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

And don't forget cake....you like cake, too.

Yes, cake is good.

Hmm....that will make the "Bring a Bottle of your Local Area wine for a Wine & Cheese Party" party a bit more complicated.

If anyone is still interested in a Wine & Cheese party, I bet we could do one by picking 2-3 varieties of wine & asking each participant to bring a bottle. Then we could compare the different vinyard's interpretations of each varietal.

The liquid ban is a bit of a bother, but we would definately be interested in participating and helping out organise. Sign me up!

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!!!! ​

Now I don't expect him to spend it with his soon-to-be ex-wife, that's understandable...but he has a 6-year old son (of whom he currently has full custody!!!!) And he dumps his poor son off with whatever relative is available when he wants to make these treks to KC...It just makes me sad for that little boy. He's already going through a lot with his parents in the middle of a nasty divorce...

Your boss sounds like a real winner

So has anyone done the math recently with posts? (as in how many are we slated to have by cruise time?) What's our daily average lately? Looks like we may be close to 1,000 daily...But I could be wrong...Anyone have that # handy? If so, I can figure it up really quickly. Oh, well! Let's just say we'll have A LOT by cruise time! (How many hundreds of thousands? I dunno... )

Depends on how you want to look at it.

There are 550 days until 8/17/08 (365 to 2/14/08, 15 Feb, 31 Mar, 30 Apr, 31 May, 30 Jun, 31 Jul, 17 Aug).

If you go by the 1,000 posts we are averaging per day, we will top 570,000.

If you figure we did 20,000 in 31 days, then we would end up with around 375,000.

Just had to share this with you. A DFriend of mine e mailed me this.

WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST
She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.
Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.
Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week.
Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.


UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I'm not going to understand women.
I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and STILL be afraid of a spider.



WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."

Hey, they were really funny! Thanks I needed that!

Now we could start a pool on that number. $1 each for the number of DISers we have would be a pretty nice pot.

But then again, we'd start seeing a lot of manipulation to get that number to a certain point.

[O'BWV]

Well I didn't go to work today after all....Aw shucks....can't you see how upset I am about that

We lost power for about a 1/2 earlier, and I thought I was going to have to bundle up my flu patient and head to my Mother's. Luckily just when I thought I had to go that the lights and HEAT came back on Anyway, they sent everyone home from my office at 12:30 which is why I didn't want to make the trip.....45 mins over, 2 hours work, 45 mins. back. It seemed like a waste.


I probably should have gone to set an example as I work in HR........but I'm a bad girl.........

 

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

We're already at capacity for a non-suite stateroom. We can't add another child before cruise time.

It's coming down like crazy out there - I can barely see across the street!

That's just a crazy amount of posts! Watch, when we all finally meet in person, we'll have nothing to say to one another...........FAT CHANCE!

YA THINK??? What gave you your first clue. The Fluff? maybe.

Not us, we are a very reserved group of pirates. NOT!!!!

 

[captaincrash]

Had to go grab lunch, and now I'm back...And I'll be here for most of the rest of the day!

For those of you who followed my dilemma from last week...guess where my boss went for Valentine's Day???
Kansas City!

Now I don't expect him to spend it with his soon-to-be ex-wife, that's understandable...but he has a 6-year old son (of whom he currently has full custody!!!!) And he dumps his poor son off with whatever relative is available when he wants to make these treks to KC...It just makes me sad for that little boy. He's already going through a lot with his parents in the middle of a nasty divorce...

Anyhow, off my soapbox...so the good part for me is that my boss isn't here...and I'm all caught up on work, so I can PLAY!!!

Oh well...

It just doesn't seem to end...

In all fairness though... who really knows what is going on?

Maybe there is a lot og good coming from this somehow which is not obvious to us?

I know of couples who seperated when one spouse became involved with narcotics... it seemed obvious that this - combined with other circumstances "justified" the initiative taken by one of the two to move for seperation and devorce.

I imagine there can be all sorts of extenuating circumstances that make it right. FOr the folks involved - at least one of the pair must feel compelled.

My personal experiences are limited to a circumstance where I feel it was unjustified and for all the wrong reasons.

The only thing I think about when the topic of conversation turns this way is the comment that one of my spouses' girlfriends made ....

".... if Lorena Bobbit were serious she should have used a blender..."

Yeowch!!!!!

​

 

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

And you will drink it by the galloon on PC day!

I was thinking that!!!! - from some of the things you have warned us about...theheat and all!!

 

[sk8ingmom]

NOT A CHANCE!

(for either suggestion)

 

[ChrizJen]

Yeah...

Oh, and I also forgot to add (in case it wasn't already bad enough) that he asked if he could use MY credit card to order jewelry for his "girlfriend", and he would give me cash!!!!
(Because he didn't want the lawyers to see on his credit card statement that he ordered jewelry from Tiffany's. )

Needless to say, I promptly replied "NO!".

Half of our department (we're HR) call edoff today. Many were talking yesterday that if we got the snow they wouldn't be in. If I had more time i won't be here either!

Picture it - we're all sitting around with laptops typing out our responses to each other!
