KiwiJ,

What I meant about others using it for their purposes - an example would be believer using it as a platform to trash Israel and US foreign policy. It makes me ashamed. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

ToddAC,

I followed the link. You are truly twisted.

Pio,

I raised three sons. MIL lived fifty minutes from WDW. I have been on IASWAA a million times at least. Also, Weeki Wachee. Adult male beneifits there I am happy to report: mermaids!

Busch Gardens: Beer at the end of the hot, dusty trail for adult males. Mercy!

And then there was the now defunct Boardwalk and Baseball. Actually a great concept that didn't last two seasons.

I forgot SeaWorld. I have been soaked with whale and dolphin water more times that there are sand grains in SA.

And then HardRock Cafe. Expensive and mediocre, and loud.

Did I mention LOUD?

Wait until DD's get older. Everywhere you take them, no matter the diversions, they will clamour: let's go to HardRock!

Then, when we went to San Francisco, all I ever wanted to do in SF was to visit Ghiradelli chocolates and ChinaTown to get a real Chinese meal.

Where did we go? HardRock Cafe.

We couldn't find it. It was at the edge of ChinaTown. We stopped at a Chevron station. The attendant was Chinese. I asked for directions to HardRock. He said: "Why don't you go to Chinatown and get some real food, cheap?"

Mercy.

Kids.

HardRock Cafe.

It's everywhere.

So, we went to Puerto Rico. I wanted to go and get rice and beans and roast pork, platanos, arroz con pollo, rice pudding, etc.

Where did we end up?

HardRock Cafe.

The only upside is that all three sons have t-shirts, sweatshirts and sweaters from HardRock Cafe.

Duh.

HRC has been DD1's favorite restaurant since she was 4. We went at least two times a week in Dubai. We still visit everyone we get withing 50 miles of. Even WW is tired from DW. I asked if she wanted to go to NASA here in Houston. She asked if I was crazy. We didn't go.

Well, that reminds me. Next will be SpaceCamp.

Either in Huntsville, Al or the "Cape".

Trust me, send DD's to Huntsville. Much nicer. The Cape facility is a joke.

I think I have convinced DD's that our next trip will be to the pyramids. It was a negotiation. First they were concerned that there still might be mummies around. Once that was settled, they asked if there were hotels in Cairo. For some reason they were concerned that they might have to sleep in tents.

You will be dismayed to learn that there is a HRC in Egypt.

They are everywhere.

So since you seem to know so much about the HRC. Can you tell me how much my tequila shot glass collection is going to cost - and how much I will be able to get for it on Ebay?

Honestly, all I know about tequila is that it is the only liquor that can kill you. The only one. No other liquor can kill you.

Oh <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> that's ok then.

DD is now in Berlin. She is going to buy a piece of the wall.

You know regarding the SIL thread, I was 18 when I met my H and he was 23. I nearly didn't go out with him because he was too old. I was engaged just after my 19th birthday.

It's sort of weird that everyone is focussing on the age. It could be any age and it would still be completely inappropriate.

Who took the star away? Was that you in a tiff? Maybe I need to stay away from my own thread again for a bit. See if we can upgrade the environment.

KiwiJ,

You of all people should know that if I ever have a problem with you, I am not shy about letting you know it. Right? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I'm off to bed. I feel very bad.

I just read that more women have affairs than men. I now feel lucky that my WW didn't have a lesbian affair.

Right <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Oh don't even go there with lesbian affairs. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I am so confused. That may be a bad sign.

Are you saying that Pio should never have married Gemela; or maybe Gemela should never have married Pio because of their age difference?

Don't believe it. As long as there are men who are philanderers, cheating men will always outnumber cheating womens. The contention you read about is all part of our pop culture. Besides, how would anyone ever know who and how many of each gender has affairs? As Dr. Frank Pittman puts it, if you would lie to your spouse and cover up an affair, why would you be expected to be truthful on a survey about infidelity?

Speaking of which, I just heard earlier tonight that WW prolly had an affair, or perhaps a brief fling, with another neighbor.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

I think KiwiJ is talking about another thread. At least I hope she is. You don't exactly keep up with current events. There is a 20 somethings guy married to a 20 somethings girl and is trying to have an A with her 18 YO sister and seeking validation. He seems to me to be bred as a serial cheater. This guy has some serious issues.

ToddAC,

Did you chase BigK away? I couldn't have been me. I wasn't even here.

BTW ToddAC,

I have never really been clear on one thing. Can you explain to me event singularity?

I have also been away for a while. Are Israel and Lebanon happy neighbors again?

I am talking about another thread.

Todd, that's got to suck. You're better off without as we say here.

Please don't explain event singularity whatever the heck that is. It sounds exceptionally boring.

No, I don't believe Israel and Lebanon are happy neighbours again but then I don't watch the news that much. (I'm always on here or cooking dinner at news time).

Event Singularity is Moore's Law on steroids.

Yeah, just read the thread. I had the same reaction as you. He seems to allude to having sex with SIL, then when challenged denies it and again hints that he has had sex with her. He may just be a bad communicator but I wonder.
