My next post, heavily preceded by disclaimers and apologies to anyone who might take offense at my having read information from a non-sancitoned source, was to be a reference to sumptuary laws and pirates, from a Web site called Elizabethan Era: ... which actually corroborates the information given already by Kass, Foxe, GoF and others, about the Captain's clothing versus the ordinary seaman's, but I hadn't gotten that far.

Wellll, I wasn't really using one quote to deny your intellect, education, experience and abilities. I sure hope you're not doing to same to mine. In my attempt to make up for whatever historical ignorance Americans like myself are guilty of, I've been doing some reading (imagine, an American reading a book!), and came across that "drivel." Now, I didn't know a the time it was drivel, thinking instead it was somewhere between the Divine Word of God and an Archies comic book, but since it seemed to be reasonably researched and reviews of it didn't call it total crap, I thought I'd give it a go. I supose I should have posted a quick, "This is an interesting quote, will post more questions and observations when my hands recouperate from typing the whole thing out," but I didn't. So, there it is, aparently, a quote from a piece of shite book taken as an attack on Kass, and casting doubt on my own intellectual abilities. When will I ever learn?

I'm planning on being there, stationwagon permitting. Where does one get a list of area oubs going along with the piratical theme?

Eleven tattoos! I'm impressed! I've broken the same toe three times.

I have friends who told me they felt relief when their parents finally decided on divorce. I have friends who stayed together "for the sake of the kids" only to find out when their kids were grown that they'd wished their parents would just divorce and get it over with. Point is, I don't think we can predict how our kids will feel, and as long as we let them know they are free to come and talk about how they feel, we have to take their reations at face value. As long as both parents are on the look out for "acting out" behavior for attention, I'd just trust your children to roll with the situation as it occurs. Keep checking in with them to see how they're doing, make sure they know you're there for them and will put them first. Kids are resilient and resourceful, and since you and their mom seem to be good parents, they'll get what they need to get through this.

That's not my cat.

But, Rue, if we wrote in English, you'd find all the cuss words and edit them out!

If the flux capacitor isn't online by next week, me and Joshua are just going to have dig up the graves of some pirates and check for the footware. If they're not wearing boots OR shoes, then we'll know that Pirates Were Barefoot. When dead and buried, at least. Or rather, when buried, because they might have been buried alive.

Okay, that's the way I feel when someone makes fun of my lack of authenticity. I'm trying to get a thicker skin, yes, but at least it's good to know that even someone with your experience and knowledge can have the same reaction.

Odd, I used the same URL at work, and at home. Works fine in the office, but the code is all messed up on the PC at home. I'll try it again tonight. Thanks all, for your help.

Well, okay, but just you, cuz it's the Delorean model, two-seater.

I'm just waiting on a parts order for my flux capacitor, then I'll just go back and settle this once and for all.

I own eleven pairs of Doc Marten maryjanes.
