Hey Claudia! Thanks again, and yes we did have a great time there!
OK so now I have a deer story too. We have a pregnant doe that comes to the window every day. We've had snow up to the heavens this year and the poor thing is hungry. Oh I KNOW we're not supposed to get the wildlife dependiing on us for their food, but what got me is that you can actually see that her sides are moving! Starvation is a terrible death and this would be a double. So, she's being maintained so to speak until things become green out there!

Granted, Gayle, my shirt did have a foliage feel to it, but as I recall, Miss Candy also tried to sample your posterior. And, as I recall, Candy took on a new and more hooves on approach to our relationship when you suggested I "just grab her nose". That resulted in two very pointy hooves heading for my cranium and my ample posterior propelling itself across the yard at warp speed.
Word of warning...never grab a deer's nose.

Well, I dont think Candy didnt "like" T, I think it was very much the OPPOSITE!! Remember the "foliage" shirt?? Remember we decided it really wasnt Candy's fault at all ! You were "ripe" for the pickin, T

Hi Everyone!
I was wondering if anyone was back here at this site. Just happened to stop by and was very happy to see everyone banding together.
CLAUDIA: I swear, strage but true, I was going to e-mail you today to see how you were since I thought the site was semi-abandoned. I can't believe my eyes, but I've always loved this posting site. Thank you for that!
I wish I had a Phil story to share, but sadly I don;t. I have an "almost" story... does that count? lol My family and I went on a Vancouver BC/Seattle vacation 2 summers ago and I asked Claudia if she was able to get in touch with Phil to let him know we'd love to buy him a beer - actually a glass of milk and a cookie since he had just been ill. Claudia, you called my cell phone and said you were still trying to contact him for us. An we did so appreciate you did that for us. Alas, he never called you back, but sometimes things are not meant to be. We'll never get that next chance.....sigh.
When you called us, we were at elevation in Olympic Park and missed speaking with you directly. I tried to get the phone number off my cell phone but it didn;t save it for some reason. I did e-mail you our thanks when we got back home, but I never heard from you. Hope you did get that message at some point!! So that's my "almost Phil" story!
Hope everyone continues to post here. Miss you ladies!

Hey, Gayle mentioned the deer incident. 
Thanks for posting the pics...yes even Candy. 
Dana I'm really glad you still have your pink crab. I remember buying them in the store. The woman thought I was nuts when I bought so many. She probably thought I had some weird disturbing fetish.

Candy was a dear deer who didn't like T for some reason but LOVED me.......
Candy was a tamed deer that Deb had living at her beautiful home. Deb, bless her heart....takes in any stray and gives them a REALLY nice life. Animals was one of MANY passions Deb and Phil shared together.

T - OMG girl! I am sooooo happy to see you hear!!! You have been missed dearly. My little pink crab you got me is setting on top of my TV and every time I look at it I think of you and miss you. I have made a pin with the Cornelia Marie colors and not only am I going to wear one during Season 6 out of memory of Phil, my little "T" crab will be wearing one as well. I am happy to hear that you and your man are still together and that things are going good. I hope he realizes just how lucky he is to have such a beautiful, wonderful girl like you!!! Don't be a stranger around here. We have so missed our beautiful red-headed sistah. Much love you to sweetie!!!

Yes, Phil DID become quite infatuated with Chester. It still amazes me just how into animals Phil was. You just don't really think a rough tough harley man would love animals the way Phil did.

Hi. I heard Phil had passed on the radio. I thought of you Claudia, and you Gayle, and the Sistah site. It was impossible to wrap my brain around the fact that Phil passed. He was such a big personality. You thought he was indestructible.. You might still have the picture, Claudia, of Phil, Chester, and I. Chester liked Phil when they met. He usually growls at male voices, but not at Phil. Phil was fascinated by Chester. For those who don't know, Chester is my chihuahua who was born without eyes. Phil asked me questions on how Chester managed to get around. Anyway...I'm really sorry about Phil. It must be a terrible time for his friends and family.
I hope all the DC sistahs are doing well. Time seems to have just flown right by. I don't get on anymore. I have a job that keeps me pretty busy and I still see the guy I was seeing the last time I posted. I still have great memories from the Seattle trip. Gayle was a gracious host and both she and Claudia were even sweeter than they seem. And for the record...I steer very clear of deer now a days.

I'm working from home this weekend so I can't spend much more time here but....
Bubbles...it was so much fun sharing that Seattle trip with everyone here. Its a shame that Facebook wasn't that popular back then or I would have used Facebook for an even better blow by blow report. As it was, I had to wait until I could get my laptop up to share reports. Oh well....we worked with what we had at that time.
I dug up the picture Gayle took just as she told Phil who I was....
This is yet another one of my cherished photos...Notice John *grin*...he, me and Gayle had already "spent the night together". LOL (alright you dirty minds.....all the utmost innocent...I promise)
And then the first or many hugs to come..
Damn...I'm getting all misty eyed!

I had no idea who Dhani was either. But Phil CERTAINLY did. Dhani's a football player for the Bengals, I think its the Bengals (Baseball is my game). Anyway, he has a show on the Travel Channel called "Dhani Tackles the Globe". His hands were like the size of dinner plates! LOL
Bubbles and everyone, I know the snarky incident from the Seattle trip gets everyone riled up but really....after the initial shock, I just considered the source and let it slide. I didn't tell Phil because I knew he would get pissed off and to tell you the truth...this person was not worth him (or anyone else) getting his blood pressure up.
In hindsight, if I had told him, he might have totally cut that person off (I know he talked trash about this person from time to time...even to me) and all the mess surrounding his funeral might have been avoided. Hindsight is always 20/20 though......
Enough of the negative right? This board is for all things GOOD about The Man! And there is a hell of a lot of more GOOD about him than negative.
I thought of this yesterday.
The first Thanksgiving after I "met" Phil, I had not heard from him in a couple of weeks. Then they went to sea so I figured it would be after he got back before (or if) I heard from him. A couple nights before Thanksgiving, Gayle called and said "Are you really busy right now?". I said "No, why?". She said she had just got off the phone with Phil and he wanted me to call him on the boat but I had to do it right then and there. I was VERY puzzled about why and Gayle wouldn't tell me! LOL I was also a little reluctant to call him on the boat too. After Gayle and I hung up, I dialed the number and sure enough....that husky, wonderful, sexy voice answered. All he wanted to do was to tell me "Happy Thanksgiving". I was gobsmacked that he would be willing to spend that much money just to wish me a "Happy Thanksgiving". He also gave me an email address that I could send him messages while he was on the boat too. I would send him jokes and all sorts of little messages. He told me later on that he enjoyed getting my messages and that sometimes the jokes came just when he needed a chuckle.
I sure miss the hell out of him!

ohhh mg!!! i cannot believe that someone actually said that to you claudia omg who was it and i want their address. we were all so excited for you of course there had to be one arsehole who was jealous, so sad. we lived vicariously through that trip you took and i wouldnt give up a second of it!!, the birthday suit story was very enjoyable i am so grateful that i got to befriend all of the friends ive made on here, when my chips were down and i was a mess last year, when i came in here this was one of the few things that felt "normal" and "right" to me. there were days in that hospital where i literally didnt know who i was or why i was there they had me on so many meds. and to come home and not feel like myself and have everything seem so out of sorts it was horrible but i came here and i recognized the names and they were MY friends and I knew the names and I KNEW that i was home and i was going to be ok. so please do not ever let anyone ever take that from any of us, i know i wont no matter what. i look forward to the duck fart story and elf my friend i have missed your humor these passed months you are all a blessing to me i know God loves me because he put all of you in my life.

Elf - I am soooo glad to see you here on the board. It has been way too long. What you said about Phil was beautiful and as elegant as any other comment left here. Phil would be flattered by all this outpouring. I agree with you! He was "our" captain. Like I stated in an earlier message, we all came here to find a place we could go to an ogle over our Captains. We all came here because we had huge "crushes" on the both of them, but through their friends (Gayle, Claudia, Deb, etc.) we learned to love and appreciate them, not for being "characters" on a show, but to truly love and respect them for THEM. For the PEOPLE they were and are. I don't think there is one person amongst us sistahs who wouldn't go to the ends of the earth to protect any of them from nasty Trolls who only wanted to be associated with them because of their "celebrity status". I know that I feel so privileged to have learned about, not "Captain Phil" or "Captain Johnathan", but about just everyday Phil and John.
Gayle - When Dylan was really struggling with coming to terms with his health issues, you took a risk on someone you didn't really even know and confided in me that you and Phil were friends. Knowing that Dylan was a fan, especially of Phil and John, you went out of your way for two complete strangers and made a then 11 year-old boy very happy. To this day, I will never forget the smile that spread from ear to ear when he saw Phil and John's autographs. How do you ever repay that compassion and generosity? You have always been my Angel and I love you dearly. It still brings tears to my eyes when I remember that one moment when Dylan opened your gift. I was told recently by someone that Phil talked about Dylan from time to time. I actually believe this because they didn't know me from any other joe blow and she knew details about Dylan. But, that was exactly how Phil was. When someone touched his heart, he never forgot.
Claudia - My other sweet Angel. We all know exactly how Phil felt about you and it is a shame that someone would try to defile Phil and John's generous act of kindness for a friend all out of the name of jealousy. He loved you and no one can EVER take that from you!!!! We all love you too our wonderful Grand Poobah!!!
To all my other sistahs - I thank God everyday for you! What a beautiful, lifelong gift Phil has given us all. Hugs!!

 Hey Gayle! Don't worry about letting off some steam. You handle it with nothing but class, girlfriend!
Yes, the Atlanta trip was after the trip to Seattle Phil and John gave me. Bless their hearts....they are both kind and generous men, for sure. I remember the night you called me and told me Phil wanted to do it and I argued with you and said I would not accept! LOL A few minutes later, he himself called and told me that I was coming out because the trip was a gift from him and John and he didn't want to hear another word about it! LOL That man was stubborn, for sure.
My raising the kids by myself concerned Phil quite a bit. We talked about our kids often. He would give me his "salty" advice and I would give him mine. Kids (no matter how old they are) will be kids...and nothing "ain't" ever going to change that! Is there anybody here that doesn't know that??? *grin*
I did get very upset at the person that spun that tale but I never told Phil, you, St. Deb , and Tweet Theresa about it even though yall were hounding the hell out of me! LOL I knew it wasn't true because like you said....Phil never did anything he didn't want to do. So after I calmed down, I knew it was only the figment of a jealous, mean, controlling mind.
When I was telling Phil bye so I could get over to Deb's, he kept trying to get me to stay with him and Tambre and go to a BBQ with them but I refused because I didn't want to be around that person at all.
Gayle, I am SO happy that Phil had people in his life like you and Deb, and a few others that TRULY cared for him just because he was Phil. People that knew him before his celebrity and didn't take advantage of it. I know in my heart of hearts he knew that he could trust yall and could (and did) take refuge with you when he needed down time. I admire you two very much for looking out for him and fighting against the things and people that only wanted to be his friend because of his celebrity. I applaud you and Deb for what you did for that man. You found non-evasive ways to share him with his fans and found yourselves having to protect his privacy on and offline. I will forever be grateful to you for your hard work.
Southernelf....it has been waaaaay to long! I am so glad to see you back. Yeah...sad terrible circumstances...but we need to hang together cause he certainly was proud he was responsible for all of us coming together.
I found the pic of Phil and Dhani....two star struck men! LOL
And then Phil took this.....

Claudia,the Atlanta trip you wrote about...wasnt that trip AFTER you came to Seattle?? The trip that Phil paid for??
Girls- Phil wanted to buy Claudias plane ticket up here, I asked if he and John wanted to help out, because Claudia had her grandkids, and it was tough for her at that time.
He gave me his credit card, and said"Put the whole ticket on here, I'll catch up with John later"
Can you believe that some hateful, vile person actually TOLD Claudia when she got here that Phil was forced to buy that ticket?! Can ANYONE imagine Phil being forced to do ANYTHING??
Phil had a good heart, and he loved Claudia. I think some peoples jealousy and need to be "close" to Phil got the better of them
Thankfully our Miss Claudia saw thru that and remained Phil's "Georgia Peach" He would have been pretty disgusted to have heard that story.
I'll get off my soapbox now...sorry to inject anger, but I want you all to know Phil was a generous good man. Celebrity draws garbage no matter how kind you are.

Great stories Claudia-Glad we had this forum. I know alot of people were treated pretty badly on the other ones that came after this one.
I actually havent watched DC for maybe a year and a half?? We did watch a few episodes after visiting Phil in December because he was telling us about certain things that went on, but Im clueless as to what actually goes on in the show anymore.
I never felt the need to flaunt my friendship with Phil either, and you ladies understood that and were my friends anyway. It didnt make me "more important" in my own mind
Its been really cool remembering these moments Claudia wrote about, when Phil was still being Phil and enjoying his life
Thanks girls!!!!

I've held off making my comment till now, because I really don't know what to say. I'm not as eloquent as some of you.
I am deeply saddened by his passing. My heartfelt sympathies to his family, his many friends, and also to all my friends on this board, all brought together by "Phillicious."
I never had the privilege of meeting him in person, yet I felt as though I knew him a little bit through your comments, and of course the TV show. I thought of him as "our" Phil.
I will remember that whiskey and cigarettes voice,those eyes, blue green bolts of fury, sparkling at a joke, (remember the truck?) warm pools (sometimes) when talking about his kids, sparkling with humor, and of course, that wicked, wicked sense of humor!
Above all he seemed to be a person of integrity. A man who unabashedly loved his family, and would always go the extra mile for his friends.
Thanks to Phil, I have "met" some wonderful friends here on this board, AND, OF COURSE, THANKS TO YOU, O GREAT POO-BAH!

Claudia, I love the idea of wearing the ribbons all through Season 6! I think Phil would be honored by outpouring of love from all of us. I am glad to hear we will have chat back up and running. You will be missed when you aren't there, but I do know that this season is going to be as tough as they come for us and we are going to have to lean on each other to get through it all. I have debated on whether or not I can even watch it, but Phil would not want us to stop just because what happened. I always try to keep that in the back of my head when I think I just can't do it. What are we going to do without our Phil?
NOW...for the camera. Any interesting pics we should know about? I'd be more than happy for you to email them to me.
I hope John decides to visit us in chat every now and then. We are going to need our other Captain as well. However, we all can be kinda scary when we are all in one room together.
I love ya sweetie! I hope you are doing okay. Talk soon! HUGS!

I had my camera, Dana! 
Yet another wonderful...hilarious...sweet Phil memory.
My Daddy lives in West Virginia. My sisters and I drive up there at least once a year to visit with him. Its a 8-10 hour drive (depending on whether we are in a hurry or not). Anyway, prior to this particular trip, Phil and I had talked several times and each time we talked, he would tell me to be sure to call him from the road so he could go on speaker phone and "meet" my sisters.
The day of the trip, I tried a couple times to reach him with no luck. My sisters and I have the best times during these trips. We laugh and cut up like nobody's business. About 100 miles from the hotel we stay in on these trips (my Daddy lives another 20 miles from this hotel)....it was already dark cause traffic had been bad and due to our cutting up....I took a wrong turn at one point. Anyway, we were tired and ready to fall into bed. I thought I would try Phil one more time to liven things up a bit before giving up. Well, I got his voice mail again. No sooner than I hit the End button, my phone rang and it was our one and only Captain.
He was somewhere having a good time but he still wanted to talk to my sisters. So I put him on speaker phone. Well...you'd have thought my sisters suddenly had their tongues cut out! I was shocked. Anyway, Phil asked us what we were going to do once we got to the hotel and one of my sisters piped up...."Go the the nearest liquor store".
He laughed and said "So somebody IS alive in the car!"
It was then he asked us if we knew how to mix a "Durk Fart". One of my sisters has worked for AFLAC for many years. She looked at me with this exaggerated look of shock on her face and piped up "Heeeeeyyyyy". Phil said "What's wrong". I told him where she worked (I was pleasantly surprised he knew what AFLAC) and all we could imagine when he said "Duck Fart" was the commerical duck doing the deed! LOL We all had a huge laugh at the duck's expense. Everytime I see one of those commercials, I think of Phil. I know that's not what AFLAC has in mind but whatever!
After the laughter subsided, he asked us if we wanted the recipe. We said "Yeah". So that's when he told us to get some Baileys, Kahlua, and Crown Royal and how to mix it. Unfortunately, the liquor stores were closed by the time we got there. No....we got there at a decent hour...its just that town rolls up the sidewalk at dark! So we had to settle for beer from the convenience store. Needless to say the beer didn't relax us nearly as much as a "Duck Fart" might would have but you have to do what you can do.
On a side note, the article (posted below) that Gayle sent me that described Phil to a tee....I sent that link to several of my friends in my office that had been concerned about Phil. One of my colleagues stepped into my office and told me how much he enjoyed reading the article. Well....my closest friend in the office picked up on the "Duck Fart" reference and since I had not told her this story....decided to google it to find out what it was. Needless to say, she had the whole back side of our office discussing "Duck Farts". It was sooo funny to listen to. I finally stepped out of my office and told them why she had googled it and thought it was such a topic of discussion. It was a hilarious moment during such a sad time.

We had planned to have a bonfire & drinks on Saturday night...but I found I could not peel myself away from the TV! I kept watching DC & still having to remind myself that there is only 1 more "season" of Phil footage. Hard to swallow still. That little montage for Phil....made me choke up everytime!
My thoughts go out to Jake as well right now. I know he is having a rough time, and I pray that he takes the time to breath & heal. Hopefully the afterfall won't be too severe for him.
Great to read everyone's stories and memories. Makes me feel more "connected", even though I have never met Phil of any of you in person. I miss the chats...maybe come April we can begin them once again.

Thank you Denise. You are too sweet and kind.
And to all of you that have said this is a place for everyone to come together and forge really solid good friendships. Every time Phil and I talked about this board, he was amazed at how many good solid friendships had been made AND how he was in the middle of it all by being the object of our affection. He really was interested and cared about all of his fans.

OK...Phil is laying in rest now, so I can tell you the rest of the Phil in his birthday suit story.
This was still the Atlanta trip. During the wait for Phil's appearance on stage, he asked the Discovery rep if she could arrange for him to have a massage that evening. This was early after the embolism and he was still having problems with the leg that had the other half blood clot they were trying to dissolve. His doctor told him that regular massages would help relieve some of the pain and discomfort.
After the party, we headed back up to his room to get settled in for the massage and to watch DC. When we got back to the room, he pulled out the things he bought at the harley shop we went to earlier in the day and then checked his voice mails. Bless his heart, he totally gave up after a few hundred....just kidding on the number but it seemed like it. Anyway, we talked and joked around a bit. He forced me to take some cash for the gas to Atlanta and back home. I tried not to take it and we had quite a heated argument about it. He told me I was a STUBBORN WOMAN. He then got up and came over to my chair and stood over me until I put it in my purse....talk about intimidating! He did get it back though...I don't think he ever knew. Sneaky as I am!!! LOL  I won I won I won I won!!!!
That was the second time he called me a stubborn woman...the first time will be another story.
During our converstation, I told him that I have a wonderful therapeudic masseuse in Columbus that does a fantastic job on my pain. He became very concerned because he didn't know that I had problems. I told him that I have carpal tunnel and that my joints and muscles hurt a lot and that the monthly massages I get really help relieve some of that for a few days afterwards.
I told him I would ask my therapist, Carol, if she could recommend where I might research a good therapist in the Seattle area. I did do the research and gave him the information. I don't know if he ever followed up on it but I hope he did.
When the masseuse arrived, she told him she needed him to get undressed. I started to get up to leave the room and he said "I don't care if you don't care." with that fabulous laugh of his in tow. I told him I didn't care but maybe he could go into the bathroom, undress and then put a towel on. He said that was fine and went into the bathroom. When he came out, I said "OK, I'll cover my eyes while you get situated on the table." The same thing in reverse when the therapist finished.
No girls....I didn't peek. However, I was mighty tempted! *snort*
This was his first ever professional massage and I am so glad to have been able to be there....he absolutely loved it!
The show came on during the massage and the masseuse seemed really interested in our conversation. Either this lady was the most professional person I've ever met....or she really didn't know who he was.
I want to re-interate something I've posted in other places since a story was published about how Phil told them to keep the cameras rolling after his stroke. The DC episode we watched was the show prior to the "big" show in which he was airlifted out of St. Paul. At the end of the show we watched, they showed some previews for the next week. Phil was upset at some of the footage of him in the hospital gown, without his shirt, ect ect ect. This is why I hope and pray they are very careful to not cross the line with his dignity in the up and and coming show.
Well, that's the "Nekkid Phil" story. All very innocent.
Next up will be a story of how Phil introduced me to a "Duck Fart".

My sweet silly Sistahs! LOL Birthday suit Phil is totally innocent but I will write about it as soon as I can. There's a crisis at hand and I don't have time right now... but will in the next couple of days. 
The marathon has been heartbreaking!

I was reading back and Claudia, I love you and your stories!!
Did I read that right...Capt. Phil and HIS birthday suit?? I am waiting patiently (OK, not so patient) for this story! hahaha, I got a visual (not sure where it came from) but I will take it just the same!
Cathy, so sweet. This site has been amazing in that people have really cared for one another! Hard to find this type of friendly behavior in the world, so I treasure the kindness that I have received through this site as well. May this site never die.
I hear that discovery is going to CatchCon again this year, sure would be nice if some or all of the Sistahs could get together I know money is tight but it is just a thought and if anyone is game, we could try and all meet up for the evening of the century! Or week-end of pure fun. I know I could use it.
Love to all of the amazing people I have met on this site. Thanks for being there through everything.

Hello,
I am watching the DC marathon and crying my eyes out. I wish somoeone would tell me this did not happen. Please!!! This is too soon, I am glad they are doing the marathon. It is just so hard to see our Capt in all his glory. He was truly extraordinary. I just miss him so much.
Staying my prayers for Jake and Josh today. I heart is just breaking for them. I know Jake made a mistake, but I do know he will learn from this and not repeat it. God Bless them. I can not even imagine what they are going through. I hope today is not too hard for them. Bonnie, please take care of them and "momma" them a bit. I think they are going to need it.
Hope the rest of the sistahs are hanging in there and trying to cope.....me, not so well.
Love you all and I am so glad you are all here.

Just wanted to check in with all my sistahs and see how you are doing. Is everyone having as hard a time watching the DC marathon as I am? Even though I am able to smile at much of it, my heart still breaks. In case I haven't told each of you nearly enough lately, I love you all!  Oh, and I was holding it together until just now. The commercial done in memory of Phil came on and now...I am crying like a baby.  I cannot watch that commercial!!!

Claudia, thank you for yet another wonderful "Phil Memory". I would have given an arm and a leg to have witnessed Phil in his birthday suit. LOL!!! The one thing I loved about Phil was that no matter how "famous" he became, he was still just Phil. I remember the day I found this site. I had just started watching the DC and had seen Phil on the show and thought "Wow! This guy is HOT!" I wanted to find out more about him so I googled Phil and the Deadliest Catch. After going through twenty or more sites, I ran across this little website dedicated to Captain McDreamy and Captain McSteamy. I was like "Apparently I am not the only one who thinks this Captain Phil guy is gorgeous." Little did I know how big of an impact this website was going to have on my life. I was so nervous about posting here because we all know how it can be at some of the mainstream websites, but I thought "why not." I was so amazed at all the warm, welcoming responses I received. There wasn't any snide remarks or being made to feel like an outsider here. From the minute I introduced myself, I was made to feel as if I had been a part of this site since its inception. It's hard to believe that that was four years ago! And, to think all of this happened and all of us came together because we all had crushes on the captains. LOL!! Who would have ever thought that two crab boat captains could make such a huge impact on so many lives? All I can say is thank you Phil for being the reason we came together and thank you Claudia for being the reason we are all friends. I love you all!!!

My Phil memory for the day.....
In spring of 2008, Phil called me and said that he was going to be in Atlanta doing a Discovery "thing" and he wanted me to come up and spend some time with him. At that time, I could only take 1 day off and he said that was OK...just come up.
The Discovery "thing" was where they were trying to sell to advertisers. They bring in people from their successful shows and from up and coming shows. The whole thing encompassed the whole Discovery family of networks...Travel Network, Animal Planet, TLC, etc etc etc.
We were back stage waiting for Phil's moment on stage. There were lots of tables and this huge buffet. Phil and I were sitting at a table chowing down when Dhani Jones came in and recognised Phil. He came over to the table to meet him and shake hands. I had no idea who Dhani was but Phil knew. In fact, he was a bit star struck. He thought it was soooo cool that Dhani knew who he was. I had my trusty camera with me and Phil asked me to take a picture of him and Dhani together...which I was glad to oblige. I will have to dig it up and post it again.
This event was held at the Georgia Aquarium so after all the "selling" was done....there was a huge cocktail "party". Lots of free food and drinks and such. Each network had a manned or unmanned booth. The manned boothes featured some kind of entertainment such as making pictures in front of a green screen...games...contests.....etc. Phil got stuck at the picture booth because many adoring females wanted their picture with him. LOL After the crowd thinned out, he came back over to me and I told him I wanted one too. He took my elbow and escorted me through to the stage. I have that picture in my office. The pictures aren't really good...they had too much red and yellow in them....but I cherish mine.
The party took place among the enormous halls of part of the Aquarium. So in between each booth were these beautiful displays of graceful wonderful ocean life. I LOVE THE OCEAN AND ALL ABOUT IT....especially my dolphins! LOL Anyway..I digress.
Phil and I were casually walking from booth to booth and in between we would stop and look at some of the animals. We came to a tank that held a huge graceful whale shark. We were looking at it and talking. I said "I sure would hate to meet that guy in a dark alley." Phil said "Aww, you wouldn't have to worry about him...they feed off of plankton and sh*t like that." I looked at him and said "I don't care what he eats....I wouldn't want to be caught anywhere near him." It was like a light went off in his head and he started laughing this big laugh and said "Well...yeah...I guess you're right. I wouldn't want to come face to face with him either."
There are lots of memories (one of which features Phil in his birthday suit *grin*) packed into that one day and I'll share more of them in days to come.

Cathy, thanks for the alert. I have my DVR ready.
Shelli, I was reading back on some of the posts and you are absolutely right when you said....
Quote: There was always something working in his head, something that he needed to accomplish.
There was ALWAYS something going on inside that man's head! A person could get dizzy just watching him!
bubblesbgood, I had forgotten all about Stella! I still remember when Gayle called me and told me what he had gotten her! It was so funny because he knew she would be nosing around trying to find out what he had gotten her. He got all his friends to tell her he had bought her a alpaca and was trying to make arrangements to get it shipped to her. She asked me "Claudia, what am I going to do with a alpaca?????" And then came Stella!

Deadliest Catch marathon this weekend!!!! set your DVRs.
I love all the sweet posts on here, I can't put my feelings into words yet really. I never got to meet or even talk to Capt, cream cheese, but he sure made a difference in my life, I had NO friends before finding this site, now i have all you sistahs.
I owe that to Phil being so damn gorgeous.
And Ladycrab was definately attached to Phil.
If your wondering, yes, its still snowing here, (gee go figger).
My hub reloaded my puter and it lost all my emails and phone #s. Please send me a quick email so i can re-put you in my address book.
