Comment by Loriemae - AD Rating - PIR 7/27 on July 19, 2012 at 8:44am: Good Morning Ladies,

8 days....OMG....I can't believe it's only 8 days!!!!! This time next week my family will be at the Sacramento Airport waiting to get on the plane that will take us to our SR!!!!! Getting excited!

With today being Thursday...our usual mail day...I am hoping for a letter today!!! I imagine our SR's have been very busy this week so if no letter....I will be good with that....I will be good with that (repeat 3 times...lol) No News is Good News.....besides this really is all about my SR and not me. I know he has been in good hands these past several weeks!

A big shout out to the 937 for an awesome showing at Captains Cup this Saturday!!!!! Hooray for the 937!!!!!

Comment by ruzymommy(Ship2/Div937) on July 19, 2012 at 8:09am: Lala-Oh I am sure I will LOVE them! thanks for the info.

diannep-I know where she is going for A school. Can I post that here?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 19, 2012 at 12:46am: Oh my...it's raining and lightning in GL. I knew the Weather widget was interactive...and I have seen it snow in winter...but never lighting.

I know the WW is large but this is the smallest size for it to be so that it is interactive. Play around with it. The very top bar has the current date and time and then just below it the next four days...click the arrow and it will show more. Click the "LIVE" tab anytime to go back to current time.

The rest of the bar is for the marker (green) to move along throughout the day. You can click anywhere on it to change the time. So, if you don't see this until morning go back a day to about 12:30 AM and watch for awhile!

Hey...in the bottom left corner the number and the Olympic rings is a countdown for the London Olympics!

Wow...you can see the streaks and the whole screen lights up...

Sleep tight...to the Sailors and recruits at RTC...G'nite!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 18, 2012 at 9:17pm: ruzymommy, they have been shipped and you should have them tomorrow or Friday at the latest. Please be sure and post a comment to let me know what you think of them :-)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 18, 2012 at 9:15pm: I have a mom that has an iPhone and has responded to me privately. She does what I do...stays signed in to N4M's. Then when she gets an email she clicks on the link that takes you to the site...

Mine says:

To view the new reply, visit: (and then the link)...I click it and then I wait for it to load It takes me there and I am able to reply.

She has stayed signed in to N4M's for a few weeks on her iPhone.

I will still ask about an app...but hope that helps folks with their SmartPhones. I do try to sign out at bedtime.

Comment by diannep on July 18, 2012 at 6:25pm: Lisa: Sometimes RTC FB will post Captains Cup winners ....but usually the following week. Many are informed by SRs/sailors who are fortunate to get to call home.

Comment by PROUDSAILORMOM on July 18, 2012 at 5:44pm: So excited!!! A week from today we will be on the plane, then to get ready to see my daughter!!!!!! Do they post the Captains Cup winner? I wish I knew when her BS was, I can't hardly sleep. I know it sounds crazy~~just wondering what she's doing. A week and a half to go!!!!! Can't wait to meet everyone!!!
