Some funny lessons learned at the Mid-Atlantic reunion

Wow, I really enjoyed the reunion but I was tasked to post some of the funny lessons learned from this reunion--and you know of all people---ME?
Anyway, I truly had a wonderful time with the nightingales re-connecting, bonding, reminiscing, laughing, screaming and learning new things about where we are in our journey in life, our career, our ups and downs, our past, our children, health, beauty, marriage, menopause, scrapbooking, and the three letter word that starts w/ s-- (if you know what I mean):):):)Ha,ha,ha,ha....

Veron Orpilla taught us scrapbooking. We stayed up till 3am to do the Class 78 scrapbook. It was the first for me, Lele, and Mey, the rest, I believe have done this before... According to our instructor/"therapist", we all did a good job! Ray, Mey's husband said we all look like his creative therapy patients in the nursing home. He does not mean that we are "old and senior" but he meant his patients doing creative therapy..Ha,ha,ha,ha...

Rachel Evangelista taught us how many times we need to do s--(if you know what I mean) per week. She said we have to do IT 3x per week so we will stay fit and healthy. She also said we need to exercise the "muscles" involve in s-- to keep "these muscles" healthy just like how we exercise our heart muscles when we walk, jog or run...True! Ha, ha, ha, ha...Ang loko talaga ni Rachel!!!

We also learned instead of shouting "1, 2, 3, CHEESE!!" on pictorials, we should shout, "1,2,3 --times a week", taught to us by Ray, Mey's hubby.

Mahgene Pasion who is a Urology Nurse taught us sign language:
V- for Viagra
C- for Cialis
L -for Levitra

We also learned that husbands can be macho, sansui but tigasin:
Macho--- macho-nurin
Sansui --- 'sang sutsot, uwi
Tigasin--- tiga-saing, tiga-laba, tiga-linis

LOL!!!! Did I miss anything, Mid-Atlantic Nightingales?

Okay now, my advice to all the nightingales: As we are exposed to a lot of things in life, we have to be open and as my husband said: "You have to learn to just pick the meat and throw all the bones".....
Ciao for now.....

That was great, Ruth. Thanks!

Rachel said...

Yes, I agree let us just keep on focusing on the meat and throw the bones out. I like that.

Ruth, I really enjoyed your Maryland crabs. Veron took a funny picture of me eating crabs but I told her not to post it. So not me... Well, you were asking what care package you can send me?? You can send me the crabs, map quest my address and put the directions on their little legs. Let them swim in the Hudson River and I will find a way to meet them on the other side of the bank, if my doctor will allow me to be out that day, he-he-he.I missed your scrapbooking, but before I left, I told Veron the pictures that I want to be posted. Thanks, Veron... I missed also your pajama party, but I called Flor that night, I guess you were all busy. Thanks for sharing Mahgene's jokes that I missed. You are so funny, Ruth...
