Hi Wendy :=)), I think it's time to LIGHTEN UP and take a BREAK and talk about some of the funny things people do that make NO sense. Have you ever noticed that people, (maybe even you) will buy an auto and put $1000.00 to $5000.00 down and make monthly payments of $200.00 to $500.00 for 3 to 5 years and look crosseyed at you for suggesting that you spend $500.00 for a mattress? Think about this. An auto cost money to run because of gas, oil changes, tune ups, tires, shocks and even an occasional bath etc. Oh, and the insurance!! All this....besides the big monthly payment!:=(( You ride around in this car for 30 to 60 hours a month. When it's thirsty you HAVE to stop to put gas in it. If the sun is glaring in your eyes, you have to stop and squee gee the window (if your window washer is empty!) If it whines, growls or squeals, you have to stop and figure out what's the matter. If it dies, you're stranded! (if your cel-phone is dead too, your really stranded!) The point is, you have to pamper this thing and pay big bucks just to keep it on the road. On the other hand. Your bed!? It just lays there. It doesn't run on gas, doesn't need anything changed but the sheets and never growls or dies! It's just maintenance free!!!:-) You spend anywhere from 220 to 260 hours a month in it and expect it to give you a GOOD nights rest. You spend about 1/12 of your life in your car and will spend in payments, insurance, gas and up keep, $300.00 to $700.00 a month! (this doesn't apply to "old fogies" that drive a car for 30 years!:-) You spend 1/3 of your life in your bed and don't want to spend $500.00 on a mattress!! And the dumb thing will last you 20 years!? Besides that, when's the last time you wrecked your bed?! Something is the matter with this picture;-)) Got any other crazy things people do, guys? Please add your own:-) Maryann | ||

things that make you go, "hmm" a driveway is where you park, whereas a parkway is where you drive ;) Chyna | ||

LOL guys! That is so true Maryann. I drive a used car that is paid for. But the maintenance! And I am one who spent almost $500 on my mattress set. It is royal purple and oh so comfortable! I love it. My husband and I said we couldn't pick a better investment for our first "major" purchase as a married couple. I would spend all day in it if I could get my computer into it. :) :) :) Wendy | ||

Okay, that does it! I'm going out to get a new mattress tonight. Bill Thompson | ||
| Billthompson |
Maryann and Wendy, The new mattress will go great with my "silly goose" down comforter ;) Bill Thompson | ||
| Maryann |
Are you still that "long necked fowl feller?" :=)) | ||
| Dennisrainwater |
Hey Wendy! Got the perfect solution for ya'! Get a notebook computer, then you can spend the rest of your life in your bed! Safer than that car. Unless,... gee, did you say you were marri... Forget that idea! You think the maintenance on a car is expensive!!!! =:o | ||
| Patti |
One problem with the notebook computer in the bed... Well, one that I will talk about on here, at any rate... Bad for the neck and shoulders. Unless your spouse is a chiropractor, I don't recommend it! :) (The voice of experience speaking here..) | ||
| Breezy |
Bliss, I mean Bill, I mean, Sqwack!!! Ehem! That's better. That was hilarious! I love the "silly goose"down featherbed. Too funny after a looooonng day! Dennis, My husband and I have a hard enough time getting out of bed,;). And it's already resulted in high maintenance! (3 kids) :) He he! I love this thread!!! Wendy | ||

Hee Heee Heee Wendy! You just wait until eight or nine years go by and then all of a sudden---surprise! Here's baby number 4! We had two and thought we were through, and wouldn't you know it....eight years later I get a call from my wife who's off vacationing with the kids. My response was 'YOU'RE WHAT? HOW? NO, I MEAN, WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? NO, NEVER MIND---WHEN IS IT DUE?' (Sigh) And now I have a little boy that stands by my work truck and hollers 'GO!', and crawls inside and flips the gas tank switches around and turns on all of the buttons and keeps my (almost) middle aged life in an uproar. Just you wait Wendy---it could happen to you too! | ||
| Breezy |
LV, It better not!!! We got fixed. Howie did anyway. I have heard horror stories though and it better not happen to me. I am sure your little treasure keeps you hopping. Has he tried to drive the truck yet? Oh my. ( If it did happen to me, my husband would have a few questions!) Wendy | ||
| Loneviking |
Oh yes, he's tried to drive the truck. He knows what keys are and how a car starts and what makes it go. He knows how a lawn tractor starts up as well, and that is his second favorite machine. My only salvation is that he is only 2 and it will be a couple of years before he can hotwire something and be big enough to leave with it! He already escapes from a gated and locked yard! He's not a bad boy, but every stereotype you can think of for a boy applies to him. My poor wife says that if he had been first, he would have been last!! And tell your Hubby that 'clip and snip' doesn't always take. My wife is still leery after two years and several samples! :) | ||
| Breezy |
Dennis, That's what I'm talking about! AAAHHH! Hey, I thought this was supposed to be funny! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) Wendy ps my 2 1/2 girl is worse. She climbs the refrigerator, the upper cupboards, the stove.... | ||
| Dennisrainwater |
Hey Wendy, I've got three girls of my own!!! And after number two, if they had been gathering momentum as they came along, we'd be dead by now! I tried to include a little photo, but though the formatting page shows how to include images, it doesn't seem to work. Anyone else figured it out? Dennis<>< | ||
| Maryann |
Hi Wendy, I'm horrible confused. You said: "Dennis, My husband and I have a hard enough time getting out of bed,;). And it's already resulted in high maintenance! (3 kids) :)" Now, are you saying, "Dennis, My husband and I" or Dennis...........My husband and I? Now you say: "It better not!!! We got fixed. Howie did anyway." See my confusion???? But, I'm giving you an avenue of escape;-)) Maryann | ||
| Breezy |
Hey Maryann, My husband is Howie. Dennis is the gentleman I am talking to on the Former Adventist Forum. Dennis, If we get a divorce, will you still be my cousin? (just a really poor joke my husband uses all the time,Howie that is). Maryann, I have come to the conclusion that you are too tired. Go to sleep. Just to irritate you, I am going to go read The Fruitage of Spiritual Gifts by Lewis Christian. By the way, it's whole theory is that Ellen passes all of the biblical tests of a true prophet. Take that and put it in your hat. :) ;) heheheheheheheh. Wendy | ||
| Maryann |
I'm not tired, I'm just trying to keep up so you can't stay awake long enough to read heresy! My hat is off, stuff it in your pillow and sleep on it! :):):) | ||
| Loneviking |
Three girls Dennis? That plus your wife equals four! I pity you when they all get old enough to hit that 'certain time of the month' along with your wife. I hope you have a hobby that takes you out of the house and away from home on those days! :) Seriously though, girls are great fun to have around. since I had no sisters, and all 16 of my cousins were boys I had no idea how to raise girls. I just raised 'em like boys right down to roughousing with them. I'd capture them on the bed and 'body slam' and 'pole drive' 'em onto the mattress. They had the best time! I had no idea that little girls would love to be roughoused with! Wendy---you have a real curtain climber! -er, fridge climber! Whats on top of the fridge that's so interesting? My boy is always hungry and he wants INSIDE the fridge--and he knows how to do that too. My wife never could understand how I could always be so hungry---then our son showed up and now she claims it's a genetic defect! :) So, you're a redhead too? No wonder we butt heads as I'm a redhead with a Scotch/Irish/German/Spanish background. None of the kids got the red hair though--just the temper. What about yours? L.V. | ||

Wendy - Seein's how we moved to Arkansas real recent-like, I reckon we'd still be cousins! I'm just hopin' you wouldn't wreck my chances at pickin' up a new woman at our next family reunion... Loneviking - We've moved to a real recreational paradise -- next to a couple of large lakes -- 30,000 and 80,000 acres. Thus, by the time I'm swimmin' in hormones around here, I plan on taking off to go fishin' for a week a month, or so... Maybe I could get a horse and go trail packin' with Cousin Wendy... Now, speaking of Viking...where'd you pick up that moniker?? My wife is a REAL viking...I rescued her from Norway nine-and-a-half years ago! We met in England where she was attending Newbold College... Have a great day, ya'll, Dennis<>< | ||

LV,(lovey?), Dark brown, light brown, and very blonde/blue eyes. And wouldn't you know it the gorgeous blonde/blue is the little girl. Boy. Am I ever scared!!! She's so pretty she makes hearts pound. She climbs in the fridge too. She has a huge appetite because her daddy is 6'2" and 208lbs. I on the other hand am only 5'3" and very petite. She is already about 34-35 inches tall and she's just 21/2. Dennis, Naw! I won't ruin nothing just as long as you keep its alls in the family. :) Wendy | ||
| Loneviking |
Well Wendy, your girl is about the size of my guy! My little man weighs in at about 34 lbs and is about 36 inches tall. My wifes side is tall (her two brothers are 6'5 and 6'6) and my side is built heavy like weightlifters--I'm 5'11 and 205. So, this is your hubbys' first girl? Boy is he in trouble! Little girls have ways of wrapping dads around their fingers. We know when they are doing it but we just can't resist them! And tell your hubby its' o.k. to roughouse with her--she won't break any faster than the boys. P.S.---Lovey? Have you been talking to my wife? :) | ||

LV, I'll never tell! :)'s Wendy | ||

| Maryann |
Now! Now! :=) | ||
| Breezy |
Allenette, NOW THAT'S FUNNY!!! Wendy PS I just had a thought(surprised?) It's a good thing we're all separated by computers. Boy, turn us all loose in a room together and *WHEW BABY* !!! |
