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

[brack]

..sorry if this has already been brought up...

did anyone see the ad for "Pirate Master" Mark Burnetts new reality show...starts May 31st!!! I think it ran during "DWTS" last night.

I've seen the previews but it is too early to set up for TiVo.

Thought I'd snag a quick pirate before I shuv off to work, have a nice day all!

Good job too

The dog we have at the moment is our second Jack Russell (our first one died in my arms when she was 17 years old).

They have this compulsion to race around the house to get to the letters that we have posted through our letter box every day and woe betide anything or anyone in their way - I've even tried to explain that the letters are not for them and even if they were, I would happily pass it to them. No, it doesn't matter to them.

Our current Jack Russell is about three years old and she will balistic at anything that passes our house including an ant trying to mind its' own business - I just totally despair.

Here is a photo of her from last Christmas.....

Her name is Eira which is the Welsh word for snow.

Ahhhh David I love your poochie!!!!! I really love her name too!

I've just done a quick calculation and I've worked out that a gallon of petrol (gas) here will cost you roughly $8.55 - no comparison !!!

Ian and Cheryl are still on (at least they were dancing last night and scored 58 points) unless you are giving out a spoiler we don't know about???

NOpe - Andy - no spoiler that I'm aware of - just commented that at the airport I was looking at a cover of some magazine with those 3 dancers but no Ian or Cheryl and I though - OH NO! They got kicked off. Course I should have looked on the inside of the cover to see if it was one of those too large to fit them all on the front. My bad! Hope I didn't bring back luck on - however, assuming from their score last night then this means that Ian got his 10!!!!!!!!! YEAH! I for one can't wait to catch it on the TV tonight. I'm happy for him. (Apolo too but he's too young for me - but a gal can still dream right? ) I'm sure that's what the guys were saying when Stacy Keebler was on a few seasons back!

Sorry - no spoiler!

Laura--It was just announced on ET a few minutes ago that Apolo was celebrating his 25th Birthday backstage after the show last night. Just saw this on the US Olympic website about Apolo:

Height: 5'8
Born: 5/22/1982
Hometown: Seattle, Wash.
Resides: Colorado Springs, Colo.

Even worse for jailbait! I was hoping I could pull off 27 but 25 - thats just too much!

Ok - here is Arlene and her DH along with the sign she made! Arlene - and hubby! Nice folks I tell you - we're all going to have soooo much fun!

great pictures.. thanks for sharing

Hi Tom!

I'm sort of with your DW. I don't really love Home Town Buffet. My DS just loves it however. Sometimes when it's just he and his dad they sneak off there. I think there is something about the endless supply of food that greatly appeals to his crazy teen boy appetite! Just another reason he also loves cruises!!

My boys love Home Town Buffet/ Old Country Buffet too. must be the teenage all you can eat thing..

Je vais tres bein, merci. Et vous?

I'm taking a (brief) break from banging my head off my desk at work and thought I'd pop in. No time for ketchup today, I don't think.

I'm busier than a beaver in a coffee-filled lake at work these days. Pulling out all the stops to try to save our program (and our jobs).

I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Finding a job is no easy task.

Survivor is the only one I watch. DH got me hooked on it a couple of years ago. I don't watch much TV either. Survivor and Sopranos are the only ones I make sure I am sitting in front of the **** tube each week for.

Did anyone catch the Sopranos this week? This last season has been pretty lame, but this week's was the best episode ever, IMO.

ETA; looks like I said a naughty word - so sorry

I am sorry to say I am a reality junkie.

I understand about work. I interviewed for a job a couple of weeks ago (lateral move in same dept) and haven't heard anything. I don't think it was very well thought out.

Hope everything goes well with yours.

Just found out that the school board wants to combine principals at my dd's school and another school. Our principal was going to retire. So instead of giving us a FT principal, they want one form another school to go between schools. Now I don't know what will happen. I guess I will be attending a school board meeting tonight! Woo hoo! The fun never stops!

You and Lisa are have a lot in common.

No, no drive in around here as far as I know. We're still on the lookout for a babysitter. We may have to drive to another part of town for that...I remember seeing sitters advertise on Craigslist.

I love Craigs List to sell things on!!!

Here is the clip!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSXj95yNNTM

I think that they are so great is that they are the young couple on the show & are doing so well. I think that she is 18 & he is 23.

Thanks Lisa!!!!

Cheryl, I think your nasty weather must be heading in our direction, my knees are already giving me the warning signal...............

It is going to get nastier. We got some rain and cold weather for the next couple of days. My back and knees tell me so.

I was ironing last night while watching DWTS. I could decide what was hotter, the iron or Apollo doing the cha-cha-cha. It was steamy.

Who needs a steam iron.

Even worse for jailbait! I was hoping I could pull off 27 but 25 - thats just too much!

We can all dream can't we??? I heard Apollo's partner postponed her engagement indefinitely.

Ok - here is Arlene and her DH along with the sign she made! Arlene - and hubby! Nice folks I tell you - we're all going to have soooo much fun!

Well DCL cancelled our reservations. I am trying my best to get a cabin booked, DCL is going to get so tired of me calling them all the time until I get one They have even taken the wait list off of the suites. If any of you hear about any openings please let me know!

So sorry it didn't work out for you.

Well, I was trying for post 59,001. More of a challenge.

That's the secret to accurate marksmanship. Shoot first, and whatever you hit, call that your target.

Yeah....sure.... call it what you will

Woo hoo! The fun never stops!

Now you did go and give them heck in a handbasket...right? IDK of any principal who can handle everything needed in a single school. Forget about being able to cover 2 schools! Of course, I have to feel for the poor soul who they want to saddle with this responsibility.

My local Target also carries OPI. I cannot for the life of me remember what I have on the toes. Hot-House-Red, if that's a color?

OH GOODY!!!! I will have to stop by Tarjay to see if they have it too.

 

[lbgraves]

Ummm did I totally miss something on DWTS - when did Ian and Cheryl get kicked off? I can't believe I lost a week! I was at the airport on Thursday and saw a cover with Apolo, Joey and Laila but don't remember missing a week!!! Help!

You didn't miss anything. Not sure why he wasn't in the picture. Of course....spoiler alert......









he was voted off tonight.

 

[lbgraves]

So DW is all because I got a speeding ticket the other night. A real ticket this time. I was going 70 but he wrote it for 60 in a 55 zone. $60 fine, 1 point. Not that I case 'cause I don't think NM and CO trade points anyway.

I'm debating whether I should take photos of that stretch of road because there are no speed limit signs from the intersection to where the cop was sitting in the median. The road is twice as wide as the interstate and in just as desolate area. DW says to suck it up and pay the ticket.

Is there any other road around where the speed limit is 70?

 

[lbgraves]

OH, MY

OK, now I get it - thanks for the link

 

[lbgraves]

Also gotta say - while I never cared for the character Steve Sanders - he has begrudgingly won over my admiration. He seems to try so hard I sometimes feel as if they're just being too tough with him. He's do good for not being a dancer. I for one - admire him.

I just happen to have the hots for Apolo more! Lisa I think he's around 27 or so - single or so I've heard. As for that dance, haven't seen the show yet but caught the link on YouTube - they sure don't look like brother and sister anymore!!!!!!!!!
As Carrie Ann said- its hot in here!!!!

As for the Song - Salt-N-Pepa Push it Real Good - one of my favorites and guaranteed to start me dancing in a heartbeat!!!! You should all see me legs pedal on the stairmaster when this comes on!!! (Insert TAZ image here)

I also thought GOOD GRIEF!!! He had a hard time dancing the Rhumba with her & now THIS!

Hi.. before I go off to ketchup on the last 100 or so pages..

I am thinking of adding DDP to our trip this July-August..

So anyone have experence to share with -

Kona Cafe
Wolfgang Puck Cafe
Concourse Steakhouse
OHana
Coral Reef
Boma
Mama Melrose
Le Cellier


Thanks be back soon

While I don't usually like to offer advice on dining since everyone has different tastes, I just have to say....did not see what all the hype is with Boma. I actually didn't like too much on the buffet except maybe the prime rib & potatoes with afritude. I like every other restaurant you mentioned, so you see I'm not THAT picky.
