"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Yep... thanku BEAgle <dancing queen> me too also...

Brooklyn - how are you? School? Noah? et...al? K/// k-ish/// coping girl.

Love you and mailing off tomorrow!

Hey Izz ......Love you too! But you know that!!

Noah is the epitome of good health. Growing - happy - and doing his best to make everyone smile. I think the little guy found a way to absorb little Nathans love before he died. It just seems with every toothless smile and the tight gripping of your finger...the love projects x's two.

I'm doin' good! Going to email you soon. As for school .....I think I've found my footing. Wasn't sure the first couple of weeks if I could handle 23 credits. Was thinking about dropping a couple of classes. Glad I didn't. It's not feeling so much like it owns me now. And grade wise, it's still early ..BUT, I'm right where I need to be in the respect. So all is cool ..for now!

Oh Brooke you do make me laugh to see such goings over a water butt.

Last week I had bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all.

Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job. As you know, as a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana performing underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It's a wetsuit. This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this:

We have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This expensive piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a hose, which is taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times with no complaints. What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wetsuit. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi.

Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. Within a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened.

The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit. When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into my butt. I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with 5 other divers, were all laughing hysterically.

Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make 3 agonizing in-water decompression stops totalling 35 minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression. When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet.

As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't eat for two days because my butthole was swollen shut.

So, next time ya'll having a bad day; think about how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt.

Be happy; see ya’ll again soon…

Try!

I had to read that twice! Too damn funny!

Even the dog laughed. Well......he was laughing at your butthole bein' swollen shut!













disclaimer .......that's not my dog!

ahem... deep throaty laugh!

glad it wasn't a puffer fish.... you'd have been blown out the water

or an electric eel... you'd have been electrifying

oh a pirhana.... you'd have been a ....girlie!

love ya Blue.... jump aboard when you're not.....diving!


ya really oughta stay away from deep bottom dwellers when diving a?

What's a water butt?

Something tells me we don't want to know.

Hey, mis! How's your evening?

Hey JPB - fine. Breathing a lot!
How about yours?

This is probably what Try meant. An oak whiskey - water butt.

I'm good thanks. Keeping my butt high and dry.

Hi JPB, I'll drink to that.

Hi Dutchy ---- I'm still detoxing from last weekend in New Orleans and Lafayette. GOOD TIMES were had by all

Always a good place for a butt to be! Glad you're doing well!

ahhhhhhhh. Good. I knew it would be something fairly tame.

Morning mismi, you're not looking for some excitement are you?

Good morning crew - 7.30 am Tuesday morning here down under. Not too good a day weather-wise. Back to babysitting today. Hope all your little munchkins are okay Missy. Not doing too much today so will pop in and out and see how everyone is doing here.

Hi crew,

It is up to us to keep the boat afloat for the time being until Izzie is able to come aboard, see Izzie thread for more info.

So it is time for a little exercise and want you all to join in http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8nc629jX8MI&feature=related

Hey there DeeDee - hope the babysitting goes well. Is it raining?
My boys are all three well for now. Thanks for asking.

Whew! I cleaned today. The rest of the week I am going to be pretty busy.

Haven't seen Izzie today - wondering how she is.

Hey there Brooke...good to see you hun! How is school going?

Okay - I gotta run.

Hey Mismi, hope your well, sounds like you have been busy! I haven't stopped myself, a womens lot is never done! Ha! but would we change it? Yep, sometimes we would! X

Morning DDXX and Tulip, very nice day in my part of the world. Loved that bit of Balalaika music annis, just did a few steps and by golly I've still got it.
Will take Mrs.D out for lunch into town today so won't be around a great deal. Chin up Captain we're thinking of you. Hugs to all.
