Since we did not check prior, I can't answer that, BUT, you probably sm
want to buy them on land since I'd be afraid that the place you are visiting or tour bus, etc., wouldn't have evidence that you paid or something could go wrong, etc. It's no big deal just to pay when you leave the ship. Our ship had a big stand at the exit of the ship with different lines for different things and we would pick where we wanted to visit (the Bahamas) and then would pay right there on the spot. It's probably better that way. Have fun. And I'm jealous! :)

power walking......see link here:
http://www.thewalkingsite.com/howtowalk.html
TIPS FOR WALKING FASTER1. Use good posture. Walk tall, look forward, (not at the ground) gazing about 20 feet ahead. Your chin should be level and your head up.
2. Keep your chest raised, and shoulders relaxed (shoulders down, back and relaxed).
3. Bend your arms in slightly less than a 90 degree angle. Cup your hands gently. Swing arms front to back (not side to side - arms should not cross your body.) Do not swing elbows higher than your sternum (breast bone). Swing your arms faster and your feet will follow.
4. Tighten your abs and buttocks.. Flatten your back and tilt your pelvis slightly forward.
5. Pretend you are walking along a straight line. Resist the urge to elongate your steps. To go faster -- take smaller, faster steps.
6. Push off with your toes. Concentrate on landing on your heel, rolling through the step and pushing off with your toes. Use the natural spring of your calf muscles to propel you forward.
7. Breathe naturally. As you walk, take deep, rhythmic breaths, to get the maximum amount of oxygen through your system. Walk fast enough that your breathing is increased yet you are not out of breath.
WALKING DON'TSCommon mistakes made by walkers... 1. Do not over stride
2. Do not use too vigorous arm movements
3. Do not look at the ground
4. Do not hunch your shoulders
5. Do not carry hand weights or place weights on your ankles
What is the difference in power walking, fitness walking, and racewalking?
Fitness walking is called by many different names - power walking, fitness walking, health walking. Power walking is commonly used to represent an exaggerated walking style. This style of overstriding and exaggerated arm movements is often linked with injuries. Because of this I don't generally use the term power walking. A better term for a healthful energetic walking pace is "fitness walking".
Fitness walking is much more than a stroll or nature walk. When fitness walking you incorporate the muscles of the upper body making it a GREAT aerobic activity. It burns approximately the same calories as running, yet it is much easier on the body. Because more muscles are used it burns calories much quicker than less aggressive walking. It also tones muscles in the buttocks, thighs, hips, shoulders, upper back and abs. Most fitness walkers average about 12 to 15 minutes per mile.
Unlike racewalking; there is no official definition. There are no rules. If you walk at a purposeful fitness walking pace using good technique you are a fitness walker. Use tips above to insure good walking form and to increase your pace.
Ok, I have read your answer
and you are saying for me to accept her for who she is instead of her accepting her mother for the person she really is, is that right? I never judge her, do not put myself in any way in her life because that is not me. I don't put her down and whatever she says I usually put on the back burner and ignore. Having said all that, now I am rethinking my position. I am tired really of trying and I mean trying hard to let her be a part of my life. She is extremely confrontational with me, if I say the sky is a pretty blue she would say it wasn't. I have not changed in my life and have been thinking for sometime now about cutting the ties that bind. This is not a new thought for me, I am just tired of trying. My husband, her stepfather, never ever voices his opinion but this morning in talking with him he said he thoughts perhaps she was jealous of what my life is like now. Since our marriage hubby buys me a really nice car mostly every year as I travel a lot and I have a brand new big home and other things that could play into perhaps jealousy. I will just say this, for years people have asked me if she were an only child. The answer to that is no but that should give an insight into what people think about her actions.
I have read all the posts below in answer to your question (sm)
and I believe your main problem lies in getting him to go to the doctor (I have one of those myself - he will probably die at home because he won't go) and in your case, he doesn't see any symptoms, so why should he go? I sympathize. It seems it might have to be something drastic to make him go. Are there other family members who might be able to help you convince him? A bribe of any kind that might work? Good luck with this. I hope you can get him to go. Sending good thoughts your way.

I have followed your threads since they
first started a few days ago. I kept thinking about my brother and SIL. Their marriage was very much like yours. She would cringe when she heard his car pull in the driveway not knowing what kind of mood he would be in. Never physicaly abusive but definitely verbally abusive. My SIL was and is still my best friend so she told me lots and I grew up with my brother and know what kind of person he is. They finally divorced (after separating several times) after 14 years of marriage. It was the best thing for both as well as the children. It is not always easy to make the decision, my SIL talked about it for over 10 years before she finally did it, but am so glad she finally did.
Then how many more threads

check out the movie Threads...1985
predecessor to Jericho...
Review Summary
Originally produced by the BBC, Threads is a shattering speculative tale the onset of World War III, and the horrors of the post-apocalyptic society that struggles for survival. The film takes place in the ruins of Sheffield, a British working class town. Despite the fact that the world seems to be falling apart all around them, a young couple (Karen Meagher, Reece Meagher) intend to go ahead with their upcoming wedding. As the date draws near, however, simmering international tensions soon erupt into global thermonuclear war. In the devestation that follows, the apocalyptic erosion of society sends mankind hurtling back hundreds of years into an age where famine, strife, pestilence, and death wash over the land like an unrelenting flood of venomous bile. The central theme of the film seems to be that the adage "Life Goes On" just isn't good enough in a world doomed to a slow death by radiation. Without resorting to shock or sensationalism, this one makes The Day After and Testament look like kids' stuff. Though not picked up by any of the major American networks, Threads was widely distributed in the US through the auspices of cable mogul Ted Turner. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Short answer: Yes, it's VERY rude. Long answer inside.
I wouldn't want my husband to ask, either. In fact, if he did and the people said yes, I still wouldn't go and stay with them, because I'd feel like they were pressured. Believe me, if they wanted you to come and stay with them at any point in the last 10 years, they'd have asked you. I, too, live near a vacation destination, and I hate it when people ask to stay with me. They're the rude ones for asking, but it puts me in an uncomfortable position of trying to politely say no. And it seems that when I do say no, the thwarted "guest" then complains to everyone else in our social circle that we are cheap, mean and unwelcoming.
Tell your husband to crack open the wallet and pay for a hotel.
Just my 2 cents - from prior experience, sm
When my husband retired early (pre-65), I received SS because we had a child under the age of 16 (so both parents and the child received SS). Once she turned 16, mine stopped but hers continues until 18 or she graduates from high school, whichever is later. Once she graduates this month, then she will no longer receive SS, just my husband. Also, he turned 65 this year and receives Medicare. I and my daughter have to have our own insurance. So, if your sister-in-law has a child under the age of 16, she could be right about receiving the SS, but not the Medicare.
I meant prior to the 7 and the 8, not before the S (or were you being sarcastic? :-) nm

Followup to a prior posting
A couple of weeks ago, I had posted about making the decision to testify in a court case about an abusive alcoholic who had hit me while we were on vacation. I don't know if anyone remembers the posting or not, but I really appreciated the warmth, support, and kindness of those who responded.
In any event, the trial was last week. When it became clear to my ex-SO that I was going to testify, he contacted his lawyer who contacted the DA about making a plea bargain. The DA still wanted me to come down in case there were any shenanigans (such as withdrawing the plea bargain if I didn't go down, and therefore the prosecutor losing their primary witness). For the most part, he got a slap on the wrist- 30 days suspended sentence, 2 years probation, 40 hours community service, and Hit No More and Substance Abuse Evaluation. When the DA asked me if I was okay with the plea bargain, the only thing I took exception with was a certain way the defense wanted the suspended sentence written. I don't know if it's specific to this state or not, but there is a 'Suspended Imposition of Sentence' and 'Suspended Execution of Sentence'. The ex-SO wanted the SIS because apparently if you get through your probation, the whole thing is wiped off your record like it never happened. The DA, after looking at his record, said the ex belonged in prison anyway and that the SIS is meant for people who make 1 bad judgment, not 30 years of them, so he had no problem with changing the SIS to the SES, which makes it permanent. The judge said for expediency and since the DA and victim (a title I had never aspired to, and hope to never have again) were not opposed, he was granting the plea bargain as outlined, but if he had his way, he would have given him 9 months...frankly, I wanted to stand up at that point and shout, "But you're the judge in here, you do have your way, lock him up!!!!" However, I held my tongue and let the whole sordid episode just come to an end. The arresting officers had shown up and I thanked them again for their kindness and compassion at the time, and headed back to my sanctuary home.
As a side note, making it through 2 years of parole may be a little tough for the ex, as he has been hammered every night since the trial. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that's probably a violation of his parole, although I could be mistaken about that. And I know he's been continuously drunk since he has called me every night at 3:00 a.m. to tell me how much he misses me, and then calls me at 1:00 in the afternoon to ask me to do some 'administrative assistant' type work for him...apparently he's not used to hearing the word no. Fortunately, he has no way of getting the 70 miles to my place, and I have now blocked his phones.
Hopefully, this is how the story ends, he will get bored with getting no response and move on to someone more suitable for him, like Tonya Harding or, even better, Lorena Bobbitt.
sorry. forgot to mention Linda Chavez is in refernce to threads about high food prices.

Prior progesterone levels were perfect...sm
so that's part of the "how did this happen?" question. These are the only 2 times I've been pregnant. With the first pregnancy we never had a heartbeat registered on sonogram. I'll know more in a couple of hours today what the end results of the labs are.
I wouldn't try to trim it prior to roasting...
That's what keeps the meat nice and moist and adds all that yummy flavor! (course, I'm kind of a fattie from good 'ol home cookin' so take my advice on that with a grain of salt).
typo - I'm the one from prior THREAD - not threat.*L*
I had a similar thing happen at my prior - sm
residence. I rented a cottage on a large estate, lived there 8 years, and then the owners wanted to turn it back into a guest-cottage for visiting kids & grandchildren. I can understand that. But I know how these guys at my current apt. operate: (1) No one EVER gets their deposit back. I can forget about it anyway, 'cuz my rugs and fridge are almost as old as I am! ;)
(2) But I've seen their *upgrades* - and all they'll do is put in a cheap, thin Berber carpet with no padding underneath, and maybe paint the walls. Then they'll turn around and rent the place for $1800 a month.
Obvious error in prior reply - meant to say
My two "proceeding" pregnancies,I had no morning sickness! - Sorry about that --
No, prior to One Day at a Time, she went to Captain Shreve High where we both went.

If I don't read before I go to sleep I can't fall asleep. I will read sm
until I begin to fall asleep. They say reading relaxes you fully and it works wonders for me.
I used to suffer from insomnia, but not since I've been doing this - about 5 years now.
Plus, I've grown so much and have gained wisdom by doing so. I enjoy Christian books and reading the Bible.
Wish I had the answer...
up at 2:45 a.m. to get DH off to work, then type from 3:00 am to 5:00 am, then back to sleep till 8:00 am. That's when my 2 yo grandson comes for the day... back to typing at 7:00 p.m. and hopefully done by 10:00 or 11:00 pm. Then off to bed... Try to eat healthy, get some exercise... but at night I do need a shot of caffeine to keep going.. also need to take frequent breaks just to move around to stay away... I used to think that I need more hours in the day.. but then I think I would just end up doing more and more and still not getting sleep... Oh well, only two more years until my DIL is done with nursing school... I hope I can hold out until then.
YOU KNOW THE ANSWER.....you
nm
I like your answer,
makes sense to me.....
Ok, perhaps an answer
In the Bahamas being as Stern signed the birth certificate, it automatically makes him the father. Now with that said and the Bahamas saying the baby is automatically a citizen there (and being born there is not considered a United States citizen)there is going to be some legal wheeling and dealing going on to ever have them do a DNA. The United States does not govern making anyone have the DNA being as the baby born in another country. Any clearer?
My answer is
no and no- just got more sense than to drink or do drugs and do not fool with anyone who would, not even a child.......
Well...I will answer
I am about 50/50... Thought I would lighten everyone's day but there are some people out there who need Midol, I see
Right Answer!!!
//
you already know your answer
just repeat yourself, like she does....I don't have money for that right now, I'm busy with my job. If you give her an inch she's gonna take a mile, you know. She's rude to ask you for exact weight, by the way, good for you not telling Miss Nosy.
And the answer now is
no because I understand about birth defects, nonviability of a fetus, complications of a preemie if they live, etc. so the answer is no, and I got pregnant soon thereafter and had a normal girl some months later.
Well, if she can answer that, then maybe she can tell me
why I have gotten some spots on this brand new $16.00 per tile floor I had installed. I have the tile man who installed coming over tomorrow. I put throughout my grandroom and I asked the other day if I should have sealed it, was told no but I doubt very seriously I would get any kind of satisfaction from where I bought it. Lots of money and now little spots here and there?? Probably not noticable to others but to me and hey, I live here.
Answer
Yes I went to see them and no I did not like, would not go back again. Each contestant performed 1 or 2 times and I thought maybe they would have group as a whole doing several songs, not so. Waste of my time and my money and just think, that was about 2 or 3 years ago and when the contentants were the best, not like this year and you cannot remember most of them on stage.
her answer
I think if you were to ask her and she could respond, she would tell you she had a BIG problem with it!
Thank you for that answer...I like that! (nm)

I LIKE your answer.... now... maybe this is
thinking outside the box... hey there's T-shirts to be made in this line of thinking... I am starting to feel better already, he he. :)
I will answer you as you seem to want to know
I have been in the same place before as the others, struggling, working as many jobs as I could so I know. My father used to fuss at me because I never saved- how could I raising a family? Finally when I got the first money from the skies??, I then decided to make it count. I did not squander, instead paid bills and put back some. I was fortunate in paying myself completely out of debt and I don't owe anything BUT I have to be careful like the next person, I love to spend and have to practice self control because credit cards can get away from me also if I don't watch it. I did have money in stock market before, lost a lot every single month and when my family member gave me lots, kept asking have you paid your bills and stipulation was I COULD NOT BUY IN STOCK MARKET. I gave my word, put money in CDs, find the best interest I can find and if necessary change them from one bank to another if I find a better rate. I am very, very cheap when it comes to buying for myself but I love to do for others. I never meant the post to sound like others took it, people were talking about paying on principal and luckily last year able to do. I will owe big time this year on my taxes- know that already BUT I have set aside enough to pay that PLUS I have extra when the taxes are paid- then again I pay more on the principal for my home. I am very lucky- just sitting here tonight figuring up how much I owe a month for IC taxes- starting in April I get $500.00+ from a retirement fund- that is taxed- but get this- I will use that money and then put another $250.00 with it and I will have my money for my taxes for the month. Like I said I am very rich in love and happiness and to me that is the most important thing in life- have not always had that either. Grateful for what I do have.
Isn't that their answer to

Got an answer
Years ago had a hysterectomy and the next day could not find anything in my frig except grape juice, milk and Grape-Nuts. I ate and ate- I spent the whole night on the royal throne- mother asked did I not know- nope- but apparently the cereal is loaded with bran....
Thanks for the answer sm
After asking the question, I decided to research a little and it sounds like cable is liked more by people. I'm just happy we'll have something other than dial up!
thanks!
So he can answer their ads. nm

You already know the answer....
This is only my opinion but I think you would be much happier on your own. Why stay with a person when there is nothing left and make yourself so unhappy?
One thing I need to say is that he may not have touched you in four years and hopefully if you stay, he will never touch you again but I thought the same thing...I ended up in the hospital with six broken ribs and complications. I would never trust someone who can lay a hand on another again.
Good luck!!
possible answer
The 10 AM phone call was made the next day, the "tomorrow" Judy was talking about.
You won't like my answer ... SM
I would wear both of them out until they could sit down.
The 11-year-old for engaging it (I bet it started there with taunting and teasing) and the 8-year-old for his role, too.
I've raised boys. Been there. Done that. It will work.
You may not like my answer, but I think
stuff starts about this age group. You are right though in that when it is a girl doing "the harm" it is a totally different story. My son is now 14 and went through this with a girl, but I think she really liked him and this is what caused her to pay attention, yet in kids, they kind of think this kind of attention (although it did physically hurt your son) is okay. I wouldn't actually say the girl has special needs.
It hurts us when our kids are hurt, but if I were you, I'd let it blow over because the kids have probably forgotten about it already anyway. I don't know if this helps, but I do hear you and I have been there.
I hope you can learn to forgive (as a Catholic) this little girl for this deed she has done; don't we all deserve a second chance?
ooh, ooh, I know the answer to this one
because we are superior!!!!
Second answer
Okay, I think I'm done with the computer for the night, so the second, similar answer is:
Madam, in Eden, I'm Adam.
Ya'll have a good night!

Wish I could answer that - sm
I am guessing it was via an online purchase, which I only do from secure sites. I have been shopping online for over 10 years and have never had a problem until recently. I would encourage everyone to check their cc statements very closely because when I talked to the fraud dept at Bank of America she said they can hardly keep up right now with all the new cases of cc theft.
