Great pic!! I hope you do well on it.. they need all the funding they can get. there was also a Mugs for Jugs at the MNRF. They raised money for Breast Cancer also.. I have my Pirates Think Pink on myspace, and it was mentioned on Talk Like a Pirate day site. http://www.myspace.com/piratesthinkpink there is also Save the Boobies fund also. every bit helps; 1 in 7 women are getting some form of breast cancer now. They aren't sure if its because more women are getting breast cancer or its being detected earlier.

I was lucky and stayed in a hotel the year I went. Staying the fort was NOT an option. If I go, I'll be thrilled to meet you finally, Silkie!

thank you, Callenish.. I was hopin you would offer! I can't wait to meet THE Saltypots. and of course Hammish! I just got a couple of bills for my surgeries.. so I'm not sure if I can make it. $45,000 pre-insurance. Yeowwza. I'll let you know asap.

I don't know many Tangled Shrews but I did have a mole under me tent last month.. welcome to the pub, ye fine lass!, and I"ll have a rum and cranberry.. called a pirates blush!

welcome back, lass.. I see you followed your compass!

I have a Little something for the wee one.. or should I say.. wee-wee one! If all goes as wished, I might go to Key West this PIP, but just got my first bill for $40,000 pre-insurance. I got one for $600 after insurance and I HAVE to find a place to live. This house will cost me too much to fix. and I"m still not sleeping more then 4-5 hours a night.

my own verse... if all the young laddies wore crushed velvet tights.. I'd work my magic and they'd become FELT over night.... throw your leg over, its better that way

thank ya, matey.. looks like a good time was had, many smiles and lots of BOOM! I missed seeing the Musical Blades! Grand folks they are... sorry to have missed ya all, but many someday in the near future.

great pics, but what the heck was in the Guinness?? I had a grand time but I forgot to bring my cards out and have a hand of poker or something.. I must say, we are a handsome crew!

woohoo!! its his berthday and he's pretty too! (or was that the shark?) many more to ya, Pete, and may they all have Pirates' Choice rum!

glad to finally meet ya, and have ya around! I think the ship won't be the same with ya on board!

I had breast cancer this year too.. its hard to fight and it just tires you all the time. but its worth it to have another year, month, day.. good luck with your crew and friends.

tattoo.. and Happy Berthday, Pete!! May all the wind at your back be yours! and many more...

I have a strong grip.. in a velvet glove. literally.

I can't believe I'm thinking of this, but I found a flight for under $500 from MN to KW.. and my last big vacation was 2004 at KW. I'm just wondering about lodging and just what days do I want to be at KW?? That is for Wednesday to Monday... I would miss the Wench contest if I went Thursday, tho.. :angry: and I would have to get the time off work (damn surgery) can anyone help me with info and lodging?

beautiful sword.. wishing I could own one but not with my bills.. ah well.. its still a beauty!

BUMP.. join us at the Minnesota Ren faire, Saturday at 10 am at Mac's Pub. Be there or be squire.

Irish.. are ya saying you have a leprochaun dingle?? that all us lasses have to do is grab your sprite and make a wish?? and in my usual offbeat way, may I say.. TASTE THE RAINBOW! Ransom luv, had a weird thing happen today. I found some old mail that hadn't been opened since May. One was a check from my insurance for $250 (yeah!!) and the other a note that my mamogram was irregular and needed another shot of my chest.. it was from 4 days before I had my phone call about the cancer. If I hadnt' had the phone call to have me come in for more tests, I would have left it go for another 4 months. And this is why the rum is gone.

sweet kisses

I should be in bed for my 5 am wake up.. but I wanted to say congrats on your home, Rumba! Siren, you know you have my support and my good wishes.. if that can help. Jill, sounds like a grand time! I'm sure you will remember your excitement for a long time. anyway, I'm doing better; my tendonitis in my shoulder is going away, I dont have cancer that spread to my bones, I dont have much extra money but I can pay my bills, I have another faire this weekend and then get to see friends in MNRF the week after.. so its all good!! woohoo!

I still cant go, but I was wondering who all will be there? If BO shows, have him tip a drink fer me.

don't make me go piratical on your a$$, Jack!

not a true replica.. You have a good eye, Silkie! On the pics I got from my crew member, its not close to a replica ship and its more kids oriented, but he said was still fun.

Merrydeath sips her sangria, motions to Ray for another drink and tells the passing waitress to send over some sopapillas with chocolate. along with the others, she will listen for a while, with her knife off peace-tie.
