Re Travel Man, I am not rich, but I manage to take at least a couple of small trips a year because I value travel and I make damn sure I get to do it. I save and budget, and I don't stay at resorts, I stay at affordable smaller hotels. I travel light, I look for travel deals and I've been known to stay places with a kitchen and cook most of my meals from the local farmers market so I would have more funds for sightseeing. I also don't stay anywhere longer than I think I need to, a long weekend is plenty for pretty much anywhere in the US, and a week for overseas. I know what I value about travel, seeing something different and meeting people, so I focus on those rather than anything fancy. Travel Man is a big baby.
Some kind of sparkling wine.
In Los Angeles it's all about Jarritos Mineragua. it's SO delicious. Esp with reposado tequila and lime.
I read the progressive alternative news site OpEd News, and they have some interesting posts about it. Not entirely unbiased, but highly informative.
To the Oh You Can Still be Furious lady, the issue may be self-correcting, the public humiliation may be enough to make him amend his ways. But I'd still have a Conversation about it, and I say to demand couples counseling if YOU feel you want it. I see you as the injured party here, not him, and you have every right to make some inquiries about his honesty and faithfulness.
I was walking to my old apartment on Staten island once, and a HUGE old angry raccoon was hanging out in a small tree a few feet outside the door to the building lobby. He hissed at me. I would believe that he weighed that much. Did I mention he was freaking huge? He was so heavy the branch was bending. I made a wide berth and darted into the building from the other side of the door. I think city raccoons can get big due to gorging on garbage.
Reminder to California registered voters to vote in the primary today! Polls open until 8 pm!
I'm going there in two weeks for the Cider Fest, thanks for the tip!
