It sounds like ancient
history now to speak of AOL Chat rooms. I have not been on AOL since losing the
cheap $3.00 a month dial up connection which was a company benefit. That was
about 10 years ago.
Morning Kawfee was a
favourite AOL room of mine to visit. It was not a pick up sex room as most of those
old AOL rooms were. Instead, it was older guys dishing and communicating in the
pre-facebook/twitter era. The chats that transpired back in the day.
It was in the late 1990’s;
Jon from the room sent me this hysterical XMAS vanity letter. I’ve sent this to
more friends over the years. I had to change a date or two, but it really is
timeless.
Dear Friends:
What a wonderful year we have
had! Bob was named Vice President of the
bank, so we celebrated by buying a MERCEDES and taking a trip to the
ORIENT. In addition to his Boy Scout
work, Bob served as Chairman of the United
Fund Drive
After completing my term as
Junior League President, I swore I would take life easy, but it seems I am more
involved than ever. I accepted the Vice
Presidency of the Garden Club and am still very active in the DAR. Our church organist became ill and they asked
me to substitute, so I accepted. I ran
the rummage sale again this year and managed to take a course in flower
arranging and cake decorating.
Little Latwanda was elected
class president and won letters in volleyball and basketball. She is on the all-state debate team and
placed second in the National Oratory contest last May. She has already been accepted by
Harvard. She has sure grown the last few
years and has turned out to be a gorgeous young lady. We are very proud of her and her dedication
for work with the Homeless Shelter at the same time tutoring young people and
attending finishing school. Of course
for Christmas she has asked for a new Corvette but we are hesitant to give her
everything she wants so we bought her a 2012.
In early October we lost
Bob's mother. For the last 5 days of her
life I set with her never leaving her side and controlling her visitors and
working closely getting her affairs in order.
Being appointed her Power of Attorney is sure a Godsend and makes things
so much easier. Well after 5 days she
passed away and boy did Bob get a surprise when her will was read. We got EVERYTHING but I did give my sister in
law a real nice cabinet that sits above the toilet and that nice set of Melmac
which did include the sugar and creamer.
I thought that was fair enough.
You know me; I like to keep harmony in the family. I had to laugh, Bob said we should just
invest all the money we inherited and just live on the interest.
Well I hope you all have a
wonderful Holiday and a great 2015. We leave in January for a 6 week well earned
vacation in Europe .
Again, MERRY CHRISTMAS
PS - Crazy me. I forgot to ask how your year
went. Keep in touch but don't call until
we return from Europe because I am sure I will
have lots of stories to relate to you since you have never traveled abroad.
