Maybe I'll go for filling up a single page all by myself = Captain, have you done that before??? I think not... Oh shoot - DPD, Tigger&Bubba and SandyM are on the page. No one to with. And, I am up and Adam

What sort of impression am I leaving with the community when I'm branded as some sort of psychotic type like this??? Hehe...heh ... heh... OK.... maybe you're not all that far off the mark as I HAVE come close to entering all the posts on a single page - as in when trying to sneak up on a century mark supposedly alone... OK ... then again - I don't think I've yet come close to posting a full page yet.

We have a PO Box in Carlin Nevada at a post office right beside a truck stop that we are at twice weekly. It makes paying bills conveinent when we are on the road 6-8 weeks at a time. Our mailbox at home just gets junk mail. I am a magazine junkie so they get sent to the PO Box too. I just ordered Kevin's Pirate costume online and they are shipping it to the PO Box as well. Carlin doesn't have regular mail delivery so everyone that lives there has a po box so sometimes I think people think we live there

​

...... If you get an apartment and untility bills for NV you can drop your state income taxes to zero! You need to meet the 51% habitation rule - consult you tax counselor for final details then paypal me 1/2 of 1% of annual income (annually) as MY consult fee. And naturally... paypal my NEVADA account - that forwards to my bank in the Cayman Islands.... which naturally forewards to my account on the Moon where I'm told by my counselors that the tax man has not found a way to reach our funds.

And if you'd like to get in on the Moon account - I have a nice ponzi scheme to refer you to... it's called Social Security!

WOW! What a haul of goodies! Now I am confused... do the fish extenders get used for everyday utility in the cabin or are they part of a sharing game where we all contribute something to everyone elses' fish extenders in our community? IE.... where did all this "loot" come from and what was the premise? As I would not want to misunderstand and FAIL to contribute properly to the community event??

So far all I know of is we are to have some sort of fish extender decorating contest - divided into two age catagories...

Capt'n...you can use your fish extender outside your cabin (hanging on the FISH) to give your Disboard friends a way to leave gifts. Or you can utilize in your cabin.

When we traveled on the May repo cruise (when we got all of those goodies) we didn't want to lose our fish extender (we forgot the ziptie!) and just kept it in our cabin.

As for where all of our loot came from...well, we had quite the group on the May repo cruise (similiar to this one!) and some people decided to give a "gift" to our disboard buddies or "lanyard people" as we came to be known. The gift was in no way required. It was just that, a gift. As Elaine stated, we got so many fun things! We all enjoyed coming back to our cabin throughout the day to see what new goodies were left for us. Just two weeks ago, I found a bag that Webray (Bob & Cheryl) gave us on the cruise. We plan on using this trip!

I hope I have explained this okay .

Ahhh....

Now I understand... and I feel a little like the new kid on block allof a sudden! BUT - now I have some fun ideas brewing...

Thanks for the "skinny" ...

Bob & Scott,

I just discovered Radio Margaritaville on my Sirius Radio!! Just in time to prep for the cruise!! Unfortunately, Michael and I can't listen to it at home, as we have it in our cars and the office. Although there are times we would LOVE to have a drink at the office, then we'd have to drive home!
Oh, I just remembered I can listen online. Does it stream okay with dial-up??

Actually, no one was required to do anything. But on the May Repo cruise, it ended up that everytime you returned to your stateroom you had "FISH MAIL". The name came from the FISH outside your door that we hung our extenders on.

It was quite fun. Everytime my mom came back to her stateroom she would look at what I got and then say "well I hope I got that too". (She was right next door).

Alot of times things showed up in your fish mail and you didn't even know who left them and I think in some ports people picked up some inexpensive items and delivered them to us while some were planned beforehand.

It was a blast. I'm trying to figure out if I can get both my "fish extenders" hanging from my fish

I refuse to live more than 1/2 hour from a super walmart. Ours is 5 min from our house

Check the pizza place (pepperoni's?) inside flying J for the mugs

For ME its' a Costco... and we're 5 min from one.... BUT I do understand the merits of a W-M or Target as they have a lot more variety at fair prices.

I don't quite think that Jenn will be happy to find that in your fish extender, especially while on vacation.

I am so bored. This has got to be the slowest work day ever. Still have an hour and a half to go too. I wish it was this time in 4 weeks. I'd still have to be here for an hour and a half, but knowing that I wouldn't have to come in the next day would be a big help, cause I'd be leavin' for Florida!!!!

Oh well, there's still plenty to do in the meantime. Like wait another week for my kitchen tile.

 

[rotary2808]

Did it hurt??????????????????

That's what I was wondering. That and how much it costs?

Yes Laurie, you can listen online. Dial-up does work. Just not as well. I think that the Sirius server figures out your "speed" and adjusts the stream to accomodate.

If not, RM does work pretty good on dial-up.

 

[icunurse_celeste]

Did it hurt??????????????????

I stings a little, but it doesn't really hurt, but she told me I had a high threshold for pain. They base your laser settings on what you can tolerate and you skin color. Being that I am pale and have a high threshold, I can go with high settings. I have had it done before and it takes a few treatments to get everything, but you usually don't have to shave for the first few weeks- so I should be pretty good for the trip. It was $135 for armpits. You can buy packages so you can get everything...I usually just go when I want to. You end up with less hair each time. Personally, I like it- I hate shaving.

Did it hurt??????????????????

Well, that does it. I can't read back anymore. Gotta take a break.

Been a rought couple days.

Later.
