General Fan Discussion Forum / Our Vacation

« on: February 15, 2013, 03:48:07 PM »

Last night I was printing out our hotel reservations in Venice and Athens. Then printing out our taxi reservation.

I noticed that the hotel in Athens has Valet Parking which is great and our room will be overlooking the Acropolis.

I then went to the hotel in Venice and was hoping that there wasn't Valet Parking and there isn't. You have to use a water Taxi to get there. Then I started to get hysterical with laughter. Most of you know my sister and with the two of us along with Pam, Sue, and Carolyn don't seem to have a functioning brain when together. There will only be Mike, my sister, her husband and me on the cruise. I pictured us getting to the Water Taxi waiting area, given the pole to push the Gondola and a map. The map is in Italian and the four of us can't speak or read Italian. After an hour of going round and round we find the hotel and try to park the Gondola. We saw our names on the slot way away from the other Water Taxis with our names in English and telling us they had been forwarned about our ability to navigate.

General Fan Discussion Forum / I had a boo boo

« on: August 31, 2012, 04:16:00 PM »

Some of you already know this so bear with me. In January we went on a cruise with Jimmy and of course grace here had to have a nice fall. I did find out that my leg was fractured and it had a tear in the skin. I thought I healed nicely but last week I found out different.

Friday I had to hae surgery on the leg that I decided needed damaging. She went down 3/4" and pulled out all kinds of things like concrete, calcified bone, metal, and a hematoma. She fixed all that and stitched me up and sent me on my was to keep the leg up. Kind of hard to do with a new puppy. She likes to run up and flop on me. Its so cute but can hurt. I also tore the sheath on my achielles tendon.

If you have to damage yourself then do it right I always say.

General Fan Discussion Forum / Four intelligent humans?

« on: January 29, 2012, 11:20:16 PM »

Saturday January 14Th we were headed to Miami. We loaded my suburban at my sister's house and off we went. We were having a great time talking and just being ourselves when 15 miles outside of Miami we heard a funny noise coming from the car. Rick was driving and started pulling over to the side when we heard loud thumping sounds. We had a blow out and the four of us jumped out of the car and stood there watching what looked like smoke coming from the tire and it going down. We watched it like something magical was going to happen, instead of knowing that the two men were going to have to change a tire.

The car was too low so they couldn't get a jack under and told the two genius females to find a piece of wood to help but the only things we could find were rocks and they made them work. Tire was changed and off we go.

On the way home we had to get a new tire and the two genus women didn't realize that the men left the rocks in the tire and the poor guy changing out the tire couldn't speak English showed the rock to the men and was wondering why they were there. Don't they know that is how you take the flat part of the tire and make it round again?

If anyone needs mechanical advice I am sure we can find the answer to your problems.

General Fan Discussion Forum / Our Golden Girl

« on: January 01, 2012, 08:03:36 PM »

Has bone cancer and can't get around because one leg is useless. We have purchased a rear harness so we can help her get around. She does scoot around in the middle of the night and seems to be able to rearrange everything in her path. She is watching Virginia Dreams Center Stage. It's so cute and she is smiling while watching.

I hope the Vet has a TV she can watch on Sunday nights while we are gone. I don't want her missing her favorite program.

Is everyone OK?

The ones of you living on the east coast stay safe. The hurricane is supposed to hit there and they are saying that it may hit North Carolina twice.

I do hope Jimmy sings Danny Boy at the festival. He did that so beautifully while on the cruise. Some tissues were being passed around on that.

I would get down on my knees and beg but I may never get up. This is the best I can do. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease.

Sources said bin Laden was killed by a U.S. bomb a week ago. The U.S. had been waiting for the results of a DNA test to confirm his identity.

Hi everyone,

This morning I received and email form my sister about cocoa mulch for your gardens. Some of you may have already read it.

I didn't want to copy and paste it on the board because its way too long. There are some clickable links in the article that need to be read, also.

Well, I'm back online after two tornadoes came through about 2 hours ago. No one was hurt, but the high school was damaged. Mostly the football field was damaged. We were untouched but we are deep in water and that will go away by morning.
