Husband: Oh, come on.
Wife: Leave me alone!
Husband: It won't take long.
Wife: I won't be able to sleep afterwards.
Husband: I can't sleep without it.
Wife: Why do you think of things like this in the middle of the night?
Husband: Because I'm Hot.
Wife: You get hot at the darnedest times.
Husband: If you love me I wouldn't have to beg you.
Wife: If you love me you'd be more considerate.
Husband: You don't love me anymore.
Wife: Yes I do, but let's forget it for tonight.
Husband: Please...come on
Wife: Alright, I'll do it.
Husband: What's the matter? Need a flashlight?
Wife: I can't find it.
Husband: Oh, for heaven's sake, feel for it!
Wife: There! Are you satisfied?
Husband: Oh, yes.
Wife: Is it up far enough?
Husband: Oh, that's good.
Wife: Now go to sleep and from now on when you want the window open, do it yourself |

Guru,
Do you think that the time is now opportune for some incantations to call the Captain?
P.S.
Guru,
The post below was excellent. I tried to reply to it but the reply window would not open!

Kadavul and i mean it!
I am not being sensitive, it so happens that I am a stepfather.
i knew you were a nalla podiyan but this requires a bit more courage. hats off to you my man.
i wouldve forwarded the same email that ananda did without thinking twice. as said before it was a joke and nothing to hurt anyone. pardon our ignorance.
there is a difference between half brother and step brother
as for the captain cool maybe she is enjoying the victory or BOWLED over! |

The Price of Children
This is just too good not to pass on to all. This is something absolutely positive for a change. I have repeatedly seen the breakdown
of the cost of raising a child, but this is the first time I have seen the rewards listed this way. It's nice. The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140.00 for a middle income family. Talk about sticker shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition. But $160,140.00 isn't so bad if you break it down.
It translates into:
* $8,896.66 a year,
* $741.38 a month, or
* $171.08 a week.
* That's a mere $24.24 a day!
* Just over a dollar an hour.
Still, you might think the best financial advice is don't have children
if you want to be 'rich.' Actually, it is just the opposite.
What do you get for your $160,140.00?
* Naming rights. First, middle, and last!
* Glimpses of God every day.
* Giggles under the covers every night.
* More love than your heart can hold.
* Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.
* Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
* A hand to hold, usually covered with jelly or chocolate.
* A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites
* Someone to laugh yourself silly with, no matter what the boss said or how your stocks performed that day.
For $160,140.00, you never have to grow up. You get to:
* finger-paint,
* carve pumpkins,
* play hide-and-seek,
* catch lightning bugs, and
* never stop believing in Santa Claus.
You have an excuse to:
* keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh,
* watching Saturday morning cartoons,
* going to Disney movies, and
* wishing on stars.
* You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets and collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand prints set in clay on Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters for Father's Day.
For a mere $24.24 a day, there is no greater bang for your buck. You get to be a hero just for:
* retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof,
* taking the training wheels off a bike,
* removing a splinter,
* filling a wading pool,
* coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.
You get a front row seat to history to witness the:
* first step,
* first word,
* first bra,
* first date, and
* first time behind the wheel.
You get to be immortal. You get another branch added to your family tree, and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called
grandchildren and great grandchildren.
You get an education in: psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human intimacyuality that no college can match.
In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there under God. You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed,
patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits, So, love without counting the cost.
That is quite a deal for the price!
Love & enjoy your children & grandchildren!
The best investment you'll make.
P.S if you dont have kids not to worry. peaceful vacations can be had i am told!!

Hi All,
I am afraid I'll have to take a few weeks sabbatical from LN, becuase of work, work and more work. Hope that hon. selector will select a new skipper-or at least someone to do the 'acting'. Btw, let's clear the confusion abt Prince-come on guys, there can be two ppl with the same name... so let's give him a break :-))
Bonggo,
It takes a lot to be a step parent. And what you wrote was awesome. To accept and love someone else's child as your own is one of the greatest test for any human being.
For that, I salute you.
TC,
BOWLED OVER,yes. But just by work. If that isn't an anti-climax, what is? :-))
Kamani,
Great to see your 'Kokilawi' skills. keep it up :-))
adieu, guys and girls.

Sometimes kids can be just too perceptive. read on :-)
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids)
(1) You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you
like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should
keep the chips and dip coming.
- Alan, age 10 (thinks of everything)
(2) No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to
marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're
stuck with.
- Kristen, age 10 (very optimistic)
WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
(1) Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by
then.
- Camille, age 10 (will have to live and learn)
(2) No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get
married.
- Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)
HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
(1) You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling
at the same kids.
- Derrick, age 8 (observant?)
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
(1) Both don't want any more kids.
- Lori, age 8 (too much eavesdropping)
WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
(1) Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know
each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)
(2) On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that Usually
gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
- Martin, age 10 (Who said boys do not have brains)
WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
(1) I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the
newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-Craig, age 9
WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
(1) When they're rich.
- Pam, age 7 (The ?super woman? in the making)
(2) The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess
with that. - Curt, age 7 (Good Point)
(3 ) The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should
marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
- Howard, age 8 (Who made the rule)
HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
(1 ) There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
- Kelvin, age 8
And the #1 Favourite is........
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
(1 ) Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a
truck.
- Ricky, age 10 (The ?male chauvinist? in the making, good luck kid!) |

Hi Captain,
It was so nice to see you to see you nice :)
Cummon, one month's absence is too long. Even with all that busy schedule you should be able make one appearance every other day :)
Thanks for the kids' observations.
Thanks for clearing the matter on Prince as well.
