Hi everyone...is this the rehab or 12 step program for Wonderland? I was reading through the posts and you all seem to be having sooooo much fun here. Can I join? Although I am only 39...ish

If I can not be one of the dwarfs or Maleficent...who can I be? How about an aggresive Snow White? Besides I am too tall to be a dwarf (5' 9") and I don't have a beard. I do however have short black hair...and I can immitate her voice..."I'm Wishing......"

Lori

NOT what I had in mind. Don't think I'd be very good in the part.
It's not how I wear my hair anyway.

I was only kidding Roger, hope you didn't take that the wrong way.

Lori, you aren't too tall to be a dwarf, majic1 is taller than you.

When will you be 40 btw?

rmelin13 · Post by **rmelin13** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 9:45 pm

I know it M.A.D.

I didn't take it in any way but fun.

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 9:48 pm

I thought not but, just in case.

Things can be said in jest but cause so much trouble, I know because.

I'M ALWAYS IN HOT WATER!

majic1 is taller than you

How do you figure? I'm 5'8" - you should know these things!!!

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 9:51 pm

You are NOT 5'8" !!!!

I have already ordered the ladder for when you meet me at the airport.

I know these witchy things, you are a tall willowy blonde.

She might be on stilts Maureen.

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 9:59 pm

I'll get OG to bring her chainsaw Pauline, that leaves all options open.

That witch just likes causing trouble anyway!

Go look at the description is the Picture Me Comp. Maybe I grew an inch since then - but aren't you supposed to shrink when you get older? I haven't measured myself lately, so maybe I've really shrunk to 5'7".

I literally am turning 39 in 3 weeks...

Does that mean I am not welcome on this message thread

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 10:08 pm

Lori,

I cannot see anyone objecting to the rule being broken this time. 39 is still mature enough.

I wondered when your 40th was because it's a big celebration, you know how we love to party.

Welcome to M.A.W.

rmelin13 · Post by **rmelin13** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 10:10 pm

You mean the 40th was supposed to be a big celebration?

And to think I missed it !

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 10:11 pm

Didn't you get a 50th either Roger?

lgrapes · Post by **lgrapes** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 10:11 pm

Next year I plan on being on a cruise ship somewhere in the Carribean for my 40th!!!!!

Exactly what is this forum for? Is it just to chit-chat about what ever?

rmelin13 · Post by **rmelin13** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 10:13 pm

A bit of a surprise party for the 50th, but nobody jumped out of a cake!

Imagine my disappointment!

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 10:17 pm

Sorry Julie, I'm going off now before there's any more mistakes.

Lori, this will be like the WWI we used to have, talk about anything and everything.
I went on a Caribbean cruise for my 50th, cost a flippin fortune from the UK.

Night all, have fun.

Whisper: There's a nice glass of Rioja waiting for me.

lgrapes · Post by **lgrapes** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 10:19 pm

Actually a cruise costs a flippin fortune from any desitination...although from where you are is most definitely more expensive. But there is nothing like a cruise...the food, the entertainment, the food, the gambling, the food, the sun, the food, the pool, the food, the partying...

Did I mention the food?

popo · Post by **popo** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 4:40 pm

Lori, I'm not being nasty or anything, just expressing my opinion, but why did you think you were eligible for this group when you're not even 39, let alone 40?

Now you're in, you're in, but I wouldn't want anyone else to think it's ok.

You can all start throwing stones at me now. I don't mind, I'm thick skinned. In fact some would say I'm just plain thick.

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 4:49 pm

Nobody will throw stones at you Pauline, I for one admire your forthrightness.

I didn't refuse Lori because it would look petty, I did say 'THIS TIME' btw.

Meaning, it wouldn't be allowed again.

ol'gramma · Post by **ol'gramma** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 4:51 pm

I don't wish to be nasty either, but I agree with Popo.
The age was stated as 40...that's the only point.
Why would you think you are eligible?
Just wondering.
It sounded like you were a few weeks away from 40, but that is not the case.
I'll take the first round Popo

O/G

majic1 · Post by **majic1** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 7:56 pm

Then I will take the second round OG! I have to admit I also agree with Popo - I don't think the rest of us had the guts to speak up at the time. I think everyone here likes Lori; but it was Maureen's original intention that this be for over 40! And actually, if I had MY way, I'd be under 40 and glad I couldn't join this thread yet!

lgrapes · Post by **lgrapes** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 9:14 pm

I thought it might be okay because I thought I saw a post about someone being 27...No biggie...You are all right...it would not be fair for me to be on the thread. I can wait...

But if you all don't mind I am still going to get enjoyment out of the posts that go on here

You all make me giggle and laugh daily

If I see something that I want to respond to I will PM that person.

Thanks anyway everyone...

Lori

popo · Post by **popo** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 9:14 pm

Oh dear. Looks like I started something.

I said I was 27, but it was a joke, I'm really 51. I thought everyone knew that.

rmelin13 · Post by **rmelin13** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 9:28 pm

Popo - 27? I thought you said you were 72!

Oh, never mind. Just my dyslexia kicking in again.

ol'gramma · Post by **ol'gramma** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 9:43 pm

Lori..
You are being most gracious about this, and I respect you for replying so positively.

Enjoy being underage....after 40, the only underage thing is AARP; that's 55.

There is a Penn Dutch saying that goes...
We get too soon old and too late smart.

It is really not a big deal...Like I said just because I can't be a member does not mean that I cannot still enjoy the thread

Have you ever seen the saying:

"My wild oats have turned into shredded wheat"

It is one of my personal favorites. I gave my mother a sweatshirt with this saying and she just looked at me...I don't think she was happy about it...

Cat · Post by **Cat** » Mon Jan 31, 2005 12:47 am

Igrapes asked?

Then Mad said,

Lori,

Welcome to M.A.W.

Usualy I sit back and don't voice my opinion, Igrapes asked and she was never honest about her age. sure she could of lied just to get involved in the MAW! Mad didn't have a problem of joining us after all she started this thread.

And even after the objection because she wasn't 40 and over, she stepped down gracefully. I think that should allow some merit and that she should be able to join.

Plus I also understand the point that if we let one join that is 39 then others will want to join and at the same time it would be wrong to allow Igrapes to join and the others not get to. and we have to draw the line somewhere.

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Mon Jan 31, 2005 7:27 am

Lori,

Thank you for taking all this with grace and dignity, you will be eligible to join soon enough, don't rush it though.

Hope you enjoy looking in and having a laugh at our antics, feel free to send any of us a PM with your views. Good luck.

Welcome Cat, nice to see you joining our group.

Now folks, can we get back to being totally crazy?????

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Mon Jan 31, 2005 9:24 am

I qualify as to age (55) but unfortunately I'm still beset with teenage tantrums, school and college work etc.

I started being a parent relatively late in life. Most people my age would be grandparents by now, so I guess I don't qualify to join MAW.

Great idea though.
