Good Morning!

[Sue]

Back by popular demand! (Well, okay, Brendalu wants a poem... Thank you, Brendalu....)

Four hundred and sixty-three visits to go,
Then history will have been made,
A hundred thousand persons strong,
This record will likely not fade.

All Cakes did was say Good Morning,
She cleaned and did a word puzzle,
Now we all sail the seven seas,
With plenty of grog to guzzle.

Folks come from all over the world,
To visit and to spread some cheer,
To say Hello! and How are you?,
And, yes, Good Morning Dear.

It's great to have this wonderful place,
A place we can call our home,
But do you wonder if Cakes thought,
This would ever become such a tome?

We ended up with Deb as Captain,
A crew that is most certainly the best,
A pirate ship like none other,
Now, whoever would have guessed?

So go forth and multiply Good MorningThread,
Cakes' message has only begun,
Four hundred and some odd more visits to go,
A proud record that won't be outdone!

[Larry]

Looks like this 'ere rust bucket needs some wenches scrubbin the deck and scally's drinkin' the rum mmmm, yep, got that right (girly - ya missed me thrown your stapler - your a good throuw but 10,000 miles is a little far!)

Sorry i have been missing in action but am dealing with some other rotten health issued at present 9 iwon't elaborate)

anyway, i think i might have to come out of retirement and get this show on the road.

Watch this space. in the menatime, we need to send a search party out for the Captain. Any volunteers?

Laz

[Larry]

Oh, and great Poem Sue - you are a legend. And for the girly who wants a raise - I'm sure the Captain will double your current Cruise director's wage oh thats right, you are the Cursed Cruise Director therefore, your wage has been cut in half but seeing that you are so good at your job, you can maintain your existing wage.

geesh, i think i have mad cows - call those men in white(again).

Laz

p.s - and the Countdown begins

[Sue]

Oh, Thank God, you're back, Laz.  God Love Ya,  you great big handsome Aussie, you.  Sending you GREAT BIG GIANT wishes for the current rotten health problem to be gone, gone, gone. These wishes are riding the waves and the air currents all the way to the land of Oz, and surrounding you with soothing, healing, golden warm light of health and love. 

Take care of yourself and I can't wait to see where we'll be going!

I know, let's go somewhere where the words "acoustic neuroma" have never been heard of.

Save that quote!  If you attend the 2009 Symposium in Chicago and we go to the House of Blues for their Sunday Gospel Brunch it will come in handy

Thank you for the poem Sue, you need to write on TIBU..........you actually get paid for your writing!  Laz, so sad to hear you have health woes.  Never a good thing.  Happy thoughts and prayers coming your way.  Can't wait to hear the tales of the high seas.............
I think that Sadie St John has chewed her Master's hands so sore that the keyoard is too painful.  Where is that Aloe plant??
Standing...err sitting ready.  The countdown continues

What    Lori & I had first dibs on Johnny 

[lori67]

HMMMM.... sounds like we might have a little mutiny on board!  Can't say I've met many men worth fighting over, but Johnny Depp would be one of 'em!   

Lori

*looks over shoulder of lurking "Director" of ultimate grand dame ship*.............

[Sue]

Can I have Orlando Bloom? Huh? Can I? Can I?  Paleeeeeeeze!!!   

Sue in Vancouver

*spots Orlando running in opposite direction.  really running fast. thinks she hears screaming. might not get Orlando if she can't catch him! 

But, I keep forgetting, on the Good Ship Princess Batty Wench, I can be a most beautiful young wench.  Sort of like Second Life.  Anyone been there?  I was curious and went there and had fun creating my "Avatar", then I enjoyed flying around a bit and then the other Avatar people scared me!  I am such a doofus, that I didn't realize that there is a sexual side to this stuff.  I want the PG rated area, not the R rated areas - or "mature" as they call it.  HA  Even so,  was also almost immediately "hooked" on it.  It is called a "soft addiction", like computers, TV, video games, etc, and God Help Me, I am susceptible to such things and I deleted it from my computer.  But it was really, really fun creating my Second Life persona.  And I thought, wow..too bad I am not well versed in computer stuff and had money to buy an Island for us there.  We could have a whole ANA Second Life thing going on, with pirate Avatars and our ship in the cove.  I really could see it.  I just don't know how to do it.  Do you know that people can make actual real money on that site?  I was trying to figure that out too!  I doubt I'm clever enough to figure all that out.   

Take care and have a good weekend everyone.

Sue
