Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: CarolC Date: 06 Oct 02 - 01:01 PM LL... I like it! ("Questionable sense of humour" is my middle name ;-) Awwwww! You will most certainly be missed, hesperis! We'll be making a trip to Ontario some time in the next year. Maybe we can come see you then. So we'll be hitting the road for West Virginia and the DC area in a couple of hours. YeeeeHaaaa!!!! On the road again! |
|
Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: hesperis Date: 05 Oct 02 - 01:08 PM Of course you're a southern belle, Carol. You're south of newfie-land, aren'tcha? Will not make it in person, but will definitely be there in spirit! *Many, many hugs!* |
|
Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: Lyrical Lady Date: 05 Oct 02 - 12:19 PM Carol ...The "Mary Ellen Carter" sounds good...rise again..rise again! You could team it up with "She"ll be Comin' 'Round the Mountain"...when she comes...when she comes! LL (whose sense of humour is questionable this morning!) |
|
Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: CarolC Date: 05 Oct 02 - 12:05 PM Thanks Micca! Yeah, MAG, what's that southern belle thing all aboot, I wonder? Thanks DonD! Hey Dan! Que pasa? Yup! One more week from today! I'm trying to pick out some music right now. JtS thinks "The Mary Ellen Carter" would be a good song to end the ceremony with ("rise again, rise again"). What do you-all think? |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 04 Oct 02 - 10:31 PM Hmmmmm Sorry about the "Terrible Title" I guess "Will you marry me CarolC would have been more descriptive. But that would have ruined the suspense wouldn't it? Anyway, she read it. Thats the main thing! Only one more week!!! YaaaaHooooo |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: DonD Date: 08 Sep 02 - 09:09 PM Just back from many distractions, including my 49th wedding anniversary, I almost mssed this thread because of its terrible title, and her I am trying to hunt and peck through tear-blurred eyes. Congratulations and all good wishes for your 50th! Remember that obvious love and music will handle 99% of your future, but the last 1% will take plain hard work. THIS IS GREAT!!! |
|
Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: MAG Date: 08 Sep 02 - 07:11 PM Ah, this explains the MHT thread. I was thrown off by the reference to CarolC as a Southern Belle. Since when is a New England Yankee a Southern Belle? MAG, who has her computer back, as well as her correct handle. |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: Micca Date: 08 Sep 02 - 06:32 PM Carol... I missed this thread until Hesperis brought it to my attention.. Many congratulations and best wishes to you both, Jack, You are one lucky guy as Carol is one of the nicest 'Catters I have been lucky enough to meet in 3D, and if she cares for you then you need no other introduction or recommendation for me. May you have a long and happy life together, not being able to congratulate you in person makes my absence from the Getaway, this year, that bit harder to bear, Morty will have to do the honours on my behalf, and if you guys fancy a trip to England.. you have somewhere to stay.. big hugs and much of all the good stuff, Micca |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: wysiwyg Date: 07 Sep 02 - 02:27 PM Any time! Any other takers? ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: CarolC Date: 07 Sep 02 - 01:57 PM Hey Susan. Thanks! We're going to be busy moving my stuff the week before and the week after the wedding. Then the Getaway, and then hauling my stuff back here to Georgia, so I'm not seeing any time in the near future when a trip out your way would be possible. Appreciate the offer though. That's very kind. |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: wysiwyg Date: 07 Sep 02 - 12:29 PM Well, we have semi-private honeymoon space here, and room for any Catters that would crash it! CarolC, let me know if you would like a MudGather here in honor of.... anytime! ~Susan |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: hesperis Date: 06 Sep 02 - 12:25 PM I think we need a part 2... If I wasn't supposed to be somewhere else right NOW, I'd make one. *g* |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 06 Sep 02 - 06:15 AM Jack said, "Carol is my home" You two are gonna do just fine! Abundant blessings on you both! This is one of the best things to happen on the 'cat ever! (but why does this thread keep freezing my computer at work? Seriously! I've tried to follow it for the last few days, but it just can't take all the joy, I guess!) |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 06 Sep 02 - 12:20 AM Mudcat Hoser Tavern |
|
Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 06 Sep 02 - 12:17 AM We don't know exactly when and where yet. We're trying to arrange something where 'catters and my acoustic guitar pals can come and jam. We'll be letting y'all know pretty soon. |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 06 Sep 02 - 12:14 AM Lynn!!!!!! Me darlin!!!!! I do sing such songs! But that is not the reason for that name! Carol, from the first time we Met on the 'Cat, is the reason for that name. Go to Mudcat Hoser Tavern! (the thread) Carol starts talking about her love for Canada, which impresses the he11 out of me! I decide to pay her back by introducing her to Newfoundland! She likes that so much that I choose a Mudcat name which embodies the seagoing, fun-loving spirit of Newfoundland. The character from this song! JACK WAS EVERY INCH A SAILOR If you read the thread carefully you will see us flirting and me sticking up for her when someone tries to curtail her accordion playing! I still would do that! I love her accordion playing now that I've heard her in real life! |
|
Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: hesperis Date: 06 Sep 02 - 12:06 AM YAY!!!!!!! When exactly?????!! He's cool. He'd have to be for our Carol, anyway. |
|
Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: CarolC Date: 05 Sep 02 - 11:57 PM Cool! Of course you and Jande are invited, hesperis!
(And all other 'catters, if they want to come!) Ain't he a hunk, CS? |
|
Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: Celtic Soul Date: 05 Sep 02 - 11:56 PM Thank ye, JtS! Now, Mr., I have but one more question for you! Do you call yourself "Jack the Sailor" because you sing shanties and nautical music??? If so, yer OK in my book! ;D |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: Celtic Soul Date: 05 Sep 02 - 11:23 PM So, I get this call at nearly 11 at night. It's my sister, CarolC. She wants to talk to me before I read a certain thread at the 'Cat. Man...the things that happen when you go away for 2 weeks. ;) I am related to this woman, and I had no idea she was even involved with anyone. :::snort!!::: So, I went looking for a pic of Jack the Sailor, and I replied to his PM, warning me ahead of time so I would not be blown over ;) (sprry, m'lad...too late!) But there are no pics of Jack the Sailor. I'd really like to see what my new bro-in-law looks like before I meet him in person. I think it would be nice to carry on the tradition Carol started, and talk to him and see him for the first time on the web. I am completely tickled here. All I can say is, it's about time she had some happiness. I am all for that. So, keep her happy, Jack...or you'll have a little red headed spitfire to answer to. >;D |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: hesperis Date: 05 Sep 02 - 10:59 PM I think her hint was both. She's near Susan, too. |
|
Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: CarolC Date: 05 Sep 02 - 07:43 PM Hey Jande! Thanks! Is your hint about you coming to the wedding, or about us coming to where you are some time?
Great song Wolfgang! Thanks to all of you for your kind thoughts and wishes. I wish you could all be with us when we tie the knot. |
|
Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: gnu Date: 05 Sep 02 - 08:12 AM Well, well, well !!! A true romance. Thanks for sharing (and daring, Jack) the moment with us. Ain't love grand !!! Congratulations. |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: Wolfgang Date: 05 Sep 02 - 03:47 AM The oldest known German love song for you both (12th century, tune lost):
Du bist min, ich bin din,
You are mine, I am yours* *the ancient legally binding oath for betrothal Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: Jande Date: 04 Sep 02 - 04:25 PM CarolC and JtS... Bless you, bless you, bless you both!! ::wipes away some tears, but they just keep on coming:: How wonderful for you to have met and loved here and then to have found it was the same (even better!) in Real Life. I met my Beloved on the internet in a group like this. I've been living with him for two years now and every day is a joy, even in the face of some pretty huge obstacles. My wish for you both is the same kind of deep ongoing joy in each other. He'll be a Canadian, to, one of these years! CarolC, I just missed you when you came to Orillia, and I was sorry for that. But Washington DC is only a few (5 or 6) hours away from where I am now. (HINT!) ;`) Again, Bless you both! ~ Jande |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: CarolC Date: 04 Sep 02 - 04:10 PM I'm finding myself at a bit of a loss for words right now. My life has a lot of love and beauty in it these days, and this thread and all of you who have posted to it have added yet more beauty to it. So I'm feeling pretty blessed right now.
Thank you everyone, for your kind and loving words, and your good thoughts and wishes. I'm so thankful that the beginning of my life with Rob is being blessed by all of you lovely people in such a beautiful way. Rob is a dear, sweet, handsome man, and the two of us make a good team. He is everything I could have hoped for in a partner, and more. And he makes me laugh. What could be better than that? |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: C-flat Date: 04 Sep 02 - 01:16 PM I presume this must be a first on Mudcat! Congratulations to you both! Can I just say Jack, you're setting impossibly high romantic standards for the rest of us and I'm seriously considering not showing this to the future Mrs.Flat for fear of comparison.:~) Wishing you both a long and happy future together, C-flat. |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: Fortunato Date: 04 Sep 02 - 01:08 PM Wonderful news. Congratulations and best wishes to you both. Is this the first "met on the mudcat" wedding, I wonder? I don't recall another. Chance |

Subject: RE: No B.S. Newfie Nuptuals? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 04 Sep 02 - 12:20 PM I can say without qualification, that Carol is the finest person I have ever known. She is super nice on the internet but much nicer in person. |
