I am a mother of a firefighter and know that it can be a very stressful job and they tend to keep a lot inside. I am also an Italian mother so I feed his shift once a month and provide the station with snacks and protein bars. Those came in handy when the city had 84 calls the night we had recent tornadoes. Loved reading your MSC experience. Enjoy your cruise😎🥂 Thank you for supporting your son’s department!! I’m sure they appreciate that so much. 🙂 Thank you for following along on my journeys.

So keep an eye out for that. If we don't have conflicting plans when they happen, I will try and go and post about it here. As for Deal or No Deal, I think that is luck of the draw on the playing card you purchase. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted September 13, 2023 Author #37 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I just gotta get thru today and tomorrow at work, and then I am on vaca....whoo hoo! I have pretty much gotten things in order for while we are away. I am 99% packed, just gotta toss the last minute essentials in....hmmm, is deodorant really essential? Think I could go 7 days in the Caribbean without it? Just kidding, for the sake of my fellow passengers, and my marriage, I will remember it. I have the money-sucking furball (aka dog) and the furry vampire (aka cat)'s food made up (we feed a raw diet, so had to pre-make it for the sitter), and instructions typed out on their care. I have advised them that we will be gone, and to behave, but all the cat did was blink at me with a blank expression, then retreat to her cave (aka, my closet) to do vampire-y things, and the dog proceeded to counter-surf the homemade banana bread loaf that was cooling when I stepped away to take a call. Yeah....that's a great sign of how things will go for the sitter for the week. Good thing the sitter is really my mom, and she can't quit on me. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Pictures of the offenders. It’s a good thing they’re cute. 12 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom was our fur kid sitter as well, always the BEST! Yes, I know they are cared for the best they can be while I’m away! Plus, I have to admit, I stole the furry vampire (aka cat) from mom anyway. When I moved out, I just shoved her in the carrier with my other cat (who has since passed away) when I left home 12 years ago…I told mom ”Gizzy needed a friend, so I took KatieKat.” She was less than pleased, but allowed the shoplifted kitty to stay at my place in exchange for free rein on my closet when she pet sits. Speaking of which, I need to ask her about a few of my dress shirts that are missing… 1 hour ago, Drew B 58 said: Your cat looks a lot like mine! Awwwww!
