8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 15

[captaincrash]

Sorry I had to dive out of chat suddenly today. I just realised how late it was getting and I had a few chores I needed to do before it got dark.

We are having a really busy time at the moment as my inlaws are separating so we are helping them pack boxes as they have sold their house and need to be out by the 3rd August. Things should start to settle a bit after that.

Hope to catch you all next week!

May I offer our supportive thoughts on the difficulties your expanded family is going through. Times like this are sometimes foggy and sad - as I have felt when we saw things like this happen - so - we just wanted to say we understand and hope forthe best for you and your loved ones.

So are gonna organize a source for fish? How about a contest for best of several catagoriesof Fish on the ship? And ... how about other fish related ideas?

And are we gonna stage embarked working committee meetings? IE... blender parties open to staff members and "volunteers" (IE - anyone else who wants to party?).

I've never done this before - but have been on a sailing with an active DIS community supporting activities - some FISH related.

Happy Friday Everyone!!!!

What a week this has been!!! HOT!HOT!HOT Last night we had winds up to 50 mph and there are abount 20,000 people still without power. We needed the rain.

Have been reading but not writing I have had a bad week health wise. Spent all day Monday in the Dr's office and he spend over well over an hour with me. He is a very caring Dr. Being in the medical field this is really rare when all the higher ups are looking for volume. I have worked in Labor and D elivery and in medical offices for over 25 yrs. and you don't see this too often. I have to go back on Monday am and hopefully see what is going on. Sorry for going off subject.

Karen....

.... we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Having had so many (so it seems) of our old friends fall ill to one thing or another in recent years has shocked me into realizing we are NOT all as young and seemingly invincible as I used to feel. Not that I'm scared ofr my health - just that we're all in the same boat - if you get my drift?

That is.... we're all IN the same boat in more ways then ONE! ​

I'm glad I'm not the only one! LOL! Several of our children are also gamers. Our oldest and a friend drove to NC a couple of yrs ago to vist some of his & dh's online gamer friends! LOL!

Right this minute dh is on the computer next to mine playing COV and I think 9ds (Elvis) is either playing with him or playing COH on the computer on the other side of DH.....

9ds has a show tonight so, he is getting in some *play time* with his dad now -- most nights for the past 6 wks he's either had a show or rehearsals every night (except Sundays....)

DH wants y'all to know that they also have WOW accounts. ANd would love to play with a Diser or two....

I'll let Kevin know. I haven't the fainest idea what you're talking about but...

 

[captaincrash]

Crash - we are so happy to have you in our group!!!

Karen

Karen,

.... you're too kind. I'm just out to have a few chuckles - and here seems as convenient a place as any for me to say your simple understated compliments are humbly appreciated. I wonder if any think of me as more than just the clowning around sort ... sometimes. I'll be sure to tell my parole officer I've been recognized as a decent sort again! <chuckles> And NO.... I don't have a parole officer - for those who pause to reflect a little more then they should on my remarks...

< stern chuckling >​

Now I have to step out to run a few errands in preparation for this evenings poolside dinner party - and I gotta finish my stuff before my daughters' first BALLET class at 3PM. So much stuff to do - and now I find myself thinking I gotta get going again....

Adios - and TTFN!

 

[captaincrash]

I'll let Kevin know. I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about but...

"BOOM BABY"​

I glanced up and saw your comments and started chuckling out loud... and my spouse just quipped "Hey! What's Soooo FunnY???"...

I gotta go now.... TTFN !​

 

[Stepht5]

OK Stephanie....

... fess up... what did you edit out?​

LOL! Nothing that interesting! My post wasn't posting (or at least I couldn't see it) and I was just reposting! LOL! Then they both seemed to show up at the same time! ​

 

[Stepht5]

I'll let Kevin know. I haven't the fainest idea what you're talking about but...

If it wasn't for the fact that my computer sits between their 4 computers (2 to my riight and 2 to my left) and they talk WAY TOO MUCH I wouldn't know half the stuff I know!
Of course our 16dd thinks it is funny that I can talk games to people more then she can --- I am usually pretty good at meaningless small talk! I am the only one that nevr plays any games -- I do like solitare.......
We have tons of video game systems too and have for 22yrs (when Nintendo first came out...) and the only game system I seem to like is the Wii..... It's funny though...6dd won't let me play! LOL! Whenever anyonehands me one of the controller sticks (to bowl, tennis, whatever) she starts yelling *Mom hates to play video games. She can't play with us!* It cracks the older kids (27 & almost 24) up!!!

Oh, I hope she has fun!!! 16dd took Ballet for 10yrs -- she just quit this past Dec....The only reason she stopped was because her scoliosis caused her so much back pain while dancing. It was becoming way too much like work and less like fun!
Oldest dd (almost 24) loved tap & jazz....hated Ballet! 6dd also hates ballet.... They will tell you the same thing *It's too quiet and boring*

Sure, Crash, you are now IN CHARGE of everything you suggested!

The closest I come to any "games" is online Hangman on the Pogo site! Kev and I have no kids so you'll find no Xboxes,Nintendos,Wii, Ipods,Bluetooths,etc. in our house. Hell, I still have all of our LPs!

Kev plays "Hero" with a group of his buddies, not any online games. They've been off for the summer but normally get together every other week or so.

I think it's nap time

Thank you Crash and to others that have posted their warm wishes (I don't know how to multiquote sorry).

It is a very difficult time and emotional too. They have been married for 38ish years so its very hard for everyone. They split about a year ago and have been dithering over how to move on but have now managed to sell their house so are finally going their separate ways. My MIL has bought a new place and moves in on the 10th August. My FIL has decided to move to the north island as he has never much felt at home here as he prefers a larger city.

I think once the house thing has been done it will be easier for everyone to start new lives or just move on. I'm just doing what I can to help and acting as a peace keeper or staying low.

Luckily I get on very well with both my inlaws so that helps but I'd like it to stay that way
