The Texas renfaire is pretty awesome...

My sister & I were staying in Austin but drove all the way out because we cannot pass up a Faire. It was totally worth it!

Hey All,

Been awhile and it looks like there is alot to catch up on. * Welcome to all the new members, *pour another drink and belly up to the bar!!

Life has been busy, just got back from my Second Trip to Nigeria in 4 months. This time, i let my guard down and ate something that did not agree with me at all...could not even kill it with alcohol. *Long trip back on the plane, but feel better now. * Still taking Malaria pills for 6 more days

Great weekend ahead that I have been looking forward to for a while!! *So may not be able to stay on top of all the weekend news on DIS.*

Frequent flier card will get a major workout until I return to the States in early December, I will need another break.*

Hope everyone has a great weekend!! Plans?

Thx for the welcome. Glad you are feeling better!

wow, string of bad luck... I recommend not borrowing the new husbands this weekend..

Wow.... Do you really even need to worry about finding another guy? seems like you have a great deal with the ability to just borrow guys when you need them then just giving them back when you are thru with them.




At least let the brides get tired of them before you start borrowing them.

There are certain things I'm pretty sure my girlfriend's won't loan them for

I was joking with another friend that Gabe (the guy who helped with the animal disposal and frequently gets tagged by his wife to babysit my kids so we can hang out), is probably going to start trolling the dating sites for a husband for me soon I can see the ad now "Man seeking Man for Woman"

Welcome back! Sorry you had a difficult time in your travels. Is it as difficult for American's to leave Nigeria as it is for Nigerians? We had a guy when I was in the Navy who I think was even a naturalized American citizen who went back to Nigeria for his Mom's funeral and was basically held hostage for a few weeks trying to get back. If he hadn't been in the US military I'm not sure he'd have gotten back out! My uncle is an archdeacon in a Nigerian Anglican church and most families take years to get everyone together, so Nigeria is on my personal "avoid" list.


I was relieved to find out the the outdoor wedding I'm attending today is "country/cowboy dress casual" (whatever that means, lol), so the kids and I can at least wear jeans. It is supposed to be in the 60s, but I still wasn't really wanting to wear dressier clothes to sit in a lawn chair in a field I understand that the lake it is at is beautiful, but still....tomorrow's wedding is shortly after church, so it's "wear what you wore to church" casual

I heard that Magnolia (Texas Ren Faire location) BURNED????

The wildfires burned around Magnolia, but the Renfest grounds suffered no damage.

Hi everyone, I just returned from a quick trip to the hill country (near San Antonio), we had a fun visit to Natural Bridge Caverns and wildlife, cannot believe I have lived in Texas my whole life and never been before.

I would try to catch up, but instead am popping open a beer and joining back in...

To catch up and spend a bunch of time reading past posts.... or drink a beer.

Tough choice.

I am with taramoz on this one. . .the beer seems much more appropriate for the evening.

 

[bluedevilinaz]

if you happen to find a bar willing to part with an empty crystal head bottle, at a reasonable price, I'm trying to get my hands on a second one

Haha good luck man. Most places throw them out.


So the DF and I have decided we're gonna try to make it to DL for New Years. We'll see what happens though. Entirely depends on how much money we have. fingers crossed!

ok--jumping in here. I have come to discover that only checking this thread once a week leaves you waaaayyyy behind.

Anyway--off topic (is there a topic????) "The Great Piss-off"

At church this morning I go into the ladies room. Most of the stalls are filled.

Anyway-no one is actually "going". I've noticed this at work also. Are all women afraid to start the process for fear another woman might hear them? Do they think the smell of their urine will overwhelm the bathroom? Guess what gals--that's what we're here for--get it out and get it over. (And don't mention going to the bathroom to pass gas or do other business and getting stuck in a piss-off).

So what is the proper etiquette here? First in leads? Someone counts it out (1-2-3 GO). Do they announce the start (Ladies, start your bladders)? She with the most beer to expel goes anyway and start if off?

Anyway, if you care, that is how my day is going. Can't wait for more fun random thoughts to enter my head. Won't bore you all with anymore.

I think it starts with a courtesy flush. We have an unspoken rule at work...you never go into the stall next to another lady if the bathroom is empty. You leave at least one empty stall between you.

I didn't know there are rules. Are there extra subtexts of rules when you enter in pairs?

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Never made it to that beer festival. Was up in Purchase visiting my son, was no time to stop in the city for beer as I had tickets to Steven Stills later that evening. This morning I was entered in a duathlon, had my fastest time so far (missed breaking an hour by 18 seconds) and finished fourth in my age group. Now I could go for a beer!

Enjoy the rest of Sunday!

nope, no topic. We jump around a lot. Consider it a Conversational ADD.

There are rules in the ladies room? interesting. For the Men's room, i think this classic video does a good job at explaining things.

I also heard an interesting statistic today that i thought i'd share with the group. Did you know that 3.14% of sailors are Pi Rates?

Great video..."And Ralph and Chuck begin to...well ralph and chuck!" I'm still laughing.

technically it's impossible to go into a stall next to another lady if the restroom is EMPTY

 

[DCTooTall]

is that the bathroom version of "if a tree falls in the woods?"

Omg, that video was hilarious! As is the % of pi rates lolol!

That was actually two separate thoughts....but yes you are right. It never fails I will be the ladies room...the only person...10 other empty stalls and the next lady in the room has to pick a stall next to me! I don't get it. I guess they want company?

 

[MICKEY88]

went to the Annual Pirates PArty last night ....running on 1 hour sleep, this should be an interesting day..going to be hurting later, but it was worth it..

Glad you had a good time. That's always worth a little lack of sleep!
