I enjoyed reading about Sue Doe-Nims waxing woes. I have never had that done. Does that make me wrong?

Response from the proprietors of Manifest Density....I don't link to you anymore? I know I used to...hmmm. I will rectify the situation, althought a link from my ghost town of a blog isn't worth a whole lot...

So that's what a timeshare is! I always wondered...

Why'd you renew? I'm just asking.

floridian: It's not my timeshare, but that "member of my family" that I mentioned. I just helped him do the transaction.

A ways back my wife and I went to Vegas for a presentation. 3 night all expenses paid trip just to listen to them yap. It was a total sham and the prices were insane. After about 5 min we got up to leave. They nearly blocked the door. I whispered to one of them, "I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and I'm--" He jumped out of my way, swung the door open, and swept his hand towards the hallway outside as if to say, "Thanks for coming, and have a lovely day!" We haplessly strolled out.. and had a fun weekend in Vegas.

I think that was the same weekend we saw Pete Rose (yes, the disgraced baseball legend), sitting in a BOOTH on the Vegas strip signing autographs for $50 a pop. The guy was one of my favs as a kid. He seemed affable enough. I quipped, "Of all the places you could be, you chose Vegas, huh? Why am I not surprised?" He chuckled and signed another baseball for someone. He then deadpanned me and motioned toward my wife, "Is that your girlfriend? She's cute."

I can't make this stuff up.

Thanks for the funny blog.

You're so right!!!!

We have two timeshares, one in Cabo and one in Maui. We paid Way too friggin much for our Maui one. I look online now and see it's selling for half what we paid. Plus the maitenance fees for both are due in January, you know, right after we've spent all our money on our families for Christmas. I don't know what we were thinking.
