8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 11

[yargrnhoj]

Well, I had fun wasting an afternoon trying to ketchup. But my 'work' day (consisting of an afternoon on a conference call I did not need to be on) is over and I must go pickup ST13 after his musical rehearsal.

TTFN.

Yup...

This is gonna be our first Repositioning and our LONGEST voyage to date!

And on a seperate note - my notebook remains DEAD. And I know where it came from. I was trying to download a video and I did not take the warning from my anti-virus and Windows filter that said it was an out of date certificate. It downloaded a virus that changed my home page to a spyware selling page - and it loaded a bunch of garbage on my notebook. Oh well...

My pal says these people do this to get folks to buy their pirated spyware program that probably is a hacked and reskinned version of something else. Or they might simply be identity thieves. Either way - they were most likely off-shore and not easily caught or punished. I'm having my personal files pulled off and the drive reimaged and everything reloaded. However, most of the images will go into storage.

Oh well... I'm at a hotel using my spouses' notebook while I have access to it.

I'm gonna start reading backwards from here to see what I've missed these past few days...

Hope everyone has been faring well...

So Captain Crash's computer was crashed by pirates?

Sorry Crash but you gotta love the irony! If'n yer gonna videos, you'd best be usin' The Pirate Bay matey!

I don't know. A corpse is better than the guy I had in first class belching all the way from Dallas to Chicago. Thank goodness for noise reducing headphones once we got in the air.

But what about a stinky-air reducing face mask?

Greetings... and good afternoon..

gonna ketchup and see what has happened during the day..

Besides me, anyone else working tomorrow??

Yupper! I intend on being out of there by 2PM. We actually had a director wanted to have meeting tomorrow afternoon. Needless to say, he saw the light.

 

[Sarangel]

Besides me, anyone else working tomorrow??

Yep. We only get the basic seven for holidays, besides I have a payroll that I need to verify before it goes out on Monday. Ah, to live in Europe where they have a civilized vacation philosophy...

Time to go!!!!! Off to Mickey Land.

Have a great Easter everyone!!!!!

AKA. The FairyGodmother who forgot to change her log in back after chat on Friday.

Have a great time FGM!!!

I posted last week that my DW and I were at a youth conference over the weekend in Morgantown, WV. Here are two pictures of my DW and I presenting some youth achievement awards on Saturday.

Please note the cool shirt that I was wearing which several of the ST's liked a lot!

That is a cool shirt! Nice pics too!

And I thought mine was bad -- kidney stone shortly after takeoff from Tokyo to Chicago....

Ouch!

I don't know. A corpse is better than the guy I had in first class belching all the way from Dallas to Chicago. Thank goodness for noise reducing headphones once we got in the air.

Oh you must've flown with DH! Just kidding! He can't afford first class! Geez I'm cracking myself up tonight!

and MSN is also reporting a crewman was killed on another ship during a drill

That's awful!

 

[justmestace]

I'll hang my dirty underwear out there. That ought to work.

That'll just make me lean over the balcony to take a picture to post for everyone on the DIS to see!

 

[justmestace]

I'm gonna have to use that term for DS1!!!!! Why do I have the feeling that between our sons and maybe a few others something is bound to happen to TPC locks?!?!

Maybe we need to outfit them in these to warn the kids' clubs crew?

Hey...I need that t-shirt! They don't call me "Grace" for nothing!

 

[kap158]

I am signing off for the night mateys

I saw picture of that cruise ship mishap in the Aegean Sea.
Horrible!

I will talk to you all tomorrow. Have a great evening!!!

I am - not a holiday for us.

Video games is all my DS13 would do if we let him. He has two friends who come over and play and play and play.

Right now he is on restriction though, no video games, due to some missed assignments at school and irresponsibility at home.... I know it is killing him finding other things to do....

Our DS12 is also on restriction - failed health so no video games for at least another 5 weeks when we get the 1/2 report. It too is killing him.

Bye JR - good to have you back. I enjoyed walking down memory lane.

A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, the choice is "Pig Out" or "Pig In". In "Pig Out" each member of the team must load a tray at Topsider's and successfully carry it out of the buffet to a table outside the restuarant. In "Pig In" each member of the team must load a tray at Topsider's and successfully carry it out of the buffet to a table inside the restuarant.

Both of these are very difficult tasks ..... but for a million dollars I'll try it!

Hi Everyone

Only a few minutes to play ketchup before Survivor, but just wanted to share a little good news in the household this evening.....

We thought we were going to owe Uncle Sam (lots) this year (DH thought he messed up in moving investments around), but got the word tonight we are getting a refund from Fed & State (post #13 is definately appropriate). Since I am remodeling this summer that sure comes in handy!!!

How can you root for Dook?

Temporary Insanity! It will never happen again.

This guy and his girlfriend had had been dating for over a year, and decided to get married.

One day his girlfriend's 18-year-old sister called and asked him to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when he arrived. She whispered to him that soon he was to be married, and she had feelings and desires for him that she couldn't overcome. She told him that she wanted to make love to him just once before he got married and committed his life to her sister.

The man stood there for a moment, then turned and went straight to the front door and walked towards his car.

His future father-in-law was standing outside. With tears in his eyes he hugged me and said, "we are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family."

The moral of the story?

Always keep your condoms in your car.

You switch between "some guy" and yourself: "he hugged me".... Is this from experience?

Hi Everyone!

Richard & Alex

I gave up & went to the doctor to check out my left shoulder - I've had constant pain. So, I've joined the walking wounded although my probelm is not as severe as some of our other DISers. I am not to use my left arm - I've got a sling - taking vicodin - and after spring break I go back for an MRI. I kept thinking that it would just go away. Wrong!

I won't miss have a bunch of fun w/my DGKs next week though - one armed or not!!

Hope everyone is having FUN on vacations.

Later, Chris

For me it was when the Playmates became young enough to be my daughter. That did it for me.

Of course, you have to question whether you can take anyone seriously if they were born after Star Wars came out....

I threw away my iPod earbuds after a week. I hate earbuds.

I hate earbuds!
