HSmom Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I know I'm not the only one: My dh says all my computer friends are really old men sitting around in their underwear. When I tell him I want us all to go to GA next year, he's going to roll his eyes and give me 10 reasons why we shouldn't. So let's share techniques and words to use to explain this to our loved ones. - - - - - - - - My Grand Plan is to deveop a cross-country excursion itinerary of all the things we've always wanted to see/show the children. I'll have time and cost roughed out, as well as curriculum for this kids. And, "Oh-by-the-way, since we'll be so close, we could visit Darlene....You know Darlene! She's only the owner of the message board where I spend most of my time, the one where I do the chats...Anyway, a couple of other MrsS members and their husbands will be there around the same time...." Whatdya think? And what are your ideas? Link to comment
WormGuy Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I may be old but I don't sit around in my underwear My bride has made it very clear that she does not want to "camp out". Sooooooooo, we will be staying in a hotel. I want to "camp out" but there is no way I can win this one. I like your plan. Does he hunt or fish, play golf? Maybe there will be some of that nearby that he could do. John Link to comment

Mt_Rider Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 HS....tell DH that Darlene has called for a mandatory face-to-face inspection meeting of her board people. Folks like you who "do the chats", etc. The reason for this very mandatory inspection is to make absolutely sure that you all are NOT OLD MEN SITTING AT THE COMPUTER IN YOUR UNDERWEAR! She has a reputation to uphold, after all!!! MtRider [i'm just leavin' mine home!] Link to comment

Pigzzilla Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 When I told Glenn about this, I told him it is a "reunion" and he is required to bring along his favorite tools. Anything named DeWalt and nails and screws. Okey dokey, he's willing. Now I just have to convince my Dad to let us beg, borrow or rent his motor home. Since "Glenn is having a family reunion"...thats my story anyway!!! Link to comment

It wont help to say that Pixie will go with me. ~Jo Link to comment
Deb2of9 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Okay, being single isn't always a good thing, but since my husband is an ex, I don't have to ask anyone if I can go. Well I do have to check my fiances, see if I can get off work, find someone to watch any animals I have. Find out if my daughter who better be in college then can get off....okay, I guess I am not as free to make my own decisions as I thought. Link to comment
westbrook Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 have your husbands call me! and tell your husbands that yes, I am bringing along my old husband but he doesn't sit around in his underwear either nor does he know how to type! after all these years he is still a one finger one handed typer. If he needs typing done, he asks me to do the typing and he tells me what he wants to say. Tell your husbands they need to come along and bring a hammer!!! Link to comment
mommato3boys Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 DH doesn't know about this yet it is going to be a surprise weekend. I just have to get all of the stuff together and find a hotel. He will know something is up if all of the camping equipment is packed. I just have to get the golf clubs in the car without him seeing them. Then I will husbandnap him, a little wine, a benadryl and he will be out until at least the GA state line Link to comment

Cat Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Well, only to presidential candidates... (1992) Remember 1992, for example, when then-Governor Clinton was asked whether he wore boxers or briefs in an MTV interview. His answer, boxers, was seemingly hip and timely, coming just as a generation of the mildly disillusioned was ditching the restrictive brief of its repressed childhood for the roomier, earthier boxer. http://www.solisstyle.com/solishop/article.../articles_id/20 Link to comment
