My next door neighbor swears by Dianne Gillman she says they wear like iron. She gets them from HSN. Just types in her measurements and she says every pair fits perfectly. No going to the store. She does say she does have one little problem with them, not going to the store makes it a little too easy to get a few extra pairs I'm heading out this weekend to get foundation that should be fun, NOT Ulta supposedly has the one I like so if so that will make it easier, I don't want to go to the mall!

Thanks, I'll look up HSN.

This morning, I went to the closet and pulled out my suitcase. It's in the livingroom.

Tomorrow, I'll throw some clothes in it.

Sunday morning, leave with suitcase at 3:30 AM. See, Figgy, you're not the only one who does suitcase planning in advance. I no longer look at packing as a "night before" venture. I'm just so organized this year, that I've just stretched it out to a TWO-day process now!

gee, thanks for making me feel like an alien.. as my packing takes up to 2 weeks...

Oh my! I had to Google this. (I know sports are important to many people, but that's a lot of money! Then again, I don't watch football anyway.)

I love how they say "we're visionaries". Except if your team plain out sucks and your plan tanks in bringing business.
I mean, does a small town really can fill those stadiums?

Mine too. I pack for hubby and myself.

 

[betty rose]

I will definitively go photofest as usual.
in other news, I just need to buy the hotel ressies and I'm all ready. Will do in the weekend!.

Great, I'll be looking for your trip report too.

Yeah, you see it repeating now...people are being taught to be afraid of anyone who looks like they might be from where ISIS is working. After 9/11, a friend of mine from India couldn't even walk across his college campus alone because people thought he was a terrorist. It's just so sad. And my neighbors here are all Turkish and are so nice, but if I say on Facebook that I have Muslim friends, I get called a traitor. It's all just fear mongering and it breaks my heart for the people who are targeted just because they have the same physical features of some really sick people.

Reminds me of these poor Sikh that get blasted, insulted and even assaulted because they have a turban. When their religion has nothing to do with islam or extremists.

It really depends on who you talk to at Guest Relations. Sometimes they may want to talk you into a more expensive excursion. Not always though. If I remember correctly, you don't get your money back if it rains. They usually do the excursions anyway. Despite the weather.

I see.
I'm going to have to see that step by step. There is something we really MUST do .. and is visiting everything we can from San Juan puerto rico.

@StarWarsGirl what are you doing up so early on the first day of summer vacation?

I'm house sitting for my neighbors, and the dog needed to be let out. I'm already way off the normal schedule for the dog. If you ask the husband, the dog must be let out at 7:30. Not 7:32, 7:30. The first time I house sat for them, the wife made sure he had left before telling me what schedule they had her on and as long as I let her out and fed her, she really didn't care. The dog's on more of my schedule

Sunday-Monday I'll sleep in. Actually, I have an internship over the summer (unpaid, but for credit) so at least two days a week I'll need to be up

Congrats and credit is better than nothing! It's so sad so many are becoming unpaid.

I hate clothes shopping all the trying on, wears me out. I wish someone would make jeans that are consistant. I'm taking capris and jeans, anywhere from a size 10 to 16. The clothing manufactures drive me crazy.

I agree with you. why claim your clothing parts are of standard size if they dont follow them?
I've seen so many size 30 that are size 28 and other brand is size 34 for their "size 30"...
So you end having to test 3-4 sizes of the same model EVERY TIME to make sure.

 

[Cesar R M]

I hope you get a good deal on a really nice place. Good luck!!!!!!!

Thanks, still debating if we should stay in fort laurendale or miami. We will have 2 days to visit miami.

One more story that happened on our last cruise. A man on the ship had a heart attack. The captain turned the ship around and we went back to Nassau so he could get medical care. Dropped him off, and we started back to St. Thomas, the captain put the ship in fast mode, he was burning a lot of fuel. We were only 30 minutes delayed. Talk about customer service!

at least he didnt asked the visitors to row with a paddle

It's unfortunate that it's unpaid, but it's fewer hours per week than a paid internship, so it works out that way. I applied for paid ones and didn't get it. Paid ones expect you to work 30-40 hours per week, though, which is no fun

Are they dangerous?
Remember that we do not look that "touristic" nor American.. so I dont think we would be prime targets XD

It doesn't matter what you look like there a few neighborhoods that are bad. same as in any other American city. You should be fine in the tourist areas and there is more than enough to do to keep you quite happy and busy.

I'm surprised Flower from Bambi didn't return to doing meet and greets once I heard Thumper returned to Walt Disney World back in 2006 when Bambi II came out. Especially since Thumper and Miss Bunny are the only characters that represent Bambi and yet Flower wasn't one of them to return. Flower used to meet guess at Disneyland and Walt Disney World during the 1960's - the late 70's and early 80's.
