You are right Tear, ty, that's what I was trying to say.

Pio, I hope I was not mean to you. What I remember is you insisting the G twin was saying her and her family were G family. I didn't understand that from the chat, to me it was clear you and the girls were G family. Now I understand that a terapeut told you to keep G with you those months. It seems it worked so well at least to break the addiction.

Peace?

Thanks piojito for welcoming me on your thread.

I'd written something about my history but got the dreaded ..form no longer valid. I seem to get that more when I'm a bit lengthy but have gotten it at other times as well. What I did find that works to avoid that is write some, click continue, write some more, & so on.

I'm too tired now to write it again but will tomorrow.

larousse,

I said you were probably right. I have no problems. I think you are great. Just mean to me sometimes but still great. On the other hand, who isn't mean to me?

ToddAC,

Whay in the he** do you seem to think you need AutoCAD? AD's? I actually stopped taking mine by accident. I don't see any difference.

nams,

Since MB "upgraded" their software, there seems to be a timelimit. I highly recommend you write your long posts in Word or some other software and copy and past. Fortunately with the new upgrade you can use the "back" button on your browser and go back to what you had written. When you see your post, select all and "copy". Then go back and find the thread again, post a reply again and past what is in the memory (what you copied) and submit. Does that make sense? If you are careful, you will not lose your carefully crafted words. The previous version of the forum software would not allow you to use the "back" button so maybe it is an upgrade after all. Now I can already tell that ToddAC is going to be asking me to explain that all night long. Give it a try and you explain it to him. He is trying my patience. I am sure he is trying to design a new clamp and I just can't be bothered.

Architectural drawings. I first tried ACAD but at $4,000 per copy, decided that I don't need 3D that badly. Actually, I don't need it at all. But I do need ACAD LT. I can draw in 2D and think in 3D. It is an affliction that I don't need to spend $4,000 on.

AD's? I have had trouble concentrating. Thought the AD's might help. They haven't. They have caused other unwanted problems. Guess I will stop. Can I go from taking 21 per day to zero suddenly? Hope so. It's what I have been doing.

Well I learned a long time ago that extrapolation is dangerous so I have no opinion about going from 21 to zero. I did go from 17 AD's a day to zero with no problem. Beyond that I have no opinion.

Can we PLEASE bash larousse??????

L- Two came already pregnant. That was the first two. But I found out they were older cows. The new ones we bought Saturday are young - 18 months.

Todd - My pregnant days are over. 21 anti-D's a day ought to do the trick. For me, they worked on the 21st day. I do A-cad. I work with a bunch of engineers (SIGH), and only one does it.

I bet he is a big time nerd. 18 months and already pregnant? I am guessing affair.

P - He is BRILLIANT, but KING OF THE NERDS. He has a pocket protector with pens, glasses, highwater pants, a wrinkled shirt that doesn't match, and no sense of humor. He and his wife went to Las Vegas last year, and he spent time in some hotel where the elevators go diagonally, instead of straight up and down.

Believer, besides your kidness, I'm impress by the natural way you conecct with your friends from Oaxaca.

...but thinking further it still sounds suspicious, pregnant cows slavery perhaps? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Pio, let's bash the French while we all share a bottle of champagne, in an open air bistro at Marseille, eating some grapes rolled in bacon, waiting for a soup Boullabaise
and finishing with some nice chees, more champagne, chocolats and cognac. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

:::::::::::

Have you wondered why some many Americans are in Saint Tropez this summer and so many British in Hampton* US? Me neither.

:::::::::::

I think the French have a great ability to recreat their image, time and time again, I would say they are the spin doctors of internationl image, sauf in US bien sur. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Tod

The wet noodle is only pretense, fog? Their army and their army industry is highly developed and kicking. Complex topic, their military history in North Africa from Argel, Tchad to Ivory Coast is full of contradictions and difficult decisions.

Anyway, I don't think their motives were wet noodles shoe's laces.

Oh... the coin just dropped, Vtnm !

Eh...

I don't want to be banned from MB

Let's talk about your plans for nice accomodations Tod.

I just remembered my first work experience with a French. My boss assigned me to be his 'assistan' for some days while he dealed with our company. One day we were waiting, the French man and I to go into my boss's office for a meeting. As Pio knows appointments in Mexico have always some flexibility, some minutes late, etc... The French man got really impatient, anxious, walking side to side in the waiting area, until he starte to say loud, 'I hate to wait', several times with exasperation.

After the meeting my boss made everything possible to make him wait, always.

So, my experience is that for some French it is cool to express loudly their disappointment or frustration even in front to the most small adversities or discomforts and some kick things a little or make big gestures with their hands. I learnt to not to pay any attention to it because at the end it really is a cultural thing more than a personality fault. IMHO

Nevertheless I voluntier to go to dooze your, I hope soon ex GF in law, with some salsa tabasco or Jalapeño juice.

larousse,

Are you aware that France has never had a military victory in its existence? They have had a few ties possibly but no victories.

We had to save them twice.

Google "French military victories" and click I feel lucky punk link. Read all about it.

There is only one product I enjoy that is French and that is cognac but I have not sipped any since the advent of our military effort in Iraq.

First of all, the sooner the better. This place is so depressing. I plan to rent a condo probably. In fact, there is a new development less than two miles from here I am very interested in. Don't want to buy one yet because... well, just because.

Next is to get my eyes fixed if it is possible so that I can pass the driver's visual exam and get my driver's license back and then, mercy, get a car. When I have my independence back, I will feel so much better.

One positive note today. My favorite Chinese restaurant is a mile from here. It is a slightly upscale restaurant so I was certain that they did not deliver. But, I decided to call them. They do deliver. And did I am happy to report.

Pot stickers, chicken with garlic sauce and steamed rice. It was yummy.

Hey Todd, you had a great dinner, that's why you were so quiet, you didn't want to share with us your delicious dinner and you left us suffering burps for to many champagne burbles.

You know the think I enjoyed about walking the streets on winter days? A 2 euros shot of cognac in any corner cafe. Cognac is extremely expensive here in Mx.

Know what I enjoy about walking the streets on winter days?

Nothing. I hate cold weather.

but if you don't get cold first hhow are you going to enjoy the gradual warming of the cognac? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

oh, oh, better don't talk about global warming.

Tod, the new development sounds good, you get to trash it a little bit first than anyone else.

Does it have some amenities? Lol. Pool, gym, heliport, movie theater, four restaurants? At least Mexican cantina?

Do not get me started on global warming. It is a hoax. Or, at least if it is a valid phenominon which I doubt, it is not man made.

The enviro-whacko group in the eighties was preaching "global cooling". When that was disproved, they overnight switched to warming.

A Russian scientist predicts that the year 2012 will usher in a thirty five year period of global cooling.

Now, let's think about this. Everyone is currently swapping their home windows for double ply, buying low flow toilets, energy saving appliances, cellulouse insulation, etc in an effort to combat the mythical GW. Keep those old windows, toilets and appliances. Then starting in the year 2012, reinstall the old, wasty stuff so we can warm the place back up.

Amenities? Let's see, gym, pool, home theater, well, condo theater, bar and something else I cannot remember. The best is one of the best steakhouses around is a one block walk, as is plentiful shopping and other eateries. Everything from California Pizza Kitchen to upscale Northern Italian.

I keep talking about food don't I? Back to the Chinese dinner, I will be able to make four or five dinners from it. I am still on the infidelity diet apparently. And sleep plan but that is getting better because I am so tired all the time.

I do know that in Mexico it is considered rude to be on time. yes we did bail the French out twice. My question is why? I guess this explains why affairs are so accepted in France. They have no reality. Everything is one big fantasy including the belief that France is important.

Untrue.
