Hi, everyone---your laughter almost makes the whole ordeal worth it, LOL....actually, the poor locksmith had to interrupt his dinner to come rescue me, so I figured I'd done him a good turn by providing so much free entertainment...you know, the kind of story he can tell his grandchildren. Actually, he told me that in 22 years of being a locksmith, he'd never seen a predicament like mine, LOL.

Trish, your story sounds almost as dire.....I, too can picture the whole courtroom waiting for the attorney who helped you....and I can picture the story he told about a pyjama (sp) clad woman walking over to his place barefoot in the snow.....

and BTW, to those of you who sent the funny posts about Desperate Housewives...I don't even know what that show IS, so, now you HAVE to tell me about it...I HOPE that this Terri Hatcher is someone to whom it is FAVORABLE to be compared, LOL, LOL.

Ray, my cuise is the Navigator round trip to Tahiti in November....but I WAS on the QE1 when I was a young teenager (crossing N.Y. to Southampton).

I so enjoy all of you and can't wait to meet some of you on future cruises and/or just get to know you better on the message board. Adventures like the patio debacle ALWAYS happen to me, so perhaps I'll be real fodder for free entertainment............affectionatly, Liz.
