Do they have internet in Cuba? What's the Cuba suffix at the end -- you know, it for Italy, pt for Portugal, es for Spain, etc?

so I take it he's decent looking...then, if he's had access to P of the recreational variety and he turned it down, something may be wrong. If he's had access to P of the entanglement variety, can you blame him?

whoa...whoa...if he, or anyone else, can objectively afford to be picky, then I would have an issue if they weren't somewhat picky. I've never set across the table from a single mom and picked up the tab...that's one of my big "issues" in life...to me single means "childless"... what is an MS pic?

She might "CAVE IN."

dumb blonde (it's that commercial with those teen-age chicks driving down some freeway in Cali and Joey is in the back making sure his leg rubs up on one of theirs and they shriek...so, dumb blonde)

I want to leev een America... actually, it's not that funny, many lives have been lost crossing those 90 miles to the Keys...

Yo P-C-S, you're a two passport kind of guy. I was wondering if, given the fact that my father never naturalized in the US and remained a European national, I could get an Italian passport. That would now give me access to all of the EU. And, with one of those, I could go to Cuba... ...pero no quiero nadar en el Caribe porque tengo miedo de los tiburones....

I would love to go to Cuba. I'm wondering when we will finally see a Miami-Havana flight. A lot of my friends growing up were Cuban...they were a riot...their parents even more so.

Damn, looks a lot like the Seattle area...no wonder all those Nordic types made a beeline for western Washington state where most of the natives look like their parents married their first cousins.

I found it to be depressing despite being a well-crafted film...not a SINGLE character in it was minimally upbeat....all of the settings accentuated the bleakness, especially deserted streets with the wind howling and tumbleweeds moving across them.I think it was highly imprudent for a teacher to show a film carrying the R label (minimum age of 17) to 12 year olds. I think that the amount of the suit is ridiculous, as they all are. We live in such an 'effed up society where there is so much leniency in criminal matters and so much harshness in civil litigation. It's just plain 'effin wrong. (To think that the CFO from Enron is doing less than 10 years time for orchestrating the corporate crime of the century). Maybe she developed a crush on one of the two characters and felt "betrayed," as did their wives -- hence her trauma.

Well, is he both a geek and an architect, reg, that could explain a thing or two about his marital status?

P-C-S, you wear your hairiness like a "badge of honor" :AH-HA_wink: Seriously, I can laugh at the acne era because I wound up with a really clean complexion since my mid-20s...so it's cool.

Golden Gate Bridge Joseph Strauss, vous le connais, n'est-ce pas?

You mean you had a clear complexion at 17 !?

Wow, great thread idea. Most are fairly unpretentious. Kucinich: yep, I could see that Hunter: hate the car (gas guzzler), love the "getting his money's worth" part

When I lived in OR-WA, I went to Calgary and Banff. Beautiful city and beautiful resort. A lot of nice people, too, up in Alberta. What's that slice of freeway that runs from near Univ. of Calgary to just SW of downtown? Is that it? If so, I've been on it. Yeah, it was some narrow road...but it was in August, so I'm sure it would be bad when the weather is iffy.

Never had one! Just a LOT of pepperoni on my face at the time!

Oh, brother, can you think of ANYTHING else...sheez! My mother lives 580 miles north of me +/- and I have a final exam tomorrow night. I called her up this morning and wished her Happy Mother's Day.

...at least you went to it! I couldn't line up a date!

Nice building...nice proportions...looks eclectic....I see some neo-classical, some Romanesque...what style is it supposed to be? Sorry to digress...S.H. ...your trip looks like a good time. If I read correctly, you are taking the Cadillac. I like the 1977-1979 CdV s.
