

G'day all,

We are currently on hold with our credit card company to dispute a fraudelent charge that has yet to be removed. Been on the phone for 24 minutes now. Some of you may recall that our credit card was stolen back on Halloween and someone went on quite the spending spree. Believe it or not, we are still trying to get that one resolved.

Dee, please do your best to let us know Doris's progress as soon as you can. We will keep her in our prayers. We are looking forward to seeing her up and around...maybe even diving with us

Re: Give Me Liberty or Give Me the Big Cats 9/15/07 (or Give Me Both!)

Wow George! Credit card fraud SUCKS! Why would it take this long? If the fraud happened around Halloween and you haven't gotten any money back maybe you should get a new credit card company!!!

Hi Jim - sounds like you've been busy!

George - nice talking to you, Anne, and Arrielle. Please tell me you have free nights and weekend minutes??? I'll check out the Intercontinental on-line today. I should have full approval on vacation, hopefully on Monday. I can't believe it's taken this long, but I know we've got changes ahead within our health system, so I can sort of understand the problem.

Orlando girls - hi to everyone. Dee, you are not the only one to have a strange cruise dream. I had one last night where we were upgraded to a huge suite and it had all kinds of complimentary food trays so we kept on having parties where everyone was coming to our cabin. At one point a couple came in and asked why we were in their cabin and insisting that we leave. The wife ran down to the purser's office and said she'd be coming back with security, then she came back and apologized that she had her suite # confused - so the purser came back to us and told us that they were embarassed by the confusion and brought us complimentary trays of lobster. I don't know if I was excessively hungry when I went to bed or what!

Tommy and Regina - hope you guys are doing well. Regina - any good business trips planned?

And Dan, hopefully you've caught up - there's a lot of reading to do!

Well, I promised to finish the taxes today, then I want to watch the Oscars tonight....have a good Sunday everyone. Sheree

Hey all!!!! I have caught up on all the posts! You are all having fun it sounds like!! Sheree, cool dream! I wish that it would happen to me!!! I TOTALLY want to cruise again! Courtney doesn't because of all the media talking about the norovirus issues, the cruise ships not being clean especially the staterooms, and the thought of me not paying attention to her as much!!! I am working hard on changing her mind! I hope everyone has a good rest of the weekend!!! We are celebrating my mom's(Feb 24th) and dad-in-law's(Feb 23rd) B-day!!![/b]

Re: Give Me Liberty or Give Me the Big Cats 9/15/07 (or Give Me Both!)

Hi guys - just a quick hello - and I also wanted to tell you that my vacation time was finally approved, so I am on board if we want to start discussing Priceline and our back-up plan!

Sheree

Re: Give Me Liberty or Give Me the Big Cats 9/15/07 (or Give Me Both!)

Sheree, congrats! On the hotel front, I just need to know everyone is on board with Priceline and what price everyone wants me (or anyone else) to start bidding at. Also, do a search for the Intercontinental by the port, looks real nice.

Jim, you're way ahead of the game...Anne has been looking for a dress, just nothing suits her just yet. I'm already to go though.

Re: Give Me Liberty or Give Me the Big Cats 9/15/07 (or Give Me Both!)

Forgot to mention we finally got to see Samantha Brown on the Freedom of the Seas...definitely not downtown Julie Brown Nice to see, I just wish they would have put more emphasis on the ship and less on the islands.
