8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 9

[darthrugby]

So YOU are the one who isn't sharing spring with the rest of us! Give it up Stace! Share the warmth.

At least it is snowing here. That's a good sign. It has been too cold to snow here for the last 3 weeks. I like snow. ...and we leave for Maui in 197 hours and 28 minutes...



There you go, right to the important part!
I have to tell you, DH doing his own obsessive cruise planning. He brought Rugby for Dummies home last night! Saw it in someones office at work and asked to borrow it!

Wench fluffing.

That's funny. I have that book. It's actually very good. That's all you need to know.

BIP -

I know what it is like to not know & all the panic that goes along with it. You know you can lean on the people here all that you need to, but we will also respect your space if that is what you need.

Here is some pixie dust and some non-salty cake

and a fireman (just because).

.... While we may not all join hands on deck 10 singing Kumbaya on the cruise ......

I was really looking forward to this activity too.

 

[micmse2003]

It's going to be in the 20's and 30's this week. We'll "spring ahead" with the clocks this Saturday and then next week it will be in the 50's you'll see. Springtime!

Sprintime sounds great and so do the 50"s expected here too!!!(Finally)
Here goes hoping my computer, vcr's and anything electronic understand we will spring ahead earlier this year. Oh I wish I was an electronic Geek. I know we are going to spend hours on resetting everything.

 

[brack]

LOL Thanks ...I can go from listening to Iron Maiden to Barry Manilow ..I have always loved Music and listen to the whole spectrum

I'm with you

I go from Ozzy Osbourne to Mozart (playing right now here)

Your kids went to school with Merideth Grey?


Oh...you meant her REAL kids....

I really need to Clean, Clean and more Clean.​

Bye, Cheryl

I really need to Do Wash, Do Wash and Do More Wash.​

 

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

I hear you about the HE detergent...We JUST stocked up on regular stuff...the ALL Small and Mighty stuff, because it was on sale!!
So we now have like 8 bottles of detergent that we're not going to be able to use...

Oh well. So far we're really liking the LG.
I love the little chimes...

I've never bothered with the HE - I just use less of the regular kind....I like Tide Free and just assumed the HE didn't come in Free...I had actually read here on the DIS at that time that HE wasn't necessary.

 

[darthrugby]

Yes, it is. I believe it the first shops were in Cincinnati. Oprah mentioned it once on her show also....I think they even to mail order now!

how doo you mail ice cream?

[allshookup]

Ketchupin' from overnight....

HEY.... no fair. If you're having a mini mini-meet in MA, you have to have it somewhere on the T line so I can take the train down!!

Off to ketchup from this morning.....

MaryAnn already offered, but I will definitely come pick you up in Boston too. I think we should definitely plan one.

Very windy here last night - wokes us up a couple of times it was so loud.

Same here! Suppose to be in the 50's over the weekend. Woohoo! Get out the shorts!

Oh no, no Bunco, and no Sing-a-longs either....sorry folks!

I don't know how to play Bunco or Euchre (or whatever it's called) or barely even Poker, but I'm willing to learn. I love games!

MR waddaya mean no singalongs? I can't survive without singalongs!


I will survive!!!

"her Majesty". its all about !

Oh my she is a beauty!!!

Tomorrow DH has lasik - again. He got lased about 6 months ago. His vision went from about 20/1200 to 20/40. He's pretty jazzed. But, the doc isn't satisfied. Want's another shot at getting him to 20/20 or better - no charge. His explination at the pre-op on Monday was - "we're going to have to two putt on this to get it in the hole". DH responded - "two putt? I'm just glad to be in the country club!"

I watched his first surgery. Gave me the heebie jeebies. I have no desire to do this. But, I can understand DH's desire. My eyesight is 20/40 uncorrected - I can't imagine what he was living with. It's just too bad he couldn't see anything back when I was skinny...

I had Lasik surgery up in Montreal in 2003. Best thing I ever did. We went during Feb. vacation & made a little mini vaca. out of it. The city is so clean & beautiful. Loved the underground malls & restaurants! It was great!

trying another shot with photobucket resizing - sorry all - your my guinea pigs...er....guinea

This one was shot a couple of seconds later with no flash whatsoever - but I still like this one also! Forgive me - had too much sun w/o protection - long day. NOTE TO SELF: Next time bring an

Love the pics!!!

"Happy Birthday Sean"​

Being a pirate today too! Hope you don't mind Andy! Happy Birthday Sean!!!!

Okay ...Lets play the IPOD game ....everyone get your IPOD and put it on Shuffle and list the first ten songs that come up ....this will give us an idea of what music you enjoy ...I'll Start

1. November Rain - Guns and Roses
2. We Belong - Pat Benatar
3. Dont Forget About Us - Mariah Carey
4. Fall to Pieces - Velvet Revolver
5. Sgt.Peppers Lonley Hearts club band - The Beatles
6. Tell it to My Heart - Taylor Dayne
7. In The End - Linkin Park
8. Superstition - Stevie Wonder
9. Some girls do - Sawyer Brown
10. World in My Eyes - Depeche Mode


Wow not to bad for the first 10 out of over 7500 tunes I have on mine ...Okay whos next ??? Lisa ??? I know you have your IPOD working ...LOL

I also have love a wide variety of music, but my IPOD doesn't really represent all the music I love, because it's still fairly new & I haven't downloaded a lot yet. Anyway my current top 10:

You Don't Own Me - Lesley Gore
A Little Less Conversation - Elvis (remix version)
Candy Man - Christina Aguilera
Irreplaceable - Beyonce
You Raise Me Up - Josh Groban
Buttons - ***** Cat Dolls
Toxic - Brittney Spears
Pon De Replay - Rihanna
Pie Jesu - Sarah Brightman
The One - Gary Allan

I appreciate everyone's well wishes, thoughts and prayers. I apologize for not being able to respond to all the posts individually or multi-quote but I just don't have it in me right now. To say I'm a bit depressed would be an understatement. I don't even really want to talk about it -atleast not yet. but it appears that either something happened like a stroke or something or I have Bell's palsy or something and dealing with the non-functioning part of my face & mouth right now is well... not fun. I'm not even sure if I should post that because now if it doesn't go away I'm going to think everyone is looking at me on the cruise.
I'm only 37yrs old and was not prepared for something like this at this stage of my life. I've never been pretty- I know that. But it's like God had to say oh you think you're ugly now, you haven't seen nothing yet... it can always get worse little missy.


Atleast I know my tears work in both eyes.

Oh MY BIP! I don't even know what to say. I'm crying right along with you bud & I hope you get answers real soon! Keep us updated!

OK, guys....this is getting embarrasing. This group isn't the way it is because of me. It is because of everyone here.

Lisa I already mentioned to you in a PM a while back telling you how much I appreciated all your work here, but I just wanted to let you know that it is not only how hard you work putting the website together, updates, etc. but also how kind you are to everyone. Let's just hope that kindness & compassion are contagious!

Hi -
Just checking in - Thank you all for the well wishes - I survived my (3hr) surgery and I'm doing okay thanks to Vicodin!

Glad you are doing okay! Hang in there!

Okay lately I've been doing a lot of "post & runs" & I think today will be no different! I get caught up & it's time to get some work done. IE: laundry, cooking, etc. DH & kids do not appreciate my DIS addiction. By the time I even finish typing all this & posting...pages will have gone by. Have a good day all!!!!

Ok that's funny I don't care who you are! God bless the starving pygmies in .....

You don't care who I am?

* however, it wasn't lost how he wrecked his brother's accord,
just "practicing" driving..2 miles to& fro school! boy , if it
wasn't for the "car"..he could have been hurt..it jumped over a
20'foot revene..( he blame it on the car tires, ..
ha! it had those mic. that you see on tv "trying" to slide on
water).. to say i was would be an understatment.....) then
the patrol put up a guardrail...we call it "patrick".

* anyway..this is the "baby" i was talking about..all grown up! we
deserve some sort of award!


can you tell he like his truck... , he washes and waxes all the time...
but can we ever get him to clean his roooooom, noooooo!
