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

Arlene I was the highest when I went up. There were still stations selling gasoline for 2.89. I was 3.19 before I rasied. My cost when I raised was 3.1615 when I went to 3.39. 80% of of my gasoline is sold at the pump on credit and 95% of those have interchange/discount fees of 3-3.5%. So the cc companies make a little over 10c per gallon. And we get accused of gouging--we are just trying to make a living. I had no idea you worked at a station. What brand are you?

I could not resist...

Wow Doreen you must be so proud of Jaclyn. Which school did she decide on? Taryn's graduation is June 25th. How about Jaclyn's? I must admit I feeling proud and sad and nostalgic all at the same time. And being in the waiting room tonight with all the Pregos made me downright depressed about how fast time passes.

You my friends whose kids are still young....take time to enjoy each age because it goes so quickly. Now I know we all always hear that, but I'm here to tell you it is the absolute truth. And MR is nothing if not honest!! (don't you just hate it when people refer to themselves in the third person) Seriously though cherish every moment even when they are bustin' your chops and they're on you very last nerve, because before you no it they're leaving you to go off to college. (gee you think I'm having a rough time with this)?

So true MR, It's hard to believe our "baby girl" will be a senior in high school this coming September. Seems just like yesterday that we were bringing her home from Mexico. How time flies.

I've often thought of fighting speeding tickets (although I only rarely get one), but then I figure (a) I was speeding and (b) I speed all the time (>10 mph over the limit is normal) so I figure the police officer earned his money catching me.

I actually have fought a few speeding tickets over the past 27 years and I have always won .... when the officer didn't show up that is. And that occurred about half the time.

I might also add that I used to throw tricks with the officers writing me up - and if I was on the fringe on the county when caught I would ask for the right to appear at the county seat. That would force the court to shift from a local one to the county seat and make it harder for the officer to drive into town to appear for traffic court objectors - like me.

However, as I've grown older I have less time for games like this. Now I just do traffic school and drive a lot more carefully until I can requalify to attend school again. That pattern has kept me out of higher insurance premiums for over a decade. Now I rarely get cited.

Oh yeah... I have successfullly talked my way out of tickets roughly 4 of 5 occasions in the past decade or so. Three times I confessed that I was LOST and needed directions. I made a convincing case of being a sorry traveler to the extent that the officer let me go as an after-thought after giving me directions. And... of hand I can;t recall the drill I sprung on the other occasions when i was pulled over. The last time I was pulled over I was cited - the first time in a while.

So - It's getting way too late... and I got a lotta driving tomorrow so i'm turning in now. I am happy to say I've finally got my encrypted wifi link up and running again - and it's nice. Plus - this weekend will involve a nice family reunion drawing folks from Hawaii and Boston. I'm looking forward to the weekend...


TTFN...

Hi MR

Funny you mention your yearly. I got in the mail today the reminders for all the things we women(wenches) need to be taken care of. I try to get the appts done within a three day time span. Also the monthly fluff and buffing we do to maintain our (natural) beauty!!!

Don't want to go there. Literally, figuratively, ecumenically.

 

[kap158]

Okay Girls strictly for shock value I want to mention that my new Dr. is female, but my last GYNO (the one who delivered my kids) was DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. That just isn't right! Anyone else have a handsome GYNO?



Whatd'ya think of that question guys?

When I first moved here everyone suggested this female gyno who supposedly was the best. Well let me tell you she had the personally of a wet fish! The group that she is in is supposed to be the best in town. What really turned me off about was that after I went for mammo(sorry guys)
they found something and I had surgery within the two week period.

While I was recuperating at home my phone rings and it is this female gyno telling me that there was and issue with the mammo and would like me to back to her office so we could discuss our options. I asked her what do we have to discuss. She said she was going to refer me to a surgeon for surgery. I told her I alreadly had surgery on the issue she was talking about and all she could say was "OH" and all I could say is "OYE VAY"!!! I never went back to her after that. I asked to be transferred to one of the other male Gyn in the practice and let me tell you "HE IS THE BEST". He really takes his time and seems to be bery caring for his patients. He takes all the time needed if you have questions. By the way he is good looking too!!!

Sorry for this soapbox!!!

All I can think of is that one Friends episode where Rachel is hitting on the Ob/Gyn in the hospital and he makes some comment about after being at work all day, the last thing he wants to do is come home and think about work and she gives up.

 

[kap158]

Well, eventually you become maintenance free.

Except for the kids having to polish the urn...

I just got the urn implecation!

CUTE!!!

[kap158]

OK, that's it...JUDY COME BAAAACCCKKKK!!!!!



US Virgin Islands & Marianas Islands

Where is American Samoa? You may be asking. While it is a US territory it is an unorganized territory. Guam, Puerto Rico, US VI & Marianas are the only organized US territories. If you are looking for the unorganized list, it is much longer than 3. I don't know them all, but Midway & Wake Island come to mind.







I prefer vajayjay.

This is OPRAH'S term for it. I laugh everytime she says it and she cracks up everytime she say it.

Found this one in my email this morning, and make me laugh so I thought I'd share. This one is for the wenches.........

A study worth sharing...

A study conducted by UCLA's Department of Psychiatry has revealed that
the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending
on where she is in her menstrual cycle.
For example: If she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged
and masculine features.
However, if she is menstruating, pregnant, or menopausal, she tends to
be more attracted to a man with duct tape over his mouth and a spear
lodged in his chest while he is on fire.
No further studies are expected.

or this one?

Sometimes I wish they'd bring back that whole "eye for an eye" deal!

I agree 100% bring back to the eye for an eye. I heard something about this idiot. I know what I would do with him. The second story didn't hear anything. I just don't understand it. If you have issues with life do it to yourself, don't take it out on little kids that can't even defend themselves. I'm not sure what I would do if someone were to harm our DGD or DGS. Too early to get all fired up.
Oh yeh GOOD MORNING EVERYONE

Last year I needed shoulder surgery to fix the rotator cuff. My ortho surgeon was a very nice guy. OK looking, but very refined. So it's the day of surgery. I am a mess. No food, no coffee, no make-up and in a gown I can barely get to cover me. I am sitting in a pre-op room waiting, when in walks this Nordic god. Hi Kathy, I'm Dr. Blond-Hair-Blue-Eyes-Perfect-Teeth and I'll be assisting Dr. What's-His-Name, with your surgery. Do you have any questions.? I think my Mom kicked me before I could ask if he was single. He's the only guy, to this day, who has seen me topless without having to take me on an expensive vacation.

Methinks she's trying to find justification for getting a Brazilian!

Outside of the love of pain, there is no justification for subjecting one's self to a Brazillian.

 

[tom31b]

Wow I better stop talking about all this stuff or you guys will get the wrong impression!

NAH....you got the right impression!

I'm just trying to figure out if this discussion should be in the thread summary.....

 

[tom31b]

Maybe I'm off (or is that another discussion)... I thought Marshall Islands or Micronesia came under the definition..... (quick check to Wikipedia says "no" they are now independent - since 1990's)

Good call.

 

[tom31b]

makes you wonder where do they get this people.
I like to watch the college kids and then wonder.. great.. our future!!!

I was laughing about as hard as the guy on the show was.....

Picture of Obama - "Who is this?" "Uh, Will Smith?"
Picture of Jon Edwards - "Who is this?" "Uh, George Bush?"
Picture of Kim Jung Il (North Korea) - "Who is this?" "Uh, Jackie Chan?"

Mine is female. Been going to her since she set out her shingle, 14 years now. I get to visit next week. the OB DR at the hospital when I had dd was so cute and very gentle.

Hey Hey Hey what happens in chat STAYS in chat

(and the astronaut diapers stay in chat)


And just for the record, I'll always have more material..........my hemmorroids for instance

Then there are always birthing stories...

Helps keep away the ST's!

Those stories always makes the swabbies squirm

Oh, like they don't have wives or gfs who talk about such things?

HOO - HOO DOCTOR Now that's funny.

You suppose I could get my 18.2V high speed DRILL BLENDER on the ship???

THis would be portable and I could play bartender anywhere and everywhere on the ship... plus everyone with a portable drill like this could bring thiers' along and have thier own portable blender at minimal cost!

<chuckles>

Oh, I wonder if I could get one for my 18v Craftsman drill? Do household repairs and drink at the same time. Well maybe after the job is done!

Don't want to go there. Literally, figuratively, ecumenically.

Very smart man.
