WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt3

[iankh]

Do we know details yet? Maybe I should PM Nan since I got in trouble last time.

I have no idea what's happening. Nan and Kelly are keeping it a secret from me.

All I know about is the ceremony, which is on September 4th.

I'm now trying to figure out what we are going to do for witnesses. Bribe people on the street?

We did have some good champagne didn't we! All Girls! So much fun!

Let's do it again now. We'll pretend to be together!

Shannon, It's funny, in my youth I loved the wild upside down coasters, etc. But after having kids, I grew very protective and suddenly saw the dangers in life I hadn't been on a coaster in years until I went to WDW for the first time in 2000. Since it was DISNEY, I had to try everything! I was terrified of Space Mountain and TOT but loved everything else. I get braver every year! Both my kids love scary rides, but they have not had much experience with other "outdoor challenges", and my daughter takes after me a lot, although she doesn't like to admit it So when I chose to try new experiences during our cruise, my family was very surprised. So...don't rule out things because you're a little timid now, you never know, you might change when you're old like me

I hope I can grow old like you! You are busy travelling, you have a beautiful granddaughter that you are able to welcome into your home! Sounds great!

 

[gaylean93]

You sound just like Ken. I was quite naive as a teenager, but he was much more mature - it'll be his job to anticipate anything our girls will get into!

That sounds the same as us except Jon was the naive one and I was the more mature one!

 

[EllaEnchanted]

What are you watching? I'm already on glass #2 - Ken's a gentleman, and has switched to his beer, so I can have a 3rd glass later one. Its Friday I can kick back and relax!

Hi Shannon......kick back and enjoy it......you deserve it!

Ian,

As a father of an eight year old daughter, it is something that really bothers me too . . . I guess kids have always wanted to grow up sooner, and we adults always want to go back to childhood.

What makes me crazy with Sophia is that her aunt buys her this stuff . . . makeup, lip gloss, eye shadow, etc. I told her last time she did this that Sophia looked like a streetwalker!

I am no prude either - I just wish we could let kids be kids longer - but media has put the pressure on kids and families to "keep up".

It is fine for little girls to play dress-up, and pretend, but when it becomes an every day thing in dress and appearance I think it is wrong. What is the right age? I don't know . . .

I just know that it is tons harder to be the father of a little girl than it was to be the father of a boy.

At least now I know that I'm not completely off base.

 

[iankh]

I have never owned a gun in my life . . . but in the next few years I may consider a purchase of a rifle . . . so that when Sophia brings some boy home I can be casually cleaning it.

The problem we dads have is that we were once boys, and we know how boy's minds work, and how they think.

Not all

(sorry I couldn't resist)

50 is young and all the good men will be getting rid of their starter wives by then!

I hate that term, don't you? I'm a starter wife and so are you Good thing we are ender wives too, ok that sounded funny, but you know what I meant

I'm so sad I wasn't able to come. Damned beeper from the kids' club. I have my tiara though! I keep it in my bedroom and am determined to wear it at some girls' night out event!

You're not wearing it right now?

 

[HollyTyler]

I was wondering what happened with him.......thanks for filling us in.......it sounds like you did the right thing. You can't be in love with everyone you date.......especially so soon after a divorce.

I saw you brought up Alexandro's name again. I remember him. Snake!

What ever happened to the guy that lives far that just got his daughter living with him? Do you keep in touch with him?[/quote]
Ahhh... that was Blake. He's the one about 12 years older than me. We never managed to connect. Each time one of us tried, the other was busy. We eventually quit trying and lost contact. If it was meant to be, it would have happened, I figure. I just say....."NEXT!"

 

[nskjerven]

Wow, you have a good memory! Yup, we dated from when I was about 16 - 24. He came up to visit me a while back, but I sort of backed off a bit because he was WAY too needy. And during that time when I backed off for about a week, he found a girlfriend and has been with her for about a month. He's very newly divorced, and still has bitter feelings, so I think he just wants somebody to help him get over that. I just didn't want to be that rebound person. But I got back in touch with him after a couple weeks because we've known each other for over 20 years, and had such great chemistry back then, I see no reason why we can't stay friends. It wasn't fun hearing about his girlfriend, how he told her just a couple weeks ago that he's falling in love with her, and was looking at engagement rings. But I really think they're moving way too fast, too soon after an ugly divorce, and somehow have a feeling they won't last permanently.

Anyway, I just want to stay friends with him, keeping in touch whenever we can, because we have such a great history.

Smart for you being careful and not getting over invovled. Sounds like you know what he is going thru and maybe when he settles down you can hook back up.

 

[gaylean93]

That sounds like a nice Mommy/Daughter time It is fun to do some of that stuff with daughters. I do love the excitement when I let them wear the colour change nailpolish I bought in Aruba!

we got ours in cabo but they have a Del Sol here and I heard you can get it on line as well.

 

[HollyTyler]

I'm feeling out of touch - the only name I recognize is David Duchovny

Same here!

Hi John........they are just so different.......little boys and girls.......like night and day.......It's like you have to throw out all the rules and everything you already learned and just start over!

Great picture!

 

[gaylean93]

just kidding I haven't decided, or more likely will do a montage to PC cruise and use them all

I was thinking of the same thing. Maybe four pics with a little caption under, printed on regular paper instead of photo paper. What do you think?

 

[HollyTyler]

John, that's a great pic

Kathe

I love it too because they have that cute squinty eyed smile that only little kids can do! Melts my heart!
