Oh, shoot! :embarrest: - I hope I said `thank you' to you folks somewhere on this board! If not, please accept my acknowledgment of your birthday greetings now!
I don't read my page any more often than anyone else does!!!
The reason for today's missive: when I entered my IFT change last Thursday, 7/7, I was working at a
luncheon, escaped long enough to get to a computer & make an IFT change; but I didn't have
access to a printer. Later, I simply saw what I expected to see.
Today I find that my 7/7 IFT entry, in reality over at the Official TSP Home transfer request
page, was placed totally backwards.... I have no doubts it was my error.
This is not a plea for a change in the tracker entry last week, it is simply to submit my numbering may
be a .01 or 2 above what's listed !!
:laugh:

Hi grandma
Thought I'd drop in for a visit.
Tracking ships can be fun. Another site you could try is www.marinetraffic.com. You should see a world map with green rectangles on it. Click on the rectangle you think the ship should be in and you will see it if it is in that area. The site is slow to update sometimes. You can also search for ships by name. If they are not inside one of the green rectangles, they will not show up. It doesn't mean they disappeared, just we can't see them for free. Here is a location I picked up about an hour ago.
The ship has since gone out of range of the free tracking. The sailwx.info place usually gets updated at least every 12 hours.
Don't worry about your grandson. He is having a good time and loving all the food and fun. The owners of those ships will not take any risks with them. They cost too much and bring in a lot of money.
All my best

I'm back. Stalking cruise ships can be fun.
I found another position at http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shipdetails.aspx?mmsi=311020700. No guarantee that URL will work tomorrow. I got there by searching for "AIS tracking Nassau". No telling what you will get but that's different cookies set I think.
It's about 2330 ship's time so your grandson is probably enjoying one of the disco's, playing pingpong or pool, enjoying one of the group activities; definitely eating something. If the Allure is anything like the Radiance, there was a "free" soft ice cream machine every 50 feet. I ate more ice cream that week then I probably did in the last 20 years.

You are right - this is fun - knowing the sites makes the difference. Thank you for sending them!
As for the worry part, if it is something I have no control over, then prayer will suffice.
I learned long ago that the phrase: "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done in earth as it is in Heaven,
(and in the lives of my grandson, his maternal family outings, the crew, the ship, even as it is in Heaven...")
works wonders for me. ...whether it is about the grandkids, extended family, whatever -
However, though, if I think of it
I might wonder whether the insurance company that holds my pre-paid burial policy will still be solvent in another 20 years !! 
-which, incidentally, if any of you are still around, you're invited to, should you be of the nature that requires invites to such of that!! :laugh:
-oh, yeah, the tsp annuity - well - it is either there or it isn't! I might get pretty ticked at my choices, but not even caffeine can keep me from sleeping - nearly instantly!
I really appreciate the info updates! Thank you again!

Oh, yeah, thanks for reminding me. We are supposed to talk about our accounts. You are doing better than myself so far. It has not been a great month or so.
That attitude you have about worry, those words are familiar to me.
My pleasure to send the links. If you have any difficulties with them or questions about them, please ask.
I appreciate the invite if I outlive you. That insurance company probably will still pay up if some of the antecedents know the policy exists.
