Great! Quick, Silkie, hide those shorts!

I don't have pics downloaded for Carter's book yet, but I have this one I did for Oderlesseye's book. Carters is a bit smaller, as his book was smaller, and instead of a ship in the center, there is a skull and crossbones. Each ring turns, as does the little boat. It's not a donut. The blue circle under the boat is a seperate piece sitting on top of the other two, and which turns like the others. I'm making one for each art journal book, but each will be a bit different, depending on the person whose book it is. Hope you weren't thinking it was a REAL navagation chart. LOL These are just for fun, and a take-off on the POTC movie nav chart.

Edited due to......*&^%&^$ double post

Flaming is so good, with so many things — desserts, booze, broiling...........ships, towns.

Just finished putting together the navagation chart for Skull Pyrate Carter's art journal. Now it's time for some....hmmm, maybe hot chocolate and Tattoo?

Awww, come on. You know you miss him.

Some of you may know this already, but I just talked to CBIL the other day, and he wanted to know if the PR story was still going. I told him, "Limping along slowly, but still alive." He requested that we keep it going, and he will be back, with Le Corp in tow as soon as he can. He has been off-line due to a move, and a crashed computer. The move is pretty much done. Now he needs to address the computer situation. Anyway, CBIL, Burke, and friends, will be back in the story eventually. R

Congratualtions, and very best wishes to you both, and for your future together!

You know, I'm actually recovered enough that I might be able to taste those! Looks pretty killer!

I downloaded the English font, and finally figured out how to get it in my font book. However, even though it shows that it's there, I only get the top half of the letters when I try and use it, and the italic and bold set don't show up on the font list, even though in the font book it says they are there. Any ideas? BTW, I have a Mac OSX.

Say an extra prayer of thanks to those guardian angels! So glad to hear you and the lad are okay, and no one hurt. Some people really do need to be flogged...and then have their driver's license taken away.

Thanks, Carter. I got Black Mabs book today. Very kewl stuff in there...and great cover! Carter's book will be done by this weekend, and on its way to Patrick by Monday or Tuesday. And PEW, no fair sealing those envelopes with wax so's the rest of us can't read wots inside um!

Wow, ummm, gee, I kinda like that stuff...a lot! Yeah, some of it is a little too "out there" but taken piece by piece (the jackets, pants, belts, shoes, hats), there are a lot of kewl things I'd wear in a heartbeat. Life is too short...clothes should be fun. And if they are a bit piraty, so much the better. And I'm no size 0 Spring chicken. I'm a mature, size 4/6, wise ol' hen! The thing you have to remember about runway shows is that they are theater. In real life, those clothes would not be worn that way. You pick a few pieces and combine them with what you already have in your closet. As for the guys, Gaultier does men's wear as well, so you might see something for you after all! Ck out your nearest GQ magazine! LOL And yeah, Red Cat, hats are kewl...very kewl!

I will stand with Dorian and Capt. Sterling outside the Kate, and sip my congratulatory glass of champagne to the new arrival. That way I will not infect anyone with this gastly virus that has me in its grip. Cheers to Aeva, who like all children of Pub parents, has an untold number of pyrate aunties and uncles.

Tea and cold drugs The sun...for a change. My Dad, to wish him a happy birthday. Uncle JT

Oooh, I hate her! (Not really, that's just jealosy raising its ugly head! )

Wait.....who, Phoebe or JT?

NAY!! She LOVES to pose (she's a born ham...) Gets it from her Uncle Jacky-Tar I think. Ye know, I've been accused o' bein' a monkey's uncle but never Phoebe's uncle? I'm honored that ye see any resemblance, at all! Give Phoebe an her mom a big hug from me. Why Jacky Luv, I didn't know you and Phoebe were related! ::Looks at picture of Phoebe, then looks at picture of JT:: Okay, maybe there is a little something about the eyes.....Soulful. (Sorry JT. I wasn't going to comment, but then, I just couldn't resist it! )

No thanks, I've seen enough snot lately, thank you ever so much.

After the ship had changed course, I called the men to the foredeck and let them know exactly where we were going and why. When I'd finished, I asked, "Any man here familier with those waters?" No one spoke up. Then, a bit hesitantly, the new man, Colard, stepped forward. "If'n it please, Ma'am, I've sailed inta that port. Oh, it's been a good while back, some seven years, but I dare say I'd remember. Nae much there, as I recall, and swampy. Had a wee bit o' trouble with fever and lost a few, but nae sae much more as any t'other place." "Well, Mr. Dysart, I may call on your services when we get closer to port. If, in the meantime, you think of anything else I should know about the place, then come see me." The old man knuckled his forehead. "I'll do that, Ma'am." When the men had gone back to their duties, Africa commented, "Oh dat fine. You take us to a place of fever. If Dat Man don shoot you, you die sweatin' in your bed. We all die sweatin' in our beds." I replied sweetly, "If you don't stop your whining, I'll shoot you where you stand, and you won't have to worry about dying of fever."

Mostly still blowing my nose and couging.

Prayers and all good wishes for Salty, and hope of a speedy recovery.

Okay, Bess, I gotta ask. Who dusts your office?
