What about MY cruise ? [Archive] - Talk of The Villages Florida

OK folks; I have read about and envied HB's cruise, MelZ's cruise, visited with my new friends who were about to embark on the TOTV cruise, and today I bid a "bon voyage" to my sister, her husband, and two other couples who are doing a NYC-Caribbean cruise departing today.
Now, don't you agree that I've had enough of this and should, also, have a cruise, too? Contributions are greatly appreciated and should be hand-delivered to Rokinronda and Ed as soon as possible. All who are generous enough to contribute will receive one of those fantastic, wonderful, terrific wide-mouth frogs that you use at the kitchen sink for the brillo pads and are sold at all the outdoor tourist-trap flea markets. Doesn't sound good enough for you? Well, it's probably better than the banking bail-out (oh, oh! that's another topic so please disregard).

Really looking forward to the next TOTV cruise because by then I will be a permanent resident. anchors aweigh!

Hi tkret,

I have just read your post.

I agree with you 100% it is definitely your time to go on a cruise. :thumbup:

Just let us know when and where you want to go and we will see what we can do for you.

Knowing the Peeps they do not want anyone to feel sad or left out.

Ball is in your court now - so to speak that is.

HB

Thank you, HB, for your kindness and understanding. There are some TOTVers, like lovely KathieI and RR, who would like to send me out to sea on a cruise; but, I think it would be in a dingy during a hurricane. I just love those gals! :laugh:
But, you are real sweet to take up my cause.....so, when are the contributions coming in?

Hyacinth Bucket

tkret, I can not believe that sweet retiring, shy Kathie would want to do that to you.

As for RR - I do not think so either. She would rather go dancin than send you out on a raft in the middle of a huricaine.

Since you did not respond to where you want to go, I shall let my imagination run wild (be careful - you do not know where you will end up) and choose a destination for you.

We will see what happens.

Do you own a tux? do you feel okay going "au natural"?

HB,
Be careful of those two. IMHO, they are The Villages' version of "Thelma and Louise" :eek:

...and for part two of your posting... the "au natural" part is an ugly thought and as for the "tux" part I will reply as Kramer said on "Seinfeld" when he claimed that the tuxedo he is wearing is "a rental but I've had it for 15 years". :popcorn:

I want my money back.:cus:

I contributed to your danged cruise fund and didn't get the handy dandy frog for my brillo pad.

I think Ronda took my money and went to Katie Belles.

Oh Yeah, Graciegirl. I haven't gone on my cruise, yet, but I have heard that Ronda and Ed have been spending a lot of cash at The Cattlebaron lately. And what's this thing I'm hearing that they have been seen in a new BMW?
hm-mmmmmm :shrug:

Hyacinth Bucket

10-03-2008, 04:33 PM

I don't believe it GG.
I repeat
I don't believe it GG.

True you know who just got a new car, but I don't want to mention any names here.

As for the other person at the Cattlebaron - we will just have to check out there videos to see the truth. Do you have the dates?

Cassie, what do you mean "a few months"? I'll be in TV in a month. And, also, I'm wondering about your comment of shipping me out to sea. Why does the Neptune Society come to mind....

Be careful, Cousin, or I'll have to tell stories about YOUR side of the family :duck:

tkret, I just checked out Neptune Society - interesting.

If I understand you and Cassie correctly - you think she wants to throw your ashes overboard?

I do not think Cassie is that type of person, she has such a beautiful smile.

But then again ....

HB

HB
I'm just concerned that she won't do me in first but will just toss me overboard to feed the fishes. You don't understand....you see, her side of the family are the scary ones! She likes to portray herself as kind and gentle but did you know that she can filet a cod in less than 2 minutes? Also, you know that alligator purse she owns? She didn't buy it, she made it herself!
Why do you think her brother, Jimmy, joined the Marines? USMC is a piece of cake. Oh, boy, I'd better clam up now because they are everywhere!

Do tell tkret. I did not know that about Cassie -

With a background like that - not to sure what to say.

OH GROSS!!!! Did you not remember I am the royal side of the family! I may actually be the only one....I WOULD NEVER EVEN TOUCH A FISH MORE OR LESS DO WHAT YOU SAID I DID TO SOME ALIGATOR....I run so slow it would have made me into a meal instead of me making a purse!!

Aahhh...the Marines on the other hand...they are the ones I would run from.....those Burns boys are BIG boys....a little scary....

HB....thank you for the thoughts on my smile....not to worry when TK says those things he is describing HIS own family...I was ADOPTED...:1rotfl:

Fumar ... what a shame about your keyboard. Please send the bill to Cassie because, as she admits, she is Royalty and has a lot of money. I know for a fact that Cassie refuses to shop at Wal-Mart because she's afraid someone from The Villages will recognize her.

Yes Fumar...send the bill on over...I will make sure that Tkret recieves it...and if he does not pay the bill...I know he gladly work it off. Have you any gardening he can do...I hear this is his speciality, although watch out for the 3 leaved plants...

Me, well someone saw me kicking a can down the street, and when asked what I was doing I said, "Moving." And speaking of cans, I need to go out now and collect some empties. I've almost got enough to finance my home purchase!

Tkret dear...don't forget to stop by the castle....we have plenty of extra cans and you can rummage through the cans to find the left overs we discarded.

Cassie Sweetheart: How is this for a great old Irish proverb:
"May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty." and I know that applies to us.

Love you Cousin. See you in about 5 weeks. :kiss:

And here is one for you! Love to you too! Isn't family wonderful!

As you slide down the banister of life,
May the splinters never point the wrong way!

Don't you like me??

GG....you know how she adores things like that....she couldn't resist keeping it...just so darn cute!! I am sure it has nothing to do with you...
Ronda go to the market of marion and spend another dollar...buy GG a new frog!!

GG....LOVE the picture!!

10-04-2008, 08:16 AM

GG, You can't have a frog until you are here full time. Also, how did I get involved in this ??!!!!!!

TKRET DID IT!! He is very trusting though as well....read the first post on this thread...he ask that everyone bring the money for his cruise to you and Ed...wonder why he did not ask them to bring it to me...I am family! LOL...perhaps he doesn't trust me as much! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

10-04-2008, 09:08 AM

Oh shoot tkret, have we neglected to tell you that we are leaving Monday on another cruise....I thought you knew about it, and you just decided that we were not cruiseworthy friends :shrug::1rotfl:

Oh BTW,
Rhonda, Ed and I are heading to the mall...it seems that a windfall has come their way and I am going to help them pick out some new furniture. : :1rotfl:

Hyacinth Bucket

10-04-2008, 09:13 AM

md blondie - while you are shopping up a storm, remember they have GG's frog and do not need another one.

Where are you shopping? With the amount of money, that I heard through the grapevine, that Rhonda and Ed have received so far, I do not think price will be an issue.

HB

Blondie

10-04-2008, 09:28 AM

HB, I will definitely not allow them to purchase another frog. That wouldn't be fair to GG.
You are right about the pot of gold they have inherited it is quite substantial so we may have to fly off to New York to check out some of the latest trends. I suspect at the end of our shopping spree we will have dinner at one of the hot spots in NY and then perhaps a broadway show.:popcorn:

10-04-2008, 10:45 AM

Hi Rokinronda ..... I know exactly how you feel because I don't know how or why my name was brought into this either. I accidentally came across this thread and noticed my name. I've put some thought into this and I think I know the culprit, the perpetrator, no, those are not strong enough words:
THE SHAMELESS HUSSY.

It is your partner in crime KATHIEI

Somehow she obtained knowledge of my signon and password and is posting messages claiming they are from me. But you know me, I am waaaay too shy to have written the things that have been written. I am a lurker not a poster.

I also doubt that you have been keeping any of the contributions being donated towards my cruise. But, but ... I have noticed on another thread that KathieI and Donna want to purchase a bagel shop in Colony Plaza. Hey wait a minute I'll bet you and Ed are going to be the silent partners providing the financial backing they will need. Where are the funds coming from?

Oh, RR what a tangled web you are weaving..... shame, shame. And have you coerced that cute, little blonde from MD to partake in your illicit activities? :police:

And Cassie, I know that WE don't ascribe to the following quote, but I wonder if Gracie Allen's husband knew something......

"Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family ...... in another city."
George Burns

now, I have some Christmas shopping to do. I have to leave a whole bunch of gifts behind for my family since I won't be with them this Dec. 25th. I wonder what I should buy for all of them? Hm-mmmmm : hey, I know, what about those cute little wide-mouth frogs that they can keep their brillo pads in!

Hyacinth Bucket

10-04-2008, 10:48 AM

Md - don't forget about the hot spots where people dance the night away. Remember the city is known as "The city that never sleeps." otherwise it is affectionately called the Big Apple. I have booked three rooms at the Waldorf and the Plaza. Please let me know where you want to stay.

There are excellent places to shop in NY and eat and see shows and of course you will need to hire a chauffeured limousine and a consultant.

Just want to let you know we will apply for the consultant position and hire a limo and driver for you for the rock bottom price of only $500.00 per hour. :1rotfl:

Wlhat more can you ask for from another Sistah?

HB

Hyacinth Bucket

10-04-2008, 10:57 AM

tkret, I want to personally thank you for starting this thread. You have made my Sistah and her husband wealthy, created employment for md blondie and us.

Not only that I hear Pres. Bush is sending you a personal note for helping the economy.

You are truly a kind hearted soul.

I do not agree with you on a couple of things though;

1. RR is not a shameless hussy.
2. Kathie would never think of committing a crime of any type. Please remember she is shy, retiring, wall flower and very sweet.
3. Since Cassie is your blood relative I have decided "no comment" would be the best comment.

Hello HB
Please read, again, my post. I did not state that RR is the "shameless hussy" but HER PARTNER IN CRIME IS. And I can just about hear your sarcasm as you describe Ms KathieI.
Please don't remind me of my relationship to Cassie...we have been trying for generations to distance ourselves from those bunch of horse-thieves. Cousin Jimmy is the only decent one of that side of the family but not strong of spirit. He told me he would rather go fight in a far-away war ... his way of alleviating his frustrations. He DOES say his Mom makes a great Irish Soda Bread, though.

10-04-2008, 01:25 PM

Cassie,
I just returned home to find that someone, once again, has used my sign-on and password to post some unsavory messages. I have changed my password and YOU KNOW WHO (see past posting about this) will not be able to continue doing this. You know that I would never post such things about our family. I feel so violated! I will forgive those who have trespassed against us. They have fallen to temptation but they remain some of the nicest and sweetest ladies I have ever known and I'm sure you feel the same way.
So, in the spirit of good will I invite these sweet and precious ladies (and ED, too) to join me on my cruise and share the same lifeboat if it comes to that.
RR, KathieI, md Blondie, Ed - will you join Cousin Cassie, HB and myself on a fun-filled cruise sometime soon? This is my olive branch ... it is now up to you.

...but Blondie, please don't ask a crew member "What time is the Midnight Buffet please?"
