August 20, 2005 - L.A. to Port Canaveral - Eastbound Repo Cruise - The SHIP OF FOOLS Part 2

[Denise W]

That's a great idea Melinda!! Actually, I was thinking we should make reservations for Jazz, Mark, Grumbo and Izzinmac to have high tea at Palo's (not when we go, of course). Don't you think that would be perfect for them??!!!

Karen, Emma is right in between my daughters in age (mine will be 16 and 22), and I know we PM'd each other about it last May. I think Heather (the younger one) has spoken to Emma on line a couple times. They both have Live Journal accounts. I am more concerned about someone for my older daughter to hang out with. She will be 22, and I don't see many people on "the list" with kids that age. If anyone knows of someone coming who is close to her age, let me know. Emma is welcome to hang out with her too, but Amy will be too old to go to the Stack (I assume they won't let her in).

Ok, Barbara, let's conspire!! This is WAR!!!! Janet, Arlene, Denise W, wanna join?? We sisters should fight now!!

Melinda, ya' know when "boys" pick on you it's because they "like" you, lol! Better get your dh back on this thread and soon!!! Hey, I'm all for the girls siding together...in the end, the boys know who is the smarter gender, HA! Look at Bob of izzinmac - all his Mary needed to do was say "It's time to go shopping" and off he went, lol!" We are the TRUE rulers in our marriages...hee! hee! hee! (AND DON'T YOU
GUYS FORGET IT - and that includes you my handsome dh "ca-disney-dad" who is probably lurking!!!)

Melinda, what will they owe us when we win this CA to FL DCL war?!!! A second honeymoon cruise in the Walt Disney Suite? REAS packages at home once a month?!

PS We should give Mark a special "waiver of exemption" because he at least is nice most times and takes the time to answer our questions, posts funny & sentimental stories, etc.

 

[mark & sandra]

Now, now guys. Melinda's entitled to her opinion here! She's fighting with 3 or 4 guys that are obviously more then up for the task, and she's holding her own. Jazzman, Grumbo and Izzinmac should be ashamed of themselves for being so mean to such a kind and caring person as Melinda. The woman cooks, cleans, raises her kids, maintains her household finances and still finds time for a part-time job. Guys we should all be so lucky!! HAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH, sorry, I couldn't hold it in anymore, even I don't believe me sometimes! Izzinmac, tell Mary you'll be there when you get there!! Grumbo, tell Doris there's a sale at Costco; that'll keep her for a few hours. Jazzman, show Denise what you learned in Asia, see you in a couple minutes, and Bob (DVCmbr4), have Melinda contact Sandy, those two are a natural for each other.

We don't need to "PLAN" any time together girls. We just need to escape from our wifes at the same time.

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

Mark, see my post prior to yours above.

Melinda: I RESCIND THE OFFER OF "waiver of exemption" TO MARK!!! He's just like the rest of them. SISTERS OF DCL - PREPARE FOR THE FIGHT!!!!!!!

Some rules to ensure a happy marriage

1. Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, then comes good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.

2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in Ontario and mine is in Tucson.

3. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.

4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary.
"Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested the kitchen.

5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. Then she said "There are too many gadgets and no place to sit down!" So I bought her an electric chair.

7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there is water in the carberater. I asked where the car was, she told me "In the Lake."

8. She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.

9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling "Am I too late for the garbage?" The driver said "No, jump in!"

10. Remember. Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.

11. Statistically, 100% of all divorces start with marriage.

12. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always.

13. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.

14. The last fight was my fault. My wife asked, "What's on the TV?" I said "Dust!

The Five Secrets to a Great Relationship

1. It is important to find a man who works around the house, occasionally cooks and cleans, and
who has a job.

2. It is important to find a man who makes you laugh.

3. It is important to find a man who is dependable and doesn't lie.

4. It is important to find a man who's good in bed and who loves to have sex with you.

5. It is extremely important that these four men never meet

Brother, oh brother... after 22 years of marriage, I really do need to have my dh give you males the lessons I taught him regarding what makes a marriage successful - the first and foremost are two words from one's dh on a regular basis:

"YES DEAR."

 

[mark & sandra]

"In my house I'm the boss, my wife is just the decision maker."
-Woody Allen.

"My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met."
-Rodney Dangerfield.


"Ah, yes, divorce...from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's
genitals through his wallet."
-Robin Williams.

"A married man should forget his mistakes; no use two people
remembering the same thing."
-Duane Dewel.


"When you see a married couple walking down the street, the one
that's a few steps ahead is the one that's mad."
-Helen Rowland

"I have never really understood this liking for war. It panders to
instincts already well catered for in any respectable domestic establishment."
-Alan Bennett


"Eighty percent of married men cheat in America. The rest cheat
in Europe."
-Jackie Mason

"Marriage is like putting your hand into a bag of snakes in the
hope of pulling out an eel."
-Leonardo Di Vinci.


"I don't think I'll get married again. I'll just find a woman I don't like
and give her a house."
-Lewis Grizzard.

"I'm the only man in the world with a marriage licence made out to
whom it may concern."
-Mickey Rooney.

"I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her."
-Rodney Dangerfield.

"The difference between divorce and legal separation is that legal separation gives a husband time to hide his money."
-Johnny Carson

Ta, ta, ta Mark...now, what would Sandra say to all of the above?! Only then will we know the truth! Time for dinner here, dh has made a delish dinner for me his beloved wife - HA!

 

[mark & sandra]

Bob comes home from an exhausting day at work, plops down on the couch in front of the television, and tells Melinda, "Get me a beer before it starts."

Melinda sighs and gets him a beer.

Fifteen minutes later, he says, "Get me another beer before it starts."

She looks cross, but fetches another beer and slams it down next to him.

He finishes that beer and a few minutes later says, "Quick, get me another beer, it's going to start any minute."

Melinda is furious. She yells at him "Is that all you're going to do tonight? Drink beer and sit in front of that TV? You're nothing but a lazy, drunken, fat slob, and furthermore . . ."

Bob sighs and says, "It's started . . "

Hey Bob, nice quote enhancement!!...Mark

 

[mark & sandra]

Hey guys, I just spoke to Brian, Barbara's much younger DH, and he's offered the use of his room, 2114, for our daily poker game. He says Barbara won't mind entertaining and she'll even talk a couple of her DIS friends into helping her. What a gal.

 

[mark & sandra]

Yesterday, scientists for Health Canada suggested that men
should take a look at their beer consumption, considering
the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence
of female hormones in beer.

The theory is that drinking beer makes men turn into women.

To test the finding 100 men were fed 6 pints of beer each.
It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight,
talked excessively without making sense, became overly
emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally,
argued over nothing, and refused to apologize when wrong.
No further testing is planned.

Hi Mark, Barbara and the gals would be more than happy to spend all of their vacation serving the Ship Of Fools (guys). I can at least authorize Barbara to make her famous 7 layer bean dip and bring us drinks whenever we ask. This will allow her to have the vacation of her dreams HA. Drinks will be on Barbara during the poker games, her money is extra anyway.
