Today I heard the most AMAZING story. A friend on the board has a houseboat in California. She rented it out to a really nice older lady for 3 months while she was somewhere else. Her neighbors started calling her about 3 weeks later because the police had been thier a lot. She went back to discover the grandma lady had made it a bordello. She even had a web site with my friends houseboat on it and pictures, bad ones. My friend had to buy all new furniture and carpeting. Can you imagine?

Ewww. Gross! I hope she was the madame and not the "girls".

Talk with DrHug. Let's see, you could take up guitar. Martin makes some very nice ones that you could SPEND on, and you'll also need at least a couple of electric ones, and a bass and then of course amps to go with each of those. After that you could take up fishing. Poles, gear, boats. Hunting also. You will need several different rifles and a shotgun or two.

You fish with a shotgun?

You forgot the lake house $$$$$.

Hey,
I have 3 kids, 2 of whom have expensive hobbies (viola, piano, field hockey, lacrosse, golf). DS had to give up his Little Gym habit though.

What is Little Gym????

 

[MrsMork]

You fish with a shotgun?

Only in the South. Here in the Northwest we HUNT with a shotgun (bird I think).

 

[MrsMork]

You forgot the lake house $$$$$.

Yes, but we can't afford the lake house because of the two DVC homes we have in Florida!

 

[MommyMinnie]

Hi All! I have meetings every night until 9, but tommorow night I get WICKED! Yea! John, I kind of thought they might offer water when you first get on, but no, it's just like it was before. I think this will be especially hard for Children who do not run on the same food and drink schedule as the flight attendants. I always carry snacks and water for DD on the long flights... Now I don't really know what to do.

This dissapoints me. It wouldn't kill them to have a couple of cases of water up front and hand it out as people board.

 

[brack]

Oh, we are guitar poor! DrHug has 3 acustics, 2 electrics plus an acoustic/electric bass. I ask him how many guitars can one play at one time?? Then, of course he wants each kid and GK to have one so they can play with him. He even bought me one, which I have yet to learn to play....after I retire maybe I will have a minute to do that! He also buys picks by the gross and there is always one more book he absolutely needs. Yes, Lisa it can be a very expensive habit.

I am the world's worst guitar player but I have owned at least one guitar since I was 12yo. Currently I have an Ovation acoustic (in the shop being repaired) and an electric bass.

Lisa pay attention!

In Oklahoma they grab a fist full of bait and put their arms in the water to catch large catfish when they latch onto your hand. It's called "Noodling". They even have a tournament each year.

I've seen Noodling on Dirty Jobs and, I've seen a large angry catfish in person. AIN'T NO WAY I'm going to try that.

Actually I hate fishing. I could never bring myself to stab a worm or hold a cricket. It look like I will have to fish with a shotgun.

 

[brack]

I made it to work today but every minute that goes by I regret it. Unfortunately I have to stay for awhile longer for a meeting.

I think it was 2 years ago that they had a big uproar here in MO because noodling was illegal and a bunch of people wanted to change that. I personally don't like to fish (traumatic experience as a child when I walked behind my Dad who was casting and the hook went into my head! ) but I still think these people are crazy. They will go down to the river and stick their hand under some rock where they can't see. It sounds like a great way to be bitten by a water moccassin or something.

Go home as soon as you can. Do you go to a chiropractor? DrHug is much better after 3 treatments.

 

[brack]

Got to go it's almost time for the meeting. At least I don't have that much to catch up to on the board tonight.

I don't like snakes!

I dislike snakes more than I dislike scrapbooking supplies and fluff. Please don't put one in the hall on Deck 2 to see what will happen!

I did go when it first happened but it didn't help a lot. When I hurt it again I just went to my family doctor. I go back tomorrow to see why it is so slow to heal up. I am supposed to meet up with DW in NC mountains on Sunday. It's a 9 hour drive that would be awful when my back hurts.

We all are hoping you get feeling better. Missing work is one thing, but missing meeting up with DW for fun is absolutely unacceptable!!
