I may have problems with the "dirty dancing". When I was in college I wanted to learn to dance, so went to the local Arthur Murray Dance Studio. I flunked out!!!!
In Liverpool (England) we had lots of dance halls. I used to dance almost every night but especially Friday and Saturday. I liked what we called Jiving....Jitterbug here. Now I would probably get winded just doing a waltz!
Now that the ship has picked up all passengers, the crew is busy watching for anyone that fell overboard, anyone who forgot their keys, remotes, glasses, etc....the ship stores is always open and we have everything in abundant supply...even magic pajamas that can also double as dancing attire.... The lifeboats ae ready to be launched, and we have opened 4 ballrooms for dancing to the many themes....for anyone without a dancing partner, the poolboys will be available...one on each arm.. Dancing is also allowed on the poop deck, for those unfortunate enough to be there..... Our next destination is unknown at this time, but will definitely be exciting and full of new adventures... For those with dental issue, we have a elder dentist who specializes in difficult patients... Enjoy the trip...nothing but sunny skies and smooth waters ahead for the next week.....
Is that cute pool boy from Denmark going to be on this ship? He was very nice to us when we were on a big sail boat in the Carribean several years ago. He had a lovely tan! :)
Mayday Mayday Maydat...all hands on deck Man overboard...I mean woman overboard....seems NewRealm just got washed over the side of our luxury liner. Turn on the searchlights, prepare to launch the rescue boat, get the life preservers ready to cast. We need her back with us. She is a survivor, and we need her desperately. This ship will not be the same without her...... Keep sharp eyes open for her, and announce it immediately if she is located......( God help us....
OK, ALERT, my daughter is missing one of her Pack n Play (portable cribs) All I can think of is that the Traveling Pajamas and the Missing Nightgown are now EXPECTING and have kidnapped the crib!!!!!
I'll bring several bales of hay....what do you prefer? The finest Timothy? I also have some beautiful clean, white barley straw I use for bedding my mares in foal! Soft.
New Realm has found us again....recall the searchboats, douse the searchlights......drinks are on the house tonight...happy hour starts at 7pm, and will last until december 29,2009.....Extra deserts will also be served at each meal....
Forgot to tell you guys that dh and I have new names. When we went on that cruise in May, the bar waitress couldn't say "Gene" so she called him Gin. That meant that she called me Tonic. We were called Gin and Tonic everytime she saw us. But I don't like gin and tonic. Whine, Whine. Can somebody fix me mojitos, please. And, I'd love to learn salsa dancing. Will we have dance instructors?
Thanks for the offer to replace our missing crib, I will check with my daughter. Any word on the honeymoon couple??? I'm on my way to ge one of those drinks served in a real pineapple, and some medication for DH that he can drink with, does anyone need anything??? I imagine the infirmary will be able to take care of all those minor problems! Can you imagine us all snorkeling together, lol! What a picture it would be from above, lol.
Good news....we have 3 live dolphins in the small pool located beyond the poop deck...there is also another pool where you can also swim with sharks if you are brave enough. Also, the main pool is featuring a large whale where you can ride on its back. Keep in mind that these creatures are in training and will be delivered to Seaworld after they are trained.
Phranque....If we're allowed to bring our spouses to the cruise (mine would be confined to a special area just for himself where he couldn't see me), can THEY swim with the sharks and help train the whale?
GREAT IDEA! I'll be bringing my child and stepchildren, John's sister.....but we won't have to worry about them, order any extra food or anything.....I'm taking them directly to the shark tank after their whale training efforts.
humm. i always wanted to be a whalerider..:) after that movie. extending happy hr sounds sheer heaven but why stop at 2009? after all nostradamus and the mayans predict the world's last day is 12/21/2012?? not that far off and i would much rather be loaded when that time approaches. as far as sharks frenzy i can think of a few that arent in the water :) divvi
CS..I expect more than that...I am thinking triple flips, tailwalking, shaking flippers, synchonized flips, etc etc.....you will have to work a bit harder...
On Monday, the shark tank will be closing for 4 days to allow the crew to clean up the mess. It seems that the lines waiting for the tank have increased, and there is now a 2 day waiting period. We are searching for a bigger shark, since the others are getting a bit sick. Some are not being careful what they feed them. Sharks are not fussy, but you still need to be more cautious of what is thrown into the pool.
Hey, since I believe I'm the first to volunteer my grown step-children, my daughter and my SIL, they should be at the first of the line for the shark tank.....although it may cause some constipation for the poor creatures (the sharks) or at least indigestion.
This week, the cruise ship is having a very short cruise called the guilt trip. After seeing so many caregivers sacrificing themselves to near death fatigue, we are going on a guilt trip. Sometimes, a caregiver may feel guilty because they no longer can give what they considere adequate care. They give 100% effort for so long, that they start feeling guilty when they have to leave for a break, or need sleep, or need a distraction. They leave their lo's and then feel guilty because they have to leave to get some rest. Well, you are certainly entitled to the rest, but not to the guilt. Like all warriors who do battle, there is a point where you need to say time out, and get rested. You cannot be a good caregiver unless you can be effective. No one is immune to fatigue, and sometimes the best thing you can do for your lo is to go away and refresh yourself. So let's make this guilt trip short and sweet, and get recharged!
Remember the saying "He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day". The same with dementia, Fight it as long as you can and then get away for an hour a day or whatever you can do.
