I think that's his "I'm sessy" look. :D

smoldering UT!

You guys are all lookin good. Tulip, you are so pretty!

I think you should dress as a Three Musketeer next Halloween , Ute.

So are we going to club together for a cellar horse?

He'll have to use coconuts.

There are no coconuts in PA. Are you trying to tell me coconuts migrate?

Not at all. They could be carried.

Toad has always been Oliver Reed.

By which kind of sparrow?

I don't know if it's African or European, but it would carry it under the dorsal guiding feathers.

I could not get a plausible smile out of myself. So here I am trying to look smart!

A little bit better...

Jim and Griff you took the thoughts from my head and posted them! Scary!

MTP you are adorable!

Wow, your hair's grown out long, MTP. It seems like not so long ago that you chopped it all off...

cute

He could grip it by the husk.

It's not a matter of where he grips it! It's a simple matter of weight ratios!!

Spent the night on the USS New Jersey with my son's cub scout pack last night. This is me RFMidnight. I could never be in the Navy. And I had one of the spacious racks with 50% more headroom..

you Look SOOO thrilled to be there Glatt !!

How Many Bulkheads did ya Clonk Yer Noggen on ?????

It was actually a ton of fun, except for the sleeping arrangements. I was too long for my rack!

You look ten years younger than when you were shoveling. Tired, but younger.

Not a night person?? hihi... Should've cracked a smile. :D

I was in better spirits the next morning after a couple cups of coffee and a couple hours of sleep.

Shit, dude! Ya look like a teenager in that last pic!!

No, he does not, but he looks good. ;) Very good smile! :D

Glatt, ya oughta try it when the berthing is full of other guys all trying to get up, dressed, shave and get to the head all at the same time each morning.

Slapt in one of those for years and you're right, the bunks are seemingly designed for the same adult model that is used for car backseats.

In the news lately was some story about two sailors who fell asleep watching tv in the same bunk. They got in serious trouble. I don't know how it would be possible for two adults to fit in the same bunk, let alone two adults and one tv.

And how do diseases not run right through an entire berthing? There were 18 people sleeping within about a meter of me that night. If one guy has a cold, how does it not spread to everyone?

I would really have a hard time being in the Navy.

careful how you say that, squiddy

How does the first guy get a cold, out in the middle of the ocean?

To answer Glatt's question, two guys can fall asleep in the same bunk, either stacked on top of one another REALLY closely, or, much more likely, sitting sideways on a top bunk. I think that story happened at a school though, where you get to sleep on a more normal-sized bed.

Colds and other contagious bugs are a different matter. One undiagnosed case of cold or flu can take out the entire berthing, which is why most sailors will head to sick call at the first sign that something is wrong. They then are checked out by the corpsman and if they are contagious, they are sequestered for the protection of everybody. Vermin are another problem. Should someone bring in lice or fleas or anything like that inadvertently, everyone in that compartment gets their belongings laundered in smelly soap and they get "dipped". The unfortunate sailor usually gets pummelled that night, too.

Living that closely can be problematic at times.

We're all carrying the virus and it is dormant until our immune system gets overwhelmed by it. I think the mechanism of "catching" a cold is under some debate, but I suspect the carrier has built up a huge population of virus and every drop of snot has billions more viruses than usual so maybe enough to tip the scales in favor of the virus.

All very interesting. It's one thing to read about being that close. Spending one night like that was an eye opener. I'm still impressed and amazed that sailors do it routinely.

In the troop transport areas of some ships you have about HALF that much space ,
Try liveing in THAT for 6 months at a time !!!!!

No, thank you.:blush:

In my down coat and overalls, I look like someone made me out of playdoh! Also I must have eaten a sour ball right when this was taken! :p: Its cold here 20 something going down to 16 WTF is Spring? :eyebrow:

I sailed across the Atlantic in a 45 foot boat with 4 other people. What's it like? It's like sitting at a dining room table with the same four people for two straight months. If you want any privacy you can go to the corner of the room and turn your back on the table. I'm convinced that is why god invented alcohol.

I would love to hear the story of that trip. Lots of details. Start another thread. You must have had some interesting adventures along the way. How long was the trip?

I could write a book and I should. OMG. I really should, you wouldn't believe it.

I would really be interested in it. Start a blog or just a new thread. I would be totally into hearing your story.

If you're reaaaally interested, why don't you put your money where your hands are? Hmmm!!!
F3! Don't tell this man a THING, you should be making money off of your story. Don't hand it out for free!

brrr nirvana. we're complaining about our cold snap here. it on got up to 63 degrees today

:lol:

When my arm is out of the sling and I can type a little easier I'll start writing about it. Maybe start a blog. It's complicated because some of the other players would be instantly identifiable by their CVs even w/o their names. I'd have to change a lot of things around. Not to mention the unique and distinctive name of the boat.

MTP you can be my agent for a typical book agent's fee.

Good morning Cellar!
 

Every day is a new day! And . . . it's Friday!
