[radu]

That little girl is darling!!!

[radu]

Dang! I'm afraid I'm no help with the words to the song. The only bells that ring are those that always ring in my head. I think others hear them, too. I've heard them say I'm a little "ding-y".

[Kathy in Alaska]

I'm almost afraid to ask. How did you manage to fall overboard? Were you underway or at anchor or just hanging? Were you rescued right away? At least it was Florida. Maybe it was fairly warm water?

[radu]

A beautiful graphic. I won't forget our Canadian allies who gave the ultimate sacrifice in Operation Enduring Freedom. May they Rest In Peace.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Much better!

[Snow Bunny]

Be right back, I have to post tomorrow's thread. Back in a couple of minutes.I will be down in the thing down inside of the ship, the hull or kitchen or hmmmmmm I wish I knew all the right names for this. I am going to get in trouble from the Capt. hahahahaha

Evening/Morning Kathy

What a GREAT DAY IT IS ... WAHOOOOOO!!!

[radu]

Oh no. I didn't fall overboard. We were just caught way out from land by a HUGE thunderstorm and were tossed about badly. I honestly don't know how we kept from capsizing. It was the most terrifying ordeal I've been through. This happened in early March, so the water was cold. I'm glad we didn't get tossed off the boat.

When we got back to the marina, I scrambled off the boat, got down on my knees and kissed the ground. I spit sand out of my mouth for a good hour afterwards! LOL!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! Seas are now dead calm and we have smooth sailing back to port. We still have clean up to do. I suppose, just this once, I could take over your clean up duties.

[radu]

ROTFLOL!! You slay me, Snow Bunny!

We'll see you when you get back from the...dang! I don't know either! hahaha!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Forget that tune! I pick the tunes! (LOL!)
MASH YOUR CAPTAIN!
(Am I not totally obnoxious? LOL)

[Mo1]

OH WOW ... what touching pictures Snow Bunny

I have good friends from High School that are stationed down in Norfolk

And the hubbies Uncle is a retired career Navy man

GO NAVY!!!

[radu]

Oooooh, I'm ok. Just hand me a mop and I'll swab the deck. It'll be easy to swing it with all the swaying I'm doing. giggle!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I suppose, just this once, I could take over your clean up duties.

Uh, when we're sailing, I don't HAVE any...but, since I am a benevolent captain and I want to earn the respect of my crew, I'll wash my own drinking glass. That'll win 'em over. : )

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I like your attitude! Keep it up, and I'll recommend you for a promotion!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I think you are going below to the galley (kitchen) to post. This way you can snack while you work. We can ask Scully and the Pirates to give us a list of the correct nomenclature for a few things below deck. If you need the bathroom, be sure to ask for directions to the head. LOL!

[radu]

Just doin' my duties, Cap'n. We don't want to return Tonk's ship back to him in any other condition than tip-top.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I'm changing into my jammies.

See you at 0600 hours! (God bless our troops.)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hi Mo! 11:30PM here. You are up awfully early, unless you haven't been to bed yet. So nice to see you. Are you in Lautenberg's area? Yuck! But the pubbies did a pretty good job all across the country. Now they have to do the right thing and get the government back on track to conservative. Judges first!!
