Ahoy mateys, please check in here at the unofficial Pirate Chapter of Free Republic if you were at Friva and saw the Pirate Invasion at least one time while at the Treasure Island Resort.

Even though I could spot some of you unsavory pirates from across a room, I didn't bother to scribble your screen names on any of my numerous receipts from Vegas.

The good news is that my camera's fine now. I just purchased shoddy batteries in Reno. IT FIGURES with a name like that.

I'll bookmark this thread and post here occasionally because Jeb Bush doesn't need me full time. LOL

I make a motion that we have no issues or ping list. What more could you want in a chapter?

If you had a bad day at the office, drop by the Pirate Thread and just try to get our undivided attention.

And, finally, I make a motion that we don't take any guff from the bandwidth police. We'll sink their battleship if they try anything.

An Historic Day - The Pirate Chapter thread is officially opened on this 20th day of August, 2002.

Gracious Goodness! Hey girl, whatcha been up to? Just checking in. Have we walked anyone off the plank lately?

[Just another Joe]

Have we walked anyone off the plank lately?

Only Sadham and Baghdad Bob.
How you ladies doin'?

I'm putting to good use some of the things learned at FRiva and am about to become a volunteer member of my county's Kit Bond staff.
Ya gotta start somewhere.

Hiya! So sorry I couldn't make it to the Clearwater rally the other weekend. Saw the pics, and they are fabulous!

I have been incredibly busy with work. Not complaining, mind you--I keep hearing there are a lot of people looking for work. Working every day--all work and no play makes NautiNurse a dull girl. Haven't had time to take the boat out in ages.

Good to hear from you!

Avast FV. The sky be blue with SW winds at 20 knots and temperatures in the high 80s. It's another Carribean spring day on the Great Plains.

Perfect weather for pirate black on a motorcycle! Hope you've been having a good time!

[The Shrew]

I'm finally rid of casts and crutches and amblin' aboot to get me sea legs back!

Thanks for the Hail! Fair winds and followin' seas to ya lassie!

Ahoy, mate, Hear ye, hear ye, Alas, FV's work is never going to be done...From Drudge's page:

Jeb vs. Hillary

With Republicans expecting President Bush to roll to reelection in 2004, their focus is fast turning to 2008 and whom the GOP will run against expected Democratic nominee Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Now, Whispers is told that Florida Gov. Jeb Bush looks strong. "If Jeb is in the mix" for the nomination, says a top GOP official, "it's his."

FV says: Hear me out...I'm workin' hard for #43 in 2004. Jeb's just chatter at this point but I know that Laura Ingraham likes him.

Good for you re: the Kit Bond opportunity. That's what I like to call them. Has your cooking improved any since your admission at Friva?

[floriduh voter]

I am catching up on posts today. Yep, the Coachman Park Rally was great.

Speaking of work, I need to work on my blog. I pulled my other sites and picked a domain name that matches my to be trademarked name. I'm waiting until July so I have plenty of time to make changes.

I've tried to organized my free republic stuff so when we all meet again, I'll have stuff to pass out, etc. Florida freepers ARE DEFINITELY HAPPENING!!!

[floriduh voter]

I'm so behind on reading comments. Glad to hear from ye. I did hear that you are having grand weather in the Great Plains. I moved and doing well.

It seems like the more stuff I sort, the more stuff I have to sort - micromanagement at its finest. lol

We have a Pirate Chapter where we can check in without having to make a big splash. If you want to get on the Pirate ping list, it's low volume. Let me know. You can always find your friends here.

I love the Pirate Cove. The realistic parrot in front of the pirate ship talks of course. FYI: The ship is smaller than it looks on tv as you probably know. Tampa Bay is the home of MacDill Air Force Base.

REMINDER that there's a freep-a-thon going on and there many organizations listed here at Free Republic who are aiding military families. I highly recommend falling in to the Freeper Foxhole.

Has your cooking improved any since your admission at Friva?

Cooking?
I've been a decent cook since the age of 14 when my mother told me, "You want something to eat? It's not mealtime. You cook it, and don't forget to clean up your mess."

[floriduh voter]

Didn't you tell us about poor ole dad stew at Friva? Maybe I'm mistaken.

[Just another Joe]

OOOhhhhh, OK, that was "poor dad casserole".
And it was good to begin with!

[floriduh voter]

Hey, Joe, are they having Friva again and is it in Vegas? My brother lives there and he plans his baseball vacation around my visit. They drive to San Diego to watch b-ball. If you don't know, never mind. (I'll use any means to keep this Pirate Thread alive). LOL

[floriduh voter]

Ahoy, it's talk like a pirate day. You get the rest of the day off. Pirate dictionary is at #204.

Friva Survivor Floriduh Voter and a bottle a rum.

[floriduh voter]

Ahoy, it's Talk Like a Pirate Day and you can take the rest of the day off. If I missed anyone from Friva, it's President Bush's fault, mmmmmmkay?

Pirate talk is at #204 or just drop by to say hi. I'm busy but having a great time.

Go, Bucs! FV

If you haven't heard Terri Schiavo's story on The Factor or seen her 5000K thread here at FR, we need everyone's help. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE and without PUBLIC PRESSURE, she may needlessly lose her life after Oct. 15, 2003. Please do a search under Terri Schindler-Schiavo for the big thread.

Phone numbers are at post #1753. We are asking folks to call Governor Bush & Legislator Carassas, District 54, Pinellas Cty. They're the only leaders who have tried to help Terri. WE WANT A SPECIAL SESSION FOR TERRI. SURPRISE, SURPRISE, ANOTHER JUDGE IS OUTTA CONTROL!!!

Thanks, FV
