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

of baby sitting. It's amazing how much he's grown and all the new things he can do. I don't think I spent as much time with my own children. Our DD drops him at 8:10 am and stays till 8:30. Eats at 9 (some cereal & a bottle)takes a nap till 11 eats at 12(4ozs of diluted apple juice) at 1 pm he gets bottle) sleep from 2pm to 3 or 3:30. He's such a sweet kid and a really happy disposition. We're thinking if he stays like this may we'll take him for 2 years if we can get someone to fill in when we want to vacation.

We have decided to go to Florida for the winter starting in Jan 2009. I'd like to go to Costa Rico or Mexico but DW is against leaving the USof A. So we'll be hunting for lodgings next year. I think we'll be smarter to buy than rent for three months.

I start physical therapy on my torn rotator cuff. It isn't any fun. Talked with a realtor about selling Mom & Dad's house. Lived there for 27 years, lots of memories.

Flying to Tampa on the 6th to find a place for my uncle who is living in the house now, for some reason he thought I'd let him live there rent free for the rest of his life. The world is such a hard place, at least to him.

Everything I have read says Costa Rica is a very safe place, with a very low security risk.

Good luck on the rotator cuff. I have had several friends go through that and I expect I will have to. I have a sholder that is sore most of the time and sometimes when I reach suddenly above my head it sends a shooting pain through my shoulder. I have been doing shoulder exercises I got from a PT to see if I can strengthen the smaller muscles and avoid the surgery

Mike, are you coming on this cruise??? Just curious.

At this stage I'm planning on coming. I just want to wait and see what room they are going to assign to me. I have listed a preference, but all they will do at this time is give me a "guaranteed" category room.

I have also booked the 5 day cruise immediately after the repositioning. I figured it was a lot cheaper, in the long run, than paying for room res, meals, entertainment, et cetera.

Isn't that Rudolfo Mosca?

Pete, you do know your opera stars. Not just a baker and seamstress.

My DW is away for the day, and I just dropped DD off at work, after the two of us had a nice lunch at Friendly's. Back home now and the only thing I hear is the central air and the ceiling fan, oh what bliss for a few hours. I LOVE my girls dearly, but the quietness is enjoyable for a little while...............

Andy, I don't know what it is like to be in a house without at least one young lady.

Well, Angelina's cat Stefani is here, but she sleeps most of the time, so I guess she really doesn't count............

You wouldn't happen to be a cyclist would you?

Interesting question.

1/ Majorca (Mallorca) was full of proffesional cyclists ( when I say proffesional I know they are not paid but clearly doing it for sport maybe a competition maybe to prepare for the tour de france. ( Quick plug starts in London this year)

2/ My Dad was what I would call a proffesional cyclist, not paid but won many races, I wish I was as good as he was.

Majorca has wonderful cycle lanes not the token guesture of London painting over exisitng roads but actual cycle lanes and well used.

It was the use of the term "single track" and "dirt tracki" that prompted the question.

I see,

Tried to discribe the road,

Its funny the road goes from two lanes to one lane, then after miles to a dirt track, through a villa property, (yes swimming pool one side, a gate, and on the other side the property, then the notes says, '' the road gets bumpy'' keep going for another mile up a mountain side.

After doing the sound of music and using the horn to get the goats sheep, and odd mountain hiker from everest out of the way, you find the villa.

The brochure says ''set in a peaceful location'',

Evening all !!

The sea-mist finally lifted early this afternoon and we have had a beautiful day.

Welcome back Andrew, glad you had a good holiday in Majorca; the weather here in the UK has been terrible with constant rain last weekend (typical Bank Holiday).

Thanks I thought I would leave the country with the weather being so bad for the bank holiday.

The bad weather is almost a dead-cert isn't it? We even went to Ikea in Milton Keynes on Sunday to try and avoid it but that didn't work either.

OK... I gotta go now. K and P-school reg for Chinese school starts in 2 hours - I need to be among the first in line to enroll the kids. TTFN!

Sounds like a lot of fun! Oldest dd had a friend that went to Chinese school on Saturday mornings.

 

[Stepht5]

My tags gone all multi coloured

COOL! And your trip sounds wonderful! I'm glad y'all had a good time!

 

[O'BWV]

Or sure, he does MATH and you like him. I even mention the word MATH and you yell at me. I think I shall say, in my best Smothers Brothers' imitation. "You always liked him best".

Ahhhhh JR don't feel like that! I hate all the Math, you know that......but I don't want anyone criticizing one of our own


And guess what JR??? I improved my vocabulary greatly in chat last night, didn't I PEEPS??

 

[eeyorelvr10]

Well...

I'm not done yet...

The total hours from the start of the thread til a 5PM embarkation are 13,562.35. We've had 3,321 elapse since last nite at 11:39PM which means 0.2448690676763245307782205886148 of the time has passed already. And conversely 0.7551309323236754692217794113852 remain ahead of us. That's a multiple of approximately 3.0838151159289370671484492622704 times for the time ahead of us as behind. SO we can multiply the number of postings each INDIVIDUAL has currently to ESTIMATE the number of postings each person MIGHT have when we embark.

Of course, this does not take into consideration The varariable intensity of enthusiasm each person has had (or will generate) - nor the time they've had since joining the thread and so on. It is merely an estimate based on the AVERAGE activity that has been input over the first QUARTER of the threads' life.

Below I've factored this multiplier (4.0838151159289370671484492622704x) on the individual tallies of the first few DIS folks (30) ....

lbgraves 4,862 = 19,855E
Diznyfan68 3,470 = 14,170E
Verandah Man 3,366 = 13,746E
captaincrash 2,226 = 9,090E
O'BWV 2,199 = 8,980E
Andrew DEREK UK 2,192 = 8,951E
yargrnhoj 2,174 = 8,878E
PBader 2,001 = 8,171E
DisneyVegas1 1,718 = 7,016E
justmestace 1,696 = 6,926E​

windermerejudy 1,692 = 6,910E
Enna 1,622 = 6,624E
pyramid2000 1,548 = 6,322E
got2travel 1,417 = 5,787E
BibbidyBobbidyBoo 1,310 = 5,350E
sk8ingmom 1,299 = 5,305E
allshookup 1,288 = 5,260E
brack 1,235 = 5,044E
darthrugby 1,109 = 4,529E
jonesing 968 = 3,953E
DindelsPA 957 = 3,908E
tom31b 934 = 3,814E
disneypilots 915 = 3,737E
buckifan 846 = 3,455E
magiroux 811 = 3,312E
JLDSMD 775 = 3,165E
ChrizJen 714 = 2,916E
bellelinus 702 = 2,867E
micmse2003 681 = 2,781E
The FairyGodmother 673 = 2,748E


Now... if we were to apply this multiplier to the number of PIRATE POST captures....

.... it would be UNACCEPTABLE! So I say... Swabbies (and Captain)....

TAKE WHAT YA CAN!!!!!

... and now I'm off the sign up my kids for swim team and Chinese School, then I'll be back to pick up one daughter for her birthday party (not hers), and my spouse will be taking the other daughter to her P-school art show...

And yes... I understand I may have a "DIS problem"....

... and I should seek counseling... problem is I might get counseling from Lil' Grumpy, our resident counselor!!!​

TOM!!! THIS REQUIRES A MATH ALERT!!! Its Saturday for God's sake - NO MATH!

 

[O'BWV]

Well I'm back from the dentist. I had a deep root scaling done. UGH! I think I prefer the Gyno!

Tonight we are going to a Texas Hold 'Em Cancer Fundraiser. Our nephew
(15) who is in remission from leukemia is raising money for Childhood Cancer. What a brave and inspirational kid he is. We haven't been able to see him for a while and we are exciting to visit with him tonight!
