Welcome to the premiew edition of THE THIRTEENER CARNIVAL! In this issue we will highlight thirteen non-T13 posts from thirteen Thursday Thirteeners. The Thirteener Carnival will be published each Monday morning. The requirements for inclusion in the carnival are:
- The post must be a NON-weekly Thursday Thirteen list. Since we read each other’s Thursday Thirteen list each Thursday, we want to read something else for the carnival. This is a way to get to know other sides of our T13 friends.
- The blog must be part of the Thursday Thirteen family.
- The post must be appropriate and something of general interest.
We had many submissions, and we can only include thirteen of them. It was so hard to chose which posts to include. We pretty much randomly chose and many wonderful post were not included. If you submitted a post, and it isn’t included, please submit one for next week’s carnival.
If you have a blog and a few hours to spend putting together a THIRTEENEER CARNIVAL, please send an email to thurs13 (at) gmail (dot) come. Hosting is fun, but it DOES take some time to put it together. The carnival will be crossposted on your blog and here at the Thursday Thirteen hub. So let us know if you’re interested.
Here’s your job as a reader: Do your best to visit all thirteen highlighted 
posts and read them and comment on each one. If you can’t visit all thirteen, then visit as many as you can. Feel free to trackback to this post if you are a Thirteener and link to this post in your post. Now, on with the carnival!
Welcome to the April 2, 2007 edition of The Thirteener Carnival.

Sanni presents Cyber Cruise: Dominican Republic posted at Coffee 2 go. Sannie gives a fantastic tour of the Dominican Republic:
Some of the world´s finest cigars are made here from Cuban-seed tobacco brought by Cuban expatriates after the Revolution. In addition to rum, Mama Juana (called liquid Viagra), hand-rolled cigars, the Dominican Republic cultivates heavenly coffee beans. Larimar, the Dominican version of turquoise mined near the Haitian border, is another bargain.
I started on this cruise and then got sick. After enjoying the Dominican leg of the trip, I think I’ll try to catch back up with them!
Jon Tillman presents My Politics & My Philosophy posted at JONTILLMAN.COM. Jon straightens out his critics who have referred to him as a socialist. It’s not about putting a label on it, but more about what his core beliefs are. He goes on to explain. Check it out.
Friday’s Child presents While Watching TV posted at Friday’s Child saw a program made her nostalgic for a time when our lives were not so well planned and our friends and acquaintances were more diverse.
Some people contend that they are happiest when we stick to “our own kind” in developing friendships. Little do they know that persons who wears blinders of this kind will never experience the enthrallment of having as companions or friends such colorful and often vividly articulate individuals.

All I can say is WOW!
I’m thrilled that my little poem was chosen to be included in the first TT Carnival! I hope lots of you will stop by and say hello, and I look forward to visiting all the other TTC sites.
I loved the poem! I wish I had that kind of talent.
WOO-HOO! Thanks a lot for including my trip to the DR
I´m honored 
I´m looking forward to visit the other TTC-participants!
I’m shocked I’m included in such a great group — and that so many are among my regular reads. Thanks to the Thirteen crew and I wish you all fantastic reading.
Thank you so much for including my Cyber Cruise posting to the 1st T13-Carnival. I was deeply honored when I saw this… and even more after reading all the other great posts!
Thanks a lot!
I had never been to a carnival, so to get to be included in the first one on TT is so cool and to think we almost lost TT. Thanks Carol, Beth, Jane for rescuing it and adding your ideas to it!
Can’t wait to read them all and see where to visit next week.
Thanks for including my blog in your carnival that is wonderful!
