Congrats to the DDs from ILJ and Lavabe! (although I gave them congrats verbally on the actual day, 7-8-9 !) Gee. Y'all got married on 7-8-78! Very cool. B-) B-) B-) B-) B-) B-) B-) B-) It's not my anniversary, but I do love the date of theirs. I never forget it! And this year was way cool :!: Now,...

Congrats to the DDs from ILJ and Lavabe! (although I gave them congrats verbally on the actual day, 7-8-9!) I do have a question. Why is it that although there must be 15-20 posts from DD in this thread alone, his post count stays at 1078 for every one of them? It never increases. So much for the P...

Update from Lavabe I heard from Lavabe in the middle of the night last night. He was very excited. He was trooping around in the forests of Cap d'Ambre in a pair of hiking sandals that he loves (and because his hiking boots are giving him blisters), happy that his cell phone worked from there. But h...

Actually, we did this ourselves. I'm sure that in the land of the missing "D" and "E" (missing from the UK everyone wears and displays around here), I would have gotten many dirty looks otherwise!!

For his recent birthday, Lavabe and I gave DevilDeac a Cameron Crazies t-shirt which has a personal phrase on the back. See the photos below for the front and back views. DevilDeac has a great story about the origin of the personal phrase. I'm sure he will delight us with it!

DevilDeac - I'm going to post the photos in a new thread so they won't be buried in this older post.

I apologize for not posting to this birthday thread sooner. My birthday wishes to DevilDeac were sent via DD Daughter #1 and also by a voice message by ILJ and LL in the evening. Said voice mail caused much LOLing in the DevilDeac household. I have a few photos from the birthday evening that I would...

Dear DevilDeac, What a beautiful tribute to your Father, written with such heartfelt sincerity and love. He was a man we all knew well and loved. Seeing him through your eyes in your tribute only magnifies the good qualities I already knew him to have and makes me wish I talked to him more these las...

Had my first day of teaching here. It worked well. Good students. In the second class today, I had a lot of advanced students, including one who was about 7 years old and remembers when I first arrived in Joffre-ville. It's good to be giving back to the folks here. The university in Diego is one of...

ILJ thanks sooo much for the update, fascinating read. Question that you probably know the answer to, what is the language there? From your post I get both French and Spanish. Is it either? There are 2 official languages in Madagascar, Malagasy and French. The native, most spoken language is Malaga...

Dear friends, I am posting today to let you know that LegacyLady and I received a PHONE CALL from Lavabe this morning. We were so excited! He has made it up to Diego, the northern city where he will be based from for the next 2+ months and where he has been based out of every time he has gone there....

SPECIAL Review from South of the Border (Umm... that means MADAGASCAR) 3 words: Bring One Back DD-no surprise with your response to that post, hmmm??!!! I spoke to Lavabe about that before he left. He says that he feels it is too risky and it would not make it. You've got 10 weeks to help him chang...

SPECIAL Review from South of the Border (Umm... that means MADAGASCAR) I normally REFUSE discussion of most Pilseners, unless it's a classic type. I also unfairly give OZZIE all sorts of grief for his preference for a certain light version of a Pilsener. Here is one example of a Pilsener that I wil...

Thanks all. Tilly - I will come east (maybe July) and we will get together! DIK - I will not likely come west, but thanks for the well wishes and invite. Windsor - definitely not going to Florida - too hot and humid. How do you keep your long hair so straight, frizz-free, and beautiful?! Thanks for...

Sending vibes to Lavabe for a safe trip and stay in country, and to ILJ and LegacyLady that life isn't too tough without Lavabe. So, it took Lavabe leaving to get me to sign onto CrazieTalk! Thanks Tilly and everyone for the thoughts not just for Lavabe, but for LegacyLady and me too. We are sad wi...
