E-mail sent out on October 2, 2003

Subject: We are putting it to a family/friends vote


 

Check out the combination bumper pool/poker table/dining table

 

Here is what the vote was about*:

 

We have decided to put nothing but new furniture into Mendy's new home.  It is gonna take a little while & we are thinking maybe a piece of furniture every couple months.  Before voting, remember we are starting with no furniture.   

 

1.  You are voting on whether we buy the bumper pool/poker table/dining table we want & then later buy a couch & then rest of the furniture (including a bed) to match the bumper pool/poker table/dining table; or

 

2.  Buy the rest of the furniture (including a bed) 1st & then buy the bumper pool/poker table/dining table to match the rest of the furniture?

 

We appreciate your help.

 

L&S,

 

J&M

 

*There are rules on whose vote counts but those rules will be announced later.

Well, within the spirit of the e-mail, you buy the bumper pool table first.  You can always buy brand new folding chairs from walmart for $15.

Bumper pool. Might get old but it doesn't take up much room.

J. Allen, my brother........there has been a misunderstanding at your house(s)...........

THE WIFE ALWAYS CHOOSES ALL THE FURNITURE.

THE WIFE ALWAYS BUYS ONE YEAR SAME AS CASH and all at once.

THE WIFE ONLY TAKES MOTHERS IN LAW AND SISTERS IN LAW shopping for furniture.

Husband gets to review the items purchased ONLY by verbal description while viewing the sales receipt.

HUSBAND MAY be allowed to take time off from work over the next two months as the previously ordered FULL HOUSE OF FURNITURE IS DELIVERED ROOM BY ROOM.

HUSBAND wakes on Xmas Morning to see if his new bumper pool table is under the tree.

Love,

Diane

(ps- you can see why I have been single for 20 years, right???)

Of course the table but only because I want to be able to tell people I've got friend who managed to impose this decision on his wife.

1st off, who's counting the votes?

2ndly, do our votes really count? and

3rdly, BUY THE BUMPER TABLE then use ur daughters furniture, ie. the leather pull out sofa bed, the (Kinkaid) queen-size 4-poster solid oak bed, the solid walnut twin-sized beds with matching nightstand, and the solid wood kitchen table with inlaid tile in it and matching chairs and bench, and the (Basset) mission style oak-computer desk with matching file cabinet!

(just wondering if our votes REALLY do count)

l&s,

gil

Dad,

This is pretty much a no brainer.

Ask yourself these questions.

1) Would I rather have a nice warm bed with my wife in it with me to keep me warm, or

2) Would I rather sleep on a dining room table/ bumper pool/ poker table with one of the bumpers stuck up my tail end.

I'm sure you know I'd want my wife with me in a nice warm bed.

I hope you make the right decision.

L & S

Wow, those are really beautiful....I thought you were joking (as usual) but if you're serious, then I will give a serious answer.

#1) If you're going with one of those 3 tables, I would go for either the top one (most expensive) or the 3rd (middle priced) one cuz the least inexpensive one is only about $50.00 under the middle one.

#2) I personally would go with a bed & at least couch first, before a dining table. Ya'll can eat off of TV trays or in your mobile home or wherever, but you NEED a bed & a couch. Also, as Mendy & I were saying, you should get a sleeper sofa, for company to sleep on, such as myself & Glenn, when we come visit ;)

By the way, your bed doesn't have to match the dining room table. Unless of course you plan to dine it IN the bedroom. (HAHAHA, just a joke for Jim, who hasn't lived in a real house for years, LOL) AND Finding a sleeper/sofa you like is hard enough, you should try to find it first & THEN get the table to match your furniture......Hence, the first table has "5" different finishes to choose from.

There. How'd I do?

Hmmm, it was a tough decision, but I vote for # 2.  You need a place to sleep first, otherwise, you will be too tired to do any more furniture shopping!

Good luck! 

Lisa :)

Hi J&M!

Mark and I both say you have to have furniture first and then a bumper pool/poker/dining table. It is awfully hard to get a good night's rest on the table combo.  Also, it doesn't make a very good place to sit and write e-mails or watch tv. So, I guess you get two votes for #2 from the Neibuhr house.  If Meghan were still up, I think that would have to be a tally of three votes for #2.

Sorry Jim.  Good luck Mendy.

L&S.

More later,

My vote is for the furniture first, then the bumper pool combo table.  The reason being is that I know Mendy won't be happy sleeping on the floor.

Well, well, well.  It sounds like you have yourselves a pickle.  I would guess that furniture might be the best start for a lot of other reasons not really high on a "boys" list of wants (notice that I said boy and not man because a man wouldn't need to ask his friends what to do) and my vote is for furniture.  So anyways, I feel that whatever Mendy wants, Mendy gets.

LOVE,

Nicole

No question - pool table first!!! The bad thing is, I'm sure you have already decided that all friends would vote for the pool table.  Scary thought.  I'm not sure if I really want to be included in that category.  Ahh well, my vote is cast.

Dear James,

It was nice of you to ask our opinion, but the bottom line: "WHAT MAKES MENDY HAPPY"?

I'd personally buy the one (Centaur GN3) with the nice poker table first, invite my old poker friends over and try to win enough to pay for the rest of the furniture.

Immediately after the original e-mail was sent out Mendy was on the web trying to decide what color pool table she wanted. Guess that settled the issue.
