  • The one I thought most popular at the time was "will you marry me?" That was a mistake. Tried it again in the 70's and it's still most popular.
  • I can understand how the environment in which these individuals grow up can cause all sort of dysfunction, which it does. I don't think the standards for dealing with it should be different though. Yikes, my daughter just got her first teaching jo…
  • Plain and unfamous? Your pictures are on the internet and you have been asked to set up the next forum cruise.
  • Can't now. We're tied down due to mother care. She will be 100 next month.
  • No way is that guy 65 years old, 45 max.
  • It's OK. I know what you really meant. "Except for Gillian and TN HR who are really understanding, beyond reproach and are general all around good people, most men are --------".
  • As Safety says - incoming - and here's the first. The first two posters were, and still are, male. Hopefully we are exempted from the generalization of "most males" - that does give you a little wiggleroom.
  • I think that Tom should get pregnant first.
  • I thought that you had someone to run out upon demand and bring anything that you desired?
  • Jeez - I was only commenting on TN HR who said that there was a thread which lasted four hours. I am sure that he meant a computer thread, ON THE FORUM. It must have shown up on one of my days off and I missed it.
  • I didn't know there was a thread which only lasted four hours. I thought they lasted forever.
  • According to the weather news from the NE, it seems that a swimsuit purchase is a really good idea.

  • But I don't want to vote for someone from Mississippi.
  • One people, two people, three people, four ----
  • My comments were about demographics pertaining ethnic groups which was what we were dealing with, not the rest of the stuff. On some of them I agree with you, on others I don't.
  • All previous changes in demographics brought a "tilt" objected to by those who happened not to like the tilt. Heck, I remember going to school in north Florida when the Brown vs. Board of Education decision was made. One of my buddies said " I ain…
  • Reply #2. No, when I retire (soon) I will speak English here and Spanish there. The locals don't have to adapt to me, I'll fit in, but that's because I already know the language, at least enough to get around very well. The things we do to accomod…
  • That's fine, but we have to do business in the environment that we have and waiting until the second or third generation when English will kick in is too long a wait. Having taught English to Spanish speakers, both as a volunteer and part of my con…
  • Ah, but Mexico controlling it's southern border controls people coming here, so the Mexican authorities are helping us, right? They aren't going to Mexico for a better life - it's just a pass through country for them. The bottom line, though, is t…
  • Who knows, probably to coordinate with the weekend.
  • Could be - and when the Mexican's charged, dressed in uniform tops, the French ran in the other direction.
  • Cinco and that means five, not "no", "pants" or "day". I don't know what the soldiers were wearing at the famous battle that our New Hampshire friend described, but I hope that it wasn't a "no pants day".
  • Their are too many nucular stastistics irregardless, you know. Where you at everyone? I pacifically don't have time to look for all you indignant people. I know this has been done before, I seen it before I axed about conversating. Just plain cou…

  • Well, I hesitate to do this because it is usually less astute forum participants who kick off the female/male thing - but, this is a GRAMMAR LESSON. You are having muchas margaritas. In Spanish gender is attributed to nouns -"o" for male and "a" fo…
  • Just have to add. The Mexican Revolution started in the area where we are going to live part time - Guanajuato. The first battle of the revolution was there. The Spanish holed up in the Alhondiga de Granaditas - Granary - and were defeated when a…
  • Sorry, you could be Gillian4 or something and we could figure out ways to confuse everyone. Gillian is my daughter.

  • Yea, I know, but the speakers and topics in this thread are those that would be completely out of place.
  • How about Don leading a session about the proper balance of liberalism/conservatism - it could be called "Should we, or shouldn't we, include a social consciousness as government policy, and how does that play in the work place".
  • #2. That must be where the Wendy's finger came from.
