Mary Diamond

Thank you both ~ I have a lovely setting, but am going through fits trying to find a cab that size, that isn't jade or turquoise or agate.

(popping in, a bit flustered)

Oi! Not a full-blown jeweler, but I have been known to piece together a thing or two. Any chance you've seen 27mm cabochons, preferably faceted? Having a devil of a time locating one...

Mission and Capt. Jim ~ I'll just sit a miniature of each of them on Mark's shoulders, to let them whisper in his ear. (a la POTCAWE, or, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back)

I'll let everyone else decide who gets the horns.

My Dearest Mark requires shoulder surgery this Friday for a torn rotator cuff and SLAP tear (both in the right shoulder) ~ too much volleyball, and we aren't as young as we used to be.

I'll be happy to take over the treatment when he gets to PiP. (He doesn't actually need his arm, does he?)

HHmmm...Ship's doctor Mission to take over treatment...as I have said before, the loss of a limb only enhances your portrayal of a Pyrate character.

Mary, next time don't SLAP him so hard...and not with the cast-iron frying pan...

Mark's response ~

I looked up our insurance and it strictly states that Mission performing any medical work would void any payments or warranty.

Aye, Silkie, I'll leave him to you and the girls ~ mind you well, though...

I WANT HIM BACK!

Yes, Please, I would like to participate ~ I will PM you with the particulars.

Yes, please. I shall also respond to the other thread.

Good News! Good News!!!

After a bit of Bad News ~

My Dearest Mark requires shoulder surgery this Friday for a torn rotator cuff and SLAP tear (both in the right shoulder) ~ too much volleyball, and we aren't as young as we used to be.

The Good News ~ the surgeon allowed him to still go on Vacation! He has to wear a sling 8 hours a day, but I am happy he will still be able to attend.

Aye, Mark and myself will also require a tree or 2 to tie off to ~ a makeshift tent of a canvas sheet for us.

No peeking!

In which case, He may require protection from Them!

*sigh ~ Poor Mission, in his interminable search for that lovely bone saw.

But...

Yay! Greg, so happy to hear you are alive, if bleeding a bit ('tis a mere flesh wound, right?), and will be making it to PiP! I look forward to seeing you there, and spending more money on your lovely wares.

YHS,

Mary

OI! No pettin' behind the dorsal fin, there, M.A.d'Dogge ~ they'll take a likin' to you.

Count me in ~

YAY! So happy you can make it ~

I guess the only question is ~

Where are you two sleeping?

Do we need to post a guard?

My dear Ladies...

Scoot over!

This is as fyne an entertaining evening as I have had in many ~

Gentlemen ~ as you were...

I took the opportunity last week to vote early ~ it took a bit longer than getting a flu shot, but was less painful. Which is not to say that I didn't wake up with my usual post-election day jitters ~ I do so hope this is the change I have been waiting for.

I find it reassuring how the world is celebrating this election ~ perhaps good things are in store.

My most sincere Best Wishes to You for another Happy Year ~

Happy Belated Birthday!

Ah, I should have been more specific (meaning a Photo in her profile). Nonetheless, thank you! I admit, I haven't been able to keep up with all the posts as much as I would like, so I try to keep up with the ones I can.

Good Evening, Lady B ~

I'm newly in need of a hand fan, as my lovely beagle decided I had conveniently left her a stick to chew on. Would you happen to have one?

Also, any small personal items to part with? Porte crayon, etcetera?

Post a Photo of yourself, dear, so we might know who to look for ~

Thanks for the compliments!

Arguably talented, perhaps, but sadly insane. I won't even tell you how much that thing cost to make. (Actually, I have refused to figure it out.) I'd always wanted one since I saw a full-sized latex costume at the Halloween Show in Chicago in 1997. (If I remember the price rightly, it would have been a bargain...) Still, it's nice to see a dream come true. I do so love designing and creating weird things.

Ah, Mission, you never cease to amaze me. I wish I lived closer ~ would love to see the Mad Scientist/Chirurgeon at work.

Oops! Deleted ~ Double Post.

Good Evening, Dearest Fayma!

Mark and I will be arriving early(ish) Wednesday, driving down from Miami.

Perhaps those small holes were for wire rings, attached to a fine chain?

I am so sorry to hear of your loss ~

Strength and peace to you in your time of need ~ my thoughts are with you.

Thank you, Harry and Nigel! I only bring up the signage, as our location was commented on by visitors from last year ~ "We didn't know there was anything out here. What are you doing?"
