Jackie I never did understand why they were upset...who was upset? I got the impression that it was a bystander who thought someone was being crude by taking pictures. If that is so, what business was it of hers, anyway? Pat

We took him once he quickly got up and left before he up chucked everything he ate! LOL That is how we discovered how bad it really was. Jackie

Well, there is my spelling again, I mean poor, no money, in the census he was living with some of the family. Actually stated he was a pauper. Sorry about the miss spelling. Jackie

Boy that hits home, He never wants to do what someone else schedules! Jackie

Then, there are tours that are well worth it. Sandi

Amen to that. Some men are real control freaks. Though I suppose the shoe could fit the other foot too. Just haven't seen it as often. Norma

> guess so, he can't watch the movies about flying and being in the air. Jackie > I'd like to see his reaction to one of those movies where you are seeing it from the point of view of somebody riding in the front seat of a roller coaster! BTW: don't take him to one of the IMAX theaters. Pat

Jackie He was a what? An orange juice squeezer? What does a pulper do, exactly? My grandmother has one of the grave markers, but I had to put it up because the idiots kept hitting it with their lawn mower. So, I moved it closer to the headstone and used some quick-setting cement to keep it upright. It is nice--all brass. Very nice. It looks kind of like a shield from a distance. Pat

> You will NEVER get my husband on a plane. He is so afraid of flying he passed > up a great job because he would have to fly. Jackie My father-in-law was like that. Since he viewed being afraid as "not manly", he tried to pass off his fear as "I was in WWII and I have seen planes shot down." It comes down to a loss of control, and a lot of men want to be in control all of the time. My husband would not go on a tour with the rest of the family because he didn't like someone else setting the agenda for each day. If he couldn't be in control, then he just wouldn't go! Pat

Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What I am saying is that people are sending this stuff around the Internet like lightning and yet no one bothers to stop and wonder if the stuff they are dutifully sending is TRUE. And, most of it is not. Yes, it has been proven that women can hear higher frequencies than men. But, as to the vision, I see no reason for two people who each see 20/20 to have a difference in what they see. If there is a difference, I am open to proof--I just am not open to this trivia stuff masquerading as fact. Pat
