Small world , indeed!  We used to keep in better touch when my mom was alive, and even went to several  reunions.  I know we are related to the Farthings there, but I would have to sit down with the family tree to figure it out now.  I think my grandmother (Gentry) was from that area, too.  Stephen Justus Farthing, my grandfather, went out west with some other families.  Family story was that he was a might too fun-loving for Boone, and was encouraged to "Go west, young man!"

AAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!! I was up the crow's nest just having a look around when I spotted guess who at 90 degrees off the starboard bow!!  Miss Patti Yootee! I took this video of her rowing across the Rollin' Blue!


  You all know she has been AWOL for a time now and the PBW is setting full sail to try to capture her and put her back to work in her duties aboard the PBW.  Can't remember in what capacity she served aboard our ship, but I believe she could qualify as Chief Mischief Maker First Class.

Full speed ahead!

Aloha Cap'n Deb,
  Yootee here, reporting for temporary duty.... went a spinnin again and wrenched me knee, may be out of commish a bit.  Sorry to hear (one eared) of your tummy problems, see my post on your thread,  been there done that one too. :-\   My ole PWB job was the headache fairy swatter,  but between you, me & Laz, I wasn't doing a very good job.  After seeing Andrea in slc and Anissa ome through this thing with flying colors, and knowing what I know now,  I'm thinking the Translab is the way to go, they don't mess with the brain (mid fos they squish it a bit) and the haring salvaged isn't really useable.  But I would be honored to take the position of  Cheif Mischeif maker.... I can pop in from time to time and see what kind of trouble I can cause............. shhhh don't tell phyl

Well, if its good enough for Ms yodelayhoohoo, its good enough for me. Just returning temporarily as my mond is focussing on my upcoming radiation treatment.

This chronologer apologises for me misconduct but between the brain wrecks and the treatment to come, the story line would have been sillier than the silliest with a lot of &*(^&&^^&%^%&* in it and because there are kids reading this, we are not allowed to ()&**&&*(^&^&*6. I tyupe really fast doing that, perhaps the rest of the message should read ()**()&*&(%^&%$&^%&^%*%^*&^&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_&(_*^%^$%^($R&^%&^%^&*()^+()_*+()*+(*)(_)_(*)*(&+

mmm, any jobs going for speed typists where you have to type a lot of ampersands?

Master Laz! We have missed you like crazy around here!  I was just pondering on your whereabouts and whoop! Here's a post from you on the ole GM.  When is your brainbooger zap?  How is the ole noggin? I'm sittin' here in me lil cabin wiv a ragin' blizzard outside!  I'm ready to move somewhere warm and sunny permanently. Somewhere where I can visit the sea or keep a lil boat to putz around in. 

Hope the evil Headache Monster is not plagueing you today--let us here from ye!

Hugs,

Capt Deb

Hi all,

sorry, it's been a while but the headaches keep comin' and the stress of my pending radiation treatment tomorrow has got to me a bit.

i don't know how many times i have recommended radiation treatment as a viable option to newbies but when its "you" things seem different. probably my main concern is that the volume of headaches will increase and that is something that i don't want.

Anyway, this thread is meant to be a silly and happy one so I'll try and kick start the PBW shortly.

GK is a doable thing, Laz. You've been through surgery; you can handle this. Best best wishes.

  Wake up you scruvy naves, it be speaketh like Shakespeare day.    There's also a Shakespear Insult Generator at http://www.william-shakespeare.org.uk/a2-shakespeare-insult-generator.htm  in case someone cuts in front of you in traffic, like the goatish tallow-faced incontinent varlet who cut me off in traffic this morning.
  Be-eth in good health,
    Rob

(with apologies to Shakespeare - and Alls Well that Ends Well)

The AN's a beggar, now the treatment is done:
All is well ended, if this suit be won,
That you express content; which we will pay,
With strife to please you, day exceeding day:
Ours be your patience then, and yours our parts;
Your gentle hands lend us, and take our hearts.
