Morning Kathy, Martha, and Cindy,

I guess I missed out about the smoking threads. I was wondering what Cindy was talking about? At least your pool is at F84. Last time I checked we were still at F80. I have not had time to even think this week.


Kathy, I am a Dispensing Optician. In plain English I help people choose, advise then fit and measure eyeglasses. I don't work full time anymore, I do contract work. It is all for the same company though. They would like me full time because the practice is so busy, but I just go when, or if I am available. It works out very well, as they accept the fact that I may be "away" quite often. So I work when it suits me. This past week there have only been two of us as a couple of people are out and we really need four people, as it is so busy. We have three doctors. That is why I am so tired. I have been working full time to keep up with the work. :help It is mainly a lot of fun, as we really enjoy helping to pick suitable, and fashionable eyewear.

Hope you get your car back soon. Have a good day guys.

Thanks for posting Kate.........felt like I was talking to myself..........

I thought I remembered you saying you worked at an eye place,but then you mentioned subbing and it threw me off.........when I hear subbing,I think school......

Car is back all squeaky clean......detailed inside and out..and DENTFREE!......only thing is they forgot to put the JEEP decal back on front.......so they ordered one and they will call me when its in......said it will only take a minute to pop on.....

Time to go outside and read for awhile......

Morning Kathy,

Another day of work coming up. The tonight we are going to take some friends to Houston Gilbert and Sullivan Society's performance of Ruddygore.

More rain here. I wonder if we will ever get in the pool again this year. Time to fly again.

Like you, Kathy, I couldn't believe that smoking thread is still going on. (my computer was down) And I couldn't resist today asking the posters if now there might be a Friends of Winton(s) onboard in the future. I promise, kathy, it's my absolute last post there!

Not long before we'll be making our final payments, eh? What a wonderfully warm, fuzzy feeling!

Have a great weekend, all!
Cindy

Hi guys,

just stopping by to say hello. I had forgotten we are so close to final payment on the Jewel. Better not forget it. I think its due the date we sail on Rhapsody.


Got my cruise docs today for Rhapsody. Woo Hoo. Kathy, you don't have long till your cruise either, only 26 days. I bought some pants and tops at Macy's today for the cruise.

Al is making dinner. Steaks and a Caesar salad. My favorite.

Time to go and pour a glass of vino. Wish you guys could join me. Never mind we will make up for it.:)-D

Macys is having great sales.......right now, its BOGO on womens bathing suits which are already on clearace....(also BOGO on FiestaWare,Cindy)...

Sept 2nd is the day we sail on Rhapsody. Now we are looking at Legend's repositioning from Singapore to Dubai in May 2009. POC are Phuket, Thailand, and Cochin, Goa, and Mumbai(Bombay) India. The nice thing about this would be that Alan does business in both Singapore and Dubai, so we could do some business before and after to help with the cost.:D


I will take another look at Macy's today. Missed the swim suit sale but then I need to lose weight anyway. :help

Hope your Sunday is good.

I have been eyeballing that same cruise,Kate.....would love to see that part of the world(except for Mumbai--it looked nasty on the Amzing Race).......

Could do the cruise probably cheap enuf,but the air would be the killer.......

I HATE shopping for bathing suits........dont know any woman that likes it...

Hey

wouldn't that be fun. India always looks pretty grotty, but it's fascinating. Besides the other POC's are good. The lower SW part of India is beautiful and has great food.


I am worried that we have not heard from Martha. If she doesn't post tomorrow, I will call her.

Hope your Sunday was good. We both only have a few weeks now between cruises..............:)

Hi all............

Back later..

I have been really busy today. I thought I was just going in for today and then I find that they are still screwed up as people are off. I have to go in and help out again tomorrow or it will just get worse.

No time for anything and I am shattered when I get home. Martha and Cindy I don't know how you do it. I am supposed to be no longer working full time. But it's turning out that way. They really need three Opticians full time, to cope.

I can hardly wait till my PC cruise. I have mangaged to get a few of us up for a table.

Glad to have heard from Martha as well. It's nice that we worry about each other.:loveya

Hope to have more time in the next few days. Just want to collapse into bed, and sleep.

Morning all.........

So lets talk about excursions...

we;re all doing the cooking class in Cozumel......

Belize?? Isnt that where some are going horse back riding?? I cant decide yet what we want to do......at first I thought going to the ruins via the river,but that takes 7 hrs....not sure I want to go that long......then maybe cave tubing....or go to one of the Cayes....or MAYBE just stay on the ship since we only get one sea day....hmmmmmmmmm....

Costa maya---thinking of just goofing off and chilling in Mahajual(?)......


Key West----nothing planned for there....

So whats your plans???

Evening all,

Just got in. Had a meeting tonight. I am shattered again.

I think we will do the trolley in Key West, the Cooking class in Cozumel, in Costa Maya, Mahajaul maybe the Cats Meow. It's reputation seems to have improved again.I am pretty sure Alan will want to stay on the ship at Belize as he likes the sea days. Don't forget we are also coming off a pretty port intensive cruise a few weeks before, so he will want to vegetate. Goofing off sounds like a good option, maybe we will goof off with you. :thumb

Kate-I have an eyeglass question for you...

Dennis got new ones in May.....(at Sears--big mistake).....anyway,he keeps going back for adjustments.......we dont think they fit right to begin with.....they pinch his nose....and slide down all the time...

We thought maybe he should just pick out another pair(we have about one more week to do so under a warranty).......thing is the optician told him his were 145(the last number)......and mens usually go up to 150....they didnt have any.........is 150 common??

We're thinking maybe we should have just gone to a REAL eye doctor place,but now we have spent the money on these....

anyway,is there hope for him and his big head??:lol
