When you first shared the great news that you and your daughter were going on a cruise, you had some slight hesitation about not being able to swim. So, I was pondering your recent comment, and I realized (as I started looking online) that there's quite a bit of helpful information on the web. There's even some videos. I thought that maybe if you watched a YouTube video, or read hints about beginner swimming for adults, that might be a good first step, toward helping to minimize some of your apprehension.

Then, maybe down the road, you might even have some interest in a local, adult group swim class (just for the basics). You see, I'm partial to pool or ocean swimming, in that I've loved the water ever since I was a little kid. When I was 5, I got my first swimming credential (I was awarded a "Guppy" skill recognition card!! :joyfull: ). Lastly, you don't have to swim in deep water until you're ready, and it's toward the end of your swim lessons. The funny thing is that swimming in deep water is exactly the same as swimming in more shallow water. It's not scary at all! :)

Lastly, it's not required that you know how to swim to go on a cruise. The above was just some rambling thoughts I had this afternoon. You'll have a great time on your cruise!

Oh I can swim like a fish. I've been swimming since before I could walk. I'm just not a big fan of being way out where I can't swim to shore because after the first mile, I'm done.

Glad to hear that you can swim :); I guess I had initially misunderstood your cruise/swimming comment.

As for tiring out after swimming a mile, not to worry—just hitchhike a ride from a passing dolphin! :D

You've probably already taken care of the new inhaler. If not, may I suggest Turner Drug over in Celebration. They deliver to Disney resorts for a nominal fee. Time is money when you're visiting Disney, so I highly recommend them. (That way, you don't have to go outside the "world" to a pharmacy.) I had to order from them once about 6 years ago, and they were great. I just had to sign for the package at the concierge desk. (I don't recall exactly, but I "think" maybe it was added to my room charge. I don't remember if I gave a credit card # over the phone.) Their # is: 407-566-9060. I think their hours at 8-8, if what I saw on Google is current.

Yup. I've used them before. I called them as soon as I figured it out. Then I called my pharmacy. Turns out I have a refill left on my inhaler. I do want to call my insurance company and figure out how much they will reimburse me, so I have to wait until Monday. I have my nebulizer just in case.

I hope all the planning goes smoothly, like a breeze ;)

In other news.. finally seen TMNT.

so...what to say.. I ended with mixed feeling. Half amused, half infuriated after so many head shakes.


The FEW Good things in the movie:
  • Turtle Tots (they are adorable and their training part in the movie looks awesome)
  • Fight between Splinter and the Shredder. (really good fight, sadly too short. You felt the emotion.)
  • Donatello and Raphael. Specially Donnie.

The bad (almost all the rest):
  • Megan Fox (forget about bad acting.. she improved BAD ACTING to WHOLE NEW LEVELS. You could swap her for a post or Tommy Wiseau, and they would do better than Megan Fox. Its like she was just told to "sit there, act pretty and talk the lines.. dont do anything else!" by the director. This was the infuriating part.. SHE ACTUALLY REGRESSED in her acting skills. She did "act" better in Transformers I.. unbelievable.
  • Mickey dirty jokes. Just plain bad.. typical trash of Michael Bay movies. Mickey was plain unlickeable, obnoxious and creepy, TMNT 2012's as Mickey thousands times better.
  • The Foot, they are just your typical Michael Bay Bad Dudes(tm), Just "filler" with zero skills, they act like any kind of bad soldier.. no ninja here.
  • Karai has.. what? 5 lines.. and they last less than 5 minutes in total. She was totally wasted, she also was NOT A NINJA(she was using guns.. seriously!).
  • Vernon (while some guys think that Vernon's oneliners were funny, some of them were.. but he fell many times to the same levels of Michael Bay Trash(tm).. He was sometimes creepy and instantly you could label him as your typical internet "Nice guy" or "M'lady" guy. His part in final fight was at least memorable.
  • The director clearly shows that he is of the same type as Michael Bay.. except with ZERO experience and little skill. You could instantly see the horrible editing. You could go from one side to the next with no real bridge.. sometimes you get one boring bridge when there wasn't need of any! He sort of put all the attention, budget..etc.. on the CGI and the Action.. that he forgot the narrating.

Funny things: out of all the 20 people that were in the cinema with me.. 3 were kids.. 12 were younger than 30.. the rest were ADULTS OLDER THAN 30.. including a gradmah of around 70 years old.. who was clearly annoyed (I heard her complain how much they ruined Mickey.. I suppose she was a old skool fan)
Funfact.. the grandmah was there by herself.. alone.

Another bad thing.. The translation clearly messed up so many lines.. they clearly tried to "simplify" almost all the dialog to make it short as possible... and they unwillingly ruined a few things. Like translating "Mickey" (the michelangelo's short name) to "Mikai" (because it sounds like "Mickey" in spanish's spoken ABC)

she could also just get a "floating vest" too.. or rent an inflatable tire.
You do not need to fully know swimming to have fun... she can also just enjoy the beach side...
As many beaches in the Caribbean have very shallow that even lets you sit in the sand and get water only up to your chest.


*edit* whoops, I just noticed about that you know 100% how to swim.

At least you can replace the inhaler easily right? or is it expensive?
Click to expand...
In the US, prescription drugs (like inhalers) start out with a 15 year patent. While they are patented and therefore brand name, they are more expensive. Eventually, the patent expires, and they become generic, less expensive. Now inhalers used to be generic, but when the government changed their regulations regarding aerosols, inhalers went brand name again, so more expensive.

Then there's the question of insurance. This pharmacy has you pay them directly and then run it through your insurance. So initially, it will cost us about $60. This is unusual; usually pharmacies run your insurance. So initially it will cost us. Then comes the question of how much they will reimburse us. So it will be a headache. Wish I had forgotten something, anything else besides the inhaler.

anyway, you all take care.. its NAP TIME!
Click to expand...
I have not had a nap in 4 or 5 days, as I have not been sleeping well. At all.
I figured a nap would just exacerbate the problem.

My 4-year old prescription sleeping pills are missing, so tonight I will take a Gravol (Dramamine to you) and sleep like a baby.

Pretty sure I'm not going to make it to church tomorrow though.
