Egbok | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 07:24 pm     ...well, you've guessed it...and now that I see the word "parsley"...ohhhh geez...here come the tears.... |
Tess | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 07:31 pm     hahahahahhahahahah....what does thyme do to you? |

Egbok | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 07:33 pm     Uhhhhh...Tess...you can find that answer in the Cosmo thread! (Edit Mode: Half, you crack me up!!) |
Fanny | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 09:31 pm     Eggie, I saw them recently, too. Wow. What a show. Loved "Bridge". They re-worked one of their songs and did a jazzy thang to it and at the time I thought I'd remember it forever but that was then, and now I of course I don't remember which one it was, but it was spectacular. |
Egbok | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 09:47 pm     FANNY!!! Was it "Cecilia"?? The band members played some unusual instruments with this number and it had a jazzy feel to it. And since I'm back into re-living the concert, S & G did an awesome job with Baby Driver, My Little Town, The Only Living Boy in New York...I could name all the songs they sang last night. Honestly, they sang about 18 songs and I'll always remember this concert....sigh... |
Fanny | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 09:55 pm     You're breaking my heart, you're tearing it apart.... could have been, eggie, could have been. Weren't those instruments the oddest thangs?? Have you ever been to a Jimmy Buffet concert? Every single person sings every single word to every single song, but at S&G the crowd was almost respectfully silent, just listening and drinking it all in even though we all knew all the words. (but we did smell some mary jo wanna in the parking lot!) |
Egbok | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 10:08 pm     Yeah Fanny...I've experienced Jimmy's singalongs...too much fun! And as you said, with S & G...respectfully silent. I didn't smell any MaryJanes but there were a few tailgate parties that I tried to crash...oh yeahhhh!!! |
Twinkie | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 01:02 am     Cecilia, your breaking my heart, your shaking my confidence daily. Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please to come home. Come on home. Great song! |
Babyruth | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 08:46 am     If Egbok is so innocent, how would she know what "Maryjanes" smell like? Inquiring minds want to know.  |
Egbok | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 08:50 am     ...ummmmm...aren't "Maryjanes" a type of shoe that smell like leather?? |
Mware | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 08:51 am     Boy, do I know what you guys mean. The smell of Maryjanes permeating the air...ahhh.
Nothing like the smell of new shoes on the first day of school... I am only 10% evil.  |
Egbok | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 08:57 am     LOL Mware!! I'm so glad that you are on the same page at me. Sometimes people around here just don't understand how hard it is for me to maintain my 4% evil innocence...<sigh>... |
Tess | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 01:12 pm     Hmmmmmmm |
Grannyg | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 05:35 pm     Tess, are you taking notes????? MsEggie 4% innocent???????? hahahahahahahahaha |
Tess | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 08:26 pm     Yes, Granny, I'm on my 3rd notebook for this week alone. Eggie innocent? Hahahhahaha. I've met Eggie, remember. I fear the forces of evil are taking hold even as I type. |
Egbok | Wednesday, November 19, 2003 - 08:33 pm     ....Muuuaaahhhahahahahahahaha!! Ohhhh....hi Tess! |
Bobbie_552001 | Thursday, November 27, 2003 - 07:27 pm     Thanks for being patient!! I only have the underwater pics of the Cayman trip back, so we'll start with those. Its hard to beleve that at this time last week I was sitting in Paradise. No doubt sipping on a rum runner and thinking that I never wanted to leave. The weather was gorgeous, everyday in the 80's with never a cloud in the sky. And the water....I lived there. The bluest water that I have ever seen, and the warmest that I've ever swam in. We would spend our days lying by the ocean or snorkling and every evening would find us in an open air restaurant, sampling their fine cuisine. From lobster, to salmon, crab cakes and conch....to the finest wines that I have ever tasted...did I mention that it was paradise. From the time our plane touched down until we hit the water an hour had elasped....we snorkled right behind our motel, but little did we know that what we were experiencing was just the tip of the ice berg of what lived in the ocean. It is so true that the best scenery in the Caymans you have to go under for!! Although at times when I was there....and swimming among fish that I thought were only found in Nemo...I felt as if I was invading their world. Disrupting the normal flow of things. I thought what a privilege that I was allowed to share just a small part of it. The second day of the trip was when we hooked up with Captain Marvin. He took us snorkling for conch which we later had for lunch on a very small island. During this time is when we swam with the stingrays....and saw the moray eel and the shark... Onward with the pics they tell it all much better than I can.
This is the greatest shot and I didn't even realize it. If you look you can see how close we were to the eel. That eel...scarred me so much when he came out of the reef I think that I took him more than my share of salt water.
A great shot of a stingray
Thats me!! And if you look real close you can see that I have my arms outstretched and the stingray has swam right up and I'm holding him. Ladies...do check out the tour guide.
Now...I really hesitated to post this pic. I look terrible!! No makeup, hair a mess....but look past that and you'll see the cutest little guy in the world. Now that is stingray up close and personal.
Me once again....look at those guys waiting to get their dinner!! It was truly an amazing experience. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would be as comfortable in the water as I was on land...maybe even more so. We rented a darn car. And realize they drive on the opposite side of the car on the opposite side of the street. Thanks everyone for letting me share...and being so excited for me...!! |
Squaredsc | Thursday, November 27, 2003 - 07:59 pm     oh nice pics bobbie, sounds like you had a great time. |
Reader234 | Thursday, November 27, 2003 - 08:16 pm     Bobbie, that is so cool!! I've always wanted to do this!! Is that your hand in the first pic near that eel? No wonder you took in salt water - eek!! Dh's sister lives in Florida and did the keys - scuba, she had movies, just amazing!! I so agree with your sentiment that you are priveleged to share a part of it, and then you came to share with me!! WOW that stingray pic!! What a wonderful memory!! |
Meme9 | Thursday, November 27, 2003 - 08:19 pm     Great pictures Bobbie! I wanna go to the ocean... Thanksgiving is all cleaned up. I finished my packing about an hour ago. I need to be up in 3 hours to go to the airport...Look Out Vegas here I come!!! I've got a feeling I'm not going to sleep, I always worry if I have forgotten to tie up any loose ends here before I leave. There will be 73 of our friends going, well make that 75, if you count the bride and groom! Viva Las Vegas! |
Resortgirl | Friday, November 28, 2003 - 05:45 am     Have a great time meme!!! Las Vegas isn't a place to sleep, so try to get some beforehand!! |

Lancecrossfire | Friday, November 28, 2003 - 11:01 am     I agree with everyone else--great pictures Bobbie! It looks like you had a great time! (well, at least based on your pictures) You took some very good underwater shoots! Have you done any underwater photography before? Meme, have a great time in Vegas!
