Thank you for your support. :D I have friends who welcome me into their families. My being gay is never an issue. I remember, some years ago, a young boy (son of a friend) asked me if I am married. At that time, I had a partner. I told him, "I am with that man and we love each other like...

Hi Goldie :D The guys who accidentally discovered the cavern refused to reveal its location to anyone until they got the AZ State Park to agree that the pristine condition of the cavern must be preserved. It is a living cave with the formations still forming. That is rare. Most caves...

Did any of you go to Kartchner Caverns in Benson, Arizona? It was discovered in 1978 and was disclosed to the public in 1988. It is very hard to get tickets. My brother, who lives in Tucson, and I tried to get tickets the last time I visited him, but we were turned away. I was so...

Sighs . I am usually a mild mannered person, but there are two or three issues that can get me really MADDD! This is for SABRINA and others who think like her. Why did you bring up this discussion and REFUSE to be open minded to hear other sides? You were not discussing. You were simply...

I plan to go to Spain next year. It would make an interesting story for my grandchildren, if I don't get gored.

:laugh2: I bought two bags of wasabi peas yesterday. The last time I checked my pantry, there is only one bag left. yeah, pity those who don't realize the potency of wasabi. Not knowing what it was, my friend ate a big lump of wasabi. No need to say how he reacted to it.

Re: Re: Future travel destinations I definitely want to visit Australia someday. Actually, there are more places I didn't list. Too many. :) The plans for the next two years are definite. I am flexible about my plans for 2005> The 2005 Deaflympics sounds interesting. Where can I...

My chest and legs are hairy and I don't shave them. Why? The only place I want stubble is on my face. :eek: and OUCH! I find hairy men extremely sexy, but none of my exs are hairy. Go figure.

Your mother must be a neat person. Lavender growers tend to be mellow, kind, wise... I adore lavenders. I shall never forget my first sighting of lavender fields in Provence. It is my Elysium. Powerful aroma and imagery. There was a lavender festival near Gettysburg earlier this month...

I love to garden. I grew up helping my father with his veggie garden. He was famous for his Beefsteak tomatoes. He also had beautiful flower gardens. He grew many kinds of lilies, hostas (his favorite), beautiful alliums, and many more. My mother is not much of a gardener, so I go there to...

I tend to be budget-conscious when I am traveling. I love bargains and am known for finding good deals. I don't like to spend lavishly, even when I can. I like to spend on quality souvenirs for my loved ones and books for myself. For accommodations, location is a high priority, so I hunt...

The one shown above is more exotic looking than what I usually buy at Trader Joe's. Cool. Most Asian markets sell it too.

I'm more likely to watch foreign films than Hollywood blockbusters. I love the emotions evoked in many foreign films that I couldn't capture from most American movies. Still today I found myself thinking about certain clips of some foreign movies that I watched many years ago. I watch...

Have you tried wasabi peas? I am addicted to them. They are roasted green PEAS, coated with wasabi. Crunchy and spicy! Excellent for snacking!

Thanks for the links. I have bookmarked them. You have been to Europe five times! I don't think I have met anyone who went there that many times. Awesome! Today I purchased a nonstop roundtrip ticket, from Newark to Amsterdam. I will have two full days in Amsterdam, about four days...

I love that show too. I want to redo my mom's kitchen, still in its 1970s decor.

Much obliged. I am leaning toward Amsterdam. Your info is valuable. Now I feel much better knowing that it is easy to get to the city from the airport. :D Even though I live in DC, I plan to leave from Newark. It is closer to where my mom lives; she will assume her role as a granny to my...
