hokie carla

hey ruru, we went on a cruise

8:36 am

hokie carla

I only had one wifi device in my pkg so it was a pain to play on my phone and switch over to other stuff.

8:37 am

hokie carla

hey bea

8:38 am

hokie carla

i have an iphone mini so when I say it's a pain, it is a pain. but I did find a few words some days.

8:40 am

rururocks

8:41 am

rururocks

I wish Dart would take a cruise with mini iphone :D

8:41 am

hokie carla

well, it was included in a drink and food package and also included tips and it wasn't that bad

8:42 am

rururocks

where did you cruise to? I've never been on a cruise

8:42 am

BzznBea

Why don't you buy a cruise package and send it to Dart as an award?

8:42 am

rururocks

I tried that already Bea.. an Afghanistan river cruise

8:42 am

rururocks

it didn't work

8:42 am

rururocks

8:42 am

hokie carla

this was only our 2nd one and both times have been to caribbean. no repeats though, all different ports.

8:43 am

hokie carla

this time we stopped at Sint Maarten, St. Thomas, San Juan, and Turks & Caicos (Grand Turk)

8:43 am

rururocks

we thought you were kidnapped by ISIS terrorists hokie

8:44 am

hokie carla

I'm sure molly came and told you you have no idea what happened to me

8:44 am

Book Doctor Gwen

I was wondering where you were, hokie. Glad you weren't kidnapped :D

8:45 am

8:46 am

origami

Is he going to rename it the Trump Space Center?

8:47 am

hokie carla

mr. homie is a very reluctant cruiser. he only agreed to this because our neighbors were going and taking a big group. I actually love cruising, even with my lifelong motion sickness problem. just take bonine every day.

8:47 am

hokie carla

but I am still "moving" today. will see how long that takes to go away.

8:52 am

hokie carla

we do miss having food and coffee this morning

8:54 am

For those following, Jill in on life support, but has had complications and multiple stroke. Her son just posted and per jills earlier wishes she will be removed from life support. Rest in peace, Jill. We will remember you.

So sad for Jill and her family. thank you for sharing crosshair.

3:27 pm

Jillibus passed years ago. Not sure what Jill is being talked about now.

4:09 pm

hurshy

well the only other players in the rankings with "jill" in their username are jillyjill (Montana) and MammaJill (Texas), so if it's a canadian... maybe it is someone who doesn't have Jill in their username? but crossy thinks we will know who it is?

4:30 pm

Soodle

The person being spoken about is Jillyjill.

4:39 pm

rururocks

that's a bummer...

4:40 pm

Yes, jillyjill was Jill Deppel. I, too, was fond of her "Tonight at Chez Deppel" meal posts. We also had a couple of Lexulous games going at all times on FB, been playing her for years now. She's funny and smart, and I will miss her so much.
