Wanna Make Friends?
My blabbermouth son mentioned to a neighbor that I might be considering
going on a cruise. Well, in a 24 hour period a little less, have had seven, count them, 7 neighbor ladies at my door. Neighborly "Hear you are going on a cruise." Me: "Maybe." Neighbor: "Well since you will probably have to hire someone to go with you, I would like to be considered for the job." Me: "You don't even know the cost, why would you volunteer yet/" Neighbor: "Well, ah, as you would have to hire someone I would assume you would be picking up the cost." Me: "Well, if I were picking up the cost, you are the wrong gender." Thus ended the conversation! I can get around by myself and, once I go someplace can get back. I figure there are enough of you who know me if you saw me heading for the gangplank in the middle of the ocean you would stop me. (Then maybe NOT) Just made me madder than all get out. |

I only said the gender thing because I was mad. I have several good friends
who would be willing to go with me. I was mad because these were the same women who had made me feel less than human. I wouldn't go with the men they tried to throw at me. I didn't dress as they do in the sweat pants and such. The ones who swore I was, never mind, you get the idea. They just made me feel all things I had fought for all my life in fact, to do for myself were useless. "Kyla =^..^=" wrote in message . .. 7 ladies???

I just lived through a lecture from Lee about how I missed the boat on how
much fun I could have had with this. Almost word for word what you said. She will love this post!!! "hopitus" wrote in message ...

Hey, from what you relate about these "neighbors" I would've been mad too. But considering the source, as they say, I would have had a lot more fun with them. If they are stupid enough I might have been able to make each one believe *she* was the chosen one, sworn to secrecy from the others, and have them all packed up and hot to go while I left in middle of night with friend. But....you are probably a much sweeter person than me and would never think up such a scheme, huh? Then again, you might really care what they think of you....I am positive rpca friends would take you under their wings on the cruise and see to it you have a good time. |

This would be funny if it weren't such a sad commentary on those trying to get something for nothing. While I didn't notice anyone with vision problems on our last cruise, there were plenty of guests with mobility issues. I would think a cruise ship could be ideal for someone with limited vision. Once you get the hang of it, everything pretty much stays put for your whole vacation. I did pass on my sleeping medication for the duration. I sleep walk sometimes when I'm taking it, and an ocean balcony didn't seem a good mix with that. Then again I sleep well on a cruise anyway, Jo |

You got it right. Of all the vacations that seems to be the easiest. The
most I might is move their furniture around a bit. Doesn't seem a problem for me, just these stupid people. I would like to see how they would pack, all new sweat suits and white tennis shoes! There is nothing wrong with these clothes but---when that is all you wear----ever! "Jo Firey" wrote in message ... "Granby" wrote in message ...

Dunno what I'll have to do to get there, but Granby, I reckon if I was there we could put on such a show that no one and I mean no-one would dare bad mouth you again. Yowie scheming furiously |
