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

[captaincrash]

Well I was very specific, this Saturdays UK lottery numbers and they are on, if he is correct 'he is the man' and gets some commission, if he is wrong I sue him under the UK trade descriptions act, say for my lottery loss, thats £4.5m!!

Warning!​

I've had my DIS account identity stolen! SOmeone who was trapped in a Chinese FOrtune Cookie factory has been posting without my permission. Thankfully, I have restored security - but the identity thief has escaped. What's this about liability? Andrew.. just you remember... I am eternally ...

INNOCENT!

CRASH is doing Dancing With the Stars????

I just popped in and saw this one post, and that's the first thing that came to mind...

Yes he has to be on the next series, they now show it in full here on the BBC as it is their own show.

He would be good!

I hear Keria Knightley wants to dance with Crash!

 

[captaincrash]

Andrew...I bet you have Crash really worried now!!!

He will have a 'getout' clause in his small print.


PRESS RELEASE ON DANCING WITH STARS.

Pop star Melanie Brown, better known as Scary Spice, is to compete in the next series of US TV hit Dancing With The Stars, it has been revealed.
The 32-year-old will be joined on the show by British actress Jane Seymour and singer Marie Osmond.

Thanks for listing who is going to be on Dancing with the Stars. I thought I would have to wait til news later tonight. Looks like Captain Crash will have some interesting competition.

Hi Arlene, we made it back in one piece. Well except for my daughters foot. The Dr. explained that she suffered a "terrible injury" and that it would take some time before it heals. The Dr. opines that surgery is not an option at this point due to the potential risks. He put the leg in a hard cast and will evaluate her progress or lack therof every two weks. We are taking her to another ortho surg. that Pete knows on wednesday. Hopefully, he will concur that surgery is not needed and that it will heal on its own. Sorry for the long answer. We are very appreciative of your thoughts. Jack

Jack I hate to here that about your DD. Here is some for her. I hope she is not in too much pain

 

[captaincrash]

If only I were as good with Photoshop as he is, there'd be a picture of he and Miss Keira dancing! Drats.

Ya know...

... all I do is rip an image to my computer off of Google.. then I just open it as a Paint doc - the same simple paint utility as is bundled on any Windows OS machine. Then I save it as a JPEG and upload to my image host - dotphoto. Then from there I post the image. Yes it does take a lot longer then posting a link to a pre-existing image off a google search - but it often is a breezy process.

Oh, I did have an intermediary stage where I used a photo program to rotate an image prior to adding the verbage in paint. but took all of a couple of minutes.... tops.

So now you can try to manipulate an image if you're feelin' adventurous. If not - PM me something ya wanna do and I'll find the samples and walk ou through ... that is ... if I can do what you're interested in doing - and can find the images necessary to achieve thedesired effect. The only thing - once I show you how - ya gotta do a few every now and then! Plus add some "chuckles" at the end of yer posting!

Hi Everyone!

Today, DS8 started 3rd grade - hopefully this will be the year that things click for him and he will feel like he fits in better at school.

Oops - lunch is just about over - need to get back to work!

Pamela (pdarrah)

Pamela, you sure have been busy. I hope DS enjoys the 3rd grade.

The dive was *VERY* cool. We spent an hour on the boat learning how not to kill ourseves, then had two dives at about 50' each. We saw a submarine & Eagle Ray, plus boatloads of fish. I so want to get certified, but DD is only 4 - it's gonna be a while. The upside is that she is a serious water baby. She's learning to float & dog paddle (in her floatie suit). In 2005 (when she was 2) we spent almost 3 hours in a pool in Puerto Vallerta (at the Krystal Resort). When we took her out ('cause her teeth were chattering), she cried & said she wanted to go back into the water. I think we'll try going there again in 2008 (at least for a while).

We did a resort dive the last time we did the Mexican Riviera. We'd taken the excursion to Las Caletas in Puerto Vallarta, and they told us on the boat on the way over there that we could sign up. Since we've snorkeled forever, we thought we'd try it.

Although I did really like it, I still prefer to be in control of my air supply.
Jay found that he can't do it, because he has too much trouble with his ears...but our son was only 12 at the time, and he loved it.

Besides, when it takes 3 people to zip you into a wet suit, you know you're just not meant for it.

I would love to dive at least once.............but I am AFRAID of the BIG fish

OK

Hey everyone. Here I go again trying to ketchup. It's been an up and down past few weeks - months. Part of my trouble catching up is that my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer. I was a bit worried that I would have to cancel this cruise because I couldn't be away that long. Unfortunately, that is not the case. My mom passed away last Friday. I was lucky enough to be with her full time for the last week, which is a big part of the reason I have gotten so far behind.

Now for the good. One year from today I will be celebrating the big 4-0 on this cruise!!! I am really excited for that as I celebrated my birthday a couple years ago on the Magic on the PC cruise then.

Tracy

Tracy I am so sorry about your Mom. It is wonderful that you were able to spend some much needed time with her.

 

[PBader]

Had a great time on the Crown Princess, a 9 day cruise is sooo much better than a 7 day. The little guys (Ian Thomas 7 months) took a few days to get his sea legs, but everyone fushed over him. .

Glad you enjoyed your vacation

Tracy

I am truly sorry to learn of your loss. I was the primary care giver for my Mom when she battled multiple myeloma - a rare form of cancer. So - in some ways I have a sense of what your loss has been like. And then again... I cannot possibly know what your loss was like as well.

At any rate - please accept our familys' sympathy and heart felt condolences.

Tracy, I'm very sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. Please accept my family's deepest sympathy. We'll keep your Mom and your family in our prayers. I'm glad that you were able to spend time with your Mom, as I'm sure it was very comforting for her.

May I humbly offer a somber little Happy Birthday cheer!​

Tracy

So sorry Tracy....

My Dh went through this with his DM 2.5 yrs ago. He was able to stay with her for a week and then came home for a few days. We were going back up to stay again and when we got there....She had just passed.

My dh did get a chance to see her before they unhooked the machines though. (oxygen).

I know it's not easy but hang in there.

 

[captaincrash]

Wayne Newton!

pee-u!!!​

I can't even say what any of his songs are?!?

Is he all THAT BAD?

 

[justmestace]

Obviously, Crash, I do not follow instructions well. Not only are you NOT dancing.....but I think you are waaaay too small:

 

[captaincrash]

Just wanted to let ya'll know that Walmart is putting out Halloween stuff right now and I saw several POTC things on the shelves. Really decent prices too.

Thanks! I'll tell Alicia about it - and I imagine within the hour ( or within 24) she'll be stalking the asiles of our local W-Mart!​

OMG!

I've witnessed the spontaneous birth of a ...

DIS MONSTER!

Not entirely unlike myself...

And to show I'm the sportin' sort ... here is an image you can hack with me dancing in it. I know it's dominated by the kids dancing but this is the best I can offer with short notice. Now - I have ta finish my supper so I can have a little time to run errands before everything closes tonight at 9PM!

Had a great time on the Crown Princess, a 9 day cruise is sooo much better than a 7 day. The little guys (Ian Thomas 7 months) took a few days to get his sea legs, but everyone fushed over him. Too many people on the ship (3100) and sea days were crowded. The food was fair, not up to DCL standards. The one great thing is they have a great no smoking policy and enforce it, twice people walked in our area and they were right on them. I wish DCL was as good, for this reason alone I'd sail with them again. Embarkment was quick and easy, docked at 7am off at 9am, got our luggage and was leaving by limo at 9:35 from Brooklyn and arrived home at 11:45am.

Took out our 700 pictures from Acapulco when we were there in the mid 80's and went through them, brings back a lot of memories. We were high on the hill above the harbor and had servants a cleaning/cook who fixed great meals. We spent three great weeks there. You do not under any conditions go off the main thoroughfares. One of the servants took us for a ride one day and the back streets are patrolled by troops with automatic weapons, he said it was not safe. The flea market is great you must not pay the asking price if something is $9.00 you can get it for $2.

How wonderful!

So - how about a samplin' of those 700 pictures? we're waitin' ... OK? And please don't start about where MY pictures are from our recent exploits - the Hawaii thing a couple of weeks ago or sequoia last week. I'm still recovering from the non-stop driving and todays 1st day of 1st grade for my older daughter! Plus the younger one just moved up today to final stage of pre-school before she considers K-school! OK... I got dinner cookin' and alicia is walkin' the dog while enjoying the early evening with the stroll. ME... I get to escape after dinner is served. Indentureed servitude is not all THAT bad... I get to spend my days in bliss with my dearest best friend of 24 years! Besides - she cooks about half the time too!

Gotta go now before I BURN something - TTFN!

Tracy, I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagining how hard this has been for you. I am glad you were able to be with your mom for her last days. I am sure you have rich memories of your times together.

Also, Happy Birthday.

 

[lxesmom]

We are going on the repo trip in 08 too. Sorry to hear about your loss. My dad is very ill but booked for the trip with us. We are all hoping he will be with us on the trip, but will insist that my mom go with us no matter what. God bless you.
