Don't think of it as a bribe- think of it as a pleasant distraction to give Mick a fighting chance to make it throught the weekend...

BB - anything that I can be bribed with I can get for myself. I already have a banjo player and anything I can't get he provides. I have no Achilles heel, trust me.

Lovely - even more victims to play with.

Mick - I've said before, flattery will get you nowhere.

Tom, you know us - we wouldn't do anything nasty, would we????

BB the tiramisu won't work on me - don't like coffee or chocolate - back to the drawing board.

And Sins ...... I will have a bucket of water near at all times. Just remember. I am Irish. We don't get even ...... we get ahead.

Just had my attention called to Micca's post. Threatening me with a banjo player, Mr. Patterson? Very unwise. You too are on the list for people to be dealt with at the Getaway. I have a giant "GOTCHA" planned for you. Keep in mind that I will be in ladylike mode. You won't see it coming. That goes for you too Mick and your little friend Bobert too.

Neutering? That would be cutting off my nose to spite my face (or something)! By the way, it's too late for Seamus anyway.

Cat - I'm USING the handcuffs and whip so they are easily to hand.

SINS - I've explained away the bruises and the Doctor is happy now. Problem is Kendall will insist on trying to get to the keyboard so I have to be fairly hard on him, until I get him trained. I reckon that Bobert can be dealt with quite easily - he's such a sweetie we can soon have him under control. Maybe we can do P-vine a favour and send him home a better Bobert.

Amos - Home Security have NO IDEA just how bad this can get! That's all cotton candy compared to a concerted attack by a group of determined females. There is no escape once we decided that you need to be dealt with - it's best not to aggravate the situation and get tangled up with rabble rousers like Big Mick.

Camp Ramblewood for October 14-17, 2005. BWI still the nearest airport, technically followed by PHL, though given where people actually drive from, DCA and IAD might be better choices than PHL.

We'll shift camps to West River (and the weekend to early November) for 2006. Nearest airport: still BWI (it's even closer to West River than Ramblewood).

Maybe 2007, we can hope to have West River in October.

Neutering???? That never crossed my mind - too obvious. Wonder if we should tell Bobert of our plan for him, Jacqui? Simpler and less painful than for Mick but very subtle. We will have to get P-vine to ensure success.

And for any of you ladies who are thinking of falling for Mick's promises of chocolate and flowers, just examine my empty ring finger three years after the promise. The man can't be trusted. He actually thinks we can be distracted by "decent" champagne! He should consider himself lucky if I don't replace his potato with a prickly pear.

By the way, j. Loosen those handcuffs. Dr. Hotelling is asking questions about the bruises. And besides, he is a Captain. It is just not dignified. There are other ways to control him..."and his little dog too."

I'm sort of half-planning to come again this year, this time with the fair Vanessa in tow. Might add a few days to take in a few sights and/or annoy a few friends (anyone that would have us, that is). And/or line up a couple of gigs, perhaps (advice?).

But is it going to be at Camp Ramblewood again? Or somewhere else? Where should we fly to?

Well, there's always the high-E string around the nipple technique, if it gets desperate. But maybe the desire for whips will dissipate if we provide enough chocolate.

Here's a question, girls -- is it dark chocolate, or milk chocolate, that makes you feel the best?

Whaddya think??

Amos, bb, all you lads, ..... we have to do something to rescue Cap'n Kendall and First Mate Seamus from the clutches of Sins and Jacqui. I love them both, but they have neutering on the brain. I fear for the safety of their ........ you know. And we canna afford to lose any amongst us if we are to have any chance at all in the fall.

Well, from now on the Cap'n will be handcuffed to the bed every night - that should keep him out of mischief, or maybe not.

Boys, flattery will not work here - we're a hard-hearted lot and don't fall for all that guff.

Y'all are way too wrought up about this. What harm do you imagine?

Hmmmmm??

What could go wrong???

Willya keep the cure on the QT anyway, as it's hard enough for some of us to make a getaway to the Getaway, without husbands at home reading about chocolate, champagne, liquor and well-sung love songs by handsome, dear men.

It's not looking safe for US anymore, I tellya!

YOU ARE A GENIUS, MICHAEL PATTERSON!!! An absolute, friggin' genius. First, we load a cabin full of chocolate, decent champagne bought on sale, and flowers. Then we set up shop with a banjo, bagpipes, and a bodhran, in the sleeping cabin. That will keep us safe ........ wait ........ damn ......... how the hell are we going to be able to sleep then??????? Shit, another one down the tubes. Keep at 'er, brave boys.

Well, I got home four days ago and I'm well enough now to sit up and take nourishment so I've been catching up on this Getaway 2005 thread. It will be great fun - and just maybe warmer. On that last night in 2004 I wish I'd thought of going to our cabin and lugging back my sleeping bag. I'd have been toasty sitting there into the night.

Mick, I had to cut back all kinds of grandiose plans on my trip. But I had a great time - met "a lot of good people and I call them friends", saw lots of beautiful scenery and LOTS of snow (especially in the Winnipeg area), lots of big sky and landscapes... My aim on this trip was to collect pretty pictures in my head to run across my mind in the days and years to come- and that goal was fully realized.
