Introductions thanks to 20/20...lurkers welcome

[Michael]

Kath-you don't know me very well. I wouldn't hate that at all!!!! Nothing wrong with a cruise ship. No rowing will leave you guys pelnty of time for those male strippers.........LOL!!!!!!!!

[Kathleen]

OH.... Michael....

I knew you would not mind!!!!

well only if we expected you to carry our luggage and haul all the heavy stuff.... Like a gallon of #45 sun screen for me....none for you guys who tan....LOL...

Kath

[Stephanie]

Kath,

Would you mind sharing some of that sunscreen?
I am the only Italian I know that burns, peels, and fades back to her original shade of "pale" in the summer!! And I am mostly Sicilian...go figure...LOL!
Hmmm...this has me thinking...a mediteranian cruise would be a nice choice for us, and I could finally see my "homeland,"...but most important of all, as we've already mentioned, this is where we are stopping for the WINE!!!

[Judy-T]

Hey, Do you think we should call up one of the cruise lines and ask for an "erbs" discount. lol

[Kathleen]

Erb's discount would be good!!! Judy can you check in to that?????...

Can we get it sponsored by some big name celeb... like a Telethon???? won't have to worry where the money goes...!!! It will go straight to us... and our trip around the world... we could pick up bpi... in every port....

Steff... The Wine country is a must.... hmmmmm the food is good too... and they have lots of chocolate...

OK I will share my sunscreen...but to go there I need two gallons....
Kath

[Michael]

Wouldn't mind hauling the heavy stuff at all. A crusie back to the "Homeland" sounds good, eh Stephanooch???

Love to cook. Would any of you ladies mind if I prepared some home made Italian? Just make sure there's plenty of wine!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sharon]

I wanna go with ya all too. I can't row very long at a time, so maybe that cruise ship might be the answer.

Sharon here, 54 years (almost 55) left obpi. Steff, please quit saying a half century, I may feel that old but I still don't look it, and I act older LOL.

I can't imagine only one male among all us gals. Boy will he have it made. Just like going to heaven. LOL

I'm glad to see several mothers who read and respond on this board.

If I go cruising I have to find a dog sitter for Katie. Ever see a part lab dog that does not like water???? I got one.
Later Sharon

[Stephanie]

Sharon, I sit next to a fellow at work who's mom is a "dog-sitter." Unfortunately, the farthest she will travel is north Jersey!
As far as what I said about not finding another OBPI to talk to for half a century...well, I AM THE DRAMA QUEEN and simply can't express myself any other way!!! LOL!!!
Michael, did you learn to cook from watching mama and grandmom or are you, like my husband, watching way too much "Malto Mario" on the cooking channel? Either way, you can do all the cookin' you want....call us in from the deck when it's ready! LOL!
