Aerosmith- Longevity in a rock band is hard to find. They're great.

50 year Rolling Stones anniversary shows coming up. 2 in London Town and 2 at the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. I love the old Stones and Mick Taylor days.

Jagger is like a fermenting grape these days. hahaha!

Going off line, see ya'll tomorrow.

peace-out

NEWS FLASH- Meds arrived this morning by 10am as promised by optumrx. Missed early dose but back on the saddle by noon. Actually, they did a good job overnighting the order like they promised.

Now I have to watch for the original order that was lost in case it shows up from never never land. Expensive stuff so they are concerned what happened to it. I told them "Don't worry, it's not like I'm hoarding the s--t I'm so in love with it".

Any ideas on how to stop the nausea. I hate that the most.

Yo Tatoo Bear- They have Stevie as #7 on Rolling Stone magazines 100 greatest guitarists. He should be #5 ahead of Chuck Berry. My late brother loved Stevie Ray Vaugn. 

Ya ever been to Memphis for the IBF Challenge. Week long event.

:)

 Never been to the IBF challange but I did spend 6 weeks in Tennessee last summer and floated some rivers. Nolachuckie (sp) was one of them. Went to some out of the way clubs while I was there and saw some good local bands. There are so many "lists" out there and it all boils down to personal choice. As well as smokin a guitar you have to be a showman as well.

I was nauseated a lot during my pregnancies and I used crackers and cola syrup over ice, and that helped.  I am hearing ginger is a real good thing too.  I plan to try something called Instant Ginger Tea.

Try an over the counter Nausea tablet with 25mg Meclizine HCI, works sometimes.

MJ, I say BINGO! Were it not for a sense of humor I would not have survived. Like in many tribulations, in treatment attitude rules. It is hard to get a happy person down.

Thanks Captain Rash... Aye Aye

I plan on joining very soon countdown is on.. may I make a reservation for 1- plez- 54 year old lunatic.

I like to pre order , a shot of dragon juice followed by helping of Ribiviran and for dessert a gulp of Incivek.

May I skip the butter contest and sign up for the groan and moan lounge.

I was hoping the " Butt wipers or the " Riba Rage Rage band " would be joining this cruise. but I heard the

 " Odds  & Ends"  could really blow it out..

Are there reclining chairs located on the poop deck,  as I will be half zonked with my other frirends no

scracth or flip- out helpers .

song choice very nice, I feel the inner pirate emerge.

Will check into to port soon..

MJ aka Stephanie

 

PS thank you for your wicked sense of humor........rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Welcome to HEPPER Cruises the fun carnival party ship's HMS Victrelis and USS Incivek . This extended cruise promises to fulfill youre every expectation of leisure and relaxation - with an exciting cuisine to boot!

Your journey begins with a buffet dinner provided by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and followed by an evening of dart throwing and a competitive Butter eating contest.

Captain Rash is pleased to welcome two medical groups joining us this trip; The International Proctologists Society and the American Psychiatric Fellows.  Musical entertainment will be provided by the renowned Jazz group The Odds and Ends

Please join us each evening on the Poop Deck for sing-along with the Captain. Tonights performance will be:   

Yo Ho Ho And A Bottle Of Rum   

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
The bosun brained with a marlinspike
And cookey's throat was marked belike
It had been gripped by fingers ten;
And there they lay, all good dead men
Like break o'day in a boozing ken.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

. Fifteen men of the whole ship's list
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
The skipper lay with his nob in gore
Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore
And the scullion he was stabbed times four
And there they lay, and the soggy skies
Dripped down in up-staring eyes
In murk sunset and foul sunrise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
