SO I send DH an e-mail about the tall ship ta-do in LA.....Here is his response:
"...That's awesome.
Real treat...even for a bitter Coastie like me.
Boys will love it.
We'll have to convince them I asked them to sail over for us!"
Wow! Sailaway could be amazing.
DSs will be so excited!! DH maybe notsomuch... according to him it is much more fun to see a tallship than to sail a tallship. He spent summer of '90 on Eagle.
Sorry to hear of this annoyance Andrew... alas, it's good to see there seems the situation is managable though...
So - again now... who was it who called in the fire brigade? And Andrew ... why are they saying you've been loitering so much with the "hot" fire fighters?

I guess I'm simply too predictable, eh?
I am absolutely amazed at the skill of the plastic surgeon I went to.
I looked like a train wreck last week after the surgery. Now, it is just amazing! He took a pretty substantial hole in my nose and in a week and a half it looks almost normal. He hid all the stitches in the curve of my nose and you cannot see any marks. It still just a bit red. Wow! I think I am going to start saving for some more work that guy can do on me.

uh, I wasn't saying that like it was a GOOD thing........Lots of good stuff !!!!
Just on the off-chance someone did not know this, you cannot renew a childs passport. You have to start from scratch and get the birth certificates, go to post office, apply, etc. The good news is I get to keep their 1st passports (their pictures were adorable). The bad news is we cannot find their birth certificates.
I got on line as the girls were both born in Texas but separate counties.
Both counties had completely different criteria (of course Dallas was the worst) and I was geting frustrated. One would accept checks the other one would not (cash or money order required, but cannot send cash through the mail)
Anyway I kept digging and there was a Texas Office of Vital Records site where I could order the birth certificates online and pay with a credit card.No printing out pdf forms, completing each one separately, mailing them to 2 separate places with separate forms of payment etc. One online form and done!
Now let's see if I actually get them.
Having not been along for the entire "ride" on the DIS board, I like having both sites. My DW uses the Pirate zone site exclusively to keep up to date and has only been on the DIS one time and finds it overwhelming. I find it absolutely amazing and gracious that someone(s) has taken the time and effort to set up the pirate zone site at no cost just for our little ol' cruise.
It's very helpful with the planning tools, ability to see a little bit about fellow pirates and now, being able to discuss some of the key planning issues.
My guess is that the extra discussion board is necessary so that we can effectively interact on the site. Yes, they could simply post the planning information links to the first page of this thread, but there would be no way for members to concisely and effectively post their suggestions/feedback/comments. Although it'd be nice to have the same log-in for both, I'm not a tech geek but I'm sure that the pirate zone board was set-up in the most effective way to accomplish the ability to interact with the planning info available on pirate zone site and there's no way to really accomplish it on the DIS without asking for own dedicated section. Plus, I just use the same username and password that I use on the DIS, so it's easy to remember.
Thank you, thank you to Tom, Ed and everyone else involved in establishing & maintaining the pirate zone site and board!!
Tom had graciously helped run the board when there was no one else that stepped up to the plate!!It was hard to post REAL INFO which seemed to get lost in this thread.
Ok I'm managing to stay caught up now and I've got a 2 week break from school next week so hopefully I can participate more.
Very quickly
Andrew sorry to hear you had a bad day
April Birthdays - another one here!! All these Ariens on board that'll be interesting
Cats - never put cats together but we are good at bunny intros and would use the same methods as given above.
Tall ships - that sounds really cool
In this case its sensibly disposing of the end, not putting it somewhere stupid deliberately. But yes Smokers are addicted and its hard to give up.

That's great!
Thank goodness for that, at least!
Glad you are home safely . . .
I'll do it!
Well...
... if ya ask Alicia I'm STILL learning all sorts of stuff she had been tryin' ta drill into my pea brain these past 24 years. <wink> What was that dear?
predictable! response from CC.
