I appreciate being notified of spam in the Crows Nest, but without a link to the piece of junk I can't start looking at every single thread to find it. I appreciate Silent's PM, but when I tried the link, I got nothing. I can only surmise it's been removed.

March 3rd be me mum's birthday, and she'll be 89 years old, no kid! Her health hasn't been that great of late, but she still tries to keep active by being a volunteer at Akron City Hospital (Akron OH). I be thinking of printing out the congrats that I hope will pour in and giving them to her on her birthday, that she may see what jolly good swell fellas we pyrates are. Along with the usual flowers.

The pain that I experianced prior to surgery is completely gone! I can walk normal and I have only a tiny bit of pain from the surgery...oh and the still numb foot. Went for my post-op check-up and even the doctor was amazed! So there will be no need for physical therapy or any kind of waist brace. The Doc said it's rare that a person would recover from such a surgery so quickly! He said everyone he'd worked on took months of rehabilitation and had lots of pain. I swear! I have no pain! Just a wee bit here and there! The fusion should heal in about six months and by eight months I should be completely complete! I tell you, I myself was ready for a long recovery and lo…

I'm not exactly sure that this is where I belong, but that's nothing new. I figure if there's a better place that you can steer me in the right direction. I'll start off by saying that I have a bit of an obsession (my wife's words, not mine) with pirates. I've never been to any festivals, gatherings, or anything else that involves dressing up or role playing/re-enacting/etc. I'm not opposed to it....especially if there's some good rum being passed around...but I haven't done it and I'm not really sure what is involved. Basically, I am just a guy in his mid thirties who may or may not be having some sort of early mid-life crisis. A couple years ago I was shopping for coi…

Ahoy to all. Apologies to all who have been wondering where I've been. My comp is in the shop getting fixed as it has unfortunately obtained at VERY nasty torjan virus (package as I call it since nigh 200 spyware, viruses, trojans, etc showed up). I'm at the local Library checking email swiftly. It will be a couple more days before I am back on... at least. I'm hoping I may be back online this weekend. Hoping is the key word. :::knocks on the wood of the Black Pearl::: Shall see th' lot of ye soon. ~Lady B

I'm the latest new guy in port. My wife and I went to our first ren faire and pirate festival last year. We live just North of San Diego. I have decided that I’m not much into the “ren faire look” and would much rather be a pirate. I have a bit kit of kit in progress. Linen shirt is finished and another in the works, poorly sized and constructed slops finished, new canvas trousers in the works, Fugawee buckle shoes, and a tricorn from Capt. Jack is on the way and a short jacket is also in the works (needing some button from GoF). I hope to meet some of you this coming year. We hope to attend Ojai and if there is a repeat of the festival in Vista we will be…

It be PyratePhil's birthday today! Tis a shame tho he has not been seen on-line since September of last year. I had discovered he avoided going on-line due to being stalked. That really sucks! Well, Phil, wherever you are I hope you have a great day and don't stay gone for too long.

I be the Capn. of the H.M.S. Vulture now located in central Florida. My home port is the Bay Area Renaissance Festival others wise known as BARF. I have been involved with Renfaires in one way of another for 15 years. I have been a pyrate at heart since the day of me conception 40 plus years ago. Some say that I am as strong willed as a ragging bull and come off at times like a cannon ball on fire. I am always truthful , sometimes blunt and to the point, and never been accused of sugarcoating the truth. I will stand behind anyone if I believe they are correct , but will tell the same person when they are wrong, as I expect others to do for me. I am a la…

Well now it's my turn for surgery. On Thursday morning, Feb. 19th, my back will be operated on. No one has seen me since Ojai last year and since then, the pain has been horrendeous, walking is more like Frankenstein. It turns out that bone has grown to the point of almost severing my spinal cord and two vertabrae are out of kilter. Originally the doc was hoping just removal of the bone would do the trick - a two hour operation but, after seeing the new X-rays today has changed that to a four hour operation. I will have to have the vertabrae fused and pins and a rod put in. Now I'm only suppose to be in the hospital overnight providing no problems, so keep you're f…

As all the ADMIN and MODS are aware I wanted the rest of you to know as well, I am scheduled to have surgery on Tuesday the 17th of this month to remove the tumors that cause me to be severely anemic. It's been a long time coming and im eager to be well again and drive everyone nuts. I will be in Round Rock hospital for a couple of days and I will have someone post room numbers and such when Im in a room. Thank you for all the prayers and support, sometimes that kept me going when I felt I could not on my own. Blessings to all, Syren
