I just spent four hours in the car with my parents and two small children!

[JimmyJazz]

Somebody pamper me, please.

[JohnKleeb]

1. not unless you help me first

Sounds like a drag though, why were you in the car with the kids and the folks for four hours?

[JimmyJazz]

5. We went to Bethany to rent a beach house for vacation in the summer.

It's really a cool house, but it was cold and windy and there wasn't much for the kids to do.

[JohnKleeb]

7. Yeah that part of Delaware isnt so exciting during the winter

Sounds cool btw. Gonna PM you something about Delaware that I dont want public on the boards.

[JimmyJazz]

11. Thanks, JK -

:hi:

[JohnKleeb]

19. Your Welcome

I still feel a little down but its a mixture of things now.

[GOPisEvil]

2. Ooooohhh...that sounds perfectly lovely.

:sarcasm:

Here's a dancing banana to make you feel better:

[JimmyJazz]

6. I need a more chipper banana than that - did I say 4 hours????

[GOPisEvil]

15. Have several more bananas!

[JimmyJazz]

22. Now you're talking!

:D

[GOPisEvil]

27. They're more fun than a barrel full of...

[JimmyJazz]

29. A little bored today, David?

:o

[GOPisEvil]

32. Yeah, but I had a really fun weekend.

I'm entitled to some boredom.

I had to wear a suit yesterday! :o

[stanwyck]

3. I'm making you a drink right now

and getting the jacuzzi nice and hot. Climb in and lie back. I'll also roll one for you if you'd like.

[JimmyJazz]

8. I love you.

[MuseRider]

4. Have a seat,

put your feet up. Here is a beer now lean back and I will rub your forehead. Cool cloth? Sure. Quiet music? "Search For Peace" McCoy Tyner. Feeling better? Good, I will start your dinner.

You have no idea how many times I wished for that myself. Enjoy your cyber pamper.

[JimmyJazz]

9. It sounds wonderful, except for the beer.

I don't drink beer :(

[MuseRider]

13. Sorry.

Your choice of beverage then.

[JimmyJazz]

16. one of these:

and, will you make me this for dinner?

[trof]

23. Are you sure you're old enough for those?

Martinis=Fightin' Whiskey

[JimmyJazz]

31. Hello, New Best Friend!

Barely, but don't tell anyone. :)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

10. You poor thing!

:hug:

That would send me over the edge...

[JimmyJazz]

14. Did I mention that there were 2 restaurants involved????

Not one, two. :o

[candy]

12. Been there,done that---Some experiences you never forget!

AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

[JimmyJazz]

18. Oy - try explaining to two little guys why they can't swim in the ocean

when it's 50 degrees outside! Oh, but they tried anyway :)

[candy]

25. Lucky you-they sound like good,normal,healthy boys!

[JimmyJazz]

44. They are girls. But, I did refer to them as little "guys" so

the confusion is totally my fault. I'm sorry.

[candy]

65. Lol! I raised 2 girls and 3 boys and sometimes------

the girls were wilder than the boys.

I have 3 grandaughters and 3 grandsons and a couple of those girls could give any boy a run for their money.

Enjoy them,they sound delightful.

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. *hugs* I have been there and done that *lol*.. and in all honesty

would be willing to do that again if it would give me my mom back.

So, what was good about the trip? :)

[JimmyJazz]

21. It was about getting a house for a week at the beach.

I try not to complain because I know there are people like you here who have lost parents and children, but I'm just exhausted - trying to get all of us to agree on a house and which amenities best suit our needs. The kids loved one that I hated! I loved the most expensive one....and so on and so on.... :hi:

Thanks for letting me rant.

[GreenPartyVoter]

26. Oh, hey! I can rant about parents with the best of them. *g* Still, all

in all... I'd be willing to have the annoyance in my life again.

Since this trip was about getting the house.. does that mean the actual week-long trip hasn't happened yet?

[JimmyJazz]

28. We got a house - We'll be there the last week in June.

It was very late to start looking for rental properties, but we managed. Plus, I admit - it was nice to see the ocean again, if only briefly.

[GreenPartyVoter]

33. I won't tell you that I can walk 2 miles to the ocean any time I want. but

Though the trade-off is that we live in a cramped mobile home so we can afford to live here. :) But you should SEE some of the million dollar homes around here. Mind-bogglingly gorgeous.

[Arkana]

20. And you haven't gone insane?

Wow.

[JimmyJazz]

24. Oh, sweetie - I went insane ages ago.

It's a survival technique - :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

30. Holy crap.

Poor thing.

[JimmyJazz]

36. Meh - I consider it a prelude to spending the weekend with

you and progmom :D

[RevolutionaryActs]

39. BWHAHA!

:rofl:


At least you won't have me in the car on the way to Boston. :o

[JimmyJazz]

45. If progmom thinks I'm stopping at every rest stop on I-95

she'd better get that idea out of her head right now. I only stop when I have to use the bathroom - it is all about me after all.

[RevolutionaryActs]

54. But...

What if she really, really has to go? :P

[lastknowngood]

34. are we there yet?

n/t

[JimmyJazz]

38. THIS IS TAKING FOREVER!

:D

[xmas74]

35. How long did it take for you to crack?

[JimmyJazz]

41. A beer?

About 2 seconds after I got in the house.


(this would have been better had I not admitted earlier in the thread that I don't drink beer) :o

[xmas74]

42. No child or parental abuse?

I would have lost it long before making it to the house.

[texas1928]

37. Oh Brother four hours int he car with you?

:eyes:



:P


Sounds like fun, would like to take a vacation like that.

[JimmyJazz]

40. Yes, I think I drove everyone absolutely insane. Especially when I

made my dad stop every 5 miles because I hadda go potty :P

[texas1928]

43. If you had been with me.

HOLD IT!!!



:P

[Magrittes Pipe]

46. Over Christmas, I spent 13 hours in the car with 2 small children...

...then I spent the next week at my mom's house. A week during which my grandma died. Then, after the funeral, I spent 8 hours in the car with 2 small children (there was a snow storm on the way down).

[texas1928]

47. So you want to have kids now.

Right?

[Magrittes Pipe]

50. I think I'm stuck with them now.

Works for me. :loveya:

[texas1928]

53. Well that is cool.

Kids are a blast.

[Magrittes Pipe]

55. These ones sure are.

[JimmyJazz]

48. Which explains the pic in your sig line!

:)

[Magrittes Pipe]

51. I loved shite beer long before I loved those kids, dear JJ.

:)

[MrSandman]

49. Two words...

Benadryl
dramamine

[JimmyJazz]

57. For them, right?

:hi:

[MrSandman]

58. It does do wonders for car sickness and noise...nt

[MrScorpio]

52. If you need a foot massage

You know who to see

[JimmyJazz]

56. Ha - I just posted to your pic in the other thread. And, yes

please :D

[Nikia]

59. Take a deep breath

And relax. I am glad you survived the trip alright. I hope that you have lots of fun when you go there again for vacation.

[JimmyJazz]

60. Thanks. I'm sure we will. It usually is a lot of fun and, as the kids

get older, having them play on the beach gets soooo much easier. I think last year, I actually got to sit in a chair for a little while. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

61. Hey there, JJ,

Last night, you were dishing out the good thoughts to all of us; tonight it's our turn! Here's some hugs for you::hug: :hug: And some love, too::loveya: Hope you get a good night's sleep and feel really good about your house-hunting trip! I think you will have a fantastic time in the end of June...Sounds wonderful!

:pals:

:hi:

[JimmyJazz]

62. Thank you sooo much.

I'm sure it will be a terrific trip. I know that it's hard for the girls to be in the car that long, too - I was a little stressed, but I'm feeling better now. Thank you.

[FuzzySlippers]

63. I just got my tranq scrip refilled on Friday.

I'll send you some. Check you inbox. *snarf*

[JimmyJazz]

64. and you'll lend me a pair of those fuzzy slippers of yours?

:D
