8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 13

[Verandah Man]

Good morning all.


I woke up and DS has not made it home yet. Boy is he in trouble.

Oh Boy, I wouldn't want to be in his shoes............

Ahhh.... but the BEST Sashimi (and sushi) is the sort that was swimmin' just a few moments prior to consumption. That is... with the possible exception of a fish that's NOT been shocked in a chlorinated pool prior to consumption! You should try some FRESH sashimi (or sushi) versus the usual variety found in markets or sushi bars.

Yeah, that was kind of the point. Sushi that was last seem swimming in the WL pool along with a bunch of toddlers would not be 'fresh'.

I got hooked on sushi and sashimi after spending most of the summer in Tokyo a couple of years back in the kind of places where they did pull the stuff out of a tank and then chop it up.

 

[yargrnhoj]

So..... you're a candidate for MALE BREAST REDUDCTION? I've heard of this before however I have yet to encounter someone in real life with this affliction... My regrets to your wardrobe... <chuckles>

No, it's my massive pectorals that are the problem.... <cough, cough>

 

[yargrnhoj]

Apparently chat got really interesting after I left!

I think I know why my subconscious keeps me away from chat. It sounds like I would get myself into some serious trouble if these are the discussion topics.

 

[yargrnhoj]

We used to tell little ones, when the ride was 'scary' "Its just mickey magic, its not real. Mickey magic will never hurt you"

I just tell them, try the ride, if you don't like it, as soon as it ends, you can get off.

Have a great Monday

 

[yargrnhoj]

Got it! Have to keep that one in mind!


See how well that works - I see MATH ALERT!!! and I was able to skip right along! Thank you Tom!

Evil Overlord step 2: post MATH ALERT on very important post regarding how to call DCL to get a room assignment and an upgrade...

 

[yargrnhoj]

Only because I looked it up to see how to spell it.

You shouldn't have said that -- none of us would have known and we all would have assumed you had a fantastic vocabulary.

 

[yargrnhoj]

Oh that's right....I forgot that you're thirty-something UGH




There is NOTHING too expensive for Moi!

I'd like to ask how much in Linens-N-Things please? I got it for $49 on the JCP online outlet. Same with my cordless blender....around $50 I think.






Well JR, with that statement, all is forgiven

But wait just a moment while I get my boots, because it's gettin' deep in here now

I think it was $59.99. It couldn't have been too expensive if I was thinking of buying it because I am the world's worst cheapskate.

Edited to add: MY 2500TH POST!

 

[yargrnhoj]

Hello Friends and fellow members of Chataholics Anonymous!!!!! (hey JR I googled the spelling of that so I'd get it right)

Since this is a Disney board, though, shouldn't it be spelling Anony-Mouse?

 

[captaincrash]

Since having discovered the MULTI-QUOTE I've begun to lump a bunch of replies together as it leaves me with less mouse clicking and serves to spread the thread a little less (thus inviting more folks to post who otherwise might lurk exclusively)... HOWEVER, I had to reply to your posting here alone as your comments struck home with amazing accuracy ... my replies are imbedded below in RED ...

...hoping all is going well with our lil'miss~ allshookup.

* i was very moved by your heart-warming reflections,
[ i couldn't think of any better proof, there's something special
for those giving us "tears of joy". ]

* i think God gave us a wide range of emotions...not only to discover
happiness throughout our lives, but to cope when negative outcomes
befalls us....pain can be a critical difference to save life~ while
emotional pain, has the motivation factors for redirecting, toward
recovery & better things to be. your "felt" reflections made me
realized there are times feeling depress, is the way to be, in order
to cope with our losses. esp. those sharing and having influences in
our daily lives. i can't tell how much your made me feel
good about my family & their well being. .

I don't care if no one else agrees with me here... but ... WOW.... this is JUST how I feel but I don't know if I could have tied it down in words anywhere near as poetic and or succiently as you put it...



i hope i can do a lil'justice for honoring the gifts & inspirations, you
generously offered us....by reflecting one of my values, ,...
once upon a time, i knew life meant, i would live forever....just like
the fairytales..over time, with family losses, the reality reflected a
different type of belief...

I was in a seriously somber FUNK last year (and somewhat now too) when I felt EXACTLY what you've described above. This came up when I learned several who are close or relatively close to ME had chronic/terminal afflictions....

[to this day, i am not fond of mirrows, esp. the talking ones- ]. ... that i was not as invincible as my desires....& then came the day, finding my self @ the alter....with my lil'miss pretty thing, / , * i can still recall my exact feelings = , "jitters & all-even though for my own good, .

then came the pitty-patty of lil'feet.... all reminders~ life is precious,
and always on borrow . and reading your wonderful coping,
took me back--to the reasons why---"we", [my lil'miss cutie pie] set
in place..the road we hope our children will follow IF we are not there
to guide them...our saferty deposit box, has 10 sets of 10 day tickets-
with our mesaage of hopes & recovery....to honor us by continuing to
seek their happiness.

Again.... I too came to realize (with mild regrets) that I am not as invincible as my desires... and I often think back to those days when I was dating, or at the alter and reception, and a myriad of other pleasnt occasions from the past. AND... as for tiny running feet - yeah - this is an everyday thing 'round here AND just this evening my spouse quipped ... "hear that, here she comes" and it was, of course, the pitter patty of the 3YOs' feet as she ran over to tell us her sister needed help with a computer edutainment program... it was such a heart melting moment which - thank God - we relive daily! And your references to precious life, honor and "reasons why" strike SUCH familiar chords with us... your words ring TRUE with SUCH a familiar tone...

why disney?..why not! i like the orginal concepts, walt intended. while
it may not be prefect in all aspects....in general, the whole are coming
to celebrate their for family. when i see "maw's" families smiling
...by~golly....i feel renew & grateful.


that's why i think family news here is very disney-~like, and sharing
common interests..., yep mary rose's..new gadget, of blending all kinds
of concoctions..had me dreaming ..and this burning ? , did
it come with batteries... .

Shoot... I was just at DL today and several times this day I felt RENEWED in pleasant ways I could not quickly describe - but you have described so well above...


the here & now....i post my observations with some of my favorite
feelings...so others can "see" what i am about. i defintly may not
fit everyone's idea , but that's ok too. i like diversity..cultures & history
majors, ...while i am strong with opinions(effect of aging)~ , i respect differences so i can spend my times- "seeking those sharing my preferences".

wow...i had very lil'expectations posting here, as those may recall, out
to have some fun...was primary motivation. then reading about families,
adventures and interests...is what think is so inviting. i feel privileged
of being in a position for my family "doing" disney cruises & realizing the
reasons why..are from meeting people like yourselves. there are indeeds,
some very special character going with us...causing me>

...that's micmse03, you add your special magic " ", to every important details,


me? out of place...i got to admitt , on formal nights, i may be all dressed up, but it seem so sureal with all those around, fancy & professional looking... i am plain & simple..always will be. but my lil' loves getting all doll up, so i endure. [i rather be in pirate 's clothing].

That's ME ... Mr. Plain and Simple... or at least in my minds' eye that's what I am. I know folks who drive red cars with dancin' stallions and they talk of thier exploits and conduct like it's some kind of rite of passage or momument to their self image... and I think silently it's just another car or these things we are surrounded by are just STUFF... and little more... THAT SAID... if my spouse GAVE me a Ferrari for fathers' day I would drive it for a week grinnin' ear to ear... then I'd ebay it! IF I could get decent value out if it - then whisper sweet thanks before I chastise her for squandering so much of our daughters' legacy...

i thought this had some true value in life:

it was noted by a famous idealist....insanity is repeating the same
behaviors and expecting different results. true. in my world, i see the
primary problem of those living misery, by not chosing to
altered their previous choices. daily, my life are fill with those seeking
new results. i'm so sorry, but the best i can do , is to present alternatives .
after that..they must chose for themselves... if they are to find
their desired outcomes. * since i live more on impulse powers, i
often encorporated those demonstrating sucessful tatics.
i guess...making me a real ?

however, i often make this suggestion..do the things today, you like to
remember tomorrow.

When in the peak of my FUNK last year I began to often quip to folks that "they should simply figure out what makes them happy and try to do more of it"... those have been "MY MANTRA" to so many since finding so many ill who are close to us... I used to quip detailed opinions and advice to the folks I used to spend a lot of time with (the professionals who work with me) and now I've "super simplified" what I am usually willing to seriously talk about with them... some have commented I seemed burned out - and maybe I am - and maybe I've really just awakened from a long pleasant nap...??? Now "I" fear I'm beginning to wax poetic...

not only that explained my desire for participating,
but sorta have me wanting to do more...cruises...thru the good, bad,
and pretty~ugly too, we always seem "packed" with memories of a
lifetime. [ i have no regrets on any of our cruises...hurricanes & all]

in all my expressions, i hope maybe they might be a reminder of all
your good experiences from disney..and the comforts they may bring.

[ iam still missing my dear mother..though she had some hellcat ways
..redhead, you know?]

So... in referencing "good and bad" and hurricanes... may I ask if you've had some trips contorted by hurricanes too? We had our first hurricane disrupted cruise with hurricane Frances and DCL... and although it brought lots of changes and inconveniences - I can't complain with the MEMORIES and "adventurous" experiences it brought... plus DCL did a 1st rate job tending to us... not over the top perfect ... but pretty darn close!

And no... I am not endorsing the on line site or game... it's just a conveninent image suggesting my present thoughts...​

 

[captaincrash]

You shouldn't have said that -- none of us would have known and we all would have assumed you had a fantastic vocabulary.

I'm preety bad at spelling too - and worse - I'm too lazy to look up a lot of words I know I've misspelled!

Edited to add: MY 2500TH POST!

Congrats on #2500 JR............

 

[captaincrash]

Too many Toms.....

I say there are NOT ENOUGH TOMs around here... <chuckles>

Now THAT needs repeating

Yeah AS IF..................we have seen that FF flying......

At least they did not call you the one with the largest pectoral fins...........

Hi fellow shipmates. I spend most my time trying to keep up with all these posts, but am so excited I had to join in.....we're paid in full! Now just need a room number & a switch to early dining (fingers crossed)

We're so happy to finally meet to you here! Welcome aboard... now have a seat ... hold on ... and keep the screaming giggles and perputual grinnin' under control! We're not responsible for any medical bills associated with extreme and excessive chuckles!

Hi everyone!

Hope you all had a nice weekend!

I saw PotC at WE yesterday! WOW!

Chrissie

Arrrr

TAKE WHAT YA CAN!!!​

Or is that sashimi?

more fish... ?

​

 

[captaincrash]

Topics of extreme entertainment, yet little practical usefullness...

I say if it's fun then we're picking up someting far more valuable then the ly practical - we're warming the soul with silent chuckles... how can you assign a price or finite value to that?​

Ok so I was thinking that we need a CHAT signal like the batsignal.........

suggestions will be taken through the rest of the evening at which time there will be voting.......

It may be 4AM but it is technically still the "evening" ... right?

cucumbers?

Vegetable art?

But Brack - who is the high speed internet for? The guests or the employees?

And on that note - I just had to post that within the last 10 minutes - I made my 1000th post on this board. It just so happen to be on my Med thread but since you all know me - I had to come here and say it!

1000th posting!

Amazing - when I first started I thought I'd NEVER EVER hit 1000 post and gosh within the last 4 months - I've more than tripled my original starting post. Can't help but wonder what that says about me.

Same here... tripling (or at least multiplying) my post count...

alas... here's a cheer fer ya on ....

And now I'm turning in... crazy as it may seem... I already know this week is gonna be a good one. Fun plans and my business reports for last week say volume is up a tic...

G' nite / g' mornin' folks!!!​

 

[captaincrash]

Rainy and damp, that's why I woke up a little after 3am and now have my knee wrapped up in the heating pad.

Take it easy Andy... no need to run all over God tarnation today....

No, it's my massive pectorals that are the problem.... <cough, cough>

Again.... same response... <chuckles>

I ...

Congrats on the BIG 25!​

Good morning all.


I woke up and DS has not made it home yet. Boy is he in trouble.

Oh Boy, I wouldn't want to be in his shoes............

I foresee some serious "house cleanin'" on the horizon....

And NOW.... I'm more or less caught up!

I got about 24 or 25 replies squeezed into about 5 postings!

Adios!​

 

[captaincrash]

I had to do one more post so I would have exactly the same number of postings as O'BWV ... 2,257...

<chuckles>​

 

[captaincrash]

OK... now I'm +1
​

 

[Verandah Man]

Ah, I only have about 200 meters to read today, they are all outside readers so it should go quick, just a lot of soggy lawns to walk across..........

Good Morning Everyone!!!

I haven't been around for awhile. I went home to NY two weeks ago and came back sick. Just started to feel better yesterday. Now I have a cold and sore throat! Go figure. I leave again on Friday to fly to Syracuse, NY for my neice Jaclyn's(Reenieny's daughter) high school graduation. Yes my neice who I remember the exact day and time she was born is graduating. Last night was their baccalurate Mass and all of the graduates had to wear their caps and gowns. It was very emotional!!!!! she received her honors ropes. I have several boxes of tissues for the ceremony on Saturday.

I bought a camcorder(Canon D230) and today I am going to Ritz Camera for them to show me how to use it so I can take video of the graduation.

I hope everyone has a great day and talk to you later!!!!

Karen
