Post by: Danielle on August 18, 2006, 08:11:50 AM
... for Aruba tomorrow (Saturday).  Please think good thoughts for me with all this junk going on with the terrorist plots? I'm really nervous about it, and it's a pretty long flight, so I'm kinda worried.   :scared

Talk to you guys soon!   :wub

Play nice and don't hassle Andy!   :rotfl

Wow!  I didn't know where Aruba was and just looked it up.  You'll have a great time!  Try not to worry about the silly terrorists - I think you're tougher than them anyway!   :winky

Take care and enjoy your time off!
SalD.

I've found a picture of that krazy koin at wikipedia!

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4d/ArubaCoin.jpg)

You know something? Pakistan used to have strange coins too. They were used in my childhood and now they are no longer minted. We had one star shaped coin with toothed edge (about 10-15 teeth),  a diamond shaped coin (actually it was also a squared shaped coin embossed diagonally so there you have it a diamond shaped coin) and there was a coin during my parents childhood which had a hole in the center.

I had a hobby of collecting currency of different countries, several years ago; but unfortunately robbers broke my plastic safe lookalike kiddie bank and looted all my savings and ruined my collection :mad

After that I stopped collecting coins and banknotes. :sigh

This is how those coins looked like.

Thanks, everyone!

Sajid, I got the coin.  It's pretty cool.   :biggrin  Thanks for letting me know about it!

The trip was awesome.  I had a very good time.  :happyyes

I came back to some more problems, though.  Aside from personal issues, now I just found out that I need another cardiac ablation done.  My SVT's (Supraventricular Tachycardia) returned.   :(

That last ablation was done in 2001, so I lasted a while before they came back, but not long enough.   :-\

So, I've been going back and forth to cardiologists, and also still going to the gastro doctors for my stomach.  I'll keep you guys posted.   :)

Hi, I'm still here in Karachi and posting via my cellphone. Glad to know you had a good time. My cousin's wedding was great too but apart from that my got ruined due to a personal issue (not a health issue) after which I wished I could come back in a flash. I really missed all of you.
More details when I get back(I hate typing on cellphone)
Bye and take care!

Glad you had a good time, Danielle.  Sorry to hear about your health problems.  I'm not sure what an ablation is, but I hope it goes as smoothly as possible.  Jean

Thank you, Kathy.  All of you give me strength as well.   :hug

Sajid, I'm sorry your time got ruined, but I'm glad it wasn't a health issue.  Have a safe return home.  :)

Thank you,  Jean.  You can read about the ablation process at this web site if you wish.   :happyyes

Oh dear..... I can't believe how you are able to enjoy your vacations with all this going around with your health. You might have read that I got real tense with my minor blood issue and all that tension caused my nose to bleed and ruin my flight; while you are have a lot more serious health issues than me.

You are very very very brave! Hats off to you! You are a real inspiration for all of us :thumbsup

I pray Almighty that you get well really soon. :pray Amen  :getwell

Take care

Peace
