8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 6

[ChrizJen]

You can skim through the part where we act like rowdy 5 year olds.

That sure was fun, wasn't it???

 

[O'BWV]

OK! I'm fairly caught up.
Just thinking next Friday we will be getting ready for our cruise. I need to mapquest directions, I'm renting a car. I'm in single digits!

Woo Hoo celebrating your single digit dance with you

 

[Enna]

OK - I mentioned Electric Company last night and as usual, not a single response. I'm starting to think my posts are invisible I loved it and my parents still often refer to me as "Easy Reader" because I read just about anything that is in front of me! I've even read the safety rules on the back of the hotel room door

Maybe it is that I often am posting in the late night time frame ... I finally posted photos of 5 of the 6 cats late last night, but I don't think anyone saw them... (if interested it is at http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=17046855&postcount=22677)

Today I discovered the 4-Disk Electric Company DVD collection on Amazon.

I'm going to go look at your cats. Gotta love a Dustbuster.

 

[ChrizJen]

I'm lookin at the weather report for tonight and tomorrow...More snow. Looks like I will NOT be going to Mardi Gras this year!!!
I'll just enjoy my hurricanes here at home!!

 

[Enna]

OK - I said I'd post these later ... its just a LOT later. Here are photos of 5 of our 6 cats. The 6th is extremely shy and I don't have any photos of him - actually, he'd probably go into hiding for a week if I flashed him. These aren't all great pics, since in general cats do NOT like flashes and tend to glare at the camera.

This is Vincent VanGogh. He came from the shelter. When he first arrived is was a horribly cold winter like this one and the tips of his ears had been frost bitten. You can see they have been removed - so that is the reason for his name. He is the only cat we have that LIKES to be photographed. I took this a few months ago when he hopped up on DH's table that was setup for taking Ebay photographs and posed for me!

This is Norman Rockwell. He also came from the shelter. He was dumped there as a kitten along with his littermates and mom. We adopted him when he was 10 months. He is a very happy, laid back cat who thinks he should be given attention 24/7.

This is Dustbuster. HE is a male calico (very rare - it requires an extra chromosome) and came from the shelter. Actually, we adopted him and Norman Rockwell the same day. DS picked out Norman and I fell in love with Dustbuster - normally, I would be a nice mom and let DS choose - but it was MY BIRTHDAY and I really didn't want to give in. DH said, lets get both!

This is Claude Monet. He is one of the 2 small kittens DH took in. The other is Jackson Pollack who is the shy one. Although Claude looks a lot like Norman here, he is actually much smaller.

This is Tuxedo. He is the last 'outdoor cat' to come indoors. He has become a definite Fat Cat and lays around pretty much all day. He will purr if you just come within a few feet of him!

What pretty cats!

Somehow, I figured Tuxedo would look sort of like that.

What kind of cat is the grey one? We always seem to have a puffy grey cat hanging around outside.

My brother in law recently found out he had colon cancer. He is only 51. Well, today he found out that the cancer is contained - he is stage 1! Thank God it hasn't spread! We are unsure what is treatment is going to be but his prognosis looks good. Please feel free to send some prayers and pixie dust our way .

Before his diagnosis I was able to get him and about 13 other family members together for a cruise planned for this upcoming August. We are doing the 4 day and this is his and a few others first cruise. It is going to be all the more meaningful now!

Mary

Oh Mary that is fantastic news! Prayers for your brother's speedy recovery!!

 

[Downrivermama]

Wow, that explains it! I thought my memory was failing me, but I could have sworn my Romper Room lady was quite a bit younger than the one in the picture. Clearly I also had a different RR hostess. I wonder how many there were?

That isn't MY romper room lady????? Someone once told me that they thought it was a locally produced show with similar guidelines. That might explain it.

Not my RR lady either. We got Romper Room on the Canadian CBC station, before there was PBS. Wow! Really dated myself now.

Great news Mary - prayers and pixie dust on their way!

 

[lbgraves]

OK, so this is...as I said before...A day late and a dollar short...
But I got this email yesterday, and with the pet talk yesterday, I thought it was appropriate...well, it was...or it would have been...yesterday. So maybe not so much today, but whatever! read it anyway, dangit!!! It's cute!!!

Excerpts from a Cat's Daily Diary:

Day 683 of my captivity:
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.
In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the floor.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.
I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. The audacity!
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food.
I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.
The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded!
The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.......

for now...

 

[ChrizJen]

OK, I guess I should make a confession.....























My name is Christal, and I am a blanket stealer...

So glad to hear that is was caught early. Hoping that the treatments (whatever they may be) are easily tolerated and successful!

 

[O'BWV]

You so bad!!!!

Yes I am.......... That is what my DIS name stands for:

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

Well, I wish they had more velcro shoes for adults. I used to have these great Avia walking shoes with velcro and they were the most comfortable I ever had.

Without starting a holy war, my DD is a velcro-character wearing girl. We buy shoes we and our daughter can agree on. Too many battles to fight over Disney Princess light-up velcro shoes.

Ditto!
We did have a pair with this lacey type thing as the shoelaces (and no velcro) but the lace shoelaces broke very quickly!

Velcro disney princess light up tennis shoes it is. Atleast one of her pair. It's not like she wears them every day!

 

[Diznyfan68]

Now I know why all you EB Repo guys are not in chat. You are chatting right here . . . OY! Thank GOD I don't have to keep up with THIS thread.

And just an FYI . . . Captain Jack tried to #5,000 on our measly tortoise thread and was THWARTED!

Arghhhhhhhh!

Yeah, the Captain sure tries to get around and loves to steal the pirate!

My name is not Enna, and I have my own blanket.

I love it Lisa! It will make it much easier to know exactly whose b-day it is.

Have you figured out that you can't get to the website yet?

BSA

 

[lbgraves]

That was scary....hate to admit how many times we have come close to this too......

Hey you could have traded her in????

Each of the kids have made my heart stop before. I will have to share those stories one day when I have caught up.

 

[Verandah Man]

Andy were you ever able to pick up another Twice the Magic Baseball Cap? Or better yet, was yours found?

No, mine wasn't found, but a very kind DCL CM heard what happened and had one sent to me.
