Get it again, this time in PA...what's to stop you?

Five C&Gers to hang out with: Ones I've met (and I'd visit with them again): 1. Rivieraranch - during my vacation in So. Florida 2. Razoredge - during my vacation to Montreal and upstate NY Others I haven't met but definitely would: 3. Flybrian - he lives in Florida and I'm going again in mid-May 4. Bobo - went to U.C. Berkeley, so he's obviously very smart, plus he lives in California 5. Any of the N.Y. / Northeast Italians on the board (though Paolino probably would steer clear of me seeing how curt he's been with me, for whatever reason, over the last 6 months or so... :AH-HA_wink: love you, too, P ) And, of course, there are a host of others I would want to meet for all the "right" reasons (profession in common, geographics in common, ethnicity in common, interests in common). Realistically, there are no more than 3 or so I wouldn't want to meet, given less than optimal vibes that have gone back and forth.

Grand Bahama

I'm Catholic, dude. Guilt is my middle name. Now, if I was Jewish, that sentiment would be amplified exponentially.

obtuse

Which movie...again, the 1980's ? "Most men are little boys ... once they get a whiff of it they trail you like a hound."

sharp

leg warmers

high maintenance

Last line in "Gone with the Wind" - extremely controversial to have used the word "damn" in a movie in 1939! How times have changed. What about someone answering my quiz up above?

Is it Hilary Swank in "Million Dollar Baby"? My turn - it's from the mid-80's: "I've got a trig test tomorrow and I'm being chased by Guido the killer pimp!"

desperate (ocnblu, that is)

major

I think that when ocn wrote that, he intended for me to epitomize bitterness....interesting that he "knows" me as well as he thinks he does ... from nearly 3,000 miles away...

New England

scary

Thailand

hippies

So, now, since my brain is mush from a night final, explain the significance of the plate...

The rear part of the greenhouse has a little too much Jetta in it. It seems like we've run out of design ideas when the expanses in sheetmetal are constrained.

very flattering view of WV, Nickster.

I guess that would be equivalent to the situation on our shore; however, a good chunk of them don't work and some of them are involved in illegal activities. Most of the prostitutes are from Eastern Europe and they are really stuck between a rock and a hard place (Catch 22 situations for most of them). Still, it is a strain on the social fabric. And, yes, Mario and Lucia will continue to live at home with their parents rather than take those jobs you probably refer to.

Right. I was thinking the same thing. The Lumina was around, but no MC (what was the gap anyway, 1988-1994, something like that?)

Yes. And these people are generally insecure and know the least. My Mom has a neighbor who moved up from San Jose who is the dumbest bitch ever and who won't shut up. My friends and I refer to her as "the doorknob." The subject she is most garrulous about is religion - specifically Catholicism - which irks the f*c* out of me since I already belong to the religion, have 16 years of Catholic school and don't want to hear any more. There's a great expression for these people: "They don't know how much they don't know." Seriously, D83, she sounds like a DB, so just ignore her, no matter how tempting it might be to verbally take a hit.

During college/university, since I initially started out in the business school, I worked part-time at a hospital near LAX in the controller's office. It was bolted onto the billing office where I also worked on special projects for the auditors and such. I got to see a lot of patient files. My favorite: a man named Noble Hooker. Seriously. Everybody loved that file.
