8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 5

[yargrnhoj]

The recent spam stinks. That is so not cool. Can't believe a fellow cruiser would stoop so low.

The snow is still coming down. Only about 8 inches so far. I'm on the coast, but further inland got clobbered. Supposedly over 1,000 closing and cancellations were reported today. Just heard the sleet whipping against the window. Going to love catching the bus in the morning!

My life stories... mostly boring. Never engaged. Never married. No sick or injured kids. But 6 nieces and nephews usually keep me busy.

<ahhhhh>

Speaking of nieces. My two youngest nieces called tonight to tell them that their daddy gave them a special present for Valentines day. We're all going to Boston on Saturday (Aquarium & Disney on Ice).... and guess how we're going to get there????


AMTRAK!!!!


OK....

Time to read myself a bedtime story and get some sleep.

Bring a plunger, an umbrella and hip-waders, apparently.

Oh Boy, I'm so off the topic here but I just had to share my wonderful Valentine's Day and a happy ending. Sadly, I both my beautiful German Shepherds died suddenly within the last 6 months. The whole family was mourning them. Especially, DGS (Matt) as they were very attached and protective of him.
Well, we checked out the German Shepherd rescue website and Matt & I went today and brought home a lovely, young female Shepherd. We just got back home. Her name is Annie and already she & Matt have bonded.
I told DH forget the flowers this is the best Valentine's gift I could ever want.

Just had to share - now I'll go back and see what I've missed and what you guys are chatting about now.

Oh Congrats on your new Doggie!!!!! Sound like she's a keeper!

And thanks for adopting your dog from a rescue! God Bless you for that! So many shelter animals need homes!

Sorry if I sound like Bob Barker, but it's a cause close to my heart.


Getting off my soapbox now....so what did you name her?

 

[Diznyfan68]

Well I don't have a secret marriage but how about this......


Me & DH bought a townhouse right before we got married. Well it wasn't completed on time. They said it would be ready 2 to 3 weeks after we returned from our honeymoon. So after our honeymoon we each went back to OUR MOTHER'S HOUSES! My DM wouldn't let me spend the night with my legally wedded husband! DH use to call for me at my DM's house and we would commute to work together. Sometimes we didn't even eat dinner togther. Well, you guessed it, two weeks turned into 3 months Finally, my DH drove out to the builders office an explained our delicate situation and through himself on the mercy of the builder. Well being a fellow swabbie, he put all his guys on the job pronto and we were able to move in the very next weekend! I guess I don't have to tell you what that weekend was all about

People can never get over that story! But it's 100% true! My poor DH, how does he put up with it all!

Too funny!

Ok, I need to go to bed. I've 'worked' from home the past two days due to the snow, but I should put in a presence in my office tomorrow even though my (work) boss is in Barcelona.

I'm sure I'll get bored and post a little (or a lot) tomorrow.

Til then, sweet dreams.

Fortunately for us, New Year's is pretty easy to remember. And we've managed to escape most years for that special celebration. For the past few years we've celebrated the 10/19 date on the Magic.

Hey 10/19/79 is our dating anniversary. We celebrate this anniversary more than our wedding anniversary! We're kindred spirits!

When I do tell people the story in her presence, her answer is always "well, I got your attention, didn't I?"

Hmmmm a wench with a knife who uses it............ could be trouble......or alot of fun

That is a wonderful Valentine's story..Thanks for sharing.

I always had German Shepards growing up. I have always wanted one, but DH wants a bulldog and neither of us is willing to compromise at this point (read: he needs to change his mind), so no dog for us.

I don't have much time to post on this thread or even follow it
but I am also joining all of you on this cruise. We have 2 adults, 2 kids 13 and 11 by that time in a cat 6.

I have emailed Lisa our information and wanted to thank her for keeping this list and all the information that I am sure will eventually be there

Welcome Aboard!!!

Glad you are joining us!!!!

OK, starting to feel a little left out here. What is this spam everyone is talking about. I am on Lisa's mailing list and have not received anything but my usual annoying SPAM

 

[O'BWV]

I thought I would jump in before getting caught up with all the posts.

I met my partner for life when we were 16 years old. I was going steady with a guy when I met my true love. We met the day of junior year in high school. We were in a shopping mall just before school started for the year. (now torn down) A mutual friend introduced us. Our eyes locked on each other and that was it!!! I broke up with the other guy and we have been with each other ever since. We have now known each other 44 years and have been married soon to be 39 years. It will be 40 years when we take our cruise.

Now THAT'S romantic!

Was the SPAM directing us to another web site, besides ours? I've just received 2 of them that my SPAM filter didn't catch.

Yes, one that is not allowed to be discussed on the boards so I will be brief. There are some members in our group who belong to both boards. After talking with a couple of them thru pm's and emails I believed that this thread could go on peacefully. I don't want it to become an us vs. them issue. I think that since we are all adults we should be able to exist on a ship for 15 days with different people and participate in a meets thread without it turning into an issue that divides us. I still hope that this is possible. Many of you have contacted me upset about this or thinking that it is a new website for our group. I just wanted to make it clear that this is not the case. If you block the sender in your email account, this should stop the emails from showing up for you.

Welcome to everyone that is joining this cruise. Congrats Captain Crash for the Also I hope everyone is staying safe and warm in this cold spell that most of us are having. Thanks for the warning of the spam's. I didn't go to work today because of the icy mixture. So I'm sure I'll just delete them out.
If anyone is interested, here's my story. My DH didn't get down on one knee either, we were on vacation in Maine visiting my relatives for a family reunion. We were driving to get to my Aunt's house and passed a tuxedo place and I just mentioned that we could rent his tux here and get married as we had already discussed that we wanted to get married. He had said to ask my Aunt what we needed to do. I actually had to ask him if he was serious as I was only joking, Surprise. We arrived at my Aunt's house and DH said don't you have something to ask your Aunt so I asked her. Now everyone else in both of our families knew he was only going to propose while on vacation, we had our wedding in only 3 days. Thank goodness I had my Aunt to arrange a lot of stuff, we got my dress, some flowers, rented tuxes and prepared food. We go back to the hotel room we had and then DH said I might as well give you this (the ring) now since we are getting married. I think it was nice as I had more flowers that I didn't have to pay for as I had a whole potato field in bloom for my pictures.
Now the really strange part of this, he was my brother in law, he had been married to my stepsister although that was 4 years before we started dating. We will be married now for 16 years this July, been with him for 18 years. Wow I feel real old now.

There are two group mailing lists right now. You can't put more than 100 on a list so there is a second list. Not everyone on the first list is getting the spam so this appears to be a random thing.
