GALS Club Newsletter, Volume III, Number III

Hello to All who need to Get-A-Life-Soon!

I'll tell y'all what...the mouse pad makes a great pin cushion!

Linhda got a life last week. She gave birth to a 7lb 6oz girl, named her Melissa. We already knew it would be a girl, we just didn't think the baby would be that big, what with her being born so soon after the wedding.

Kris and Al have been busy decorating their new house. At this writing, their spare bedroom should be complete, and they've invited "anybody" to stay there. Come on gang, let's go south for the rest of the winter.

Jen is considering putting up a reward for imformation leading to the source of a note she received. It was made up of letters cut out of a magazine and glued to a piece of paper. It read..."STAY AWAY FROM MY HUSBAND! AND HIS FRIEND IS MARRIED TOO!" She has a few ideas, but would like to know for sure who sent it, for obvious reasons.

CoffeyMate was overheard bragging about how well her favorite silk shirt was holding up through years of abusive laundering. Jinx. For the very next washing turned it to shreds.

Nikki has decided that the new guys at her work place can stay. They are nice and willing to help, unlike the others in the past. So she's not gonna run them off, as she's famous for. Besides, they're cute.

CORRECTION-----

In the last issue of this newsletter we mistakenly wrote that Little Joe had a basketball backboard fall on and shatter the windshield of his new car. What we should have said...It is a Toyota Tacoma 4-wheel drive pick-up truck. As an added note, the repair people made a "house call" to fix it.

REPLIES-----

• Robby...What am I doing now?
• Phil (aka Earth-to-Phil, Phil..uh..Nevermind, and FIL)...Do you think you can control your staff?
• Redneck...Like I have any say-so who you invite.

SOME WEDDING TRIVIA---

• The word "bridal" comes from "bride-ale", from the fact that on her wedding day the bride and her family were permitted to sell ale especially made for the occasion.
• From earliest times the symbol of domestic authority has been the shoe. In Anglo-Saxon marriages, the father, to demonstrate transfer of authority over his daughter from himself to the groom, took a shoe off the bride's foot and handed it to the groom. Upon receiving the shoe, the groom became the bride's owner and master. To show his acquisition of authority, he tapped the bride lightly on the head with the shoe.
• The word "honeymoon" comes from the Germans, who drank mead, or metheglin - a beverage made from honey - for 30 days after the wedding.
• Today the bride's bouquet is made of flowers. Once it was a combination of garlic, chives, rosemary, bay, and other strong and potent herbs, all carefully selected for their special protective power against witches and demons.
• Some learned authorities declare that the honeymoon is a survival of the primal marriage by capture, when the original caveman kept his wife in retirement to prevent her from appealing to her relatives for aid.
