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

[captaincrash]

We actually covered that a month ago when my dog died.

Topics for tomorrow:

bunnies
puppies
Mickey Bars
Blenders (DO NOT combine with bunnies & puppies, Mickey Bars are OK)

Bunnies and puppies, eh?...

<gotta go now...>​

 

[sk8ingmom]

Okay...probably shouldn't tell.....first car....I was 16....1974.....I drove a 1974 Corvette Singray convertable.

Second car.....1977 Camaro Type LT, completely color-coded, aqua metallic....gorgeous.

Spoiled much?

Can you imagine what the insurance would be for that today?

 

[allshookup]

House Hunters Florida is on so I'm gonna go hit the hay & watch it! Nite all!!!

 

[sk8ingmom]

I'm going to bed now.
G'night.

Bunnies, huh? You asked for it!

The kids had a bunny rabbit that they got for Easter. Her name was Esther Bunny.

We had the coolest rabbit hutch. It had a self-waterer, a nice little place to sleep, plenty of room to hop around in. I think Esther was very happy.

We also had a big dog. His name was Wrangler and he was part Golden Retriever and part Australian Shepherd.

One day, I came home from work, and apparently, someone had left Esther's cage open. Somewhere along the line, she and Wrangler met up.

Wrangler was sitting on our front porch, waiting to show me what he had "found". He had that "look, Mommy, I found you a cute little bunny" look on his face. He was so proud.

I called Jay at work and said "What should I do? I have to get rid of her body before Megan gets home from school!" Other DD was too little to know what had happened.

Well, we live on 5 acres....and have a huge, deep canyon out back. So Jay suggested that I simply "toss" Esther off the canyon. Not knowing what else to do, and unable to dig a hole in our rocky ground, that's what I did.
Not ten minutes later, Wrangler was back on the porch with Esther.
Once again, I chucked her down the canyon. We went through this new game of "fetch the bunny" about four times before Wrangler really got his feelings hurt that I was refusing the offer of his generous gift. The last time, he decided he'd bury her himself. He was digging a grand hole in my rose bushes.
Finally, Esther went into a box, in the garage, to await a proper burial when DH got home.



Aren't you sorry you wanted bunny stories?

 

[justmestace]

Spoiled much?

Can you imagine what the insurance would be for that today?

My Dad was in the insurance business, or it never would have happened.

We're lucky now because Jay has a 1959 Chevy pickup truck, so that's the vehicle that we added the girls onto. It only cost us an extra $100 or so a year to do that. I told him he can't ever sell the '59, until after DS is married and gone.

 

[justmestace]

I'm outta here now too. Good night!


GOOD MORNING EARLY RISERS!!!

 

[captaincrash]

Crash I don't have a prayer against you! Owe you a drink! Love the cartoon BTW! Although I did have the "facts"...yours WAS much cuter!

Thanks for the drink offer - I'll pass in favor of a Mickey Bar <muted snickers> on the ship. Ya kno... the price is always right that way!

My spouse is managing the bath. The snowfall on the I-5 pass at Gorman was not enough to close the highway all day so she made it home today. Of course, this reverses her schedule and she will be away tomorrow and we are not going to join her tomorrow - unless we discuss it and we decide I will drive out.

At any rate... I'm gonna glance back here locally then flip back about a 100 posts or so where I left off. Since so many folks have stepped forward saying they've read everything - I have decided to recommitt to the idea of trying to keep up - and eventually read backwards to cover EVERYTHING. Is that even humanly possible stepping up now to the task? My only gripe in doing so is I have read about 2/3rds to 3/4s of everthing. SO if I go back all the way I'll be rereading a lot. Arrrgh!

 

[jonesing]

We make our own at work, not the one in the jar. All that has is Zinc oxide. The stuff that we make is Desitin (sticks to the butt better), hydrocortisone and nystatin. Actually there are some 20 different Butt past recipes.

Yep, we found that out when we were traveling in the South and had to get another tube at Walgreen's. BIG PROBLEM!!!! First we had to find a pharmacy that could compound the stuff in the first place; we eventually found a Walgreen's that could. Next problem was the prescription transfer because the originating pharmacy didn't specify the formulation for our specific compound. And since the original store wasn't 24 hours, there was no way of calling for the formula So, we had to resort to a regular brand.

That's a cute bunny story....

... I bought my spouse a couple of bunnies in the last 22 years we've been "together"... and her brother donated a drawf bunny to us too. Nothing so glamorous as having bunnies on a 5 acre ranch with a fun lovin' Wrangler (chuckles) - but that's the extent of our history with Bunnies.

 

[captaincrash]

Got an Idea everyone agree to go away for a week, and no posts! Then come back and post what we all did!

Should we tell Captain Crash, or leave him to it to get us to the next '000. and then go....
BOO...............

So....

... Andrew, Diane, I'll bet you two thought I wouldn't see that - did ya'? It's a mutuny in the making as far as I can see... remember I have the keys to the google armory!

 

[Friend_of_Piglet]

Good evening,nite or morning all

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....

As I run off, cowering in a corner.

Vanilla

Vanilla!!!

As an only child I have been both...often at the same time!

I was an only child also and I agree..

We call them jimmies in our neck of the woods, other areas call them sprinkles. Whatever floats your boat!!!

Jimmies people, they are Jimmies!

Groundhogs day.

My first car was a 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham - it was black with red pinstriping. The trunk was held on with duct tape.

My first car was a 1985 Nissan Sentra. Which I got in 1995. It was a redish color with gray interior. Every time you'd stop at a light it would shake as if it was having a seizure. Really really embarrassing.

 

[Friend_of_Piglet]

Hows 3 minutes for a speedy reply?

< chuckles >​

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

I think they make pans to put under them so that the obvious distaster doesn't occur.

Drip.

Drip.

Drip.

BIP starts having dreams of Chinese Water torture...

Drip.

Drip.

I'm less worried about dripping and more worried what if it leaks and before we notice any dripping it soaks the ceiling there and they FALL ON US WHILE WE'RE IN BED!
Now that's something that will keep me from sleeping. Like I need help, my insomniac self.

Um, let's just call this the funny story about the DOG, instead of the bunny. 'k?

 

[captaincrash]

(I am not a troublemaker, I am an instigator)

That remains to seen. We have not seen you yet.

Nope.........I'm an agitator !!!!! I Don't cause or start trouble......mearly move it around a bit !!

Mark

An "instagator" and "agitator" eh?

We have ways of dealing with your sort 'round here...

... and I'm NOT takin' about playing patty-cake either...

< chuckles >

So I'm only catchin' up pn posings from 12 noon at 11:40PM.... not bad eh?​

Your very first experience at Disneyland / WDW
A description of the best possible cruise day
Funny stories about your favorite pet
Funny stories about your sibling(s) / childhood
If you won the lottery - what would you do with it?

Your very first experience at Disneyland / WDW: I visited Disneyland when I was 12 years old. This was in 1972 when the flip flops with the 1" thick soles were popular. I was a country girl and usually wore oxfords or keds. My mother let me buy the flip flops and wear them to the park. I have the most tender feet in the world. I had blisters before we got to the gate. I got admonished by CMs all day and all night because I kept taking them off and walking bare foot. The pain of wearing those flip flops is my most vivid Disneyland memory. It took me until I was 45 years old to buy another pair of flip flops.

A description of the best possible cruise day: Sleep-in until I don't want to lay in bed any longer. Dress in shorts and t-shirt (tie dye of course). Head up to Topsiders for some fresh fruit and yogurt....fresh blueberries, rasberries, and strawberies (they ran out of fresh fruit on the repo). Do 10 laps on deck 4. Watch a movie in the theater with my boys. Solve some Sudoku puzzles on my balcony. Have dinner at Palos. Watch "Twice Charmed" again. See some adult comedy at Rockin' Bar D and laugh so hard I need Depends. Watch the stars from our balcony and solve a few more Sudoku puzzles (hard ones). Spoon with my husband until I fall asleep.

Funny stories about your favorite pet: We had siamese cats when I was growing up. A boy and a girl. It was the early 70's. Their names were Sonny and Cher. Cher had a litter of kittens (her second litter, 2 or 3 kittens) and my mother had the brilliant idea that she would flush them down the toilet to avoid the trauma us kids had when we had to give the first litter away. The kittens were just days old. Anyway, she tried and couldn't do it; and so she cleaned the kittens up and put them back in the box with Cher. The kitten she tried to drown ended up living for 12+ years. We got Cher fixed soon after the attempted drowning. You do remember I mentioned my mom was addicted to pain medications right? She wasn't always "right" in the head.

Funny stories about your sibling(s) / childhood: There weren't very many...but I'll try. I was one of five kids. We were all healthy eaters. My father had us all convinced that the best parts of the chicken were the back and the neck. I remember a plate of chicken being presented at the table and we'd all (well maybe just me and my little sister), would reach for the backs and necks while my Dad would eat the breast and leg pieces. I didn't figure that out until I was out of college.

If you won the lottery - what would you do with it? Well, let's just say it was a "big" lottery...like five million dollars. Take home about three million after taxes. We'd take care of us first....pay off mortage and add to the two college funds. We'd buy long term care insurance for me and my spouse so my kids will never have to worry about taking care of us...I'm taking care of my mom now and never want my sons to have to deal with it. That leaves about 2.5 million. I would give my siblings (3 left) and my DH's siblings (2) money to pay off their mortages and for their kids educations. That leaves about 1.5 million. I would take half of that and invest it. I would take the other half and give to several charities. I might have to splurge on some cool vacations...Galapagos Islands and Australia and Hawaii. I might build an addition on our house for a third bay in the garage and offices for my DH and myself (we both work from home now). See the view from my window in signature below....

at the attempted kitten flushing/drowning!

Gosh your answer is almost identical to what mine would be on the lottery thing. Ofcourse I'd have to PLAY to win, but let's say I did play and I did win... I'd do the same as you. I'd have lots left over though because we don't have as many siblings- do have lots of nieces/nephews though so that education thing would probably make the mortgages a wash, compared to your list. I don't know about Galapagos Islands but definitely do some travelling and that would definitely include Australia, Hawaii and Alaska- atleast. Lots more Disney cruises (and I wouldn't call them trips of a lifetime anymore! LOL)


Your very first experience at Disneyland / WDW -- my first experience for either was at DL when I was just barely 28yrs old... and about 8mo pregnant with my son. I was there alone on business and decided I HAD to go to DL. I had wanted to go to DL or WDW my entire life- so I wasn't passing up that opportunity. However, now in hindsight... kind of a waste of money but I'm still glad I went. I went for only a few hours, walking around HUGELY pregnant (and I do mean huge... I had too much fluids with all my pregnancies- the kind where when I was only 4-5mo everyone swore I was having triplets...) and I didn't ride a thing, just walked around for a couple of hours looking at stuff. I didn't even have a camera to take pictures!

Our first experience at WDW was as a family and we drove (never do that again! took up too much of our time driving there and back- we're in Texas, we're a family of 5 and our kids ages at the time were 2, 4 and 8= not fun to drive over 24hrs there and back!) We had some issues with where we'd booked to stay (condo thru Hotels.com, never ever use them btw- they took our money and had overbooked and we had trouble finding a place to stay on CHRISTMAS EVE!) but eventually we found a sub-par place (for expensive price we'd paid) and our very first day at WDW was at Magic Kingdom on Christmas Day. Can you say glutton for punishment? Well we didn't know better. LOL We didn't even find this board until after we'd got back from that trip -a few days after! I didn't know better and thought MK was packed like that every day all the time - can you imagine? It was a great spur of the moment trip though... but thru that trip and later thru this board we learned how to do things MUCH better and MUCH cheaper!

A description of the best possible cruise day -- wow that's a tough one... so many different ways to go with that one! How about I just make it easy and say the best possible cruise day would be one that time stood still and that day just kept going and going (or repeating, whichever LOL)

Funny stories about your favorite pet -- I don't know that I have any funny ones. I must be too old to remember any funny stories from childhood pets and Tramp isn't that funny... he's smart as a whip and wouldn't trade him for NOTHING, but funny? Hmmm... well he just doesn't do silly things to make me laugh, he's like a fluffy white person with 4 legs that has a tail. KWIM? The funniest thing I can think of isn't all that unique- our parakeet Kokomo cracks us up when she does the head bobbing thing when she's excited/happy. *shrugs*

Funny stories about your sibling(s) / childhood--- my childhood was anything but funny. I honestly can't think of any funny stories about my siblings or childhood.

If you won the lottery - what would you do with it? ---already said above

Good Morning Crew

Happy Thursday March 1, 2007, Spring arrives this month!!!
