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

[micmse2003]

In London there is an extra Charge for driving in central London each day, I think its now £8 per day, you have to pay it on-line or in shops camera's take pictures of all car registration number plates as you drive into the area and if you haven't paid you will have a fine.

It trys to stop private drivers going with cars into London and pays in part to public transport. It runs Monday to Friday 8am to 6.30pm

Wow Andrew Big Brother is watching!!!! Chicago now uses cameras to give tickets for going through red lights. I guess it is really not much different than having a car pool lane too!!!

 

[captaincrash]

I see. Thanks. For safety purposes, please do not send me these in the mail. My postal carrier would not like it. He has been out because of a bad knee and the subs can't even shut my mailbox! Shutter to think what they would do with one of these?

Tom, no flying buttresses?

Flying butts?

It's time to go and pick up our ST from school.

Hazel and I had a nice relaxing day. We went to lunch, at the same place we ate our first meal together, as husband and wife 32 years ago today. The diner hasn't changed much, except it is under a different name. The food is still good and we shared a slice of strawberry cheescake for dessert, then it was time to pick up my paycheck, then did a little shopping for our upcoming trip.

We leave for vacation in 10 days!!!

To all who post, lurk, sail or simply "hang" out here, is an.....

OFFICIAL INVITATION to ALL DIS NEIGHBORS to join in...

the

1st UNOFFICIAL Pre-Cruise Secret Mickey Exchange!

​

Downrivermama (Tina) and I are hosting this FUN little diversion. Please PM one of us with your responses to the 20questions below to particiapte. The deadline to join in shall be OCTOBER 31st - midnite. You shall receive info with your SM beneficiary in the first few days of November. Please note - if your DIS screen name begins with A-M... PM ME.... If your screen name is N-Z then PM Tina at Downrivermama... as we are dividing the work load and logistics so we can participate as well.

This is proposed as a simple FUN game in a familiar vein. Would you like to particiapte in a secret gift exchange and guessing game of sorts? All who particiapte shall be secretly matched up to two DIS neighbors whom they shall either send to or recieve potentially taunting, provocative, thoughtful and/or otherwise curiously meaningful token gifts. The DIS neighbor sending to you is a SECRET MICKEY benefactor for YOU. And YOU in turn shall serve as a SECRET MICKEY benefactor for someone else!

The exchange shall occur TWICE for this game : once on or about Thanksgiving week.... and again at or about the time of Christmas/New Years' Week. The total value of these two items is suggested to be no less than about $25. And the upper limit shall be no more than $100,000. Anyone sending significantly less than $25 in items shall risk endless taunting from your on-line neighbors here <chuckles>.

To help CONCEAL the MYSTERIOUS origin of some Secret Mickey Gifts - TINA and I offer the option of TRANS-SHIPPING your gifts if postage is furnished. IE... ship your girt to us and we will reship it from where we are so your recipient cannot possibly know where it came from. If postage is NOT furnished - then we reserve the right to have a few items dissappear into the DIS abyss (chuckles- we'll bill for deficient postage)

The fun (in part) comes from sending your beneficiary fun and entertaining tokens of appreciation - you are asked to send items to arrive on the two weeks we have selected - however, some of you may choose to exercise a little creativity in pursuit of fun and games.

To sign up, please cut and paste (or quote + copy) these TWENTY questions into a PM for either myself or Downrivermama (Tina)
We will collect them all, match folks randomly, and then give out SM buddy info after October 31st.​

.

Please be as specific as possible in your answers. This will help your Secret Mickey buddy get you the things that you want and/ or use. Please no YES or No answers. These types of answers make it really hard on your buddy. You are free to volunteer extra info if desired. PLUS more than one member of your family may participate if desired.

What about the reveal of the Pre-Cruise Secret Mickey? How and When will that happen?

How on Earth should "I" know...

You mean we're supposed to tell who was what for one another?!

OK, Ask Tina since she just left for the airport and WDW...

<chuckles>​

I assume we'll have a grand unveiling perhaps at a friday nite chat when we have a high majority in attendance. Or so I hope we can engineer an unvealing. OR - on the designated unveiling chat session we can reveal for those pairings who are present. It may sound complicated - but it's not. Cuz we can dream up lots of ways of handling it.

Would you like to volunteer any suggestions? Tina and I remain open to any and all suggestions. But it is safe to assume we will handle it in early or mid January. AND... if we can dream up anything to try that adds to the fun without making it too clumbersome then we'l try it!

I just found the GIRT typo error.​

Yanno (as BIP would say) ... Yann-O, if ya could TELL me where tafind the error I COULD fix it! But Noooooo... ya had ta let me FIND it on my own. <muffled snickerin'> Oh well... I fixed it. Unless there's ANOTHER instance of mistyping GIFT as GIRT somewhere else.

So - may i enquire.. anyone up for a friendly sprint to 79,000? It's only 814 more to go? No? OK... I gotta go "clear my table" anyways.

TTFN!

I understand California is getting lighter cooler winds for the next few days hope it all goes well,

But every silver lining has a cloud, Bush is coming to see you!

All the best.

That depends on each person's opinion. Some people might see it as a hurricane with just a lot of wind!!!

Well I do in fact have a ear infection. Doctor believes it is from surgery something about where the tubes were and draining to prevent this kind of thing. Her only concern was that I was on the strongest antibotic since last week because of my other illness and says I really shouldn't have gotten this. I now have another pill to add to my list and some ear drops.




Andy: Happy Anniversary !

Tina: Have a fantastic trip !



Debi: Congrats on your good news ! I think we all could use a little of bit good news about now. Anymore?


Cheryl: Tried calling few min. ago........yup busy. I took a nap when I got home and will be going to bed early tonight. I also talked with Nate and re-scheduled my interview for Tuesday. All I am going to do is REST !
