I would be there, but unfortunatly I've been sick all week with a cold. Didn't want to take the chance of getting overheated and making it worse, or giving it to someone else. So's I'm stayin' home. Just as well, the tempeture's suppose ta be in the high 90's today. Arrrgggghhhh, not the thing that wants ta get me all dressed up in my finery. RumbaRue **Plan to be spontaneous, tomorrow**

I bought my first frock coat pattern from Jas Townsend & Son, then shortly thereafter, found virutally the same thing for a lot less at Jo Anns fabric store. It's a Butterick pattern - number P203. It includes not only the pattern for the coat, but patterns for the vest, shirt, and breeches. Though the look is more Colonial, it can easily be adapted to an earlier time period. The frock coat I'm currently working on, is a gentelman's coat so it won't have the big sleeve cuffs that you'd find on the more piratey Captian's coats. The reason for this choice is because I plan to use it for more than just pirate stuff, I like to make my costumes adaptable for other character uses.

Ah, New Zealand, a place I'd like to visit someday - in my dreams of course! I never take my dreams seriously, they are more like Saturday morning cartoons! Can't think o' anythin' worse than seein' Sponge Bob at the helm of a sailin' ship and Peter Pan flyin' about. Hmmmm, Tinkerbell musta been dishin' out an extra dose o' flyin' fairy powder. But hey since I'm on a roll, there be little munchkins actin' as crew and killer tomatoes threatenin' them with squishy innards o' the chicken that didn't make it across the road, and of course, the rum barrel walkin' the decks handin' out ladles of intoxicatin' liquore to the munchkins. Guess that's why they keep goin'on 'bout singin' somethin' bout a yellow brick road. Meanwhile the Capt. is in his cabin with the hooka, swappin' stories with Charlie Brown 'bout a great pumpkin. The bilge rats, Tom and Jerry, are dancin' a jig down in the hold, flingin' the weevils from the flour around, and chewing the fat with a jawa, 'bout some guy named Solo and the bath rug he carries around he calls a Wookie. Up in the crow's nest ol' Peter Pan is still flyin' 'round figurin' how ta stop sayin' "Away we go!" And the ship o' fools sails off inta one hell o' mind bender! RumbaRue **I love the voices in my head...someone has to**

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Be sure and blow the foam off yer ale for a big wish! RumbaRue **Oy oh oh (Dyslexic Pyrate)**

I read that letter on another site this mornin' . I only went once to N. Faire when it was still in Novato. It was ok, but the uphill grind into the two canyons was way too much for me and lots o' others who were in wheelchairs and walkin' with canes an' such. I can't say much else 'bout it, but hey there's other faires ta go to. RumbaRue **The woods be cold, and closing in, to be swallowed into the deepest, part of the forest, where the fairies once danced. Now only the fungus thrives.**

Hmmm, ye didn't tell me it was yer birthday when ye sent me that oh so private email - heheeeeee! So from me own present of mind and a hearty mug o' rum to ye, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! RumbaRue **Now remember, ye must pillage first, burn last!**

Thanks Donna, uh er I mean Capt. Grey. I do need some boots and those certianly fit the bill. Unfortunatly my cash flow has become a bit nill until after the first of November. Arrrggghhhh, but in any case I'll still try and see if there's any left in my size ( I wear a wide width- 9) when I get there. RumbaRue **To infintiy and beyond!**

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Aye ye be lucky Penny, for it be another year gone by, and more ta look forward to. Plus all those pennies ye find that someone dropped can become 'lucky pennies' for ye. RumbaRue **Sew a little here, sew a little there, stiches in time**

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Now I hope you got to use Mr. Bubbles diligently for that clean fresh bubbly feeling! LOL! RumbaRue **The Jolly Roger Boarding Party and Glee Club**

Nice ta know someone beside me likes their 'special' tabbacky. I needs it for medical reasons I won't go into publickly. RumbaRue **Live Long and Prosper**

Hmmmm, me name's there on that list ....somewhere.... Oh well, I never tell me secrets. RumbaRue Woman Eentitled to Nights of Complete Happiness

Thinking along similar lines. It wouldn't surprise me, if Will Turner finds his dad alive and well living in New Orleans! RumbaRue **Never judge a ship by it's guns, but by the skill of the crews**

Let me tell ye me friend, ye be takin' on a firery dragon if'n ye want ta do a fair. It takes LOTS of money, most o' it up front. It also takes a whole lot of ADVERTISING in order ta get people ta come. I have to admit though, I doubt I'd be travelin' to the San Fran area of Calif., as doubloons aren't in me pocket much. *Just an added note here, the twit who started the Corona Fair here, has tried over and over to get people to his fair, but it has failed badly. Why? The major problem is he is trying to take business away from S. Faire which runs consectivly during the same time. The other problem is the guy himself. He has lost more vendors and customers by his poor attitude and inability to run the place properly. He has gone bankrupt trying to keep this alive, but unfortunatly, it will die... and I doubt anyone would notice it gone. So if'n I were ye, I'd be thinkin' twice 'bout this idea o' yers. I'm not tryin' to say no don't do it, but ye gots to be aware of the mighty high price it takes, not just only in yer pocketbook, but on yer sanity as well. RumbaRue **Pillage first, burn last**

Dissapointment isn't even the word I'd give S. Faire these days.....it SUCKS is more like it! Where did everybody go you ask, well, as I said, the politics became so bad, lots and lots o' people, like me left for better grounds. I went a year ago, and couldn't believe how 'santitized' it had become. It's just AWFUL! I won't be goin' back. No I wasn't involved in the costume stuff back in Agoura. The only reason I got into working the costume shed the first season as San Bernadino, well, it's who you know.....I'll leave it at that. Ah, Capt. Grey us Force users aren't just your regular ol' bin o' apples. RumbaRue **I can imagine quite a lot**

Wheeeeeee! Gosh the story I've written many, many years ago (rated X), 'bout me character is sort of similar. I actually got the orginal manuscript copywrited. But so far, I've had little time to work on the story. Someday I'll get back to it.... RumbaRue **I use to have a handle on life, now all I got is the mug**

Know them is an understatement. When the fair moved to San Bernadino, I worked in the costume department, and yes I had to be a 'costume nazi' as I was checkin' people's costumes to make sure they were acceptable. Phyllis just pissed everybody off- one day she came into the costume shed with a couple of male guests and took two really nice men's shirts that were assigned to two stage players, and GAVE them to her guests as GIFTS! Talk about some pissed costume shed workers... But the real hellion is Leslie Patterson....Personally I don't even want to talk about the grief she gave me and others...it's really, really, really, bad. There's no way on this Earth that I would go to any of the fairs run by the Patterson clan. *The best times o' me life were when I was workin' the fair when it be up in Agoura. I belonged to St. Cuthbert's Guild, till the fair moved locale, and by then I was unable to keep up with the parading around the guild required, so then I worked the costume department for a season, then worked for a vendor for a few years, then went into the Military Guild as a serving wench in the Queen's Guard, where I finally said, "adios" to all the bull after eight years.

As the owner of a small Senegal parrot, all that article says is true. But the reason most birds - usally cockatoos, pull out their feathers is because they aren't getting enough attention. Parrots of all kinds are very demanding in attention, and can't be ignored. Though, I do let me bird eat a number of things (sweets too), chocolate and avacodos can be deadly to them. Yup, birds are messy, I keep a very clean home and vacuum a lot! If anyone is interested in getting a parrot of any kind, be sure and do LOTS of reading about the type of bird you are interested in before buying one. Also remember, those birds will OUTLIVE you! Better be sure there's someone whom you can give the bird to after you're gone. That be my problem right now, no (sucker) person I know wants a bird. RumbaRue **I'd rather be training cabin boys**

Well ye see, I started out workin' the S. Fair in Agoura, CA. then when the fair moved to San Bernadino, I was there for many years, before leavin'. One o' the problems with that particular fair includin' N. Fair that ye went to, is the polictics and costume nazi's are very strict. There's been a great many o' people who 'ave left because o' that bull. I do know that Slo Fair up in San Luis Obispo, CA. doesn't allow pirate groups of any kind to do their fair. They want to keep it all Reniassacy and stuff. Even the recent Ojai fair which use to be called a "pirate fair" has been changed to a 'Ren-fair with a pirate flair'. The person in charge o' that fair gots many, many complaints 'bout why there was Queen Elizabeth at a pirate fair. Well, by changin' the name a tad, the 'in charge person' suits 'is own fancy. I 'ave been to the Arizona Ren-fair and found it to be really good (I love the Ded Bob show), and politically incorrect I think be their motto. I am plannin' on goin' again next year (it's been two years since I first went), sometime in Feb. or March. Their fair runs weekends from Feb. through the end o' March. I prefer the smaller fairs (such as the Escondio Ren-fair) as they be much more fun, more intimate and a closeness to the vendors and guests that attend. One can get o' big burn out when doin' too many, an' perhaps expectin' too much. RumbaRue **What part of Arrrgggghhhh, don't you understand?**

I can do green really, really well. But watch out, I may mess up the decks before reachin' the sea! LOL! Trust me, I speak from experiance! RumbaRue **When everything's coming up green, get outta the way!**

Lots o' pictures there! Arrggghhhh, it took forever for 'em to download. My favorite is the ship, I am assumin' is built around a wagon. Is that a Jack Sparrow doll? RumbaRue **Flogging is only the beginning**

Personally, I think a working cannon would suit me just fine. RumbaRue **No problem that can't be solved by the proper application of black powder** :angry:
