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

[Enna]

Unless, of course, you are allergic to Codein! I am, and it must be reasonably common since there is usually a checkbox nowdays for it on medical forms (I used to have to check "Other" and write in it) - However, it seems to be something hospital staff don't think to check. I KNOW it is listed in my record, but they gave me codein after DS7 was born (in a form of tylenol?) and we only found out because I started getting loopy and DH went and asked what was going on.

I can't take that either. Glad to know I'm not alone.

 

[Enna]

Yes, I was on beautifulfabric.com today and did find some nice faux embroidered silk. I'm so glad you know what I'm talking about. I also went to granndgarb.com and picked up some 18th century girls dress patterns that match her gown exactly. I hope people don't think I'm a freak but It's a hobby.

Are you really good with sutures? You don't get carried away doing satin stitches & French knots in people's boo-boos, do you?

Spent most of yesterday on computer booking .......drum roll.........
FREEDOM OF THE SEAS for 3 weeks from now......YEAH!!!!! Anyone wanta go?

Gotta go shower. See ya later.

Good luck with ANGELINA getting her permit..

Funny thing is, Angelina said she really isn't all that interested in driving just yet, but thought it would be a good idea to have her license incase she and Hazel are out, and Hazel doesn't feel like driving home. Hazel had a little fender bender accident the other day, nothing serious, but she is really starting to worry me with her driving, back in June she had totaled our new car, only had it six months at the time.

Hazel was in her 30's before she got her driver's license.

Oh well, got to grab some lunch, be back soon.

Does this count as Food Porn?

That picture gives me the heebie jeebies.

I was impressed, until I realized they were the only mini-ritz crackers.

Hi There Judy

 

[Diznyfan68]

I took that once. My DH got home from work & I was literally bopping around the kitchen. I started talking to him a mile a minute & all he said was, "What are you on? Whatever it is, get rid of it. I want my wife back." Well I was really happy, but apparently a little too happy for his taste. I'm sure I could've gotten a lower dose or something, but I just stopped taking it.

I was like that for about three days and then I was back to normal - just happier.

 

[Enna]

I KNEW Enna was a bad influence.

I resemble that remark...or...well...I did before I enrolled in the WPP.

Are you considering having children? To determine whether you are truly prepared for the experience, we suggest you take this set of simple tests...

MESS TEST:
Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Now rub your hands in the wet flower bed and rub on the walls. Cover the stains with crayons. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer.

TOY TEST:
Obtain a 55-gallon box of Legos. (If Legos are not available, you may substitute roofing tacks or broken bottles). Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream (this could wake a child at night).

GROCERY STORE TEST:
Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them with you as you shop at the grocery store. Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage.

DRESSING TEST:
Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff into a small net bag making sure that all arms stay inside.

FEEDING TEST:
Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water. Suspend from the ceiling with a stout cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal (such as Cheerios) into the mouth of the jug while pretending to be an airplane. Now dump the contents of the jug on the floor.

NIGHT TEST:
Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8 to 12 pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 8:00 PM begin to waltz and hum with the bag until 9:00 PM. Lay down your bag and set your alarm for 10:00 PM. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every song you have ever heard. Make up about a dozen more new ones and sing these too until 4:00 AM. Set alarm for 5:00 AM. Get up and make breakfast. Keep this up for five years. Look cheerful.

PHYSICAL TEST (WOMEN)
Obtain a large beanbag chair and attach it to the front of your clothes. Leave it there for 9 months. Now remove 10% of the beans.

PHYSICAL TEST (MEN):
Go to the nearest drug store. Set your wallet on the counter. Ask the assistant to help himself. Now proceed to the nearest grocery store. Go to HR and arrange for your wages to be directly deposited to the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home and read it quietly for the last time.

FINAL ASSIGNMENT:
Find a couple who already have a small child. Lecture them on how they can improve their discipline, patience, tolerance, toilet training, and child's table manners. Suggest many ways they can improve. Emphasize to them that they should never allow their children to cause havoc. Enjoy this experience. It will be the last time you will have all the answers.

Good Nite Karen...

That would make me have nightmares!

Hi there everyone,
I am way behind on posts but won't have time to play ketchup until later today. But I wanted to see if you all great minds could help me with a game I am trying to put together for our Adult Sunday School class. Mark and I are in the process of putting together a road rally. All that part is done but we are trying to get some games together that we can do after the party. We are going to have about 60 people. We are thinking kind of mini type of scavenger hunt done like they do the Quest on RCCl except this would be a PG version, since it is a church group and I don't think they would appreciate some of the not so PG type of things that happen on the Quest. Any way, they would have to be divided into groups/team probably 4 - 5 team and then they would get points for the 1st team to come up with what ever the request is. They only have what they come in the room with. So, I have things like, 1st man to get to the center of the room wearing ladies shoes, or man wearing lipstick (don't tell them it doesn't need to be on their lips), 1st women to do the chicken dance, Find someone in your group wearing red toe polish. Man who can name our leaders nick name for his wife. .
That sort of thing. Pretty tame but still fun. I was hoping if I threw this out to you all that you might be able to come up with some thing that I can add to this game. That way when I do get to read the posts I might be able to get that game out of the way at the same time.
I also have to come up with a few gag prizes.

Thanks gang. See ya later.

Congrats JR

...oops, i think i missed your comments bucks#1 fan... .

* maybe i go out on limb, but it just the way i think about family
values and any disney trip. i didn't appricated my wife & family
blessings ,say 20 or 10 years ago,,,,it was a learning process.
it was true, that on our first cruise in 99..i was draging my feet
as hard as i could..my wife set all that up, & her family didn't
give her any more support than me. . in the end, we
discovered alot about ourselves that were on agenda...
i remember her parents..we're not going to be stuck baby sitting"
at the end they 're begging for jordan...who knows what we're
all getting into...but i just like to say...everyone being brave in
telling their stories has made this a very interesting and heart-
warming site. for one example, v.man, it did my heart good that
you reported sharing gave you comfort...though my professional
career laced me into similar situations of life and death..it was
nothing compared to experiencing on your family level. i don't
think i could have fill your shoes...the things you gave, at
such a young age. or lisa taking on her school principle, besides
encouraging her, i hope others will do the same...that's why i told
the wal mart story..."it's takes a community to raised children up
where they feel safe and "valued". let's say, i am ver defensive
toward my children. yes, i've been into confrontations including the
courts. but underneath, the same feelings are what driving us to seek
a dcl cruise...the good things. thank you miss judy girl for bringing
us all together....* while most of my comments are humorous, i
think this is going to be the best cruise ever, just from the people
going.

ok, i can't find the author postings "the way we were"....but thank
you..not only true....but sure made me . boy! it bought back
to the one christmas i was lucky enough to have gotten a "cherry"
red -banna bicycle..with a varoom motor?

 

[Diznyfan68]

Hello everyone ...First let me say THANK YOU for all the well wishes , Its great to know in a internet world like this that people can come together and share.

Things went well , and for me was probably one of the hardest things I have had to do in what I consider still my young life ..LOL But I am back home in Vegas after making my peace and do feel that a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I have to be honest , the whole viewing thing was way creepy for me and I really didnt handle that well, but did make it through and couldnt wait to get back to hold my kids. I wish this man would have gotten to get to know his grandkids, but as I said I have made my peace and have forgiven him ...

I will be around a little today I still have MIL in town , but I at least wanted to write and say thank you all for being here and your nice wishes and prayers ...

Welcome home Todd - glad things worked out the way you wanted.

I wanna go but DH won't let me...something about a TOAL to pay for.

 

[Enna]

I just don't recall it costing that much in 1984. My dad wouldn't have paid that much for me to drive, especially when I didn't have a car to drive at the time.

I paid $126 every 6 months for insurance in the late '80s as a secondary driver on my parents' cars. I think it was $400/year in '91 when I was out of college & had my own new car.

This is one of those things that GREATLY varies by state. I got my license in 85 and my folks put me on my own policy in NJ. Good idea as a parent if you have some big assets to lose, like a house. I had a '79 Toyota Corolla and took driver's ed and got a good student discount. It still cost them about $2000 per year. One of the reasons why I won't 'cross the river' back into NJ...what we pay for 3 cars to insure well wouldn't cover the cost of 1 in NJ. No accidents or tickets either.
