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

[Verandah Man]

oh my, you're an old man

Then we must be older than dirt............. Class of '73(me) reporting in, and Hazel is Class of '72. Where is my rocking chair???

 

[micmse2003]

I have a feeling there a quite a few of us who will be reaching that milestone in 2008 and wil be celebrating while on the TOAL.

My milestone will be 40 years of wedded Bliss on our TOAL.

Let's be careful with all the "senior" talk.....someone will be celebrating her 50th on the cruise. And I ain't talkin' Tinkerbell.

I have a few of on you Stace. I realize I have been married longer than some of you are old!!!!

 

[micmse2003]

I have 500 more posts to ketchup up on. I just wanted to say I loved all the Easter pictures and the mini meet pictures.

We have a winter storm warning out here for SNOW.

I might have lots of time to ketchup. I will be snowed in.

I found some unexpected booty this morning.

Unfortunately it was when I caught a glimps of my profile in the full length mirror . . .

Boy, I feel down right old.

HS Class of 1980.

(I just turned 45.) Watch the walker and pass the Geritol please.

Kathy, you're still just a kid compared to Hazel and I....................

My YOUNGER brother Rob graduated in 1980 as well!!!

Dh and I also are '86 grads! Dh will just have turned 40, I will be just shy of my 40th as of cruise time. We should have a big ol' party to celebrate everyone's 40th b-days next year. Sounds like there are loads of us!

Task Force?

I'm willing to re-celebrate mine as I won't ever be aging again....

 

[tom31b]

oh my, you're an old man

That's what my kids tell me....

I feel it sometimes too....

 

[Verandah Man]

How long has Crash had that new tag about the millions of pictures he takes on a cruise? Is that new or did I miss when he got it???

I think the tag fairy gave him that tag a couple of months ago.

Age is only a number. You're young at heart and that's what counts!

Or I could say that I like the fact that we are "oh-so-much" wiser than these whippersnappers!!

Just doing a little prirating Andrew. Still trying to ketchup.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! What a night. I didn't get to bed until 1:30...and it wasn't because I was DISing. I was at the ER with DS from 6:50 until 1:10 am. We went to a birthday party yesterday afternoon & the kids were outside playing on the trampoline. He is use to them & knows the rules. Well, he was getting down because I told them we were going home and his foot slipped on the stepstool making him fall headfirst to the ground. He of course put his hands out to protect himself and his right hand took the impact. He came in crying and the palm of his hand was bleeding from what looked like a puncture. The kids showed the dad where he had fallen and he found a pine tree twig that probably caused it...since he also had a couple of splinters in the palm of his hand as well. I rushed home to drop off DD and have the nurse next door look at it to see if a trip to urgent care was justified or overreacting on my part. She said that it looked like it was starting to swell from something being inside the skin so off we went...only to find it closed early for Easter. A quick call to the ped on call had us going to the ER to get it checked out...where we waited a very long time. It was an hour inbetween everything...having his name called for triage & registration, 80 minutes before being called back to sit on a bed in the hallway to wait another 70 minutes to have the doctor check him out, then an xray, then meds, then move to a room. It was after midnight before the doctor came in to treat it. It took longer for the meds to numb his hand...the poor kid had the needle poked in his hand many times to get that done. Good thing though because they had to hold him down just because he saw what the doctor was going to use to cut his hand open to get the stick out. I worked on keeping his eyes covered the rest of the time and he was in good spirits soon after that was done. The doctor was really good with him so that helped a lot. We hadn't had dinner so I told him that he could have anything he wanted when we left. After picking up a milkshake at McD's we finally got home.

DD just went to school...not at all happy about the fact that her brother is still in bed sleeping. I am going to try to go back to sleep too before he wakes up & needs more painkillers. He has a splint since they have to treat it as a sprain due to where it happened. He is concerned about not being able to write or play his gameboy. I'll check in some time today.

I hope DS is doing better by now. Not too exciting to spend time in ER. Have been there and done that way too many times.

The secret is no full length mirrors in the house! I can't tell you when I saw my profile last.

I am class of '76 (the good ole Bicentennial year)! Everything was themed "Yankee Doodle". I celebrate the big 50 next year. I have been getting AARP stuff in the mail since I was 45. Last week I actually opened the envelope last week and you know there are some really good discounts for things. I might have to reconsider! Need to save as much as I can for the TOAL!!!!

I can understand if kid is really sick... But I'm not one of those parents who will keep my kid home at the slightest sniffle....

My DH has nieces who are allowed to stay home at the drop of anything...I feel sorry for their bosses later in life.....

I've always taught my dd to suck it up and go to school. (i draw the line at puking of course) Many jobs do not give you sick time now-a-days and since I'm not independently wealthy i go to work.

DF/Sil has a perfect attendance record for ALL FOUR YEARS of high school! She had to go even if she was sick, sneezing, coughing, hacking... Yeah, she was a Typhoid Mary because the other kids got sick.

BTW her name IS Mary!

Even now she doesn't take off sick from work! She gets one free bonus day because she didn't take any of her 14 sick days during the year! We tried to tell he it really would be okay for her to take 2 sick days so as to extend her trip by that amount be she doesn't want to give up her one free day award.

What happens in Vegas......

Hello All,
Just checking in to say hello. I can't seem to get all this painting done. I hate painting. With all that is going on around here, the TOAL is going by fast for me.

Did I mention that I hate painting? That's all I have been doing and packing.
I am driving with Chuck this Friday ( 13th ) to Chicago unload a truck then fly home on Sunday.

Still have painting to do............when will it end? I am sore and tired and YES need to mention how I hate to paint.

Let me know when you are officially in Illinois. We plan on having a mini meet if the weather ever warms up!!!

Thank you ....Its not so much the Tattoo for CJS , I also like the Tattoo and think it really is a cool tattoo and what it symbolizes (im nuts) no just joking ....In the Movie the tattoo is explained in a sense that the sun and the Ocean represent "A Captain" and of course the Sparrow represents of course Captain Jack Sparrow..Thats why when Norrington looked at it he said Captain Sparrow.......In other terms the Tattoo represents "freedom" and I like that expression
Didnt hurt at all ....they call that area the "DUDE" spot and there are a couple of other areas like the upper arm where most get a tattoo as well ...the Dude spot is an area that really doesnt hurt at all ..Dont get me wrong there is a little pain but nothing a person cant tolerate ..

Thanks for explaing the tatoo. Now you don't seem too crazy. I really do like it. I am just chicken. I prefer not having pain.

 

[magiroux]

FOr what it's worth... I'll let ya all in on a little secret. In the last couple of weeks with my computer dead and me sidelined off the DIS mostly ... I had MY birthday pass and I guess I had not posted the date on the DIS board yet. Oh well... I liked having had a quiet DIS birthday.... (snif).

Awwww, CC.........

Happy (belated) Birthday

Hi All,

Just had to sign back in real quick. Just arrived home a few minutes ago from picking Angelina up from work. She got out a little late, but was carrying a B-a-B box with her. Little did I know, she had made me an "early" birthday present at work tonight, I have attached a photo below. You should have seen me grinning from ear to ear when I opened the box.

Did Agelina say what wish she put on the heart in your cute little pirate. How could you call her a ST after what she did.

Welcome Home. Liz. Sounds like a great trip. Being an American History buff, DC is on my "short list" of places I want to see.

I'll have to ask her if she made a wish when I pick her up from work tonight.

Not to worry, she will show her ST side again...................... But we do learn to deal with it, as it is part of being a teenager!!!
