WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 17

[gydell]

Thanks for this Marilyn, it was very helpful. I found out that I'll be on the third night of my cruise up at midnight booking Palo on the Dream. I should get a discount for having to pay for internet to book it. hahaha.

Speaking of booking onboard while onboard.....how about your ressies in September? Did you want me to book for you? I can easily do it and I'm always up at midnight. Just let me know....the offer still stands. I would be happy to do it.

When we were on the Baltic cruise there were people having the desk book there ressies. There was even a man at Palo's having them book Palo's for them.

What time of day were they doing that Gydell?

I know the man at Palo's was the evening before he could make ressies. Ask at the desk about the other ressies.

Need a chuckle? (Apologies if an odd word is too much for you though.)


ZEN TEACHINGS


1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow... In fact, just take off and leave me alone.

2. Sex is like air. It's not that important unless you aren't getting any.

3. No one is listening until you fart.

4. Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.

5. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

6. If you think nobody cares whether you're alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.

7. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

8. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

9. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

10. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably well worth it.

11. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

12. Some days you are the dog, some days you are the tree.

13. Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time.

14. Good judgment comes from bad experience ... and most of that comes from bad judgment.

15. A closed mouth gathers no foot.

16. There are two excellent theories for arguing with women. Neither one works.

17. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.

18. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

19. We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get slapped on our *** - then things just keep getting worse.

20. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Marilyn, those are hilarious! Thanks for the laughs!

Sleeping pill......laxative......same night......

Thanks for the early morning laugh, Marilyn!

Here's one of my horse betting stories. Went to the track with some girlfriends (one of whom had just found out she was pregnant). We got their just a few minutes before the first race, so several of them ran to the windows to make a bet. I went to take a look at the horses (I like to see them first) and when the girls joined me I asked if anyone had bet on #6. The preggers friend said she had and I said "Good, because he is going to win" They laughed at me, and asked why and I said because he had a good attitude! Anyway, he won and when I asked my girlfriend why she had bet on him she said just because of his name.....Dirty Diaper! That was our scientific theory for picking the winner.

OK...here's another one.

Went to the track with friends when money was very tight. Had enough for my admission, chipping in a dollar for parking, money for ONE beer and enough for ONE bet. I was there to just be with my friends and have a nice afternnon for not much money. As I was looking over the names of horses for all the races I spotted my winner....CHICKEN LEG. As the fried chicken lover that I am, I knew he was the one! He was a long shot and I made a bet on him to win. He did and my winnings covered my expenses with enough left over for a hot dog!

Jackie, I would go with the names too!!!

What funny names people come up with for these horses! And what good luck for you!

I was going to head out and do laundry, but discovered we both have enough clean clothes to get through to next weekend, so I'll wait. I like doing it better when Tyler's with me because we play cards and read together and treat ourselves with subs from Subway next to the laundromat. He says he hates going to the laundromat, but he doesn't seem to mind when once we're there. And he gets to transfer the clothes from the washer to dryer, which includes pushing the cart from one to the other, so that's something he looks forward to. Makes him feel important, I suppose.

So.....instead, I went through all his clothes and sort out ones that are too small, then sorted out the ones too worn out to donate, and the rest can be donated this week. Most are in excellent condition, so that should make some little boy very happy.

Found some more stuff of mine to get rid of. Did dishes again. Now I'm off to tackle the rest of one disgusting area I'm cleaning that needs to be disinfected.

Looking for a creative/practical way to organize all the little things lying around in the living room, things I can't throw away because they're things Tyler uses, but I can't handle them lying around all over the tables and surfaces any longer. Maybe some stackable plastic bins of some sort.

I can't wait to show before/after pics when I'm done. Tyler's room was a drastic change, the rest of the house will be shocking too when I'm done. It feels SO good to finally be regaining control over the mess!

 

[granmaz]

Well you are productive Holly!!!

 

[HollyTyler]

I'm sorry I go on and on about this cleaning business, but once you see the "before" pics, you'll understand why I was so overwhelmed for a while and why it's such a big deal for me to finally be taking care of it.

I honestly can't understand how I let things get so out of control. Yuck.

 

[HollyTyler]

Well you are productive Holly!!!

I'm trying! And in between all of that, I've also been making trips to our recycling center to get rid of things, and have been taking pictures of things I find that I think would sell (and have been successfully getting rid of things that way, in addition to donating some). It's a great feeling!

Well, you weren't able to function properly Holly, and even if you noticed things, you just wouldn't want to do anything about it. Don't feel bad, it wasn't your fault!!!!

You must be getting fitter too!!!

That sounds about right, Marilyn. Shame I didn't see it at the time. Oh well......better late than never!

No, not getting fitter, actually gained a few more pounds, but I'll work on that later.

OK......off to finish some things around here, then to the grocery store, then to a birthday party.

Well, you can't tell me that you aren't fitter zooming around like this every weekend instead of sleeping it away!!!!
