I just wrote a very long post wishing everyone a very Happy New Year, and asking what I've missed over the past few weeks, and when I went to post it, it suddenly disappeared! In any case, I just wanted to say that I've missed everyone, and although I peeked in from time to time, I didn't have the time to post much or read many threads.

So, if I have missed anything exciting (I see you all went on a lavish cruise without me!), please fill me in on the details. We had a wonderful holiday with my family who came over the pond to visit for the first time in years. It's absolutely freezing up here! I thought we were still in the sunny south. Anyway, now that I'm part-time I hope to be on here more with my family.

OK, who got coal, and why?

All the best to you lot for a great 2008,
Chris

Hiya, Chris! It's about bloody time you got yourself back here!

No coal for me, I got some very nice presents and got rid of company as fast as possible. It was short and sweet! I got myself a great present in the form of a chair massage system, so I only get up to go wee wee now.

The cruise was a disaster and I'm not going next year. I'm still airing out my clothes from the nasty stink of rotted lobstah because a certain Sally put one in my drawer on the first day.

Craig got arrested at Grand Cayman doing unmentionable things involving snorkeling gear, a thong, and Mrs. Claus. DM went overboard but missed the water, FG flew her plane into restricted airspace then landed it on the Lido deck, Joyce drank too much at the bon voyage party and no one saw her after that, Wiz, RW, Trappy and others caused a riot at the buffet resulting in all handicapped people being banned from buffets. I just don't know what to tell you. It was ugly.

The cruise....the whole thing...it was Nappy's fault! The whole bloody thing!

Hey Nappy the reason you didn't see me on the cruise was because I took over the steering of the ship. Had to make sure we picked up all those bodies that fell overboard.


The chair massage that you got was that the Shiatsu & Roll with heat. I got one of those for christmas. It does feel great.

Well, that, at least, explains all those circles we made.

Hi ya Chris!! Sorry you missed the 3 Hr tour. Oops, different boat!

I had a smashing time on the cruise. No, I guess I was SMASHED the whole time on the cruise. Everyone was running amuck and there were glasses and shrimp flying all over the place. Truppy and Sal were streaking and FG was dive bombing us like the Red Baron. It was crazy.

Joyce played Capt for awhile and I think she was steering w/her feet.

And Craig in his speedo... Oh My!

RW is still propped up on the dock. She's comatose from the buffet. I think the Monkey was there, as I saw banana peelings down every corridor.

Have you showered yet AMN?? You smell like a sardine!
Oh yeah, and the highlight of the whole cruise was my rendition of The Love Boat theme song. I think they will want to book me for next yr too. It was something like you've never heard.


*shaking head* I'm going to therapy!

Now, as for Christmas... We had a nice quiet holiday here and it was fine w/me. I did cook a big meal w/all the trimmings and watched movies all afternoon. On New Years, we went out w/friends and had an amazing time.. Can't believe it's a new year. Hope yours is going to be a good one.

*hosing down AMN*

Sounds like a jolly good time. Let me know when next year's is planned and I'll book our room on another boat!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU! I'm so glad we've met.
