Girl Talk

[nONIE]

Truth be known Bare, Ill bet this is a very common problem. I think going for coffee after and discussing your movies was a fantastic idea. Chicks and guys do not think the same, we all know that, so naturally the same type of movies will not appeal to both. You seemed to resolve the problem very well by getting together after for together time.

In our case we usually go together and one of us just suffers thru it, consequently making one of us pretty miserable for a couple of hours. Lately, I just fall asleep if Im bored with the movie, yikes !!! another sign of old age me thinks. ::)

[beady]

Barefoot: great solution, Captain and I do the same, but on occasion (rarely) we choose to see the same movie. We will have to "double date" when you get back to TV, gals at one flick, guys at another. Coffee and dessert together after the movie. Perfect. :bigthumbsup:

Nonie: I envy you that you can nap in a theatre. Usually the volume is so high I couldn't possibly sleep. It would be such a good solution to my "dates" choice.

[beady]

rockinrhonda:

We should get a bunch together and go. Chels and I want to see it to. Much more fun with sistah's

[renielarson]

Mr. Bright and I have the same problem.

We have come to a compromise where I choose a movie and next time he chooses. It works well for us.

Surprisingly, most of the time we both agree that although we would never have picked the same movie as a couple, most aren't too bad and we end up enjoying them (some more than others).

...or maybe it's just the time we enjoy being together.

Sometimes we both agree that our choices weren't the best...but at least we honor each other's choice, laugh, and wait until the next movie night out.

[Just Susan]

You must wait for me to see Sex in the City in TV or promise to see it again. I think we should have a movie event once a month. Choose two movies and whomever wants can go to whichever movie.

Lucky for me, Tom will watch "chick flicks" sometimes he even gets it. "Die Hard" type movies are as traumatic as I can stand and I will not go to worse than that level of violence.

[Hyacinth Bucket]

Beady count me in. Is it or do you think it will be showing in TV?

HB

[Hyacinth Bucket]

This is one problem we do not have. For many years we did not go to the movies, now that we can, we never think of going.

We do keep a list of movies we want to see on DVD, but never seem to see them. Then the list gets tossed and another list is made.

While we were in TV there were two movies we decided we would definitely see, then got busy doing other things and forgot all about it.

When we have gone to the movies it is always with friends. If you are going please ask us so that we get to the movies again.

Thanks,

HB

[Rokinronda]

OK , but I am so busy this week.... ??? ...when do you guys want to go? Hope I'm available!

[Barefoot]

You must wait for me to see Sex in the City in TV or promise to see it again.

Susan, we will definitely have a get together and watch it on video in the Fall, or whenever you arrive! Promise.

[mcelheny]

Ok Girls...
Count me in. It will be fun! And yes Mike(husband) and I have totally different interests. Guess that makes us normal. :)

[nONIE]

Mcelheny,

I would think one of you was definitely abnormal if you did have the same interests!!LOL LOL

[Just Susan]

Susan, we will definitely have a get together and watch it on video in the Fall, or whenever you arrive! Promise.


One more thing to be looking forward too. I can hardly wait.

[Donna]

Hope you guys do this while I am in town, I would love to go too... :bigthumbsup:

[Barefoot]

I read this today and wanted to share it with the girls. 1rnfl

Thought for the Day

Men wake up as good looking as when they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

[Donna]

Barefoot...That is all other woman ,except the chat pack...Right?? :o :yikes:

[samhass]

Not you, Bare. You're beautiful. Age is not ugly to me. Wisdom becomes us.

[Just Susan]

....and besides that our husband's eyesite usually deteriorates by the time our bodies go south and they don't notice anyway. ;D

[Donna]

1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl 040 040 040 :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

[Barefoot]

Men wake up as good looking as when they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

Not sure why I find this so funny, I laughed for five minutes!!
Perhaps because when I go to bed I look like my mother, and when I wake up I look like my grandmother. 1rnfl

Susan, Donna and Sam: You're right, men don't notice anyway and we all have that inner glow that wisdom brings. Let me repeat to myself: wrinkles are beautiful, wrinkles are beautiful.

[samhass]

Hey, have you ever see one of those Shar-pei puppies that wasn't just adorable???
You know, the wrinkle puppies.

[Just Susan]

Wrinkles are also very useful....you can hide stuff in them and it leaves both hands free while shopping.

[Hyacinth Bucket]

No wonder the economy is going under. If you did something about the wrinkles the cosmetic companies would be the best blue chip stock to buy.

These are wonderful comments about how we go to sleep and wake up in the am.

HB

[Hyacinth Bucket]

To all my sistahs, Julia was on chat last night with Donna, some other people and myself. It was about four in the morning. We did a posting under Non Village discussion.

Julia says she loves us all. Wrinkles, gray hair, sagging bust, bottoms getting lower, hair grayer, and all of our other bodily woes. She also said the only person she ever sees in the gym is Vetman.

HB

[chelsea24]

hahaha that's right HB. She sees vetman, but she doesn't see his wife! That's because I'm too busy at Curves! :o (My face is still on milk cartons. Are they still looking for me in Canada Bare? I think the APB has spread to Mexico.) Buenos Dios Curves . . . I was just headed your way. ;D

[Hyacinth Bucket]

Chel I am so impressed with you. I tried Curves a few times. I am so uncoordinated I was unable to do the exercises and I could not remember all the things I had to do for each machine.

HB

[nONIE]

If we keep gaining weight,do ya think we can fill in all our wrinkles?

[pm10]

I like your thinking, Nonie! that would certainly be an achievable goal for me!!

[Hyacinth Bucket]

Excellent idea Nonie, one goal I can reach extremely easily.

HB

[chelsea24]

:bigthumbsup: Sounds like a plan, Nonie!

[Just Susan]

If we keep gaining weight,do ya think we can fill in all our wrinkles?


I did!

[Barefoot]

Everyone was raving about Crocs a while back. (I think it was during a discussion of foot problems). I had a pair of Crocs in the back of my closet and never wore them. About a month ago I started wearing them and haven't taken them off since. I finally get it!!

[nONIE]

Crocks really do feel better then most sneakers. Oh which reminds me, wrong topic but nobody calls them gym shoes anymore do they? :dontknow:

[chelsea24]

hahahah Nonie I love you! Nobody calls them sneakers anymore! 1rnfl

[Barefoot]

Crocks really do feel better then most sneakers. Oh which reminds me, wrong topic but nobody calls them gym shoes anymore do they? :dontknow:

Nonie, you say the cutest things.

[nONIE]

OMG Im really dating myself, what do they call them????? I really really dont know!

[Just Susan]

Don't worry Nonie, I don't even know what Crocs are...do they have a heel?

[Hyacinth Bucket]

Nonie, I know what you mean. One of the good things about this forum we all remember the same words that things used to be called - way back then.

HB

[Just Susan]

And then HB there are those of us who aren't from the east coast and have never heard of certain regional terms....like croc's. I get that it is a comfortable shoe, but have never heard of it, or seen it, not here, not in CA. What makes it so great?

Couldn't wait for an answer...looked it up...you guys are talking about what I use for water shoes????? You have got to be kidding?

[Hyacinth Bucket]

Susan isn't there a song that goes something like this "...you call them water shoes I call them crocs...." :dontknow:

HB

[redwitch]

Nope, Susan, they're not. 'When I first moved here and saw Crocs on people's feet (all over the place), I was seriously amazed! I'd seen them on a few people in California, but most of us used them for the river, reservoir, beach, boat -- water si. land huh??? Here, they are de riguer and people swear by them. I may have to break down and buy me a pair.

[Barefoot]

Susan

Crocs aren't regional in the USA, they are immensely popular here in Canada as well (and have been for years). I'm a late bloomer and just started loving them. Best thing is .. they are so light. A lot of doctors and medical personnel in hospitals here wear them. They come in all colours, and there are lots of cheaper knock-offs sold.

I was at a dressy party last week and saw someone wearing them with an elegant pant suit. It is an addiction, like TOTV. Watch out. You too will be wearing Crocs to bed. ;)

I just bought something yesterday called Okabashi, they look like crocs, but a little more elegant design in sandals, perhaps it is the wave of the future. :-*

[nONIE]

Oh I know all about Crocks, I have about 50 pair of them (slight exageration). The nice thing is they now come in different syles. They have an adorable little girly style called Mary Janes.

I also have a knock off pair that I bought a pay less. I hate to admit this but they are much mor comfortable then the actual "Crocks" brand. and Half the price!Go figure!

Its actually the sneaker/gym shoe that I was looking for the current word for. What do they call them these days??? :dontknow:

[Just Susan]

Well my friends, if you say so...maybe I will wear those shoes in public, but there is going to have to be some serious mind changing on my part.

Mine look like round toed Mary Janes in black. I use them for excercise in the pool. (I figure I am already wearing a bathing suit how much worse could it get??) I think mine are really really ugly!!!! But they help keep my feet from cramping. I can't imagine wearing them anywhere else.

They are cushiony, but they are rubbery. therefore hot...true?

Lots of changes in store for me I guess.

[nONIE]

Susan, they are not really that hot because of all the air holes. Hotter then open sandles yes, but not uncomfortably hot. Gosh, Im beginning to feel like I live in the prehistoric days compared to California. ::)

[Barefoot]

Susan, the ugly part of Crocs is part of their charm. They are so ugly they don't even pretend to masquerade as something pretty. Like Doc Martens. ;)

[Just Susan]

Ya...but Bare I didn't like those either. ::) I couldn't believe it when my daughter wore her Doc Marten's (all she wanted for Christmas her sophmore year) with her prom dress. :dontknow:
Actually if I had it my way I would never wear shoes at all.

[Barefoot]

Actually if I had it my way I would never wear shoes at all.

:agree:
Barefoot at Last

[Just Susan]

Just one more reason why we are friends.

[Barefoot]

I saw this poster today and thought of Nonie. She and I are both missing our TV homes and want to return to the Reservation as soon as possible.

Also for Susan who is wanting to move to TV.

Don't count the days.
Make the days count.

I remember my mother saying "Don't wish your life away". Now I know what she meant.

[nONIE]

Im really trying Bare, great advice, but its so :edit: hard!!! :(

just like the song,"I left my heart in SanFrancisco" well, you know the rest. sappy but true.

[Hyacinth Bucket]

Bare :agree: :agree: :agree: with you. It is so true what you wrote. If we don't make the day count that we are living in, it is a lost day.

Thank you for posting this.

Hb

[chelsea24]

My Irish grandmother's favorite saying, "May you live every day of your life." I've always tried to do that. Thanks Gram! :bigthumbsup:

[Barefoot]

Today I bought a quart of frozen chocolate yoghurt. I just checked the container and someone ate most of it. :dontknow: I hate it when it when that happens. And yet, strangely, I'm the only one home. ;)

[Just Susan]

It wasn't me Bare, I ate the ice cream.

[Hyacinth Bucket]

Bare that happens to me also. I think it must be Julia.

HB

[Barefoot]

Yes HB, it could be a ghost. Because strangely I also find chocolate disappearing from the places where I hide it. Ghosts are so smart.

[nONIE]

Could your ghosts names be Biggins or Brutus? :dontknow:

[Barefoot]

Nonie, strangely I think the ghost who eats my icecream has some stupid name like barefoot. She is the one with the muffin top for a waist line.

[chelsea24]

Oh God! My two favorite nutcases! Nonie and Bare. love to you both, chels

p.s. I have a strange ghost in my house that keeps asking me why all the lights are on. I won't shoo him away though, he pays the bills! LOL :joke:

[samhass]

Ice cream? Ice cream? Did someone say ice cream????

[Donna]

Does any one know what happened to the Birthday posts for HB and BF??

[Barefoot]

Donna, Julia deleted them.

[Donna]

OMG..Julia is at it again...

[Barefoot]

Yes Donna, Handie Julia is a busy person.

[Hyacinth Bucket]

Hi All, I have to assume the responsibility of the topic being deleted. It wasn't Tony, Jan, or Handie, but I will say Julia pm'd me and felt bad she wasn't part of the Birthday wishes - so what else could I do?

HB

[Barefoot]

I'm wondering if anyone out there uses "instant tanner" and what kind you prefer.

[nONIE]

I use Loreal's sublime bronze. Looks very natural with no streaking. Im happy with it except the constant reapplication after a shower. Wish it was waterproof! Nice thing about a natural suntan , it lasts for awhile, but theres a price to pay and its not a very good one.

[Just Susan]

Me Bare. I am a burn and peel kinda of person. (Typical redhead skin) I like Jergen's lotion with gentle tanning ingredients. Tans you slowly and doesn't turn you as orange as some do, because of the slowness. Neutregena Instant Bronze is good for deeper tan effects.
All instant tanning products should be sparingly applied in bony areas and tougher skin areas like feet and elbows. Honestly I think they all work differnt on different skin types. You pretty much have to try until you find yours.

[samhass]

Susan, Have you run this past the glamour police??

[Rokinronda]

I think I found my inner self. What do you think? The tomato hat was a no brainer, seeing McDonalds had a surplus.........waste not want not

[samhass]

Rhonda, That is soooooooo hot! I love it.

[Barefoot]

I found some spray-on instant tanner that I really love, it is so fast to apply. No streaking and dries quickly. Unfortunately you have to stand in the nude outside your house to apply it; so the spray doesn't get on inside stuff. And believe me, that isn't something you'd want to see if your stomach is queasy. :barf:

[Just Susan]

I have it, Bare. If the stuff is that good it might be worth buying a circular shower curtain, and a lazy susan. Put up the shower curtain outdoors, put the lazy susan in the middle of it. slowly turn as Fireboy sprays from outside through a slit in the curtain. Wall-la, even tan and happy husband. :bigthumbsup:

[Barefoot]

Susan

You are number one for creativity!! :#1:
A local tanning salon has an instant spray tanning booth. $30 but it does a great job and worth it for special occasions. I always go there before I head to the nude beach. :a20:

[Just Susan]

You go to a Nude Beach? ? ?

Susan

Nude beach? Yes, 40 years ago. Now I wear a head to toe caftan at all times.

[Just Susan]

Me too I use it like a portable cabana. Even has a back pocket for my folding chair.

[Hyacinth Bucket]

We have been to a clothing optional beach - Orient Beach, French Side of St. Marten.

The folks at the beach would be perfect candidates for TV. They came in all sizes, shapes, different level of sags and wrinkles.

They all were very comfortable being who they were. I wish I could have been as comfortable if I were in the nude on this beach.

HB

[nONIE]

We visited a nude beach in Jamaica. However I was not aware that it was a nude beach.
Engr. guy sat me down in a lounge chair handed me a newspaper and disappeared for over an hour saying that he was going to buy us an icecream cone. When I looked up from my newspaper, I was horrified to see quite a few nude bodies walking past me. I know this doesnt sound possible but this was many years ago in my innocent and naive days..When he returned you can bet there was a few choice words spoken. :realmad:

[chelsea24]

1rnfl Only you Nonie would not notice it was a nude beach! That's why I love you, you nutjob! :a20: :a20:

[renielarson]

Oh Nonie...you make me laugh! How funny!

[Hyacinth Bucket]

Nonie, now that you know it is a nude beach - do you want to go back? ;)

HB

[nONIE]

HB,,

At this stage of life, gorgeous young bodies will make me green with envy and the old saggy ones will make me barf!!! :barf:

[Barefoot]

I really admire "seniors" who enjoy their bodies regardless of shape and size. At the nude beach in Jamaica I went to (back when I was a youngster), there were a bunch of nude seniors taking line dancing lessons by the pool. It was a sight to see. ;D

[barb1191]

With all due respect, Nonie, I think I'd prefer to see at a nude beach the old wrinkled bods rather than the thin, emaciated bones. REUBENESQUE even with wrinkles is just fine.

Different strokes for different folks, huh? :clap2:

It's not only about "Marco Polo" is it? ;)

[beady]

Been to Orient Beach in St Maarten, that was several years ago and I agree with Hyacinth, mostly people ,who at the time, I thought were ancient. :yikes: They didn't have a care in the world and seemed oblivious that everything had gone south. I am afraid I am never going to fall into the oblivious category. I will have the caftan with the beach chair in the back pocket...... thank you very much.

[Just Susan]

If we sit together Beady we will look like the outhouses at LSL, only with heads. Wait a minute is that where they got that name?

[Rokinronda]

Heads up!!! LOL susan!! OK we have been way to quiet in the fem forum. Time to get chatty or the guys will think we have run out of steam. FULL STEAM AHEAD! GIRLS RULE! SISTAHS UNITE! and any guys reading please put the seat down on the head, we tend to fall in and I wouldn't want to see anyone get injured!

[nONIE]

Ronda, I always thought it was my own stupid fault for falling in the toilet when the seat is up!! Thought I should pay more attention. What a rude awakening that is, I hate when that happens! In fact I thought I was probably the only idiot on the face of the earth that did that. Thankyou for letting me know Im not alone. ::)

[Donna]

Noni...you make me die laughing... 1rnfl 024 :clap2:

[Just Susan]

Just give thanks that you can still fall in Nonie and Ronda. Tom has been good lately, but the way things are right now if he leaves it up, and I sit down, I'm either gonna be stuck for life or it will be no problem...in which case please shoot me.

[nONIE]

Susan, You are so funny! Actually I didnt want to say anything but I sure dont fall in as far as I used to! Thankyou for your honesty. 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl

does anyone really need to know this???????

[Just Susan]

I consider the information on this forum to be a public service to all persons of the feminine extraction. The topics presented on the Girl Talk Forum are meant to help said women to grow as people.

Susan and I have been talking a lot about caftans lately, (hmmm, wonder if body size has anything to do with that.) I'm looking for a website that has elegant, silky, flowing caftans. Susan gave me a UK site but they're mostly cotton. Anyone got any wonderful shopping websites?

Bare, Chels, What the hail is a caftan? I thought it was a towel type rag that you wear on your head like Carmen Miranda!! Is it something I may want to wear on the cruise to cover all my rolls and celulite? Ill go check out the website.

Which leads me to another question.......... Sure would like some ideas on what to wear on this cruise to make me feel glamorous and skinny? Any suggestions sistahs???

[Rokinronda]

Nonie, you may borrow my tomato hat, just understand it doesn't do well in the sun. You may have to replace the tomatoes from the buffet. :duck:

[nONIE]

Thanks Ronda, I appreciate your generosity, but that will only cover the point on the top of my head, what about the rest of me???? :dontknow:

[beady]

Nonie, when you find something that makes you look skinny you are obligated to share.
I will be wearing the caftans for sure.....with or without underwear....that's something I am not sharing. doh doh

[Barefoot]

Nonie

Cover yourself with saran wrap from head to toe. When you prespire, you will lose 10 lbs.

[nONIE]

Well now Bare, that would certainly make a hit on the ship, people will be heading to :barf: over the rail! LOL LOL

No no Nonie. You do the saran wrap thing at home in private BEFORE the trip!!! They actually have salons that do this and they cost a lot of money.

Did you think I was suggesting you walk around the cruise ship with sarah wrap on? You are so funny. 1rnfl

Let's all just wear caftans. Much simpler, and it will hide the extra pounds we add eating the cruise food. Arrrrrg

A woman in North Carolina had twins this week. The boy weighed 10 lbs 14 ounces.
The girl weighed 12 lbs 3 ounces. For a total of 23 lbs.

And you think you had a hard week!

[beady]

Oh, Nonie you are hilarious 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl

I have an idea.... saran wrap under the caftans, then we can eat as we cruise and sweat it off as we go....no one would ever guess....

[Barefoot]

Beady, perfect solution. And if we have a double chocolate desert, we'll just put on two layers of saran wrap.

[nONIE]

OMG, Wouldnt we feel like we were in Straight jackets???

What happened to the freeing feeling of wearing our caftans???

And how do we explain the strange noise under our clothes?? :dontknow:

[Barefoot]

OMG, Wouldnt we feel like we were in Straight jackets???

To cover the strange noises under our clothes, we will simply play the kazoo when in public. ;) Beads and I probably have some left over from the TV Kazoo Day. Easy peasy.

After the first day you take off the saran wrap .. ten pounds gone and the air can blow through. Or, if you're really uptight about a few lbs, there are other alternatives, like :barf:

[beady]

Nonie and Bare ... Saran wrap is very quiet, no noise from under the caftan.


Would be fun to do a kazoo concert onboard...it wouldn't be too annoying to the other passengers :cus: :cus:

We can call ourselves the Cruiser Girls...oh wait !!!!that could have another meaning... :redface:

[nONIE]

Beady,

I absolutely love the idea of having a kazoo concert on board, I really mean it. We could be part of the ship entertainment, mabe even harmonize! Are ya in Bare, and anyone else who is kazoo gifted??? :2excited: 040

[chelsea24]

Nonie and Bare ... Saran wrap is very quiet, no noise from under the caftan.



And Beady you know this how? 1rnfl

[barb1191]

And Beady you know this how? 1rnfl

Probably the dollar store or Markets of Marion; they have EVERYTHING there....b

[nONIE]

I have found that cheap Kazoos sound terrible. I think we better look for a higher end kazoo, mabe at a music store? Dollar store kazoos will drive people to jump overboard and abandon ship.

Please let me know if you find a great sounding kazoo, thanks!

I just remembered! Cracker Barrel sells Kazoos.

Re kazoos.....this should give you lotsa choices....b

[chelsea24]

Yes Nonie, I'm off to Kazoo's R Us! You nutjob! LOLOL 1rnfl

[nONIE]

Thanks Barb, but why do I get this feeling that Chels isnt taking this seriously? :dontknow:

Beady, you started this, are you in> We could call ourselves the "Caftanian Kazooers," nice ring hu?

[Barefoot]

I can't imagine anything that would make us less popular with other cruisers. Can you imagine the kazoo practice sessions around the pool? ;D Kind of like nude line dancing lessons. I think the kazoo idea should walk the plank. Splash. But the saran wrap/caftan thing might work, ya think?

How about forming a female chorale group called "The Caftan Criers" ???

Here's one for you to mull over. My friend and her hubby went on a cruise and entered a costume competition. She didn't wear any makeup and managed to find cothes between her hubby's clothes and hers, and she went made up as a nun.

She managed to take a white shirt collar and put it across her forehead and covered her head with a black blouse or however she did it, it sure looked real. The crowd thought she was a real nun as they didn't recognize her in the nun garb. She walked with her head bowed and her hands in prayer position (palms together at her waist).

Saw the pics and I've known her many years since childhood and wouldn't have recognized her! She won first prize!!

[redwitch]

I'm not a cruise fan but I gotta tell ya .. if a group started kazooing around me, they would be swimming to the next port of call. Kazoos are fun but not something I would want to be around for any amount of time (like, um, oh, say 5 seconds) on board a ship. Sorry, ladies.

[chelsea24]

uh hem, Madam Kazoo (Nonie) the floor is to you.
Shall we Kazoo?
With all respect due,
I have no Kazoo.
So if you decide,
To Kazoo on the ride,
I'll scurry outside
and purchase one too!

:bow: 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl

Let me know darlin'. Right now I'm Kazooless! :o

[nONIE]

Thanks for being willing to join this crazy caftanian kazooer Chels, Actually I thought it was a great idea! I had it all planned. We would come out on stage in our exotic print caftans after being proudly introduced as the
"GREAT caftanian kazooers". We would dance out on the stage doing an American Indian dance(sort of like a pow wow), while playing a lovely melodic tune on our kazoos. The audience would holler and cheer us on and.........

Well anyway, I told Engr. guy about my plan and he infatically announced I will be cruisin alone!! >:( So I guess my plans are dead in the water according to Bare.

Beady, you have to be careful what you say to me, I believe everything people say, and I have also been reading too many of Boomers posts. So whats plan B????? :dontknow:

[beady]

Oh, I guess you all don't like the kazoo idea, well I can't sing...so that's out....... how about sort of an exotic rendition of line dancing in our caftans. That could be interesting...and if we have our saran wrap on we will loose even more weight and be able to nosh at the midnight buffet...

[Casino]

To all my sistahs,

I need your help!!!! What do you give a man for your 25th wedding anniversary?
I need some idea's please.

Thanks for your help. :dontknow:

[nONIE]

Joanne,

Does he have everything????? :dontknow:

[Casino]

Nonie,

Yes he has everything and he has me!!!!!! Which should be enough but I wanted to do something special as this is 25 years.....

Please help!!!

[nONIE]

Well,.......

How about YOU wrapped in a double layer of Saran wrap??? 040

What are his hobbies or special interests?

[Casino]

Me in a double layer of saran wrap?????? That's a thought!!!! Do you think that might be to kinky?????

All kidding aside...his interests are golf, bowling and racing....

[Rokinronda]

Special, hmmm, thats a tough one! Maybe a spontaneous night away. Newport? Overlooking the harbor? Romantic dinner, moonlight walk on the beach, wedding song on a tape recorder as you come out of the bathroom in new sexy lingerie or saran wrap? Then maybe a scrapbook that you fill with pictures and favorite thoughts and memories? I wrote Ed a poem. It brought tears to his eyes. The name of the poem was "By Pure Chance". I may share it sometime. It seems that sometimes the little things we do mean the most! How about a quick getaway to THE VILLAGES??!! When is the big day? Happy Happy 25th anniversary!!!

[Casino]

Ronda

What beautiful and thoughtful idea's !!!! Little things do mean alot...
We are taking a quick trip to TV . We arrive on July 1st. We will be celebrating our anniversary on July 4th. I just wanted to do something special...

[scottke]

Joanne - how exciting. Congratulations - 25 terrific. We're one year behind you. I hope you enjoy your day. What about getting him a certificate to race a car at Daytona. I have a friend that did that and her husband loved it.

[Rokinronda]

Well, I know I can have Rocky make an announcement and play a song dedicated to you both. Maybe after the fireworks you can take a quiet walk on the LSL boardwalk and tell him how the fireworks are dull compared to the love you have for him! Give him a coupon book for back scratches, foot rubs, breakfast in bed......tickets to an event he has always wished to go to....Give him a lock of your hair tied in a bow for him to carry whenever you are apart...........ok now I'm getting carried away, I give up.

[Casino]

Scottke,

Thanks ....he probably would enjoy that....Plus we would have to schedule another trip to
TV just so he could enjoy it.....OH well....another trip to TV...I would enjoy that.... :)


Thanks

[Casino]

Ronda...

Great ideas ....I cannot thank you enough.....

[nONIE]

Joanne,

How about a full body message? Seriously, he would probably love it.

In any case, Congratulations and heres wishing you 25 more happy years together!

[Barefoot]

A calendar for the year 2009.

With a picture for every month taken by you or by your husband during that month or season .... sometime over the past 25 years.

A picture of you in your bikini 25 years ago, a picture of the day one of your kids was born, (or of a new puppy if you don't have kids), a picture of him bowling, winning a golf trophy, I'm sure you probably have Christmas pictures, Thanksgiving, Spring, Summer, etc.

I think it is something he would treasure forever.

[Casino]

Barefoot

What a nice idea...I better start looking for pictures....

[chelsea24]

That's a great idea Bare! I was going to try to think of something, but I love that idea. :#1: Great to relive good memories through pictures.

[Barefoot]

I think the calendar idea is a great one, and it's not expensive at all. And when the year is over, it makes a wonderful souvenir. I've been meaning to do it for Fireboy for ages, but I'm too lazy to look for the pictures. Perhaps this will inspire me.

[travelstiles]

[islandgal]

The calendar idea is a great one.

My children did that for me for last Christmas and it is a delight every day when I walk into to my kitchen and see it with meaningful memories.....................

[renielarson]

I wanted to give my husband a keepsake that could be passed on to our children. I bought him a very nice gold watch and had it engraved with a special message just for him.

[Barefoot]

I've got my house up for sale. I've probably had 40 showings in the past month. That means I've cleaned my house 40 times. The real estate company just called and booked another showing for tomorrow afternoon. Arrrrg.

And I don't even get the reward of moving to TV full time because of the :edit: immigration laws. :realmad:

Thanks, I just needed to vent.

[samhass]

Well Bare, that's 40 more showings than I have had. Of course I didn't have to clean since no one was looking at either place. Oh well.
As for the immigration law, that would deeply upset me. Heck, it does upset me. I wish you were here all the time.

[Barefoot]

Our real estate market here in Canada is still quite lively. I want to get my house sold before the market takes a tumble. I want to get moved before I return to TV for the winter.

I wish I were in TV all the time also. But that will never happen, unless I can get refugee status. That only works if you don't have any money.

[chelsea24]

Bare, hurry back. >:( We'll hide you. ;)

[nONIE]

Bare,

If you can prove that you have been tortured by the Mcain/Obama political :edit:, mabe you could get refugee status!!! LOL

[Barefoot]

Bare,
If you can prove that you have been tortured by the Mcain/Obama political :edit:, mabe you could get refugee status!!! LOL

Nonie, Chels has offered to hide me under her bed. Maybe this time I'll just "forget" to leave the USA and take my chances.

Lots of people are content to be snowbirds. Wish I were one of them!

[Just Susan]

Bare have you ever considered hiring a double to do your Border Crossings for you?

[nONIE]

Bare, another reasonable solution is, just claim dementia, how believable is that living in an over 55 community. You simply forgot when to leave!! Ill go to bat for ya Bare! ;)

[chelsea24]

YEAH! NONIE! What a great idea! We can all testify that Bare has dementia! 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl What do ya think Bare? Can you remembered what we just asked you?

[Barefoot]

YEAH! NONIE! What a great idea! We can all testify that Bare has dementia! 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl What do ya think Bare? Can you remembered what we just asked you?

I would definitely use dementia as an excuse to stay in TV, good suggestion Nonie! But Fireboy would drag me back across the border to his beloved cottage. I think I've had dementia for quite a while now! I can barely remember what year it is, nevermind what Chels just asked me. :o But at least I'm still smarter than Miss Alabama.

(On September 17, 1994, Alabama's Heather Whitestone was selected as Miss America 1995.)
Question: If you could live forever, would you and why?
Answer: 'I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever,'
--Miss Alabama in the 1994 Miss USA contest.

[beady]

Oh, Bare , that is the solution to your problem......just stop at the border babble on about when you left when you arrived ,dates ,entries,exits etc, etc.... the authorities will wave you on , just to get rid of you. 1rnfl 1rnfl

Wedding fairy

A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant.

Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table. She said, 'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.'

The wife answered, 'Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband.' The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - two tickets for the Queen Mary II appeared in her hands.

The husband thought for a moment: 'Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again. I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me.'

The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish.
So the fairy waved her magic wand and poof! ... the husband became 92 years old.

The moral of this story: Men who are ungrateful buggers should remember that fairies are female.....

Isn't that the truth! One woman's rose was previously another woman's thistle. Perhaps we should all talk to previous partners before we hook up with someone. Hmmm. That would work, because I've bribed my ex-husbands to speak well of me! :redface:

I've noticed that there seems to be a common theme in a lot of TOTV threads. It appears that we all feel very fortunate to have "discovered" The Villages! And amazed at how lucky we are to be so happy now that our "golden years" have arrived. 040

Like Village Kid says in her cute southern accent "We're fine like wine."

Yup! Aged to perfection. ;D

ya know Bare, that is so so true. Before TV there didnt seem like much to look forward to in our golden years, now I am so happy and excited about our Neverland because in a sense, we are becomming young again, how great is that???? ;D

[chelsea24]

Nonie! :agree: Living in TV does make me feel younger than ever! I love it more everyday. I still think Bare should claim dementia. ;D

I'm going to see an Immigration lawyer next week .. there must be some way I can stay in the U.S. longer than 183 days a year! Barefoot versus U.S. Immigration, unfortunately doesn't sound like a win situation. :realmad:

Wow, do I ever miss TV. :'(

[samhass]

Bare, Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Ask about loopholes. We miss your delightful presence.

If you need a sponsor I am available......seriously..... there must be some way to beat the system and get to be here longer. You are contributing to our economy ::) ::) not sucking from it .....that should account for something.

Word of advise ladies...be sure to back up all your information on your hard drive and save it to another hard drive. I did not do that and now my laptop is in the hands of a computer tech who is trying to get my files off of the broken drive. All my photo's, a couple of programs and 2 online classes I was taking...what a mess...and all because I didn't stop to put my data on another hard drive ...

How on earth did I get so entwined in this electronic web :dontknow: :dontknow:

Suggest an easy way to backup. Buy a flash drive and just copy stuff onto the flash drive. It's very compact/small and holds a good amount. Just plug it into your computer and copy stuff to the new drive that shows up as a new alpha letter, i.e., Drive E: or F: . You can see by the picture on the following link how small it is (actual size in pic).

The Villages, Florida

When I went to lunch today, I noticed an old lady sitting on a park bench sobbing her eyes out. I stopped and asked her what was wrong. She said, 'I have a 22 year old husband at home. He makes love to me every morning and then gets up and makes me pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit and freshly ground coffee.'

I said, 'Well, then why are you crying?' She said, 'He makes me homemade soup for lunch and my favorite brownies and then makes love to me for half the afternoon.

I said, 'Well, why are you crying?' She said, 'For dinner he makes me a gourmet meal with wine and my favorite dessert and then makes love to me until 2:00 a.m.' I said, 'Well, why in the world would you be crying?'

She said, 'I can't remember where I live!'

Sorry to interrupt girls, but I am leaving in minutes to have this white hair changed. It has been white since it grew in after it's chemo vacation. Oncologist reccomends NOT coloring it for awhile. Now is the time, so the next time you see me I will look like Jennifer Anistons........grandmother.

I don't know what color. Why aren't you all HERE!!!!!

I'm sitting at the edge of the sofa, computer in my lap, just waiting to see the picture of the new Graciegirl, hurry please! (I'm betting on a blonde do.) :o

Well, I put myself in the hands of Elaine who does my daughters hair and she made me a a champagne blonde. (read. Not much different) She did give me a nice cut. I don't have anyone to take my picture right now and if I did, sometimes I can get things posted on here and sometimes I can't.

I want to give you all a hug for your kind thoughts. Gosh. :redface:

Bright, you'd think so. And yet, as Governor, and prior to attending the Republican convention, she must have consulted a few hair stylists.

Hey Beads, you don't have to apologize to Topicop on this thread, all hi jacks enthusiastically accepted.

I'm also impressed by Sarah Palin, what self confidence. I don't like the fact she hunts moose, but I guess that helped her develop balls. (Am I allowed to say that?) The VP debate will be amazing.

Did you see the way Sarah Palin's little girl smoothed the hair of the baby. That (of course) has nothing whatsoever to do with politics. But I thought it was a truly touching moment.

[Just Susan]

I think Palin's youngest daughter Piper is just way too cute, charming and seems really mature for her age. I agree Bare smoothing her brother's hair like that, was such a loving gesture. Very sweet.

Dave Letterman said that "Sarah Palin looks like a poster girl for Lens Crafters". 1rnfl I'm not sure how she can look so old fashioned and sexy at the same time. Neat trick.

Bare, I heard a Democratic pundit say through his teeth, "hasn't she heard of contact lens"? I wondered how all the people unable to wear contact lense and require glasses take that hit on their appearance.

Peachie, I think the Dem pundits are annoyed at all the publicity Palin is generating. Just like the Republicans were annoyed when Obama burst on the scene and the spotlight was on him.

BTW, because this is Girl Talk we don't have to talk about political issues, just girly stuff. Meow, meow.

Strangely, all of a sudden, glasses and beehives are back! Gov Palin probably doesn't even need glasses .. just part of her librarian/hot babe personna.

The whole media buzz about Gov Palin is funny to watch. But soon she'll be yesterday's news and they'll be back discussing issues, which is actually what should be the focus.

I wear contact lenses, Bare, and glasses for reading and backup when the contacts are out. I had my eyes examined 2 wks ago and was looking at frames and liked the smaller lenses sizes in the frames I saw. Being a fashionista back in the day, I wore those huge frames that were popular in the seventies before I got contacts. I don't want to go back to those but I suppose it's a possibility they will come in fashion again, ugh! :o

I do admire anyone who wears contact lenses, I'm not brave enough to stick anything to my eye balls. Remember the days we used to think pink frames with rhinestones were "hot"? :yikes:

[Peachie]

Unfortunately, I do remember those frames, Bare, and now all the glitz is coming back in style. That's why I'm afraid the huge frames with come back in also. ::)

Oh, remember the character that Cher used to play on the Sonny and Cher Show? What was her name? She wore a skin tight animal print leotard type outfit with the jewel encrusted wing tipped glasses.

Are we heading that way? Wonder how that style will look with tummy rolls??? Hmmmm, what a visual that is!

[beady]

Oh, Susan how funny.

Cher's character also wore long earrings with a big pink plastic ball on the end, and chewed a huge wad of gum......

Lord help us ...that can't be coming back. The animal prints have come and gone several times...but the pointed rhinestone encrusted glasses...oh please deliver me...I just couldn't take that, especially with all the bumps and lumps I have acquired. 1rnfl 1rnfl

[Just Susan]

Can't you just see all of us Beads, dressed like shades of Cher's character ... and then freezing? :a20: :a20: 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl :a20: :a20: 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl

What would the band say about that?

Susan, are you enjoying your new hair cut? It is so cute.

[travelstiles]

It would kind of be like that scene from the movie "Rat Race," with all the women dressed like Lucy Ricardo going to the Lucy look-alike convention!!!

Yes and thanks Bare it makes me feel like I don't really qualify for Social Security and AARP doesn't really consider me a charter member. ;)
