I swear every other camper has sleep apnea (probably related to the copious amounts of booze consumed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus $20 ea for a shuttle bus pass for the week which runs every 30 minutes from 6:30 to 23:30. I think I'll just let her think she won. And owes me.

Three replies to that - and it would only come from the long time happily married gang: 1. Sheepish grin with downturned eyes: "Someone has to do it..." 2. Old sage look, completely inscrutable reciting old Chinese proverb: "Happy wife, Happy life." 3. Wicked grin: "Consideration has its own set of rewards...."
