A healthy dose 1 2

Maybe it just me, but it seems like everyone has times when they can use a a healthy dose of something positive. Something inspirational or sensical or even just a break from the daily rhetoric the media feeds us about terrorism, violence and threat levels - the political punditry and the fact that the number of hate groups around the country has increased by more than 50 percent since 2000, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center and all that other stuff about life that can just feel oppressive after awhile. So, here's thread where maybe when you need a healthy dose of something better, you can poke in and maybe find it. (9 hells! I've gone granola!!) The Wolf Yo…

Some of you may know already from my facebook posts that my 9 year old nephew was put into the hospital recently for a brain tumor. Brennan had massive headaches and they went from La. to Houston for treatment. The tumor is really big and at the base of his brain. Recently he had a biopsy done and they sent him home as they awaited results.... They came in today. Brennan has a really aggressive cancer. It is so bad the Dr.'s told my step sister that they held no hope for him, that if it had been found in an arm or a leg they would have amputated the limb. But with it being so close to the brain, so big and so aggressive they think even with him starting chemo that …

After the eye patch and the peg leg the thing that says pirate is a parrot on your shoulder. I have two sun conures. I acquired them as a birthday gift, then got a book about parrots telling me they are probably the loudest parrot. So my hearing is shot and I got bird s#!t on my clothes,I didn't have to lose an eye or leg.

I've been trying to find the title for a movie I watched years ago as a kid I've asked many people over the years and no one was yet able to give me the answer. The movie is older it was in color, not sure if it was originally black and white and color was later added. one of the things that I remembered about it was their was a crazy old man that had a map or part of a map tattooed on his chest. That's all I can remember from it. Any Ideas?

Hello all, The name is Nathan (that's my real name, Nathaniel was an embellishment that sounded more period), 19, and I'm from Minnesota, USA. I'm a professional actor that wanted to make myself a tricorn hat and was led here, after reading through some of threads I thought this might be a great place to explore a lot of creativity in me that never comes out. I've always wanted to make my own costumes for different things, and this would be the perfect excuse for it, not to mention that then I would have a costume for the Ren Fest. I really can't express just how excited I am getting reading into all the amazing things that go on in this community. It's truly a wonder t…

Absolutely great to see the folks at the Lock House gathering this weekend. Blackjohn, Callenish, Saltypots, Hamish, Michael Bagley, Kate Souris, Dorian Lassiter and his lady (sorry, I'm lousy with names), Crimson Corsair - I'm sure I'm missing names here. Friday night was a bit of an adventure, camping when it's below freezing is always a special time. But great weather, some grand skirmishes, wonderful food, an new cannon tested, and some lively talk around the campfire, and of course, rum, cider, and beer. What more to ask for?? Looking forward to doing it all again at PiP. Hawkyns

Generally, I keep these things to myself, because - let's face it - is there any topic more unrelentingly BORING than one's health problems? Not really. All the same, I am having some tests this week which sound rather like medieval torture (involving needles stuck in muscles and electrical currents. WTH? Am I trapped in the movie TAKEN!?) called an electromyogram and a set of nerve conduction studies and I made the mistake of looking at what they use these tests to diagnose and there are some pretty serious things on the list and I don't want anything to do with any of them. So, whatever good thoughts you can send, prayers, spells, animal sacrifices (but don't sacrific…

Hello everyone... Just wondering... Has anyone heard from or seen Captain Midnight lately? He hasn't posted here or elsewhere for the better part of a year. Seems to have dropped off the planet... I've had no luck PM-ing him from any of the usual boards. Anyone got a phone number or anything for him?

I bid thee good day My name is Jen (lady Jen in our Pirates of Reno group) and I am new here. I be a novice on this fine sea vessel. My husband, Master Redbeard, started posting here I figured I should as well. Right now we are self publishing my first pirate, young adult, fantasy novel Hoist the Colors. I use the term "fantasy" because there are aspects that veer from fictional pirates. The era was too brutal for any story plot in the YA world. Apparently, agents feel pirates are no longer popular for a literary genre. Filthy land lubbers, what do they know? I look forward to getting to know this fabulous community better :)

Hi all, Just thought i'd be polite and introduce myself. I started Pirate re-enactment about a year ago with a couple of groups here in England and am having fun. I try to make a lot of my own equipment, so may be requesting advice as well as sharing any short cuts i come across. I have just made a felt tricorn (plain for me) and will be making a more ornate one for the Contessa (girlfriend). Will post piccies when i'm done.

So, what be the criteria fer decidin' what yer crew status is? I am a newbie on this island, and that no doubt qualifies me as lowlife . An that be right an' proper. (The very fact that I have to ASK this question no doubt confirms my bilge-rattiness indeed!). What leads me tae ask, is that I see in some cases, folks who been h'yar fer YEARS, an' are still squeakin' in ratliness. So, is it number o' posts? Known pirate accomplishments? A vote by committee? Badgers EAT rats, an' I'm lookin' tae know that my time as one will someday end. Otherwise, someone is gettin' keelhauled!

The Associated Press BEAUFORT, N.C. -- An anchor from a shipwreck thought to be Blackbeard's flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, was so unstable that divers in North Carolina retrieved it Wednesday rather than waiting until next year. Divers raised the 4.5-foot, 160-pound grapnel, or anchor, from the wreck in the Atlantic Ocean near Beaufort on Wednesday and will display it Thursday at the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort. The anchor originally had four prongs, but now has 1 1/2. Two divers put straps on the anchor, then small lift bags that they filled with air, said Mark Wilde-Ramsing, the director of the Queen Anne's Revenge shipwreck project. When the gra…

Well with the final day of the Connecticut Renaissance Faire, The Brigands performance season ends for 2009. We have had one hell of a season this year, and we want to thank so many people for coming out and supporting us, and for spreading the 'word' about The Brigands. We have picked up some new faires and festivals this year and just enjoyed the hell out of the ones we already were performing at. Next year will be our 9th year bringing our combination of period music, famous pirate 'movie' music, traditional fiddle tunes and a faire number of original music and songs to faire and festival goers. We hope to continue that for many years to come. So thanks go to: A…
