Awe shucks; I'm not in the CREW.

Some of us were born to be passengers.

So true. Why didn't I think of that when I've traveled to 77 countries, and never as a CREW member.

You want they should stick an oar in your hands?

argh! I'd never make it.
Did hard labor for $ when we were kids working on the farms every summer.

Happy New Year ci, you iz most definitely crew... and certainly our most travelled shipmate. I am sooo glad to see you posting again and I'm wishing you and yours a happy and healthy 2016. I know the last year has been a battle health-wise for you so am sending you all the healing wishes around the world to you door. Happy New Year T&L xx

Ha, you and Alex are the galley crew, Osso. Couldn't. Do without chocolate cake and pannacotta caramel...or anything "pudding" is good. A Very Happy New Year to you ((((((J))))) and one day I hope we will get to meet and have a cuppa. I see that your part of the world has had some snow... Well, we have the rain, rain and more rain, though I am blessed at not having flooded like so many folk. Up North they had 14 inches (341mm) of rain in 24/14 hours... 1000's of people homeless and no place to go... If they can get here, my door's open.

Anyhooooooooooo, HAPPY NEW YEAR J, have a great year ahead and keep healthy and be happy. Love to you and the ABQ folksies xxxx

Oooooooooooh, my so bad - shoulda put my glasses on - I thought Osso was talking with ci... when it was actually the resident Roger on board.

Well, that's a great start to 2016... one must wear glasses when replying!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ROGER! Wishing a wonderful year ahead for you and hugs ((((((((Roger))))))))))x

Happy New Year to all at A2K - here's hoping that 2016 will be a healthy, happy and prosperous one.

I'll talk now though. First, Happy New Year to all. Plus, panna cotta of the flavor of your choice and/or dessert of your choice, to all.

Eggnog panna cotta with balsamic raspberries..

I Swear, Aussie land is UPSIDE DOWN, I'm always a day late or a day early

HAPPY NEW YEAR!~

Ms Izzie and Crew!~~~

Thank you Osso & FS...

8 years ago DannyBoy and I became friends. I miss that man so much.

8 years... I've known so many folk here for 8 years... hardly seems possible...

who could ever have known life would turn around in so many ways

Happy, Healthy and All Good for 2016 to the CREW

<mouth watering gooooooooooooooood> ((((Osso))))x

1st Jan 2008 - I arrived here to an unknown world and folks who stood by me all the way through troubled waters. Thank you.

1st Jan 2016 - my first day of being unemployed in 16 years. I stood my ground, gave it my all, battled those in power for 14 long months, heart and soul, I had the support of my loved ones and life iz about to start as tomorrow has come...

It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes.







Let the good times roll in 2016



This one, this one took its toll on your faith
This one, this one broke the best that you gave
I know, I know, how they laughed in your face

They hoped and hoped and they said you would break
How long you find when they cut your size (?)
then you sit around and smile just a little

Say Happy New Year cause this is the end
of all that was broken and needed to mend
Let go of your fears say Happy New Year

Cause this is the start, te start of the new
And all that you wanted, all that you wanted
Is coming to you and you're finally here
Say Happy New Year

Get up, get up take a second to look
Take a third take a fourth and you'll see that you're good
enough enough
it doesn't matter at all
and you feel like you're surrounded
cause you stood too tall
Hold on hold on and keep it inside
you can swallow your pride a little

Say Happy New Year cause this is the end
of all that was broken that you needed to mend
Let go of your fears say Happy New Year

Cause this is the start, the start of the new
And all that you wanted, all that you wanted
Is coming to you and you're here
So Happy New Year


It's beautiful and broken
It's silently spoken
And every heart is open tonight

So Happy New Year cause this is the end
what was broken you needed to mend
Let go of your fear
Let go of your fear
Cause this is the start ..

This is the start, the start of the new
and all that you wanted, all that you wanted
is coming to you

So Happy New Year!

Noddy would be proud, as am I.

And by the way, I still love you. Not being gooey.

In the meantime, be well, talk when you want to.
