Beautiful Morning Everyone !
I laughed so hard about the sailors seeing your husband Melia. And Anti M - that was a Kodac moment! Gee - walking and talking on the phone too? One funny moment I remember with my son - right after graduation from BC - my son having a scoll on his face because he couldn't have a beer. And his dad and 2 friends told him they would drink an extra just for him. No - I didn't have my camera ready - missed it. But I did call relatives about this and some sent pictures to him - pictures of relatives drinking an extra beer for him. That will be the page titled " Here's one for You" in his memory book. And that book is still in outline stage. Oh - I have a question - my son shared that he had not been sea sick at all, until he was told to take the sea sick pill. Then he got sea sick. What's up with that? And ditto on queston about leave. take care T;Lynn

LOL, I chewed out some sailors once at Disneyworld. This is back when the Navy had three boot camps, one of them was in Orlando. It was quite common for newly graduated recruits to go to Disneyworld. Far less common for families to go to graduation. I was going to school in Georgia on a military base, we'd taken leave and were down in Orlando. I went into the bathroom and there were three female sailors there. They were in front of the mirror making their uniforms more sexy and letting down their hair. I quietly washed my hands and proceeded to scare the snot out them by saying GET BACK IN UNIFORM ASAP! They thought the base sent spies out, LOL! Any petty officer can tell any junior sailor to correct their appearance.

Hi,
Debi, just read your comment about the grand kids moving in. My family HAD to move in with my mother - medical reasons. And YES - there will be pulling out of hair - at times - but if you were to talk with my mother - 89 this coming Halloween - she will share all the fun moments. I just suggest a long talk between adults and set up rules. It works, until Grammy breaks them - because she says so! My boys and their friends are STILLED spoile by her! But they spoil her too. Then when your sister calls with any stories ( fun- upsetting - outrages) jot them down in a journal - these make great stories at family reunions and possible great story lines for a new soap opera you can write. And with the money you will make from a new soap opers - you can pay for all if Navy for Moms and Dad cruise! All Navy Moms and Dad who agree, that with the monies that Debi will make from her upcoming soap opera - she can pay for the fun cruise for all of us - comment back ; " Anchors Away !! " Have a wonderful May Day - and Lei Day ! T-Lynn
PS No news from the USS Chicken Pox.

The trick with cruises is to book them last minute. The cruise lines discount the cruise rather than sail with empty rooms.

Yeah, I can see how that would slow you down. A cruise instead? That's how we got there... the Navy used to transport families that way if they didn't want to fly. Not anymore, too bad. It was way cool for a kid.

Debi, Chicago is wonderful. I wish I'd been able to see more of it than the occasional weekend.

Melia, I don't know about the plumeria liquid, but I know if I wear a lei with it, I start sneezing within seconds. We had a bunch of plumeria growing in housing, everyday smelled wonderful. And we'd get boxes of mangos when we filed up at the gas station. The guy had dozens of trees along the road and he'd just give them away. But I am glad they don't burn the sugar cane fields anymore, that was terrible, black ash in our noses for days and days.

"Wog" is short for "pollywog". Crossing the equator is a big deal, always has been. Hubby just left or I could tell you about the poles, the dateline, the Greenwich line, and so on. There's a term for crossing them all, Shellbacks, Golden Shellbacks... I can look them up.

Chicken pox usually can't be caught twice. It is more dangerous in adults, the ship probably has a close eye on any sick sailors. They'll have plenty of lotion and fever-breakers on hand, the docs don't like sailors to try and treat themselves. I hope they all get better very quickly!

Thanks everyone. I am emailing my son, with this infomrations. At least this can be a start to help the one with chicken pox out. Will talk later - my eyes are gving out. T:)

Well I am not a doctor, so I am only guessing. Chicken pox is supposed to give you live long immunity. But I think there are RARE cases that the first case was not enough to make you immune. Doctors... what do they know. They told me that I could not get the German Measles from the shot. I got the shot after my third child (long story). I ended up with a full blown case of the German Measles. What a mess. So my guess is that it is possible, but highly unlikely.
My mothers cure for chicken pox is benadryl. It worked for my kids. I think I was supposed to suggest a bath with oatmeal, brown vinegar or baking soda. But I was more of a "give them drugs" mother.

Melia,
Thank you for the lei and the wish of Lei Day. I visited the the site about the this holiday and leanred that the lei is only given to share love - respect - and to honor someone. Sorry, thought it was for welcoming tourist. Thank you for caring about us. T:)
