JSM's BEGGING FOR BANNING #27 6/13/11 - 8/23/11

[cadillac]

When a hurricane directly threatens a ship's itinerary or ports of call, the cruise line will make every accommodation necessary to ensure passenger safety. Options may include:

Rerouting ships to different ports that are out of the danger zone.
Extending a ship's time at sea to avoid a storm passing through the area.
Canceling particular ports that are affected by storms or have been recently damaged.
Accelerating or delaying a cruise ship's itinerary to work around the storm.
Passenger Compensation

Cruises are canceled only as a last resort, and each cruise line will offer refunds, future cruise credits, or discounts to compensate for passengers' inconvenience if their voyage must be canceled due to weather. It should be noted, however, that passengers who voluntarily elect to cancel their cruise because of a threatening storm may be subject to the cruise line's standard refund and cancellation policies and penalties.When a cruise line changes an itinerary at the last minute to accommodate a storm, they are not obligated to compensate passengers in any way. Many cruise lines do offer minor compensation, however, such as:

On board discounts
Additional cruise activities if more days at sea are offered
Refunds on port taxes for ports that will not be visited
Assistance with travel plans if the ship's departure or return is affected

When you booked the cruise did you get travel insurance.

Good morning Monkey's,

joesamas mama and Casually cool,

 Horseie sause is yummy on a ham sammy.  Do you use the white or the read sauce?

Morning Seahorse, I use the white sauce it is so yummy.

Thanks, Josamas

The white Horsey sauce is so good, it so tangy, too...I need to discipline myself, as not putting a dollop of sauce on the bread, like I would mayo, I found a little dab will do ya.    I believe the sauce is also good for your health, because it clears your sinuses, I do not have a link 

Yeah Seahorse it is good, and I agree it does open up the sinuses. Chinese hot mustard does that too. 

[joesamas mama]

my dog still has itch problems...egads! drives me nuts with the constant itching, licking, scratching ....he is on benadryl which is helping...

Going to the movies today with the Ya Ya Gals to see The Help....Can't wait

  Itching is horrible for dogs Cookie, sorry your dog is going through that as well. Supposedly there are hypo allergenic foods, I haven't found one that works for Josef yet. 

Have fun at the movies. 

Cookie,


Try putting  tablespoon of Olive Oil in your dogs food.  I did research (at the Library) for a teenager whose dog's hair was falling out because of dry skin, the book said OLIVE OIL. I dropped the information off to her, I saw her later and she said it worked.

My dog can not have a bath anymore than two baths a year, because he will inch.  My neighbors dog had a itch problem after coming back from having a bath at the groomers.

  Never heard of olive oil, but the vet did say fish oil. I am just afraid it will mess with Josef's belly if I give it to him.

[joesamas mama]

Check out this guy - how amazing!  http://youtu.be/ShbC5yVqOdI

  Wow he was amazing!!! I don't think I could even ride a bike, much less do tricks.

[joesamas mama]

Seahorse..thanks for the info on the olive oil..I will try it on Benji's food..the benadryl is helping..

Nite JSM..sleep tight!

The Help movie is soooooo good...I read the book and it was fab..movie was just as good..the stars of the show fit the description of the characters in the book that I had imagined...a must see movie as far as I am concerned if you want to see a great show..lasts a long time too!

  Glad you enjoyed the movie, hope Benji gets better with the olive oil added to his food.

[joesamas mama]

Josef is still having belly troubles. Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday he was fine with the new food, Friday, Saturday and today, 5:30 wake up call, barely down the stairs. I am just wondering if it is the heat making him sick. He is at daycare right now so I can get some laundry done before church and go to the mall. Hopefully his vet will be there when I pick him up and talk about trying something else. He wants to wait four to six weeks, before we change his food. Maybe chicken and rice is the answer. I will cook for my dog (and CC), just not for me 

I  went to help my neighbor with her sick dog.  He has belly troubles, too.

 

So nice of you to help your neighbor, hope the sick dog gets better. Prayers for the owner and the pup. 

Thanks, he was very sick tonight.  Your prayers are appreciated.

I hope he is better today Bearly.

[joesamas mama]

Good morning Monkey's,

Bearlythere, my dog had indigestive problems, until I found a solution- the dry food he was eating was hard for his teeth, I started to pound the dry nuggets in a plastic bag with a mallet.  He finishs his dog food now, and he no longer has indigestive problems.

Dogs like to eat grass it helps their stomachs.  Some dogs eat grass to cough up hair, (I guess) the grass make a dog cough
and then the hair comes up, but not the grass.   

What kind of indigestive problems Seahorse? I may try that for Joe, but I don't think there is anything wrong with his teeth.

[joesamas mama]

Good Morning Monkeys. 

  Morning Trimm.

[joesamas mama]

Damn you Irene!!!  Leave us alone.  I hate you and want nothing to do with you.

I hate Irene too!!! 

[CasuallyCool]

I don't think there is anything to worry about CC... All I care about is they don't cancel our flights.
