There was a piece on NPR last week about California gangs. No news news there regarding gang prevalence on the streets and in prisons . But very interesting part about prison guard gangs and law...

He who would keep himself busy let him equip these two: a ship and a woman. For no two things involve more business once you start to fit them out, nor are these two ever sufficiently adorned, nor...

As a Florida resident, and as past posts will show, I am not a fan, but this has to be the best shade throw ever:


‘I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure...

The incident was around a year ago, but this is just released footage of a Jacksonville police chase of a non-custodial parent kidnapping that ended up with the mother running off the road into a...

There might have been a way to translate it, but the website came up in Swedish. The icon for donations was clear though as was the Paypal link.

Thanks for posting that.

Fascinating regardless. Thanks all!

Yep. Ted wins the Zoom trials! :)

That was excellent. I think we had about 20+ stop by. Thanks to everyone that took time out of their afternoon to visit. Too bad the wine and beer ran out, and next time I'll do better on the food...

Bobcat, you're an hour early ;)

Hi all,

Judging from the comments on the thread, there should be a good crowd. BYOB by the way.. ;)

Yes, Zoom will work on any phone or device, but you will need to download the app and make...

There may be a surprise guest. Or two. Or three. :D :D :D

Just keeping this on the first page :)

I believe it started with a handful of African American courses with potentially questionable titles including Black Queer Studies and Reparations.

Now it's all over the place, and he's taking...

It's been a while ya'll (rhyme intended) :)

There will never be a time or platform that works perfectly for everyone, but here is a Zoom link for this Sunday - 4:00 p.m. Eastern:

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. Peace. :(

While neither is going to pan out, this thread resulted in two positive associations and a little attention toward the project.

I continue to believe that there is someone out there that would...

I read an interesting article when the legislation was announced about allowing OTC hearing products. The analogy was that OTC hearing aids would be like reading glasses.

If you needed...

Good morning everyone.

Merry Christmas and thank you all for your suggestions, support, and kindness.

I wanted to acknowledge the personal messages and apologize for ones that didn't go...

I found a printed copy from 2003. That sketch goes before the paragraph that begins, "Lulu's crew, in deferent to her years, had always kept her within the confines of the sheltered estuary..."

You beat me to it this year :)

It bothers me that the sketches are lost. Somehow I think I came across them somewhere this year. Maybe in a printed copy if I can find it.

Regardless, I...

She'd been out 7+ years when we launched her. It's more the sun on the decks and bright work. Tarps cover that to the greatest degree possible, but it all needs to be redone. Again.

For years I’ve been hoping for a Sarah 2.0 thread. Or just any thread.

Even this has taken me months to type a few words. According to the date on the computer, I last saved this document,...

It's nice to hear that his ride on this ship called life have brought him so many opportunities.

Sadness. :(

It's taken me a bit to read this as I had to catch up in small doses. I'd missed my call window but logged in once only reading the early pages looking for the address to send him a...

I still have that leg too |;):D

I had a nice chat with Jamie yesterday. Some repeating of complaints, but what else has he got to do :(

He said there was only one person on duty for all 150 residents, but that's impossible. ...

This may be a record for thread shift, but I still have the leg LOL

When I spoke with Jamie and mentioned this thread, he pointed out that there are lots of pictures of Airlie and the...

All,

As some of you may know from previous threads (and the current one: http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthread.php?288921-Jamie-Johnston-(S-V-Airlie)-is-in-the-hospital&highlight=jamie) the...

I think Gareth has a good idea re: sending a care package w/granola or protein bars. Maybe the next person that speaks to him could bring it into the conversation, but he does have a sister and...

Yes. I got an email from Michael and read it to Jamie word for word. He was very happy!

Hi Chad! Long time no hear from. Hope all is going well with you and yours!

Happy Birthday from Florida -

It is, and Jamie was overjoyed at the news. :)

I spoke with him just now. He answered on the first or second ring. He started off a bit on the curmudgeonly side, but I can't blame him. If I was confined to a bed and dependent on short-handed...

Thursday was my day, but I got caught up in something and didn't think about it until too late.

Even thought Joe is going to try, I'll try too. I enjoy our chats. :)

I'm late reporting in, but I spoke with Jamie Thursday. His doctor had been by, was amazed at how well he was doing, and if I understood correctly there is a plan to get him out of bed and start...

It happened in the county just north of here. Not only were shots exchanged, when the vehicles stopped the two idiots jump out and start fighting. The deputies were trying to get them apart and...

I'm so sorry for her troubles. And saying 'troubles' even seems to minimize it, and that's the opposite of what I mean.

Hang in there for her.

I spoke to Jamie a bit ago. He made the occasional reference to old age and the 'tide coming in too quick' but was 100% coherent and in great spirits. He knew who he had talked to and mentioned he...

Is there such a thing?

Emily, I have Thursdays calendared. For the most part Ian spared this part of Florida. There's a few trees down, and I had 7.5 inches of rain in 24 hours. Nothing like the SW Coast of Florida or...

I'm in. Emily, just tell me what day / time :)

Second only to Chuck (Paladin), when Dave and I were working on Sarah, Jamie was the most generous with knowledge, advice, materials. There's...

Hey guys - Has anyone heard from Jamie or is able to get any info ? :(

Just checking in. Does anyone have any new info?

Wow. Glad that you're around to tell the story. I hope full recovery come easily.

Man's inhumanity to man knows no bounds :(

You're being too kind.

Back to my original point, I think he should be charged with kidnapping x50 :mad::mad:

Emily,

I honestly didn't know that. For some reason, probably lack of attention or just guessing on my part, I thought he was of Cuban or Puerto Rican descent. He certainly doesn't miss an...

Not all of them :(

Some of us are embarrassed to tears. :(
