8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #2

[got2travel]

And who could forget the denim jackets with leather fringe......

I had one sorta like this...

I had one about that shape, but no fringe. I drew a fighter jet on it, added a few sayings, put on some military patches and wore my dad's Purple Heart and Bronze Star medals.

Okay I went and did it guys! Since nobody seemed to object so I went ahead & created 8/17/08 The Kids of Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC! Hope that's okay with everyone!

Thank you - By the way my DD has been talking to your DD through email already

 

[yargrnhoj]

Thank goodness he wasn't wearing Drakkar Noir....I could not have been held accountable for my actions. Confession time....I still love the smell of that stuff.

Oh yes, boys who smell like Drakkar.
MMmmmmmm.

Good thing I am not coming on the cruise. I still use Drakkar aftershave...

 

[yargrnhoj]

YIKES J.R.!
Well it's the 8th. If your house is still intact and your pets are still breathing, Feb is looking up for you already!

I didn't mention one of DD6's Christmas present fish died. Thanks for reminding me of the continued drama of my daughter and her fish.

Needed a MATH ALERT too. Now we know how to explain complex math problems to Cheryl -- explain them in terms of JCP discounts.

JR, I imagine I am echoing the setiments of everone when I say "we all know what you mean here..."​

Let me tell you, I was never so happy to see February appear on the calendar. If this is what 2008 is going to be like, I'm going back to bed and waking up when it is 2009. Let's see....

a) started a new position at work, one I thought would finally resolve my year in limbo, then the whole company imploded to the point no job is safe, so now I am working 12 hour days trying to fix a mess someone made last year knowing it is likely all for naught.

JR, at least your toils are nothing like this poor womans',.... right???
< steady silent sheepish grinning >​

b) DS14 suffered a bad case of frostbite on his feet because he is an idiot. (Got locked out at a swim meet and walked outside in 0 degree weather with no shoes and no shirt)

Sometimes we make the wrong choices ... and hopefully we recover and learn from them. I can remember doing all sorts of DUMB things as a kid - and thankfully I'm still alive ... and mostly "intact"....

c) My long-lost, presumed dead, brother apparently ran up huge debts before disappearing a few years ago, leading to nightly calls from bill collectors trying to find him, including one who claimed I was hiding him in my house that led me to have to call the sheriff's office.

d) Someone in the house had the flu just about every day in January, including DS14 getting violently ill on our way to a travel meet when we were miles from nowhere.

JR, this flu season has hit my home hard - as it has with many of our neighbors here... and even the CDC confirms we are in the midst of a serious flu season which rivals the "spike" we had in MORTALITY back in early 2005... http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm

e) Did I mention we've been up to our ears in s*** and my snowthrower broke and since DS14 was hurt I've been having to shovel all by myself?

Anyway, enough whining. February hasn't been too bad...yet. Light at the end of the tunnel and all that.

Oh, hello, Mr. on-coming freight train.

JR, I'm pretty sure that lite approaching at the end of the tunnel is either a Dr Who Tardis in flight or ... your symbolic FREEDOM from annoyance and adversity in these previously mentioned matters.

Stace is going to be off the boards for a little while.....

I need a cigarette.

 

[captaincrash]

I need a cigarette.

Stace....

Tisk, tisk, tisk...

Please forgive me - I have just the best intentions...
< wink >​

 

[DisneyVegas1]

I need a cigarette.

[buckifan]

Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight.

Oh no here we go again. I have to read it on the board that your shopping again. Haven't we run out of money yet.

JR don't give her anymore encouragement.

That was my favorite song when I was about 5. I can't imagine what my parents were thinking when I walked around the house singing it!

So, J.R.’s debt calls remind me of a similar situation that we are dealing with. Not a relative, but annoying none-the-less. Obviously, when we moved to VA, we got a new home phone number. Well, it turns out that the phone company didn’t let the number go dormant for very long before re-assigning it to us – and the previous owner was apparently a deadbeat & international matchmaker!

Let’s see, we’ve gotten constant calls from a 2 credit card companies, GMAC and a mortgage company. The calls eventually stop, but it has caused me to have some interesting conversations. I’ll call the number left on voice mail and get lost in phone loop h-e-double-hockey-sticks. Please enter account number…uh, don’t have one…please enter social security number…uh, I don’t think so…when I eventually get to a real live person somewhere in India we go through the whole drill again.

Account number?
I don’t have an account with you, that’s why I’m calling.
What’s your social?
I’m not going to give that to you. You have the wrong people! I’ll give you the phone number you keep calling.
I can’t look the account up by the phone number, I need either your account number or your social.
You won’t find either in your system. I’ve never had an account with you!
I need your social to verify that we aren’t looking for you.
AAAaarrrrrrrrggghhhhhh Please stop calling 3 times a day!

Then they usually transfer me, drop the call, and I get to start all over again.

Oh yeah, and our “friend from Ghana” calls looking for “beautiful American woman to marry” about once a month – at 2 a.m.

Yes I know! Sounds like the kids will be having a blast together!

I need a cigarette.

OMG!

Oh no here we go again. I have to read it on the board that your shopping again. Haven't we run out of money yet.



JR don't give her anymore encouragement.

Oh well at least your DW shops for clothes...I shop for vacations! I'm looking at putting a deposit down on another cruise!

 

[sk8ingmom]

She can't be out of money, she still has checks left.
