Christine Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 Ooooh...how could I forget this! Just this past Thursday the alarm down by my desk went off. This was for the smoke alarm. I looked to see that it was one of the rooms in the ALZ unit (ah, my favorite area...NOT!). So I called up to ask if everything was okay and told them the alarm was set off. They checked and said all was well. It was in an unused room. Actually it was one where no one has occupied yet. Weird! I switched off the alarm then and for awhile all was good again. The alarm went off again, same room. Again, nothing wrong. We started to freak, how the hell was it doing that? I called the maintenance guy and he said it could just go off, but, then said it is highly unlikely to do it twice like that. The rest of the night was quiet again, but we were freaked out!

Capt. Morgan Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Whoa! The ALZ unit sounds like a right freaky place to spend an evening! I was in Denmark last summer, and I visited one of the castles there, dating from the early 1200's... the Danes and Swedes fought over this castle for hundreds of years, and, obviously, we had to walk the battlefield to get up to the castle. Even though it was about 85 degrees, I felt chilled the whole time. And as I walked through the castle, there was one part where I swore I could smell freshly baked bread. I later found out that that was where the bakery had been!

Christine Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 Oh, I feel so bad for all the nurses and caregivers who work up there. Especially the ones who do the Noc shift, graveyard. You'd find me passed out on the floor from fright! The whole place tho has some creepy vibes. Stuff happens in the day too. Hate taking the stairwell, day or night. Just weird vibes. And the elevator isn't any better! *shivers* Okay, I have to go there for the pm shift tomorrow, so let's talk about something else-lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Morgan Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Ha! Okay, okay! How about the finer points of S'More making? Myself, I like to roast the marshmallow til its golden on the outside, gooey on the inside, then I put it on a graham cracker with a piece of Hershey's bar, then hold the whole thing over the fire again, til the chocolate gets soft... *Morgan reaches into his pack, and brings out stuff for S'Mores...* Can I interest you in some?

Capt. Morgan Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Great then! *Morgan bakes a couple of marshmallows... one catches fire and falls onto the coals...* Oops! That one was yours!

Merrydeath Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Merry and Scupper cuddle up on the blanket, stars shine over head saying hello, a gentle breeze blows around them, as dreams dance in their heads. Making supper, doing the wash, seeing a movie hand in hand and sharing the popcorn. Things that can mean so much when the love is there. She moves closer and holds on to his shoulder, smiling as she sleeps. Til later love. Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss. Capt of the FOOLS GOLD PIRATES BLAST BREAST CANCER!

Scupper Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 What more can a pirate ask for. A lovely lass by his side, a heart full f love, a moonlit night reflecting on the sea, a nd his mates close at hand. I know. A Guiness to toast his good fortune. Scupper "That's the navy for you.

Capt. Morgan Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 A Guinness toast indeed! If you guys go swimming, just watch for the sharks... I was feeding them burned S'Mores last night (or early this morning?), and they seem to be circling... under a starry sky, lit by a yellow moon, in the warm, warm ocean, blown by floral scented breezes!!

William Brand Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 He wakes up under a date palm and stands up to stretch out his back and stride down to the sea to do some spearfishing. He throws off his long coat, shirt and boots. He wades out into the lagoon with a spear and a pension for killing sea creatures for breakfast.

Black Syren Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Siren seeing him coming laughingly splashes water at him to keep him at bay. Then Dives deep beneath the waves to frolic and watches carefully as he wades out then swims close to him spraying water upn him before darting away. Then overhearing Scupper feels tears come to her eyes and starts singing Bella Notte.. Oh this is the night.. Such a beautiful night And they call it Bella Notte.. Looks around for Master studley and gives him an impish grin flipping her fins at him.. Look at the Skies so many stars in their eyes On this lovely Bella Notte. Side by side with your loved one You'll find enchantment here. The Night will weave it's magic spell when the one you love is near.. For this is the night and the heavens are right.. On this lovely.... Bella Notte... Slips back into the warm waters to frolic and splashes William and Master studley again.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't) Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Sully Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Lulled out of his mischievous revenge by Siren's lovely voice, Studley floats on his back admiring the stars in the heavens. The moment does not last long as he turns and sends a spray of water into the beautiful Siren's amazed face.

Black Syren Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Laughingly says Think so Do ya..then sinks below to swim beneath him and bumps him powerfully with her tail only to make him sink as she swims off with powerful strokes of her fins. Then surfaces to smile impishly at him pushing dark hair from her face. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't) Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Sully Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Unfortunately during the froliking, Studley takes a lung full of water, his eyes roll to the back of his head, and his motionless body floats slowly to the sandy bottom.
