Wow! Some of you women out there are pretty bitter! You must have really been wronged by some guy.... Do you knock those of us here who attend festivals and reenactments? Would you have us have fleas and disease for that? Should we reenact as it were exactly? I would imagine then that there would be no Renissance festivals and such then. And for the one who posted about rape, OBVIOUSLY no woman would want that, but then again, no one would want to be abducted by aliens r/t , but there are many groups and novels that are all about that, do you knock them too for having fantasies? What about all the fantasy forums on the internet, do you knock all of those people as well? For many this is a "safe" escape from reality. I am guessing that if you don't agree with them, you don't visit the site. Luckily we, at least I, live in a free country. GOD BLESS THE USA! A fantasy is exactly what the fantasizer chooses, not anyone else. There are all types of romance books out there, obviously there is a demand for them. Obviously in r/t, Fabio is not going to come and wisk me away, so do you think it is wrong to fantasize about that too? Sorry for carrying on so, but I get offended when people critisize others. It is our different beliefs, whether they be r/t of fantasy that makes the world go 'round. Our differences make us doctors, lawyers, teachers, plumbers, mechanics, entertainers, writers, etc. I believe the original post here referred to a romance novel, and simpler times. The poster also wondered if others shared the same fantasizes, ones of a life long ago, in a kinder and simpler world, NOT if you didn't. ANd for the poster who said she should ahve referred to her post as a historical romance novel times, why get so technical when you know what tie idea is? Why be negative and nit-pick just to nit-pick?! Again, I'm sorry if I seem, well, angry, I guess I just am angry at any prejudices. Perhaps I would do well to keep quiet.....

WOW! There are sure alot of negative people out here! Fantasize or romantisize means just that, the postive, carefreeness of it. I don't know anyone who fantasizes about filth, disease of lice, etc. I think that all y'all negative nellies should go and read yourself a good old historical romance book LOL! We all need a little excape from reality now and then! Cheers!

can anyone tell me how to get it from my computer to here LOL! It's really funny!

Rape and pillage. Using the same weapons they used on men? That is my question. Guns and Swords? BTW, is that a nipple ring in your pix, Thor? If so, very hot!

There was something I read recently, but with all that's been going on, I can't remember what it was that I read. It was comparing pirates in a way to the old viking warriors, and their methods of brutality, etc. The always showed and talked about the pirates and their swords and guns killing a man, but what did they use or do to the women they came across. Nothing about women was ever mentioned? Or, were there no women around where a pirate would have been? Or perhaps, back then, women were not worthy of being mentioned.

Thanks everyone! My Ph.D is in ... Political Science (YAWN!) I teach political science now at a local community college, and i guess i could be considered a professor, but I'm not ready for anyone to call me professor LOL! I can't tell you how relieved I am that it's finally over after years of research LOL! What do do now?! Go out and celebrate and get good and drunk!

I've finally completed my Ph.D !!!!!! I am so excited and relieved. Now I will have some of my free and fun time back! I've miss everyone here and all of the fun topics. My b/f is happy to finally have me back. A little TOO happy as the clamps were way too tight. "OUCH!"

Are you still here Atlantic Enchantress? Sorry I haven't had time to write in awhile, you know how it is so busy around this time of year! Merry Christmas to you, and happy holidays to everyone too!

Thanks Captain William. My computer crashed awhile ago, and I'm on a new one now. Lost all my pictures, and I don't have a scanner (a little behind on the times!) I'm hoping for a digital camera for X-mas, then I'll post a new one!

I am still interested, Ryalsist, but have had no takers to share one with me here!

Why thank you Capt. WIlliam! I didn't think anyone even knew I was gone. I think that here either you are "in" or you are "out" LOL! I guess I felt like "out". Hopefully the Enchantress doesn't feel that way too. Thanks for the update El pirata. Maybe I'll send her a PM. Thanks for the responses

She is a great person, fun to pm with here! Haven't seen any postings from her in awhile, just hoping all iw well. Please let me know. Thanks!

Am I the only one here... Who has never been aboard a pirate ship? Who has never met a pirate? All my life I have been interested in Pirates. I must admit that most of my fascination comes from reading romance novels LOL! The domineering captain and his captive innocent. In all honesty, you learn alot about pirates, their ships, and the era of time from these novels. In HS and college I wrote papers on famous pirates. I would be interested in learning about how you came to be, and about how I can come to be! Thanks and salute

I will be off to the beach in a few minutes for my morning jog. I also hope to spend my day at the ocean, as I so often do. A group of us are going to meet there tonight and have a bon-fire and some drinks and music!

You are right about that LOL!!!
