As much as you may like it ..... NO MANGO! Vicki would be going straight to the infirmary as she is very alergic to ingested mango. Touching it would give her a rash.

Of course, if she drank some, that would leave more room on the verada ....

<of course I'm joking, dear wife o'mine, the one who would happily man the guillotine for me>

Is Leslie (DPD) also allergic to mango??

 

[kpros]

Happy Birthday Tracy and Leslie (gouodux)!!!!
Have a great day!

Is Leslie (DPD) also allergic to mango??

[winotracy]

I could respond to each and every post just to pad my post count (scotth), but that's not me.

Thank you for all the Wonder-ful birthday greetings.

 

[icunurse_celeste]

Ok what is TAG?

Dan

Here is the general info about Mickey Tag

There will be three Mickey shaped door magnets that will be passed around for the eleven days we are on the Wonder. Each Mickey will have a list of everyone playing with their Disboard name and room number. There will also be three check off columns (rounds) on each list. When you receive the Mickey, please sign the magnet and check off your name on the list on the back of the magnet in the current round column. Then pick a name and tag another stateroom that has not yet been checked off on the list in the current round.

Remember, don’t hold on to the Mickey to long – pass it on as soon as you can. All staterooms should be checked off in each round before you tag someone in the next round (i.e. all staterooms should be checked off in round 1 before round 2 begins). If a stateroom already has a Mickey magnet on their door, you must move on and tag another stateroom (i.e. no door should have more than one magnet at a time). It is hoped that the magnets will circulate two to three times during our eleven days. On the last evening of the cruise, please return the Mickey magnets to Spros (shari) at stateroom 6580.

Oh... go ahead and reply one by one....

It IS your special day now isn't it? And while you're at it - break each reply into 2 or 3 postings! It's sort of a binary or trinary technique with potentially explosive tally resluts in the making!

hee-heh-hee!

my last BD I wanted to get spoiled... but all i got were socks and a shirt! So go ahead... go wild!

Tracy, I decline to acquiesce... LOL

Go get him Tracy!

 

[captaincrash]

Awww Shoot....

... again? WELL.... we'll be hoping the best for everyone who's in the path of "E".... stay safe and we are sorry to see this coming through FL again....

for what it's worth the NHC only predicted 3 named "H"s in the region this season. So this is ... what? ... one down?

So what about the million dollars in $20's captn was talking about...is that the prize...hmm is there a winner?

Oh, Leslye!! Does that mean the UPS man is coming to my house today???

Congrats on your docs!

Happy Birthday to Tracy & Leslie

Yeah...

... i DO vaguely recall reading about a $1,000,000 prize in this DIS game .... oh ... maybe that was MY post that started the rumor!?

Sorry, no winner in this game of tag. We play for fun and not for competition. Unless of course the Captain is going to pony up the money for the prize and then the gloves come off.

Congrats! I can answer your question -- allergic reactions to things. I always carry something for the skin allergies and other allergic reactions. Don't have to worry too much because there is nothing I know of that we are allergic to food wise, but you never know.

OK...

I'll fund it... but the million is gonna be a future value quasi-BOND... IE... investing $0.31 once at 16% daily compounding yields $1,020,708.48 over 99 years. OR... the future value of $1 at the 42 year historical average (1962~2004) for 10 year T-bill yield of 7.215% 99 years from now with an assumed annual compounding is $1,060.61. That is realistic - as is the unlikelihood of my chipping in a real $942.85 which is exactly what is needed under the latter T-bill based example for a US govt. 10 yr. bond based $1,000,000 payoff... in 99 years at an assumed constant 7.215% yield every year.... Tax FREE!

Yeah Captain! Put your money where your mouth is

OK, I'll put up the first dollar if you can raise the other $941.85 to match for a $1,000,000 prize! So NOW my money is technically on the line... just not exactly enough for the entire $1KK. But I have a FAIR plan... (below):

10 year US T-Bill yields
Year Yield
1962' 3.95
1963' 4.00
1964' 4.19
1965' 4.28
1966' 4.93
1967' 5.07
1968' 5.64
1969' 6.67
1970' 7.35
1971' 6.16
1972' 6.21
1973' 6.85
1974' 7.56
1975' 7.99
1976' 7.61
1977' 7.42
1978' 8.41
1979' 9.43
1980' 11.43
1981' 13.92
1982' 13.01
1983' 11.10
1984' 12.46
1985' 10.62
1986' 7.67
1987' 8.39
1988' 8.85
1989' 8.49
1990' 8.55
1991' 7.86
1992' 7.01
1993' 5.87
1994' 7.09
1995' 6.57
1996' 6.44
1997' 6.35
1998' 5.26
1999' 5.65
2000' 6.03
2001' 5.02
2002' 4.61
2003' 4.01
2004' 4.27
Avg. 7.215​

Or, put another way ... lets' divide the $942 required by the number of TAG participants and we'd have a fair funding of a real prize! And I would be happy to manage the kitty over the next 99 years commisson free (after zero profit net expenses)! Or - so my aires will assume management or a designated trader after my retirement or passing - which ever comes first! I can have my general counsol draw up the contract in time for the sailing!! I'll even contribute his fees billed to me, as I have a balance with him that has sat there for some time unused anyways. Litigation has been light as of late.
