8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 5

[JLDSMD]

WOW!!! I'm all caught up again, for now!!!

I'm to the point now that I will just go back maybe 5 pages. If I'm away too long it doesn't pay to try to catch up.

Yesterday I didn't even try to read the old posts (funny that old posts are only 3 hours old ).

The funny thing with the Family season was watching the one with the whiney daughter. Just wanted to hit her upside the head.

I hated that they barely left the country. As I read someone say:

"Teams must now navigate this parking lot and find this handicapped parking space, the eighth pit stop in a race around the Eastern U.S."

"The Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams have to choose between playing Scrabble and Hi Ho Cherry O. Scrabble involves making words from small tiles, and that could take a while. But Hi Ho Cherry O involves small pieces, which less intelligent team members may put in their mouths and choke on.”

Yes, but nothing ever develops.

My mind is filled with useless trivia. I can remember every phone number I have ever had. I can't remember where I parked my car.

My mind is a warehouse of useless trivia too. I wanta be on your team for Trival Pursuit!

Sold. My son and I won "Who Wants to be a Mouseketeer" on the last cruise and we tied in "Mickey Trivia". (We would have won, but we sent DS13 up to answer the last question and he didn't know who Kelsey Grammar was.)

Andy,

Glad to hear you had a good night.

Are you off work again today?

If so, with them sleeping in, you won't have to worry about them interrupting your run.

But then again, maybe Randy will win 2 in a row.

Yes, no school for Angelina, and no work for me, today or Monday, we have off for President's Weekend(today for Lincoln's birthday and Monday for Washington's birthday, it's great working for the government!!!). With taking vacation days the past two days, I wound up with a nice 6 day break from work!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

No you aren't.

I know, that why I wrote "for now" in bold letters.

The funny thing is, they were right in our neck of the woods (Philadelphia) and I never knew it until it showed on TV.

Happy Birthday Curtis and Don

UGH! I have to get those stupid things counted & in ziplocks.

I am the coordinator this year and finally got to use the collection sheets I told the previous coordinator about it. She said she couldn't use them as BT were picky how they would take submissions. Of course she is the same person who led everyone to believe that it was hard to run the pop corn popper! Not! I used them for the fall deadline and we got $554! I use the 10 count sheets and bundle up 5 sheets and that is 50. You can go on the BT website and they have collection sheets. I've made up a couple of my own. I gotta make up one for March. Leprechans and shamrocks. The kids are really getting into the sheets! People are actually asking for them! That is a something at our school! LOL!

Captain Kangaroo!

I loved Captain Kangaroo! Mr Moose, Bunny Rabit, Mr Greenjeans the pin pong balls.

When I was a little kid our neighbor went deer hunting and got a buck. the next morning my mom said look out the window and see what Mr. Head got. So I went and saw the buck and thought he had killed Mr. Moose! I started crying and my mom was trying to calm me down. She said thankfully Captain Kangroo came on in about an hour and Mr. Moose was on first thing. After that I was OK. She said if Mr Moose hadn't come on it would of been a verrry long day! I never really liked that neighbor after that though!

I really wish there was a link back to the comment about baggies. I've read several comments about it but must have missed the original one. Exactly why do we need baggies in Cartegena?

me too ????

It wasn't THAT bad...although I could have found all of the East Coast pitstops in my sleep with my eyes closed...and that's with me doing the driving.

Now when it comes to vacations, I don't plan to relax. I plan something that puts my kids in training for the next Family version of The Amazing Race....well....at least by the more conservative standards of family & friends.

Any time we take a trip and we have a choice of things to do, inevitably someone in the family says "A detour is a choice of tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this detour, family members must choose between ....."

 

[Downrivermama]

As for jobs ...

... I run a small business as a distributor to the trade in financial services... I'm a wholesaler - but this has faded somewhat since the kids came along... I have refocused some on the family and was gonna pick it up as the kids' schedule demands faded with age (their demand do eventually fade... don't they?).... and my spouse is a drug dealer for a large manufacturer... her specialization is in Oncology.... Lung and Breast, with secondary emphasis on Prostate and a couple other varients.

Our singular pet is a Samoyed... Sugar... he was rescued though a rescue organization called "Save Our Samoyeds"... AKA "SOS". We've had Samoyeds in our home for approximately 20 years now.

Here's Sugar again,..

Drug Dealer? Does she have a lot of baggies? I think her business cards probably read pharmaceutical sales representative. It sounds nicer!

 

[mkygrl]

Good Morning everyone!
Happy Friday!

Baggies?

I love Amazing Race!

Captaincrash: your dog is so cute!

 

[yargrnhoj]

So now, we have:

* fluff
* ketchup
* baggies
* crisco

Is this a cruise or a food convention?

 

[buckifan]

Tom, by the end of the weekend your nails will be painted and you will have cute clips in your hair. Get use to the idea now.

So, I'm thinking mine isn't the only dh that has had to play the Pretty Pretty Princess game??

 

[Joel110]

I loved Romper Room!

It used to freak me out that she could see me in the Magic Mirror.

"I see Desiree, and Lisa and Judy and yargrnhoj.....Oh... .... shame on you! "
