Hi Bill - Actually, I've never been stationed on a ship, thank goodness!! I get seasick. I have been onboard several while they were in port for a visit, however. Sorry to disappoint, but I don't have a tatoo, don't drink coffee, don't smoke, don't swear "like a Sailor", etc. So much for the stereotypes!! Actually, most people don't believe me when I tell them I was active duty Navy and have been in the Reserves for 18 years.

LadyM,<P>No disappointment. I pretty much blow off any macho army male stereotypes myself. Although I do enjoy coffee. 8 years active/reserve, then I got the hell outta Dodge. No really I mean it I moved from Dodge City.<P>Boyz 3 Girlz 2<P>WWWWHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!<P>------------------<BR>Love, Bill<P>-There are none so blind as those who refuse to see!-<BR>-Stand up and do the right thing, even if your standing alone.-

Is Dodge City in Kansas? I'm from the Midwest originally - St. Louis, MO. Have been in Virginia Beach so long that I am now a bonafide Virginian!

LH - my, my aren't you stuck in "naughty" mode... <P>Sorry 'bout my time out from the big game...but I was getting tan lines I didn't like and I had to go change swim suits...then there was this nice guy in line at the concession stand...I <B><I>HAD</B></I> to stop and chat <P>What's the score now? Girlz 4, boys 2? Sounds about right...Jump serve coming down the line <P>Lisa<P>------------------<BR>I am woman...hear me roar...okay - meow...okay - purr? Hey, I'm working on it.

Not to get to picky but I believe the score was Boyz 3 Girlz 2 . Side Out!!!! That serve was way off. Went in the direction of that nice guy though . Do you want to go get it or shall I? <P>Best thang about tan lines is that I only notice them when someone’s naked. <P>My, I am stuck in naughty mode, guess lack of a partner does that.<BR><p>[This message has been edited by LostHusband (edited May 31, 2001).]

Once again Bill is standing all alone on the v-ball court. I'm actually tired of looking at the babes, so I whip it out and start playing . My gameboy you fool, what the heck did you think I was talking about? <P>boyz 4 - girlz 2<P>SSSSSMMMMMMAAAAAACCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK

Oh Nick, Don;t tease hunny it is not nice. <BR>Ok I'm back in this game. Kind of got side tracked. hehe<BR>Nick and Bill here it comes. WWWWWWaaaaaaacccckkkkkkkkkk!!!<BR>Nice over hand serve boyz eh. <P>Bill don't get a cramp in that elbow of yours for the alternative of watching the babes.;wink<P>Lisa let's kick butt! <P>Girls 3 Boys 3 <P>Just an update. I got my apartment. Me myself and my angel!<BR>I am very excited.<P>No Bill and Nick not like that. <P>Boy you guys are in perv mode geez!!!!!!!!<P>Wishing us all well<BR>..........JJ............

Gee Wizzz.... I've been missing all the fun! <P>Bill, I've got a first aid kit with a sling if ya need it . And bandaids with little kissy lips on them.<P>Ok, so, I know JJ is going to be my roomie for a few days... any one else want to split the cost of a room? And how long is everyone staying? I'm working on getting there Friday, but I might only make it as far as Baltimore... how long of a drive is it from Baltimore to VA Beach??? Anyone know? I might just rent a car and drive down... it's gonna cost almost $500 to fly from Balt to VAB. Ouch!<P><B>15 days and counting!!!!!</B><P>Smooches,<BR>Busty<P><BR>OH.......... and it's my serve again......<BR><B>WHACKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!</B> Overhand smack right at Nick...

Depending on the time of day & traffic, BWI down to the beach should run around 4 hours. I've made it in 3 hours & 20 minutes, but it was off peak and Skootz & I were rather casual about speed limits... (hey, it's I-<B><I>"95"</I></B>, right?) <P>I've got my son that week & an execise going on, but I'm going to try and get down meet everyone sometime on the 22nd or 23rd. Is anyone bringing kids?<P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain <BR>and makes the sun come out again<p>[This message has been edited by c00ker (edited June 07, 2001).]

I'd just like you all to know I am pouting...a lot...cause I can't be there and meet everybody...woe is me <P>Lisa<P>------------------<BR>I am woman...hear me roar...okay - meow...okay - purr? Hey, I'm working on it.

Ok everyone! I'm gonna definately be there. I'm gonna be in a different hotel but I'll be just down the beach. YIPPEE!!!<P>I'll be there from the 25th-30th. <P>Nick, I'm bringing my whole tribe! AND a sitter! We could get my 3 boys together with your son sometime that week! <P>I'm getting my gear packed!<P>Mitzi

OK, the little rat & I are going to ride down to the oceanfront on Sunday. Are you all going to be congregated around a central location? Boat drinks? Distraught women lamenting their V-ball humiliation? I'll just keep an eye out for the cops <P>Anyhow, I'm looking forward to meeting you guys, Now, do we have a complete list of attendees? Need any groundwork done? Skootz & I have been scouting the oceanfront faithfully. It's still there <P>Let me know if you need any assistance from a local...<P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain <BR>and makes the sun come out again

Hey all:<BR>Just to update you all. I will not be going to Va. with all of you. I just moved and my money is really tight right now.<BR> I really was looking forward to going. Im so sorry Dawnetta. Maybe next time you all get together. I will be able to join you. Some things were just meant to be. And regretfully this wasn't for me. So all of you have a great time. I will be thinking about yas. You can count on it. Girls kick butt in Vball for me. I expect full details and pics. Again have a great time. And I'm very sorry that I will not be going. <P>.........JJ............

JJ, <BR>No fair... you can't just back out now Pouting.<BR>But, I understand the money thing... I thought about canceling too... but I need this time away.<P>Mitz... Is that hotel cheaper??? I don't have a roomie anymore, and I could use some cut rates... I'll have a little economy car while I'm there, so transport won't be a problem. <P>Do you believe it's cheaper to rent a car for 9 days than it is to hop a commuter flight from Baltimore to VA Beach? Anyhoo... I guess I can make the hotel thing work, but I might be begging left overs from everyone for lunch and dinner... or packing my fishing pole and catching my own! LOL LOL...<P>Seriously... anyone want to double up on a room? I don't snore too loud, and I'll bring you some ear plugs .<P>I should be at the hotel sometime around 9 or 10 PM on Friday... depending on trafic coming out of Baltimore. YUCK.... I have to be at the airport here at 6 AM. Oh well.. just let me sleep in a little on Saturday & I'll be ready to hit the beach!<P>Well, I've got to get back to work... so I don't have to bring any with me. LOL<P>See ya'll on FRIDAY!!!! <BR>Smooches,<BR>Busty<P>PS ~ Are we planning anything that I might need something dressy for? I'm bringing 4 swimsuits, a towel and some shorts.... unless I need more.

Hey Dawnetta!<P>God! I need this time away too! Plus I want to meet all of you guys! <P>Hey! About the room, you're more than welcome to bunk with me, the boys and the sitter! I've got 2 queen size beds and a cot. The boys and I don't care where we sleep as long as we have a place to crash. We're only gonna be there to sleep anyway! <P>I'm bringing a couple of dressy outfits just in case we go somewhere nice. Plus some hoochie-mama dresses and shorts! I got the cutest little sundress for almost nothing! <P>Let me know what you wanna do! I'll probably leave Monday by noon and it takes about 6 hours to get there. So don't forget about me!!! <P>Mitzi

Hey, ya'll keep us in the loop on how it goes... who all is going anyhow? Sounds like you'll have great fun!<P>Cheers!<P>------------------<BR><I>As iron sharpens iron, so does one wo/man sharpen another...</I> Prov 27:17
