Daily Chat: Lil Survivors Week 7 Nicarong Tribe

Inita

saying to no one in particular and everyone in general - After the votes at Tribal Council I see that at least most of our tribe is united. I can't help but have my feelings hurt, though. (whimpers a little) I wish I knew why two of you dislike me enough to vote for me twice... I need to work harder at helping out around camp.

My mommy always says that if life gives you lemons you should make lemonade. Starting tomorrow I'm making lemonade. Good night everyone.

May 27, 2001

Pierre

Just sitting around the camp just humming a song. "I wonder where everyone is?"

23:40
May 27, 2001

Inita

she can't get to sleep and heard Pierre, so she goes out to talk to him

Hi Pierre! What are you doing?

23:55
May 27, 2001

Pierre

Hi Inita! How are you doing!

00:01
May 28, 2001

Inita

I am feeling a little bit sad because I got two votes at tribal council tonight. I got two votes last week, too. I'm trying not to take it personally, but I can't help it. (tears welling up in her eyes)

00:04
May 28, 2001

Pierre

Oh gurly come over hear and let Pierre give you a hug.

00:08
May 28, 2001

Inita

goes and hugs Pierre, now the tears are rolling down her grubby face

00:10
May 28, 2001

Pierre

Oh gurly You can cry all you want! Those tears won't hurt me you just let them go. We all need a good cry from time to time.

00:13
May 28, 2001

Inita

after a few minutes she wipes her face and goes back to sit down.

Thank you. I needed that. It has been so hard to confess about the alliance in front of everyone and have those awful fights with Meggie. But I thought we had all made up.

00:20
May 28, 2001

Pierre

Hey gurly we need to put it behind us and go on. We all make mistakes. I know I made a big one! But I am putting it behind me everyone is my family!

00:24
May 28, 2001

Inita

OK. I will try to forget about it and move on. Thanks for being such a good friend. This game is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

00:29
May 28, 2001

Pierre

Yea I know I thought it would be easy and it isn't it hrt real bad to see Marissa leave. I liked her. But she is going to be with her Mommy and that is good. I know I miss mine.

Gets a little teary himself.

00:31
May 28, 2001

Inita

Now it's my turn to hug you. (hugs Pierre) I know, voting our members off is HARD. It makes me so sad. Marissa was sweet and I will miss her.

00:40
May 28, 2001

Pierre

Yea But is what she wanted. Now we have to band together and win so that we win the game.

00:43
May 28, 2001

Pierre

Gurly it don't matter to me who wins the game as long as it is Nicarong Tribe!

00:44
May 28, 2001

Inita

You're right. We need to focus on winning the challenges against Ocono. We can start tomorrow. (yawns and stretches) Thanks for cheering me up, Pierre! I think I'll head off to bed now. Want to sleep with us in our tent and snuggle? I feel so sad for you and Trey off on your own all the time.

00:49
May 28, 2001

Pierre

OK You want maybe I sing you to sleep? It always helps me when Mommy sings to me.

00:53
May 28, 2001

Pierre

I promise to sing low and quiet like.

00:54
May 28, 2001

Inita

Really?! Oh, yes. That would be really neat.

00:54
May 28, 2001

Pierre

Ay ay mon cher fille oh oh mon cher catin ay ay mon cher ti fille Ta casse moi couer Ay ay mon cher fille oh oh mon cher catin ay ay mon cher ti fille Ta casse moi couer Quoi faire mon cher ti fille Quoi faire mon cher catin Quoi faire mon cher ti fille ta tranne avec un autre Quoi faire mon cher ti fille Quoi faire mon cher catin Quoi faire mon cher ti fille ta tranne avec un autre

Good night Gurly

00:57
May 28, 2001

Inita

(mumbles) Good night, Pierre.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

01:00
May 28, 2001

Pierre

Rolls over and falls fast asleep.

01:05
May 28, 2001

Gia just wandering thru checking on the safety of the lil players hears Pierre singing and just can't help but wonder how someone so young had his heart broken by a girl who left with another? Those cajun boys must start young!

she sings a lullabye she knows from Martinique,

"shush shush ma famille,
shush shush dormez-vous.
la nuit s'est retournée,
donc dormez, mon chou.
*******************************************
les étoiles sont arrivées.
papa à la porte,
donc vous êtes très calmé.
ne pas crier si forte.
************************************************
mes enfants si beaux,
faites-vous pas du bruit.
j'ai besoin du sommeil.
je suis juste une jeune fille."

06:13
May 28, 2001

Pierre

Wakes up laughing! Gia that is a an old song that all the zydeco bands play! The famous singer Terrance Simien has it on his CD now. So gia why you singing baby songs to us?

10:37
May 28, 2001

Pierre

Gets his breakfast ate and starts working on the fire. Some reason it gives him a little problem this morning. After several attempts he gets it going. "Man I don't5 think I can handle Oatmeal this morning and I am plenty hungry." Maybe a little fruit would be nice so he decides to look for some in the jungle. While I am out today I am going to make some bigger traps and more of them. Need more crawfish tehn just 8 or 9. also it would be nice to have more big critter traps. I have my work cut out today!

10:49
May 28, 2001

Trey

Trey hears Pierre talking to somebody, "Hey pierre, WHO are you talkin to? And why are you sleeping in the girls tent? Do I stink that bad? Yeah, I guess I do, I'll go take my bath right now, I sure wish I had that soap I could have won at the picnic. It's better than sand any day." He get up rolls up his sleeping bag and runs to the beach to bathe.

10:52
May 28, 2001

Pierre

No Trey you don't stink Inita was upset last night so I spent the night over there.

11:02
May 28, 2001

Meggie

Meggie wakes up and sees others have slept in too. She still has a tummy ache from the lobster but is feeling better now. Meggie is afraid that Inita will think she still is angry at her but she did tell her that she did NOT vote for her to go home and she hopes Inita believes her. Like Pierre says, it is time for the tribe to band together again. Meggie decides to forgo any food for now and let her tummy rest. She goes down to the beach to see if anyone is up.

11:03
May 28, 2001

Pierre

Oh Trey I talk to myself all of the time that way I always kno wthe answer. LOL

11:04
May 28, 2001

Pierre

Morning Meggie I got some ginger here maybe that make you feel better.

11:05
May 28, 2001

Pierre

Meggie I hope that helps settle your tummy. I am sorry but I didn't hear you all talking about fixing the lobster and saving it until it was too late. I have had that before and it always makes you sick. I am sorry.

Well I have work to do. I will see you all later.

11:09
May 28, 2001

Trey

"Morning Meggie, hope your feeling better now. Don't come out here, I'm bathing, I thought everyone would appreciate that. LOL" Trey scrubs his clothes while he soaks another layer of dirt and smell off.

11:23
May 28, 2001

Trey

"Bye Pierre, see ya later! Watch out for those lizards!" He finishes his bath putting his shorts on in the water, then hangs all his washed clothes on the bushes to dry.

11:32
May 28, 2001

Meggie

Laughing, "Sorry Trey, I forgot what you said but I was walking verrrrrrry slowly so I did not see you changing back into your clothes. I stopped to talk to Pierre and to have some ginger. I figured that the water would keep the lobsters cold enough...oh well...."

11:40
May 28, 2001

11:40
May 28, 2001

Trey

"Hope the ginger helps. Just remember we all make mistakes, we just want to make sure we learn from them and don't do it again. Do you think you could keep down some oatmeal or a banana?"

12:05
May 28, 2001

Meggie

"I think my tummy is much better now than yesterday. I couldn't keep anything down then. I am just going to take it really slow now. I think I will maybe eat a banana later in the afternoon, thanks."

12:09
May 28, 2001

From Colleen, no one liked the lullabye?

Welcome to a new week on Kosrae! the pages were archived and reset (sorry I slept late) and I added a link to the luau.

Today is NO day for a barbecue, it's only 86 degrees but the heat index makes it feel 98. It is HOT out there, in spite of the 15 mph wind from the west and the showers of rain that have been on and off all morning. It's all you can do to keep your fire going today.

12:35
May 28, 2001

Pierre

Miss Colleen, I thought Gia sung a real pretty song, one like my mommy sung to me when I was a baby. I didn't know Gia was a Cajun? She doesn't sound like a Cajun to me but maybe she is from the New Iberia area, that would be why she sounds different.

15:17
May 28, 2001

Trey

"I'm going to find some breadfruit and taro and a coconut. I want to try to make some of the treats we had at the luah. I don't think Meggie is ready for a lobster dinner yet. Did Aggie or Inita eat any of the lobster?" He goes and grabs the knife and head toward the jungle."

18:04
May 28, 2001

Meggie

"Hi guys. My tummy is all better now. I rested it today. Taro sounds good to me. And maybe a banana. No, I don't want lobster today. I can help cook up the dinner tho."

18:56
May 28, 2001

Aggie

"Hi all! How are you feeling Meggie? I ate some too so thats why I wasn't around much, but I am feeling great today! Think I'll take a bath and wash my clothess today, anyone want me to do theirs too?"

19:52
May 28, 2001

Trey

"thanks Aggie, I did mine this mornin. I thought Pirerre was sleepin with yall cause Iwas a big time stinkin."

20:02
May 28, 2001

Aggie

"You don't stink Trey, and you and Pierre should just move your sleeping bags into our shelter."

20:15
May 28, 2001

Meggie

"I'll go with you Aggie. I could use some washing for me and my clothes. I'm glad you are feeling better too."

20:18
May 28, 2001

Trey

"OK, while y'all bathe I'm gonna cut up the breadfruit like frenchfries and fry them in some coconut oil. Then I'm gonna make some ainpat (banana mixed with coconut milk and breadfruit). Since I found the coconut I thought I would take advantage of it and the breadfruit. So I didn't cut any taro. That was what was really neat about the Luah(beside the food and fun) was seeing how we could cook with what we have here. It will give us something different to eat if we like it."

20:49
May 28, 2001

Trey

"DING! DING! DING! Dinner is served. Come and get it. I snacked while I was cooking, and I'm really tired, so I think I'm off to bed early for a change. Good Night and sweet dreams."

21:28
May 28, 2001

Pierre

Comes dragging several larger traps into camp. It is all he can do to pull the traps about 30 foot from the camp he gives up, and sits down.

21:36
May 28, 2001

Pierre

He walks away from the traps and walks over to the camp. "Supper sure sounds good!"

21:37
May 28, 2001

Pierre

"Well, I have finished more traps and they are about three times as big as the last ones. I have 5 crawfish traps and 3 more Lobster / crab traps. But i do believe that is where they are going to sit tonight unless some one else wants to set the traps. I am too tired and once I am done eating an early night sounds good to me."

21:43
May 28, 2001

Lolli

washes her plate off from supper and runs over and starts dragging the traps over to camp

22:18
May 28, 2001

Lolli

(whistles at the weight of the traps) WOW Pierre! what did you make these out of! Solid steal! (smiles really big!)

22:30
May 28, 2001

Lolli

starts picking up all of the bowls and such from supper and takes them to wash them...

stops about half way between the camp and the water and thinks...maybe I should take my clothes with and wash them too, since I am going that way! and runs back to the shelter to get her clothes.

22:40
May 28, 2001

Lolli

with a hammock like sack of clothes and dishes, Lolli strolls back to the water, singing...I think Pierre and Gia have gotten to me :) and she sings while she washes clothes and dishes...the grandfather clock was too large for the shelf, so it stood ninety years on the floor...but it stopped short, never to go again, when the old man died...giggles, Grandma sings that so much better than me! giggles...

22:43
May 28, 2001

Lolli

with all of the clothes and dishes washed, she decides to give herself a bath...

after she is all done, she goes back up to the camp, puts away the dishes and then, hangs her clothes up to dry and shakes out her sleeping bag and crawls in...sweet dreams everybody!!! I love you!

22:45
May 28, 2001

Meggie

Meggie wakes up early again.....boy, she thinks they sure eat dinner late (LOL). She looks around to see if Trey is up yet or even Pierre...no sign of them...Meggie starts to tend to the fire and doles out some half portions of oatmeal.

07:16
May 29, 2001

Trey

"Mornin Meggie, thanks for the oatmeal. Here is a vitamin. Do you know what your gonna do today?"

07:21
May 29, 2001

Meggie

"Mornin Trey. I thought I would help drag the traps to the water. Then after that, I have no idea. I could try fishing or maybe gather some more fruit. WHat are you planning to do?"

07:26
May 29, 2001

Trey

"Well, I'll help you get the traps to the water, find some bait, and set them. Then I was gonna go on a fruit hunting trip. Wanna come with me?"

08:36
May 29, 2001

Pierre

Gets up. eats a little oatmeal. "Hey everyone I am feeling kinda punky I am just going to hang out today, and not do much. If I get to feeling better I will help out. "

11:24
May 29, 2001

Aggie

Good morning all! I think I'll go fishing today."

11:54
May 29, 2001

From Colleen

It's 86 degrees with no rain today! that's the good news, but wind and a heat index of 96 makes for a hot muggy day! The 15 mph wind keeps changing directions so the fire is hard to keep going.

14:00
May 29, 2001

Meggie

"Hi Pierre. How are you feeling? Is there anything I can get you to make you feel better? I am going to go find Trey who I think is out gathering fruit. If I don't find him, I will go see if I can help Aggie."

15:31
May 29, 2001

Lolli

Hi guys! How is it going? Pierre, sorry to hear you aren't feeling well! Anything I can do to help??

I think I am going fishing for a little while...goes to get the net and changes into her bathing suit....heads out towards the water...

17:03
May 29, 2001

Aggie

"Hey Lolli, ver here!" I only caught one fish so far. I got distractd by the shels."

17:37
May 29, 2001

Meggie

"Hi Lolli and Aggie. Oh you got some nice shells. Can I help fish too?"

19:30
May 29, 2001

Aggie

"Sure Meggie, we'd love you to join us!"

21:07
May 29, 2001

Lolli

Hi Meggie! We would love to have you fish with us!

we gotta eat yet!

23:46
May 29, 2001

Trey

"Well gang, I think I'm off to bed, I haven't been feeling to hot this evening(in other words, Mom was having 'puter problems tonight). Good Night, Sweet Dreams".

00:19
May 30, 2001

Mastermind Angie After everyone has settled down for the night, and is sleeping soundly, they are awakened by a rustling sound, and growls. There are about six or seven shadows moving through camp, tearing at dirty clothes and nosing over the oatmeal cannisters. As you wake up, you realize it is a pack of dogs, ranging in size from poodle sized to lab sized...they are all scarred and very thin looking dogs. When they see you move, they growl and act aggressive. One appears to be the leader of them, and he is poised to attack, hackles raised, a growl echoing in his throat. If you run, it is apparent the dogs will treat you as prey.

01:03
May 30, 2001

You hear the dogs knocking over and bashing around one of the oatmeal canisters and you groan when you see them dislodge the lid, spilling several days rations on the ground. They sniff at it and then nose around the pot and a few loose camp items before finally moving off into the night. Whe you go to inspect things some clothes have gotten torn, you lost almost 4 days worth of oatmeal, and they managed to break a spice jar as well.

03:37
May 30, 2001

Meggie

Meggie gets up and finds the camp in almost total disarray. The oatmeal barrel is overturned and she thinks about how they have lost some rations. She is glad the dogs didn't attack any of the kids. Meggie looks for a piece of fruit since she wants to conserve breakfast.

07:10
May 30, 2001

Trey, wakes up rolls over rubbing his eyes.

"What the hey?!?!? What happened? I had a nightmare that some wild creatures were attacking us. I guess it wasn't a nightmare. Are you ok Meggie? Did you see anything? Lets pick everything up and put it all in the wooden crate, for safe keeping. We have gotten to comfortable being here. I'm going fishing for breakfast. We have lots of fish and not much fruit."

07:56
May 30, 2001

Meggie

After they all straighten up the campsite and move what is left to the crate and the leftover barrels, Meggie heads off to the beach to see if Trey is still there fishing. If not she will try to find the others at the beach or in the woods.

15:37
May 30, 2001

From Colleen, I am back and ready in case anyone has any questions! I just sent out the reward challenge email, and the actual clues and where you guys can post answers and discuss it are at the following website

http://members.aol.com/llnicarino/beach.htm

Good luck! I will tally scores at midnight central

16:19
May 30, 2001

Meggie

Hi everyone on the tribe. I have posted several possibilities already. Come help when you can. Mommy has to go away but she will be back and I can help out more later this evening.

16:56
May 30, 2001

Pierre slept late, but finally gets out of bed and goes to check his traps. He comes back with almost a dozen crawfish that he sets to boiling to cook up for dinner.

18:24
May 30, 2001

Lolli

hey guys!! where are you all at?? we have a couple more to figure out over on challenge beach!! come and play with us!!!

20:49
May 30, 2001

Lolli

I think I am going to take a break for a little while! My brain is starting to feel fuzzy!!!

20:56
May 30, 2001

Trey

Wow, that was a hard challange, but we are a great team and hopefully we got them all. Is any one going to be up at midnight in case there is a tie? I am going to bed right now and would prefer to sleep all night but if noone is gonna be around maybe I can set my alarm to get up. But I'm not really a good person for this because I'm not a fast thinker like yall are, and I type r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w. Please let me know.

22:55
May 30, 2001

From Collen: I saw some incredible teamwork today! BOTH tribes did wonderfully, 30 minutes after posting I started working on a tie-breaker thinking I underestimated your abilities! Everyone should be quite proud of your intuitive skills. One team got a perfect score, and the other team missed only 1 clue... Nicarong wins with 50 points, and Ocono had 49 points, missing only #44: 7 Cardinal Virtues and 7 Deadly Sins.

My hats off to both tribes! Keep those thinking caps handy tomorrow! you will need them....

Nicarong gets to enjoy a wonderful cookout with hot dogs, hamburgers and fried chicken, corn on the cob, potato chips, watermelon, cake, and even a jello mold! All the sodapop you can drink too! See you tomorrow!

01:20
May 31, 2001

From Colleen, the days starts withlight showers. It's cloudy and breezy with winds from the East/northeast. It's only 83 degrees today, with a reasonable humidity and low heat index, so it should be a lovely day! The Immunity challenge has been emailed, or check out your private beach challenge page for more details on the Great butterfly Hunt!

05:44
May 31, 2001

Meggie

"Hooray hooray we are such a great team! We all worked so well together. I am so happy we won. We have to show the same great work today on the immunity challenge." Meggie looks around to see everyone is sleeping. "Sorry" she whispers....."Just got carried away hee hee" Meggie goes to get a vitamin and just a little bit of oatmeal since she does not want to use too much.

07:08
May 31, 2001

Trey

"Yea!!!! It's about time we won again, I was beginning to wonder. After breakfast I am going over to challange beach to check it out. Ms Colleen said it was going to take more time than yesterday, and we worked hours on it. But we have a lot more at stake today. I don't think anyone is ready to go home this time. ANd thats the way we want to keep it our team together. "

"Did you get your rest Meggie? Hope so. At least I didn't have to get up at midnight for a tiebreaker. Congratulations to the whole team. I got about 3/4 of the answers but would never have figured out the other 1/4 without everyones teamwork. Thanks"

07:29
May 31, 2001

Meggie

"I have taken a look at the challenge and Trey is right...it will take a lot of time. There are 10 big pages of butterflies with 10 choices each to do. How bout if we divide it up so we don't all have to do all of them. Hows this...I(Meggie) will do 1,2,3,4...Trey do 2,3,4,5...Aggie do 3,4,5,6...Lolli do 4,5,6,7 Inita do 5,6,7,8 and Pierre do 6,7,8,9 and everyone can do the others to check all work if we have time. What do you think of this plan???"

07:38
May 31, 2001

Trey

"Meggie, Inita is already there and she has 6 answered out of group A, so she should get that group. I like the split idea. We have more time to spend on a few. Yesterday, there were so many, I don't think I could ever have gotten them all by myself. Can I have the last 4 sets? I have already been looking at them. I'll be back latter this evening, I am not deserting you. Good Luck everyone!"

08:04
May 31, 2001

Inita

I just wanted to say that I am sorry for leaving camp so early this morning and going to Challenge Beach by myself. I am sorry that I did not wait for the group to decide how to split up doing the challenge before I plowed ahead and did it all. I thought everyone would discuss how to do it over at Challenge Beach and I waited over there and no one showed up. So I figured no one was up yet. I didn't think to check back at camp between tries....

Anyway, I am sorry for hogging up the game today. Please don't think I did it to be mean. I am just so nervous about the Immunity thing - I don't want us to have to vote another member off.

16:48
May 31, 2001

Inita

OH NO!!!! Now Colleen posted that both tribes got all of the Butterflies identified correctly and we have to have a tie breaker. Please be at Challenge Beach at least 15 minutes ahead of time so we can discuss strategy and work as a team. :-)

17:34
May 31, 2001

Aggie goes to Inita and gives hr a hug.

"Inita, I don't think anyone is mad you, just raeful. I thank you for doing it! Although you did it on yor own, you got aa perfect score. Let's work together on the tie-breaker, can everyone be a challenge beach at least 15 minutes early? I don't wanna vote anyone off the island!"

18:21
May 31, 2001

Meggie

Aggie is right, Inita....no one is mad at you. We should work as a team for the tie breaker tho. See you all there when it is time.

19:34
May 31, 2001

From colleen

less than a half hour til the tie-breaker, i am posting here so everyone hopefully gets notified.. Good luck!

19:40
May 31, 2001

From Colleen

it took a pretty tough tie-breaker to make finish week's challenge. Out of the 15 answers submitted by Nicarong 2 were incorrect for a score of 13 points. Of the 9 answers submitted by Ocono, 4 were incorrect for 5 points. Nicarong wins immunity, I'll see Ocono tomorrow in tribal council.

20:32
May 31, 2001

Inita

Thanks for the hugs and encouragement. I really didn't mean to take over. Something just got into me and I couldn't stop.

Look at the scores, though! We RULE! We turned in 15 answers and Ocono only turned in 9. WE did it together and that is what counts. Everyone have a good night sleep.

21:18
May 31, 2001

Meggie

Good night everyone. I think what was really important was that we all pitched in and worked together for our common goal. Isn't that what it's all about??? I love you guys...sweet dreams...

21:25
May 31, 2001

Lolli

(with a very sad look on her face) we ALL didn't do it...I wasn't there...I let you all down...I'm sorry...things just seem to all happen at once and life seems to get in the way and things that are fun just sort of go by the wayside...I'm very sorry that I wasn't there to help!

goes to the shelter and shakes out her sleeping bag and crawls in and hugs Teddy tight...goodnight guys...I love you all...and I am so sorry...

22:19
May 31, 2001

Inita

Goes and hugs Lolli goodnight.

It's OK, Lolli. We managed to win the challenge even though you and Pierre couldn't make it. We understand that sometimes you can't be there. I'm sure we can find a way to let you make it up to us. ;-) Make us breakfast?

22:28
May 31, 2001

Pierre

Hi. I am sorry I haven't been around for the last few days, but I haven't felt well. You all did great on both challenges! I promise to be back in form soon. Good night.

00:02
Jun 1, 2001

Trey

We missed you, I knew something must be wrong. You are usually right there in the middle of everything. I hope you feel better soon. Can I make you some of the ginger tea you nurse us with?'

00:13
Jun 1, 2001

Meggie

Meggie gets up happily and looks around for Trey. She gets a little oatmeal out for her and for Trey and starts to tend the fire.

07:19
Jun 1, 2001

Trey

"Mornin Ms. Meggie, what a great day. Did I miss the cookout yesterday? I knew all the answers to the butterflies in the last set, and was excited about doing the rest. But when I got back you and Inita had it finished. She was on a roll wasn't she. I just felt I let down the group by not being there in time. I must say I'm glad it was over with early this time. Those tie-breakers are killing me. :)"

"I am going to refill the water jugs, be back later." He picks up all the water bottles and walk into the jungle toward the stream.

Trey pulls down his backpack, and puts it on.

"I'm going for fruit and veggies, see ya later, gator" :) Oops, he runs back to camp and puts the knife and gloves in his backpack to cut taro.

Gia brings over all the cookout/barbecue goodies since she didn't see you guys enjoying it the other day. There are all the possible treats and nummies you'd get back home, pootato salad, fresh watermelon, chips and dips, fried chicken, hamburger hotdogs and cookies, sodapop and corn on the cob, even jello! enjoy!

As you go to prep food you realize that between the boonie dogs and not losing as many players as the other tribe there is just enough oatmeal left for tight rations of about 3 days worth. You know that next week is the last week you need to play as a tribe, and that your food only has to last until 1 week from now, but your food supply is about as tight as it gets. fruit is back on a lot of the trees though, and the fish as always is plentiful, but your staples are running VERY low. You still have about 1/3 of the spices left, and I believe you have only used rice once so you may have some of that too.

When you start moving around camp you notice that making it's way slowly across your stretch of beahc is a huge beautiful tortoise. You remember that the guidebook said sometimes they snap, but this one seems to just be slowly passing through.

There were light showers VERY early in the morning but they seem to be over now. It's a lovely day, mildly breezy, with pretty clouds in the sky, and a cool 84 degrees but it feels more like 75.

Pierre

Gets the crawfish traps and gets some of those oysters and takes the traps to the water and ties them off baited with the oysters then runs back to camp to eat.

Thank you!!!!!! Gia I really appreciate this!

Meggie

"wow look at all those goodies......I am famished. I have really been cutting down on oatmeal servings...I guess we need to cut down even more. YUMMMM...I love hamburgers and hot dogs. Wasn't that tortoise neat???"

From Colleen, slight correction per the Kosrae expert :0 it was a sea turtle not a tortoise (never knew the difference much myself) so if any kids approach it, they notice it has flippers...

16:00
Jun 1, 2001

Meggie

"I was wondering Ms Colleen because I thought that tortoises were land creatures who lived in the Galapagos and places like that not in Kosrae. Sea turtles can be very big and they do swim in the water."

Aggie

Aggie runs over to the food and flls herr plate up. Aggie eyes the turtle from a distance, thinking he may have eaten the soap.

"We don't have much oatmeal left, but I am getting sick f it anyway. I'll go out and get more bananas after I eat."

Meggie

"Mmmm Aggie isn't this great? I am going to have some fried chicken now and watermelon and chips and......."

Pierre

Takes the large traps out to the beacha nd ties them off after putting bait in them of Oysters. He then ties them off.

I will check on the traps in the morning and that should give us enough to eat. Good night.

23:50
Jun 1, 2001

Trey wakes up and rolls over. Looks like he is the first one awake.

Everyone is still sleeping off all the food they ate yesterday. "Wow it was good, thanks Gia, I ate one of everthing and more of some of them. I think my favorite of the treats is the chicken. It's funny because I never liked it that much at home. But between the chinese food, the luau, and the cookout thats what I liked the bestest. Thanks Gia."

He get up puts some wook on the fire and goes out to check Pierres traps.

Pierre

Gets up and looks around seeing that Trey is gone. Decides to go check the crawfish traps, and to look for some fruit to eat.

11:04
Jun 2, 2001

Trey

"Hey Pierre, feeling all batter now? I've checked the traps. Looks like we have pletty for dinner tonight. If a fey more get cought we can have a light lunsh too. I'm not hungry after everything I ate yesterday. Yeah we need to go on a fruit hunt for tomorrow. I think we should cook the oatmeal cookies for Sunday, since fruit is not as easy to find. I would rather eat fruit and cookies on Sundays and fish and Taro during the week for breakfast. What do you think?."

12:17
Jun 2, 2001

Pierre

Yea lwts find some fruit I would like to try breadfruit! I saw soom and will go get it.

12:31

12:34
Jun 2, 2001

Trey

"Yeah Pierre, I fixed the bread fruit the other day and cut them up like french fries. We had them at the luau. They were good. Lets go look."

12:51
Jun 2, 2001

Pierre

Ok Trey! Lets get em. I think if We get a variety of fruits for tomorrow. We also need to start having fruit at the camp daily for breakfast.

13:01

Aggie

Good morning, Trey and Cher!"

13:45
Jun 2, 2001

Pierre

Morning Petite Cher! I am glad to see you! Look I have some bananas and Papya, and Mangos. For tomorrow.

If trey will help me we can go set the crawfish traps and have a crawfish boil! Trey when you checked the traps how were the Lobster and crab traps? Did they have anything in them. I don't think we have enough crawfish to feed everyone but with the lobsters and crabs we should eat like kings and queens tonight.

14:16
Jun 2, 2001

Aggie

"Cher, how are you feeling? I've missed you the past few days! Ca help with anything? i can start making the cookies."

14:31
Jun 2, 2001

Trey

Hey Aggie, how you doin today? Making the cookies would be great. We just need to store them in the barrel in my backpack or in the crate. Lets get some rocks and pile them up a little so we can set the crate up off the ground. Between the dogs and the crabs, it makes me nervous having this on the ground. Pierre, we had 3 lobsters and about 6 crabs when I looked this morning, don't forget we have rice to stretch the dinner out tonight. Those traps work great Pierre. I'm glad I am on your team. I have learned so much from you and everyone else here. I love it here, but I still get mighty homesick. "

14:46
Jun 2, 2001

Pierre

Actually today I am feeling good. i haven't felt good for a while. Good Trey lets get those after while and we can bait them again after we get the food out and then on Monday we will be set early with food. I know it is getting tight on food. You know if we cook the lobster up and cut it up and put it in with some rice it will be real good!

Gia when we get done to one tribe could we please have more rice? I know most people don't eat alot of rice but I do like my rice and it goes so well with lobster and crabs and mostly with CRAWFISH! Yum

15:04
Jun 2, 2001

Aggie

"Trey, I am doing pretty god, getting nervousabout us no longer being together. Do you know who was voted off last night?"

Aggie starts cutting uup some fruit for the cookies.

15:13
Jun 2, 2001

Pierre

15:19

Aggies mouth drops open.

"Roxie?1?! She was really nice! I likd he."

15:23
Jun 2, 2001

Trey

"Well, I guess that is a good thing for us cuase she is a good competitor. She toasted me and Pierre a couple of times in challenges. But I must say I am kind of sad cause she was awfully pertty. Pierre I like rice too. I just thought we were trying to conserve it since we didn't have very much. But now that were getting low on oatmeal, we do need to eat it. We could even make some kind of rice pattys to eat tomorrow, maybe add some sugar and cinnamon."

15:36
Jun 2, 2001

Pierre

Trey you were right she was cute but not near as pretty as the girls on our team they all would win beuty contest, because they are all so pretty.

Trey I eat rice every day at least once sometimes three times a day. I love rice.

16:29
Jun 2, 2001

Meggie

"Hi everyone. Wow I was a lazybones today. I just way laying around sleeping late and lying in the sun. I think the idea of continuing to have fruit for breakfasts is a good one. Trey and I have been doing that and also having small little portions of oatmeal occasionally. I also like the rice idea. Lobster and rice sounds wonderful for tonite! I can help cook too! How about making some of that breadfruit stuff for eating tomorrow also. I was wondering who got voted off Ocono. Roxie was very nice...that is too bad. Oh and Pierre, thanks for the compliment about us Nicarong girls. Our team rules!!!"

17:02
Jun 2, 2001

Trey

"OOPS, sorry ladies, I didn't mean to imply that yall weren't pretty. I really didn't. Thanks Pierre for bringing my big mistake up to the team. LOL I'll remember that bud.:)'

17:24

19:48
Jun 2, 2001

Trey

"OK, Pierre, your gettin brownie points big time. I know our girls are the prettiest, but we are family, and if I have a crush on someone in my family, I think that is something really bad. I think my mom called it insect, insest or incest, somethin like that. Mom said that is really bad. And I am NOT BAD. te-he"

19:50

Pierre
