Give me a break

[James Chrimes]

I just came back from a week off in florida. Just relaxed and got to meet Stacy ( Big Dog ) Anyways, sometimes a little time off is just what you need to keep going. I went 9 years without a full week off till two years ago and will never do it again. Don't forget to give yourself a break every once in a while. Jim

I agree!
I did the same thing for years - long weekends only. My Pinstriping business was so demanding, I even had a hard time taking off even 1 day.
But you need vacations for mental health!
So how was the weather?

 

[John L]

Right on. and Florida really is a great place to spend that vacation!

 

[Marlene]

lucky you! not only did you get out of this "great" New England weather, but you got to meet Stacy too!

I would love to take a Florida vacation, but I really can't afford it right now. Alas, if I only knew someone that could put me up for a few days

I've got a blow-up mattress you are welcome to any day

And it was such a pleasure meeting you James! So very cool for me to put personalities to the names...

Is there any chance for negotiations there Stacy?

 

[Tim Aucoin]

Aww, I'd love to meet you too Stacy! Oh wait.. I have! :Big Laugh I won't be in Florida again till December when we leave for our Panama Canal cruise from Tampa... not sure if that's near any Signs101'ers.

My beautiful wife & I make an effort to get away at least 3 times a year. Our holiday of choice is cruising. This year, it will only be twice, as we plan to do a lot of camping locally if the snow and cold ever go away! We do have one more booked for next April... we like to plan in advance!

I couldn't agree with you more Jim... you do need that down time to stay healthy and sane in this world!

Ha! You meet me there! There's a gator that I been wanting to wrestle but he's too big for just one bronze stud to yank out of that lake. I was gonna ask OP but I was a little worried what kind of swimsuit he might bring along.

 

[skyhigh]

Now let me wrestle this in my head first.... Wrestle a gator or wrestle with Stacy?

I gotta admit, both sound like a blast.

As for OP (joe), I wouldn't question what kinda suit he would wear....I'd just be thankful if he wore one at all.
I would ask Joe to come along also. We can always use him as a Decoy (or bait). Hey, dive on in there Joe, see if you can coax that thar gator to chase you up onto land. Thats where John & I will take over.

That would be great Stacy! I know we sail on December 3, 2011, but will be coming in on the 2nd. Maybe you could join us for dinner?! I'd love for my wife to meet ya! I'll touch base when we get closer to the trip (argggg... and closer to next winter ) :ROFLMAO: We haven't booked a hotel yet... that will likely happen in the next month or two! Airfare is already taken care of though!
