Hi! We want to do an exercise map challenge. WE NEED MORE PARTICIPANTS OR THOSE OF US DOING IT ARE GOING TO TAKE 4 YEARS TO GET TO EACH OTHER!

Here's what I need from you guys....

1. drop me a line to ms_wings77@comcast.net and tell me where you live. If you don't want to tell me where you live, name a town in the general area. For example, if I thought there was a possibility there was a serial axe murderer among you I'd say I live in Grand Detour, which is near where I live, but I actually live in Dixon. That way when it's my turn to hostess I could tell you about the area and still be honest.

Pretty easy huh? I promise not to sell any information to telemarketer's. Cross my heart!

2. We'll have the exercise post as usual, but I will be tallying minutes exercised each week. Each exercise minute equals one "mile" as we make our way from house to house of participants. When we arrive at a place the hostess tells us about herself, her family, her area, interesting tidbits, historical info- whatever she wants, etc. I'll even go first if you want! THIS IS FUN! TRUST ME!

But so far only a couple of people have wanted to hostess. (insert collective gasp) Share the love, people! You know you want cyber-visitors! You don't even have to dust!

Hope to hear from you guys soon- those who've already sent me the emails- GOOD JOB!

This challenge begins Monday, April 12th. We will start in Dixon, IL, (so I can show you how truly painless this is) and get moving!

Hugs to all!

Dear April (letter from Rob)

We will be as accomodating as we can.

Toilet paper- Rob works hard and enjoys his money. He does not enjoy spending it. We do not buy toilet paper. He slaves at work, so he figures taking the brown paper towels provided in the restroom is acceptable.

Milk- We have vitamin D milk. Add water.

Pine-sol- PIne sol is expensive. We clean with bulk ammonia. Good for the lungs.

Ammonia is not dyed or perfumed. We use it for laundry as well.

Rob's a cheap skate. he will put a milk-bone under the bed so the dog will lay next to the bed. She makes a passable rug.

No fireplace. However, we do have a bit of a history with fire. You have insurance? Yikes.

Enjoy your stay,

Rob

LMAO! He cracked up at your post! And don't worry- we're really much more hospitable than all that.

Hugs

Mel

The funniest part- Rob dictated that and I typed it for him. He has such a funny sense of humor.
