Hey girlfriend, you are already an honorary active member!!!
Happy birthday to your dh, you were a very good wife as is consistent with being a member of the Fools' Sisterhood Alliance! In all honesty, congrats on making you dh such a special homemade meal!!!
Sorry to hear you had such a bad reaction to the flu shot.
My sister is a nurse practioner and I'll ask her about why this happens. Reason I worry for you is that one year I had the flu for two weeks flat on my back when my dd was a baby. Dh nursed me back to health and I swore I'd never go without the flu shot again. Wouldn't want that to happen to you.I think we need to re-think our time on the ship. Perhaps Heathy Corp. would like to hold a ship cleaning contest where we see who of the male gender can manipulate the scaffolding the quickest on the outside of the ship while we are deep at sea...I'm sure "we" can find something to "cut", uh I mean "hold" those ropes with...
Fools' Sisterhood Alliance = +100
Fools' Adolescent Boys = -1
(Fools' sisters - I probably won't see you all much manana, so have a great Sunday and keep us strong, LOL!)

NOT TRUE - AS IN FALSE.
THIS IS A FORGERY - DISREGARD ALL INACCURATE INFO.
Thank You!! I am so flattered you are watching my average!! I think Mark is trying to beat my record by posting all those tidbits but as long as you MEN keep fighting me, he got no chance!! I am always ready for action!!
Arlene, Welcome to sisterhood!! Glad that your arm is feeling better!! I have decieded not to get a flu shot, never had the flu in a few years.
Quote by Heather: for everyone to know, it is hard being jazz's daughter... but pff, i am so much cooler than he is
you see, the M is the same size! its just... the color of the background
You go, girl!! you are learning very quickly!! We will be happy to have you join the sisterhood!!
Mark, Mark, Mark!!!
What's wrong with you!! I call it a night last night...then wake up this morning to all this sentimental, wishy-washy female crap posted by you! I can only hope Sandy got a hold of your computer and snuck those in while you weren't watching!! My God, Man, get control of yourself. A little, insignificant threat by a bunch of blathering women gets you all scared and you try to pacify them with sweet nothings!! We got to stick together and put down this rebellion now!!
Jazz...You and the G-Man got to reconsider taking Mark into JGE. I don't think he has the intestinal fortitude to make the hard business decisions needed to make JGE profitable. First wench that complains about something..and he will be giving full refunds!! As Chairman of the Board (BTW I think our mediating the use of "Ship of Fools" without litigation came out quite well...thank you!), I have to veto any attempt to include him in JGE.
Bob
PS. Jazz...need to get control of that little DD of yours! She could be trouble!

Drinks will be on Barbara during the poker games, her money is extra anyway.
That was probably from the "What are the members of the fools sisterhood really good for" column. I'm guessing it was a 100 dollar question...Mark

A Woman's Prayer
Dear Lord,
So far today, I am doing all right. I have not gossiped, lost my temper,
been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or self indulgent. I have not whined,
complained, cursed, or eaten any chocolate. I have not charged on my credit
card. And I thank you. However, I am going to get out of bed in a few
minutes, and I will need a lot more help after that.
Amen.

25 RULES FOR WOMEN
1. SportsCenter starts at 11:00 PM and runs an hour. This is a great time to pay bills, put laundry in the dryer or talk to your sister.
2. Two hot dogs and a beer at a baseball game do, in fact, constitute going out to dinner.
3. Unlike you, we essentially want to dress just exactly like all our friends. Thus, you need not go much further than the Gap, J. Crew or the local Patagonia store.
4. If we see you in the morning and at night, why call us at work?
5. Butthead is the smart one.
6. Is it too much to ask to have the bra match the underwear?
7. You probably don't want to know what we're thinking about.
8. Silence does not need to be filled with discussions about "us" and "the relationship".
9. Things you can help with: the Sunday crossword, yard work, the dishes, cleaning, and grocery shopping.
10. Things you should let us do alone: figuring out where we are, watching anything on TBS, playing cards, smoking cigars and picking out the beer.
11. Socks never constitute a gift.
12. Department stores and malls were designed so that when you want to look at bed linen, shower curtains or handbags, there are always some speakers, tires or sporting equipment nearby.
13. We don't know anything about handbags. Don't even ask.
14. We did water the plants. They died anyway. Nobody knows why this happens.
15. Even if you think he's cute, Kevin Costner can't act.
16. Of course, neither can Elle McPherson, but she had the good sense to do "Sirens" rather than "Waterworld."
17. Curley is the bald one.
18. Compromise does not mean that we abandon our position in favor of yours.
19. Sports Illustrated is a better magazine than Cosmopolitan. Just accept that.
20. It's in neither your interest nor ours to take the Quiz together.
21. Unless you are willing to follow the careers of Mo Vaughn, Cal Ripken, David Robinson, Michael Jordan, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chris Farley, don't expect us to know what Helen Gurley Brown, Hilary Clinton, Naomi Wolf or your mother are up to.
22. Sex on a weeknight is generally welcome. Three hours of post-coital conversation is not.
23. Dinner out is a pretty good birthday present. Two tickets to a ball game are even better.
24. No, you can't have the remote control.
25. If you must take us with you into Victoria's Secret, never, ever leave us alone. All the old fat ladies make mean faces at us and only add to our discomfort.

OK guys I have a serious question here. What would you do?
We have a Honda mini van. Very nice, 2003 model with the leather seats built in DVD, power doors stuff. It is my DW's vehicle and I get a work vehicle that she can't drive so the van is nearly always driven by her except for long family trips and then I drive.
I have found the ultimate replacement van for ours. The 2005 Odyssey Touring van. The Navi system on this sucker ROCKS!!! It is unbelievable. It has 2 memory drivers seat so when I get in my knees aren't up by my chin, sunroof, 6 pack CD, power side windows in the power sliding doors, power tailgate, VCM engine. The Navi system is great because you never have to ask for directions (like I ever did anyway, but that is another story) and if you ignore the directions and try your own way it immediately will give you a new route and doesn't nag!!!Woo hoo..
I have been over to the dealers a few times this week, and really am tempted but the difference between my trade in which is perfect condition is pretty big and in my heart I know it isn't practical but God I'd love to get this van. Its for the wife you know as I have mine. She deserves to be told where to go by the van. (you can have a male or female voice). I don't have the nerve but I'd have to have the male voice telling her where to go
Thank God she doesn't read these pages.
I figure I'll not do it but who knows I may have a weak moment next week and buy it (for my wife of course).
Anyways knowing what a great bunch of GUYS you are I'd appreciate some input.
Cheers,
Grumbo

Have you at least discussed this prospect with her? Remember, she is the one that will be driving the vehicle, NOT YOU!
Women have a different perspective and preference when it comes to their vehicles!
At least let her Test Drive it before you buy it!LOL

What?? You don't want any American-made minivan?? i have a 2005 Town and Country "Touring" minivan and i perfectly happy with it!!
OK, So what is the real deal here...
Is this something you want as a toy to brag or are you really concerned for your wife not to get lost???? So are you boastful or compassionate...That the question!!
I agree with Janet...your wife, Doris, (right?) is the one driving. let her check it out too!!
No NAVI will tell me where to go!! I am too smart!!

She has test driven it. She really likes it and she told me to go and buy it. (Her FIRSST mistake!) (OK maybe second if you count marrying me ) Well when I started getting into serious discussions with the dealer I think she realized I may actually go and do this. I am the cheap so and so in the family and I hate debt and wouldn't do something goofy like this so she figured she was safe being so magnanimous. Guess I fooled her
As for the Navi system yeah it is something that is a "nice to have" as opposed to needing but there are so many other features. Darn thing costs more than my first house though and that scares the you know what out of me. To boast? Nah I won't even get to drive it most of the time but we do like driving down to the states alot and I can think of lots of previous occasions where it would have been a God send. There are portable Navis though that are GPS driven that sit on the dash that are supposedly good too. Then again I have this Tim the Tool Man thing when it comes to technological stuff
Btw Melinda the Town and Country is a beautiful van. I research purchases to the nth degree though and imho the Sienna and/or Odyssey are hands down better vehicles. To each their own though As for buying American. The Honda Odysseys are built in Alabama. I guess you're one of those "Yankees" that still won't realize the Civil war IS over are you? Also as a post script the Town and Countrys are built in Ontario, Canada according to Edmunds

Well i am a die hard "Yankee" fan!!
Well it up to you and Doris to buy the new van or not...Your money, your debt!! Just remember, Be thankful what you DO have, don't be greedy and think not what you DON"T have....Life is full of choices...Just Be Wise, my friend!!

Oh I've decided 99% I won't get the darn thing. I still have that 1% that is grinding at me
I was like this with DVC. Doris knows that she just gives me enough rope to hang myself and I realize that it we can use the money elsewhere.
However I like to dream. Hey I haven't checked my 649 tickets from last night. You never know
Cheers,
Grumbo
