I'm sorry Patrick that I made you feel so bad, but I have to admit, I admire you so much I wanted to give you all sorts of goodies because of it. I didn't want you to think you didn't deserve it, because you did and I still feel you do! You are a wonderful person who has talents far beyond anything I can do and I respect you for it. So don't feel ashamed or embarrassed because I sent you so much. It's the kind of person I am, I love to give especially when I have so much to give of myself to those who I feel deserve it. So don't ever feel bad if you get lots of goodies from me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Regarding Lady Cassandra's question, I will be drawing names after Thanksgiving and then you'll get a PM from me with who will the person you will be a Santa for. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coastie, I still need your address. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remember, the deadline to join in is Wednesday, Nov.25, the day before Thanksgiving.

A friend of mine sells the Starfire swords at S.Faire at the Santa Fe Dam site in the spring, and he swears by them for combat.

Badger, did you check the box that says "remember me" under the login? If not, do so, then you'll be able to come and go at will. Though I have to admit, sometimes when Boats has had to put new programs onto the computer or Stynky does something here to change things, it screws up my getting into the Pub and I have to fiddle around to get back in. Funny how I don't have this problem with any other site I go to...arrgghhh. One of these days in the future we'll get a new computer...ours is something like 10 years old and putting new programs on just makes it take longer to for everything to come up when I turn the thing on....like anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes! Now trust me that's ridiculous and we know it. But $$ is hard to come by these days when making house payments and such - getting a new computer will just have to wait until it blows up or something.

End of the world? What are we all gonna do without the Pub?

Well I had this really bad picture of Oderlesseye sitting at a pretty table trying to drink tea with his pinky finger sticking out and around the table Capt. Syn with Blackthorne are also trying to do it. Yup, that's a pretty laughable picture.... Ah that's it, really mugs of beer!

I take it that you are doing these things at the studio?

Honestly, if the stays were my size I would have bought that corset in an instant.

Yes it's that time of year when we get all funny and creepy and travel through Mission's haunted house of chills and thrills. May you all have a safe Samhain and Halloween! Rumba Rue

It's that time again, this year the faire opens on Halloween, Oct.31, and trick-or-treat bags will be given to all the kids and they can get goodies from the vendors and guilds at the event. All guests are encouraged to come in costume and enjoy the atmosphere that is totally incredible at this site. I will be selling my wares - be sure and get your copy of "Raising the Black Flags, Poetry for and by Pirates," from me with no shipping charges! I can be found right across from the ale garden with my friend Dawn (who sells jewelry)along the sidewalk, so be sure and look for me! Rumba Rue

Truly having a miracle happen! On Oct. 16th our former roommate's cat got out and ran away. We thought for sure the cat was coyote food, as the coyotes were out and very close by. Then on Saturday (Oct.24th) around 5:30 in the morning I got up to do my business, then took a cruise around the house and just happened to look out the sun room window and I saw a cat that looked just like Joy, and I said in surprise, "Joy?" Then the cat ran away, and I thought I must have been hallucinating as I am on stronger drugs these days. So I told Boats about it and I swear on a stack of Bibles I saw that cat.... Well on Sunday night Boats just happen to look out the dining room window and said, "There's a white cat by the bird bath." I said that had to be Joy, so he went out the back door and I went out the front and we looked for the cat and met at the door to the sun room, no cat. So I got all the other cats out of the sun room, left the door open and sat in the dark for a long time hoping the cat would come in, he didn't. So last night (Oct.26) I put out a dish with just a tiny amount of dry food on the porch area, then left the door open a bit and put a dish of wet food inside where he'd have to come in to eat it. After a while I heard one of our cats make a noise at the sun room sliding door to the rest of the house and I asked Boats who was at the computer to check out of the corner of his eye and see if the cat was in the sun room, he was! So I quickly got up, went out the kitchen door, around the back of the house and just as I started up the stairs to the sun room, the cat poked his head out and saw me. Now he could have easily run past me, but instead, he turned and ran further into the room. I rushed in and closed the door...we now have the missing cat back, a little skinny and dirty, but thankfully not hurt. I am so grateful that the Goddess answered my prayers! Rumba

What a great find! Curious if anyone has ordered anything from them, would like to check them out to see if there's any complaints before one should plop money down on them. Better safe than sorry.

Oh how wonderful; :) Were you able to get published? Yes as a matter of fact, you can find my writings in the book, "Raising the Black Flags, Poetry For and By Pirates" edited by Stephan Sanders.

To PM a person, click on their name above their avatar, and it will bring you to their personal page. You will see an area to the left under the picture that says, "send me an email", that's a PM. Yes, I did forget to mention that this is open to Pub members who have been here at least one month or longer. Though I will make exceptions to the rule as with Badger. (Man you owe me! LOL) Rumba *Note: Badger just joined my pirate group "Pirates of Treasure Cove" at the Escondido Ren-faire.

Welcome from across the 'pond'. I'm sure you'll find plenty here to learn about and I suggest you check out the Twill forum.

Welcome to the Pub! Aye we've got many writers here, myself included.

Yes we've had some problems in the past with people who just came onto the board, but I know you've been around for awhile, maybe not at the Pub... Anyway I'm going to let it go and I need your address so please PM me. Thank you, Rumba

If you are interested in participating, please go to the Crow's Nest and read the thread there by me for further info. Rumba Rue

Yup, it's that time again. Things to remember: 1. There is no price limit 2. Be sure and get your gift to your person in a timely manner Every year we have 1 or 2 people who slack off and don't get their gifts in the mail until after Christmas and some have never received anything. This really isn't a good way to be a good pirate, so if you're in money straights, please don't sign up for this. 3. Names will be drawn randomly, if you have participated in the past, I may still have your address, if you have moved, give me your new one - PM me for that. 4. The cut off date for participating is November 25 (the day before Thanksgiving) in order for all who wish to participate to have time to get gifts and sent to the snail mail. I will PM you as to who you will be a Secret Santa for on the 28th of Nov. Any further questions, feel free to ask. Rumba Rue

If'n ye get a chance make it to the Escondido Faire Oct.31-Nov.1, and Nov.6-7, it's a great faire and worth it! Escondido Faire Oh and welcome back to the Pub!!

Been on a long voyage ye have, welcome back to the Pub!

This is the most amazing artist I have ever seen!!!! This is AWESOME!!!

No costumes required for pictures. Some here don't do the dress-up bit, just like to read the info.

It saddens my heart to hear a child with something that only the 'higher powers' can do anything about. I honestly don't know what else to say at this time, other than please keep your heart strong for him and I will do the same.

I'm for Tim Curry.
