Ransom Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Cussing! If one more *&$%@# telemarketer calls my house.... I wish someone would invent a device you could attach to your phone, so that if one of these people called you, you could hit the # key and their head sets would explode - or emit a piercing whistle that would render them forever useless as a phone flogger. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Red-Handed Jill Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Most of those telemarketers are poor working stiffs with no other viable way at the time of earning a living. The real villains are the a$$holes who employ them. I'd love to have a button on my phone that, when pressed, directs all subsequent calls from the telemarketer's phone to the company owner's home phone. So no matter who they dial, the company owner's phone will ring. Give 'em a taste of their own medicine and then some!
Iron Bess Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Just coming back from the Pirates 3 Lunch/Party here on the lot. Lots of autographs, food, contests and entertainers from the Park. They even brought out the good Jack Sparrow! (Yes, we have a few not so hot ones...) Displays with the building sized models of the Black Pearl and the Endeavor, flags and skeletons everywhere you look. Tattoos, games, pictures spots, water canons, music and prizes for the best costume or Sparrow imitation. (A guy from IT won if you can believe that!) For once it was a real fun party!! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
CrazyCholeBlack Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Staring at my FINISHED hunting coat! & the pattern for my friends breeches & the pile of wool to make them. Better get started if I want them finished by Saturday. "If part of the goods be plundered by a pirate the proprietor or shipmaster is not entitled to any contribution."

Red-Handed Jill Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Editing a software tutorial, which is a heck of a lot of fun (no sarcasm meant, really. I LOVE doing stuff like this.) Also got my leg weights strapped on and am doing leg lifts.
Hester Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Mending me black lace petticoat. Tore it last time I was dancing with those bloody Scots. What a rowdy crew! Gonna wear it dancing with the English tonight. (They're a much tamer lot than the Scots.)
BriarRose Kildare Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 I just finished me dishes...and I am taking a moment to breath and enjoy the moment....the warm summer day.....I Love the month of May....and June, and July too.....So I just being still and in the moment......

Red Cat Jenny Posted June 2, 2007 Posted June 2, 2007 Enjoying a rare moment of peace with the evening light and listening to the wind blowing outside.. Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
BriarRose Kildare Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Mmmm, savoring the sweet moments with my son. We have been playing all morning and afternoon...what a true joy he is to behold..... I am now getting him ready to go out for a walk in the woods and to blow bubbles....he loves blowing bubbles....lol..... Happy memories for the Heart.

BriarRose Kildare Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Laundry....dishes....but now it is time to take my son for a walk.

Hester Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Drinking Pimm's and heading off to Atlantis with Col. Sheppard! Did actually go to the grocery store. I peeked out my front door window, saw no ladder, and thought the neighbours' contractors had finished. But no, when I opened my front door to leave, I discovered they were actually sitting on my front porch stairs eating a late lunch. So, to soothe my nerves (and give them time to finish lunch before I returned), I also made a trip to the drugstore, where I bought a pirate romance novel, Calgon "Take Me Away!" Tahitian Orchid body mist, and two large bars of Belgian chocolate. One of the contractors told me they'd be finished by tomorrow. I thought at first he meant the entire job, but I see they haven't even started re-staining the deck. So, I guess he just meant they'd be finished camping on my front porch by then. Well... small mercies, I guess.
Silkie McDonough Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Trying to get the knots out of my stomach! I don't know if it is the meds, the book I'm reading, what I ate, or knowing that I need a change ...I don't mind change but I'm not as resilient as I let on.
Hester Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Hang in there, Silkie! (And peppermint & chamomile tea is very soothing to the tummy and the nerves.) Me -- I'm bracing for the severe thunderstorm that's rolling in, with its threat of potential tornados. Probably should turn off the computer now and get away from the windows. But hey ... it did scare off the neighbours' contractors!
Hester Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Me -- I'm bracing for the severe thunderstorm that's rolling in, with its threat of potential tornados. Enjoying the calm after the storm. Well, that was a tempest in a teapot! Only lasted 15 minutes, and not nearly as strong as was predicted. Tornado warnings cancelled now, the wind's dropped, and the sky is getting lighter again. I'm gonna open the windows and let in that cool, fresh air!
Abrams Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Watching my brother play Sid Meier's Pirates and hearing my friend play Halo. I've got the heart of a pirate, just not the garb...
flintlock jack Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 As my incredible wife lays sleeping after another futile week of city dearth and shite, l prop meseff up watching "Fury At Smugglers Bay", widescreen, on my porto player. Shot in the usual Hammer glory of style and visual, the viewer gets...pyrate turned wreckers,smugglers,a highwayman,and the incomparable Peter Cushing. Damn, it's good. Come on now! Pyrates are given. Smugglers and highwaymen? T'und'rin jaze! How kin ya go awrong? Every enthusiast should have this, along with either version of 'The Wicked Lady'(Margaret Lockwood as Lady Skelton, James Mason as Jerry Jackson), either version of 'Dr Syn'(MacGoohan as the scarecrow!), 'Jamaica Inn"(Charles Laughton is over the top), throw in 'A High Wind In Jamaica', 'Caribbean', 'Moonfleet'(a smuggling Stewart Granger), and 'Captain Pirate'(technicolor Louis Hayward) and yeev got a lot of the go! Got off track....... Ah yes, 'Fury At Smugglers Bay'.............................................................. Fate, I've found as o' late, has raised its ugly head ta' redeem ih'self.......
Cheeky Actress Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Cleaning up from a great cook out and now realizing there is only a few hours left of the weekend ( ), until I have to go back to 'that place' called work. Was rather a nice relaxing weekend. Group of old friends from up north gathered for a parade and birthday party. It was nice...I think we made the paper...again! Need to see if I can get a newpaper from that city tomorrow. Cheeky Member of "The Forsaken"
Ransom Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Enjoying a glass of wine after working in the garden all day, fighting with my computer trying to download pictures to send to 'Bastian and Flintlock, and working on my artist journal inbetween times, so I can send it on its way on Friday. Also, stalling answering my other half's question of, "When do I get a coat?" ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...
