LG: If you think Pio is in the same place now as he was 12 months ago you haven't been paying attention.

And it is very hypocritical to offer advice you yourself have not followed. And if you don't like that it's YOUR issue.

Did you know the most expensive ingredient in a pizza is the cheese?

Did you know the price of popcorn is up drastically due the increased emphasis on fuel ethanol which is made from corn?

That was my feeling also. Only in this case, for some reason, it made me quite angry. It reminded me of all those months I suspected gemela of an A and even confronted her a few times but got nothing but denials. So an OM who "comes clean" and then would nat have the balls to tell me what he had done with my wife is something I take issue with. And it is my issue. But to see a person like that tell another so adamantly that exposure was necessary is incredulous.

I'm not familiar with all LG's story. I do remember he posted something about his office with a view of the court house. I have a window in my office as well. I can see a mosque, the al, mujamma, the camp where I live and, if there are no sand storms, a glint of Half Moon Bay. I wonder which I would choose to highlight. Someone who's only thougt at looking out their window is of the court house must be a lawyer, an elected official or, God forbid, both.

LG is hiding behind the POJA on exposure to the husband of the woman he screwed for a few years. Not his problem I guess. Seems to be a lot of that going around.

How's your holiday by the way? Any luck with that Pizza?

I've only been here about 24 hours and no joy with the pizza. I did buy a load of ham steaks at Wally World and I'm trying to achieve saturation. I was successful in getting a Texas driving license today and the new tank for the Deuce is in a box in the living room. I just bought insurance and I will try to tag it tomorrow after my 11:00AM LAUPing. Then I will ride it over to the guy who will replace the tank. It will take him about a day so I should have a repaired Harley next week. I've been on the phone all day and I'm a little stressed out. This is definitely not a vacation for the scrapbook. I also found out I have to pay sales tax on the Harley when I tag it. I have been playing with my Bowflex SelectTech dumbells. Those are hot. Still haven't made it to Home Depot yet.

How can they make you pay sales tax (presumably for the second time)??

In Honour of TKO, My 4000'th post but who's counting.

Huh? We ARE talking about US government.

Well an update of sorts. I just wasted the better part of a day since I didn't get lauped. All I can say is that a doctor's office in a strip mall doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling. Even so I waited over an hour after my appointed time. But since today was the only day I really had to tag the Harley, I decided to leave.

So I went to BIL's office to get the faxed insurance papers and then had to go back by the house to get my passport since it occurred to me that I no longer have any form of photo ID. I got to the tax office at 1:30 which was unfortunately just after the 40 people in line ahead of me. So an hour later I got to talk to someone who explained to me that I didn't have nearly enough documentation to tag the bike. Most of it I think I can get but the deal breaker is that they want a copy of the previous title. I told them that the UAE does not allow you to keep the title when exporting a bike (which is very true). I never had a photocopy of it because it never occurred to me that I would ever need it. How wrong I was. I also spent the better part of an hour explaining that the UAE was a country since neither the clerk nor her supervisor had ever heard of it. So I hung my head and walked away.

Now BIL is upset because he says he had this all worked out and had put together everything I needed. He is mad because all I want to do is walk in to the government office and give them a check for a few thousand dollars and they refuse to take it. He then told me that if nothing else works, I can pay a "facilitator" to get this all done for me. Hello? How come I didn't know about this before. Give me the guy's number! BIL refuses because he says it is a matter of principle. I reply that this is exactly how we get things done in the Middle East.

At least I finally got the bike insured in case the garage falls down on it.

Well with your luck.....

Good to hear from you......ok, what should we infer from that?

Hi Todd! Good to hear from you. Haven't heard from Mr. TKO for awhile. How are things going?

Well I've been away for a while and I come back and find that many of you are still posting advice to people who don't want to hear it. This needs to stop. Please only post advice that people want to hear even if it is the wrong advice.

I also had to revisit the forum guidelines and now I understand why KiwiJ used "unnecessary blasphemy" on the giorgos update thread. It is apparently the only thing not banned by forum policy.

So if you have any harsh words for me, please do use unnecessary blasphemy so the mods won't edit it.

I'm sure you actually meant to say necessary blasphemy

You should become your authentic self again so everyone knows who you are....

I prefer anonymity - at least I would prefer it if I could spell it.

Welcome back my old friend.

lmao, BigK did you find this? What a hoot.

Pio, you're stuck with being "head lice". Seems to me that someone up there likes that name for you.
