lolrotf.
she told me a minute ago that she was "really good, in that she did NOT buy MUCH 14K jewelry this time, though it was really hard NOT to buy a ring with a 1 caret center stone & numerous emerald cut stones surrounding it!!!!!" (emphasis: HERS!)
< the ring as ONLY about 2.75 carets of diamonds!!!!!!
btw, she said the food was "awful" THROUGHOUT THE CRUISE, Nassau WAS "HORRIBLE, HOT,DAMP & i'll never go back there". Cozumel otoh was "NICE"! she was especially impressed with the Mayan ruins, near Cozumel.
duckie said, "you would NOT have had a good time. i'm glad you didn't go."
based on what she said, i wouldn't have eaten & would have LOST weight.
i asked her if she would go again & she said, "NOT on Carnival!!!!"

I'm taking a breather between golf and yard work this AM and thought I'd drop in. As much as I'd like to comment more about the horrific battles that took place at Antietam, I was very moved by the section on Dennis Frye and the Civil War Society based in Berryville, VA. My family is planning a trip next Spring to Richmond, VA. My hope is to visit Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, Manassas and Sharpsburg. I was going to wait until then and get as many FReepers advise as to the best tour groups, et al. (with SamWolf at the top of the list). But if Mr. Frye is still alive, he sounds like an awesome source to contact and make reservations.
Anyway, I've really enjoyed the two posts thus far on Antietam . . . they've added much to my existing books on the CW. Look forward to next Friday’s third installment.
BTW, I'm traveling to Miami, FL tomorrow for a national conference on Db security for patient medical records (they're really lining up for this one . . . yawn.). I'll be back Thursday night and jump into the Foxhole Friday evening. Looks like Jeanne is heading northward and staying in the Atlantic so my trip is a "go". I'll check back on this thread later today but otherwise keep your powder dry and I'll talk to ya on Friday.

2004 Freeper Airman Kidlette reports.
Hey dad, is my gig line straight? Is my haircut 35-10?
Practice at blending into her environment.

Hi miss Feather, we're doing well here. How about yourself? Is it still raining?
Today's classic warship, USS Cushing (TB-1)
Cushing class torpedo boat
Displacement. 116 t.
Lenght. 140'
beam. 15'1"
Draft. 4'10"
Speed. 23 k.
Complement. 22
Armament. 3 8-pdr., 3 torpedo tubes
The USS Cushing (TB-1) was launched 23 January 1890 by Herreshoff Manufacturing Co., Bristol, R.I.; sponsored by Miss K. B. Herreshoff; and commissioned 22 April 1890, Lieutenant C. M. Winslow in command.
The first torpedo boat built for the Navy, Cushing was attached to the Squadron of Evolution and equipped for experimental work to complete the development of torpedo outfits and to gather data for the service. On 8 September 1891 she reported to Newport for duty at the Naval Torpedo Station, and except for a brief period out of commission, 11 November 1891-11 January 1892, Cushing continued her torpedo experiments in this area until 1893.
Cushing arrived at Hampton Roads 31 March 1893 for temporary duty with the Naval Review Fleet, and in April she escorted HMS Blake and HMS Caravels to New York. Cushing returned to duty at Newport 6 May, working with the Whitehead torpedo. Based on Key West from 31 December 1897, Cushing reported to the North Atlantic Fleet's Blockading Force for picket patrol in the Florida Straits and courier duty for the Force. On 11 February 1898 while making a passage to Havana, Cushing lost Ensign J. C. Breckinridge overboard in heavy seas. For their heroic efforts to save him, Gunner's Mate Third Class J. Everetts and Ship's Cook First Class D. Atkins were awarded the Medal of Honor.
Upon the declaration of war between the United States and Spain, Cushing was assigned to patrol the Cays, and on 7 August captured four small vessels and towed them to her anchorage at Piedras Cay. Four days later armed boats from Cushing and Gwin captured and burned a 20-ton schooner. Returning north in August, 1898, Cushing resumed her operations at the Newport Torpedo Station 14 September until decommissioned 8 November 1898.
From 1901 to 1911 she was attached to the Reserve Torpedo Flotilla at Norfolk, and was sunk 24 September 1920 after use as a target.
She's adorable! Looks like she'll get to keep that hat for awhile. I almost couldn't see her on that navy blanket, LOL. She's looking good. Thanks PE.
Oh no, does this have to do with HIPAA, ugh!
Sam was my tour guide. We just got back from Manassas. The morning started out with rain again so we put off the long trip to Gettysburg or Aberdeen, the rain stopped about noon and we took off to tour Manassas. Tomorrow to the Washington Mall to see all the monuments/memorials and Arlington. Then we have to tend to business all next week. At least my legs will get a rest. :-)
Have a safe trip, see you next week.
I love those slippers. It's the counting sheep from the mattress comercial, or is it Lambchop?
Tell duckie I hear "Royal Caribbean" is the only way to go cruising.
I can't help but feel a little foolish that once again I've missed a big trip you guys have taken. I'm talking about going to Virginia and you guys are already there. Doink! Well, at least you'll have plenty of advise for me next May/June '05 when we go.
Oh no, does this have to do with HIPAA, ugh!
LOL! While I'm sure we'll here plenty on Federal Regulatory matters this conferance has more to do with both NPDB (National Practitioners Data Bank) and HIPDB (Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank). Bottom line is it will be four days of relentless bombardment on the latest ways to evaluate user's request for new data elements and systems and incorporate into the existing shared data environment.
But just between you and me [this is classified]; the real reason I'm going is I'll get to play the "Blue Monster" at Doral Country Club. This has always been one of the Top Ten Courses I've always wanted to play before I go to heaven (and then it won't matter!). But! Shssssssh! Don't let my CIO know.
Hey Sam! How's the weather!?! ;^)
LOL. Hey, we pinged you! Good luck playing the Blue Monster. Let us know what your score was when you get back. :-)
