Dairy, I had the best thanksgiving I've had in a long time. We had a good trip. It started out pretty shaky though. We stopped about half way between home and the beach to do some hiking. We hiked about a mile, maybe a little less when Kimmie realizes that she has lost one of the lenses out of her glasses. So we back tracked looking over the ground we had covered, which was covered with a zillion leaves. Didn't find it so we called her eye doctor and told them we was out of town and had lost a lense and asked about getting her prescription. The lady told us what it was and I asked her "That's all I have to tell them". She says "yes they'll know what to do". So we go on to the beach and stopped at vision works at one of the malls. I explained to the lady what happened and told her exactly what the lady told me so that "they'll know what to do" and I was told that they couldn't fill it without a doctor writing a prescription. So I called the eye doctor and asked them to fax the prescription to vision works. She said I'd need to fax a release form before they could send a prescription so we did and then they did. The lady at vision works looked at it and said she couldn't leagally fill it because it was written on 11/25/08 and it had an expiration date of 10/08. I called back and was told that they could fill it if they wanted to but that was to keep the doctor writing it from being responsible. I told this to the lady at vision works she said she could not fill it. I was getting a little riled up at this point so I called the eye doctor back and explained again that we was out of town and that Kimmie got headaches if she didn't wear her glasses and could she please send a prescription that could be filled. After all that unnecessary and useless hassle she finally sent one that could be filled and 20 minutes later we was good to go. Now she knew from the get go that I couldn't get one filled without a prescription yet she said nothing, then she does that little crap with the expiration date knowing that they couldn't fill it like that. Looks like to me if they write the prescription right then they can't be held responsible if someone fills it wrong. That was down right unethical.Dairy, after all that we checked in and went swimming. We stopped at a visitor center earlier in the day and signed up for one of those time share sells pitches and was able to get tickets to the Dixie Stampede for $50 for all four of us. It normally costs like $170 for four people. So Wednesday we sat through the sells pitch and Thursday we went to the show. Friday we played putt-putt. We swam everyday and just kicked back. Usually we are going all the time when we go somewhere but it was nice to just take it easy. I think we only left the condo once a day.
Dairy, Saturday started out pretty interesting also. Lynn woke me up while it was still dark and said that sirens were going off and lights were flashing. About that time there was an annoucement that it was safe to return to our rooms. So we lay back down and then the fire alarm in our room starts going off. Dairy, what's the first thing you would do if the fire alarm in your room went off, especially when your family is in there? Yeah, I called the front desk and asked if we needed to leave. If it wasn't for the one incident already I think we would have just skedaddled. I was told there was no fire or emergency it was just a problem with the alarm system. We could hear people in the hall so I go out there. They are discussing if they should evacuate or not. Dude we was on the 7th floor if an evacuation was necessary they was wasting valuable time so I listened for a few minutes and then told them we was safe and it was a problem with the alarm system. Then we got up and sat on the balcony and watched the dolphins for awhile before packing up and coming home.
Dairy, I think we may spend every thanksgiving at the beach from now on, as long as we can afford it.
PSALM 7:15&16 HE MADE A PIT, AND DIGGED IT, AND IS FALLEN INTO THE DITCH WHICH HE MADE. HIS MISCHIEF SHALL RETURN UPON HIS OWN HEAD, AND HIS VIOLENT DEALING SHALL COME DOWN UPON HIS OWN PATE.
