You betchya girl!!!!

My experience is that the prettiest girl in a non-intoxicated environment (key here) is less likely to get chatted up because 1) she is intimidating, and 2) she is presumed to already be taken. What works (IMHO): Confidence. Jokes. Shy smiles. Winks (I got this last one from a seventy year old Republican Politician from Oklahoma) These are awesome openers. Oh, and I almost forgot- TALKING ABOUT SNOWBOARDING Heheheee. Ok- that last one probably works better for me since I live in a metropolitan area. :p

Maybe people do take their vows seriously. You also have to allow for things to happen in life though and for those things to influence how a person changes. My parents have been divorced since I was in sixth grade. I LOVE IT. I used to hear them fight on the other side of my bedroom wall late at night. We've had the cops over. They weren't druggies or alcoholics or anything. They just happened to grow so far apart that they couldn't even love each other anymore. My dad is remarried to his high school sweetheart and I love her. My mom isn't remarried (BUT SHE IS AWESOME, WONDERFUL, ENERGETIC, COMPASSIONATE, BEAUTIFUL, ADVENTUROUS, and SPONTANEOUS) and I think we are all the better. My point to this post is that yes, sometimes people should put more work into marriage... but if that just doesn't work, then you shouldn't stay together and continue hurting each other. My sister and I would be really F-ed up if they had and fortunately for us- we talk to both of our parents and love them completely, and we also UNDERSTAND why things happened the way they did and are great about it.

At least its better than trying to find someone in Vermont. We have trees though. And if you like cows......

lol- oh im not too worried about my romantic life. I've got three dates ahead of me, one that probably includes canoeing and another that is at six flags (what a guy!!!!) So yeah- I am actually incredibly happy right now in that arena. I just thought that your guyses words of support were cute

Awwwwww :p

Right- actually this was at a big house that the ski team was renting out- the doors were open and my friend Emily was hanging out with us while we were all trying to get the hot tub working for the gang Appreciate the balls

Here is what I've got so far-- Re: the dying hair- that was more of an activity I did with my boyfriend AND you know what... it is one of those "activities" that has potential. For example: you wouldn't want to wear a shirt while your hair is getting dyed because then you might accidentally color it. You also need to stay bent over a sink or hot tub. You also need to take a shower afterwards. Not saying I did any of that with said person- but it is one of those activities for the more spontaneous couples. I also let him pick the color. PS- no need to criticize individual items- some are just there to be jokes but feel free to add as always Date Ideas.doc

Yeah- they could secretly be aspiring to kill you and throw you over

My team got third place.... AND my number was the star player!!! I think Italy deserved it after Zidane.. One of the first things we learned as peewee's was good sportsmanship.

So I am tired of dinner and the movies and think its generally lame. I want to know what your creative minds have for good activities for a date (first dates or just other dates). Some of the things I came up with for the right people Cooking a gourmet meal Inline Skating Dying hair Go-carts/Air Hockey Kayaking/Canoeing Swapping favorite ice creams Bowling Fixing my webcam etc etc

This picture was taken earlier on the same day

you should to

whoops- thanks

Did you pick a topsheet? I just found out about this thread today... too bad, I got all excited until I read up on the submission date. Totally curious to know what the winner was though!

We had an awesome day- for half of the bay cruise I could actually do it without my sweater.

Ha! If you give a girl a camera it wouldn't go to waste. If worst comes to worst, you'll just use it on her. If best comes to best, you'll develop the film and find a few "surprises" on the way. On second thought- hopefully those "surprises" don't include somebody else Picture: Not a goddess one, but note the sweater (hint: starts with K, the back has a double diamond and says "Experts Only" with a skull and crossbones) and the background

I've never been the biggest patriot- but man, Boston is just the party town

Wow!! Thanks so much for all of this feedback. As Allee stated, I am thinking of taking time off, perhaps once I am done with my BA- spend a summer south of the border or something and then come up, or the other way around. I would need the money but I also want to be with an awesome group of people and party lots. I could probably bartend or work at a casino as a dealer or something like that too. Based on all the commentary and knowing that I won't do this for a living- I think ski patrol would be better just because I would bring all the first aid skills with me later on. Questions: Should I start in the United States/ Canada (maybe Tahoe or Portland area) or south of the border (during our summer) ? Any particular resorts you would recommend? Money supplements? Thanks

That looks like college paid off

I recognize that one problem with the subject might be the word "ski" but I just wanted your input because I figure you all know a lot. Would you prefer doing ski patrol or being a ski instructor for a season or two? (Substitute ski with snowboard if you need to) I would like to know what the arguments are for and against or just personal preferences and why. Stories are always fun too. Thanks guys!!!

Every god or goddess I've heard of has a wicked temper- I don't know if I want to risk that

An 80 years old Arab American man has lived close to New York City for more than 50 years. He would love to plant potatoes in his garden, but he is alone, old and weak. His only son is working in Paris, so the old man sends him an e-mail. He explains the problem: "My beloved son, I am very sad, because I can't plant potatoes in my garden. I am sure, if only you were here, you would have helped me and dug up the garden for me. I love you, your father." The following day, the old man receives a response e-mail from his son: "My beloved father, please don't touch the garden. It's there that I have hidden 'THE THING'. I love you too, Ahmad". At 4 pm the US Army, the Marines, the FBI and the CIA visit the house of the old man, take the whole garden apart, search every inch, but can't find anything. Disappointed, they apologize and leave the house. The next day, the old man receives another e-mail from his son: "My beloved father, I hope the garden is dug up by now and you can plant your potatoes. That's all I could do for you from here on such short notice. I love you, Ahmad."

China is getting into oil too right now so they will also be one of the major players in a few years, especially when it comes to negotiating with the U.S. and U.K. It is true, for exports the euro is crap- esp for Germany. Who wants to buy more expensive stuff? But ... well, there will always be a market for an M3. Did ou guys know that they also make cruise ships?? I found this out because the safe in our room was manufactured in my mom's hometown and sure enough- my Aunt's town is one of the major building spots. Just an interesting tid-bit.

Why would they hate the Euro? It enables them to travel more, within Europe and without. They are also attracting investments due to the unified currency. I mean, granted, it was a crap for the first few years (we have a family business in Germany) and job prospects were horrible, but it is on the upswing now.
