I won a small battle. I had reserved a room at a hotel in Boulder CO. After I talked to my cousin that lives there he said it was not a great motel. I called the hotel back and canceled my reservation. They said no problem. After the vacation I check my CC statement on-line and saw a $94 room charge on my statement for that motel. I called them and the guy actually said they have policy that they need a one friking month to cancel a reservation. I explained I had a policy to not accept BS policies from any company. He said he would talk to the owner and see what he could do. I saw the refund on my statement today.

I wonder how many folks would have just accepted that the policy is etched in stone. Not this dude.

Either/or, I'm in. Make it for mid next year - already have holiday plans for the rest of this year and early next year.

Redhead is pretty.

Finally watched the video of that gal... very cute but don't get why her little dance was considered "sexy" or alluring. Men, pigs. Ever since I have been reading the posts in this forum/thread, I am realizing a lot, A LOT, of innocent things I do daily might be considered "sexy" or a "turn on" for men. I know you think I am kidding, Rick, when I say, "??????" but really, some of the things you guys say, enlightening. Not that I find these things to be offensive. Just solidifies the belief that men have one thing on their mind. The sooner women realize this and accept this, it will be a more peaceful world. I saw this on a FB wall and it wraps it up in one sentence,"If all men smoked a joint and masturbated before going out, nobody would get punched in the head, stabbed or shot."

Nipple glide. Kinda like duct tape and WD40: can pretty much fix anything.

Well, no sense in denying the truth. It makes the day a lot more enjoyable when just about anything a girl does can be sexy. You have probably noticed how guys will talk to each other and when a girl/girls walk by both of the guys turn their heads to look at the girls walk past (or check them out from behind), all the while continuing the conversation. When the girls are gone it is like nothing ever happened.

I've done it before.

Tweze, you figured it out.
Men are pigs.
We can't help it, it is in our genitic makeup.
We act nice in social situations because there is always a chance some cute chick will think we are normal and like us. It is just a ruse.

Do any of you computer hardware geeks have some old 1.5 volt AGP video cards laying around un-used? The video card on my home computer is dying. The rest of the computer is stable and runs OK. It is a little slow but not too bad. I don't want to spend a ton of money on a new video card. I was loooking to pick up a cheap used card that works OK.

I likely will replace the entire computer fairly soon. It amazing how expensive a vacation is. I drove 3,519 miles and used $544.70 worth of gas and that is averaging 24.7 MPG. The hotel bills were a lot more than that.

Once again, it is pi$$ing rain here on the 'wet-coast'. I do wish I had something of more substance to offer for this intriguing thread.

'Til then, Cheers

I don't know why people make such a big deal about Freud figuring out that men pretty much always are thinking about sex. Any guy knows it.

He is WAAAAYYY north of me. And a bit north of Max.

Hey Pete, on my recent trip across several states I saw several trucks multiple times when I would pass them, and then we stop to pee and I pass them, and we stop to pee, and we pass them again. There is no way those truckers did not have to pee on occasion. I presume they all have a pee bucket in the cab?

Actually,
San Luis Obispo Airport: 35° 14' 12" N / 120° 38' 30" W
Oklahoma City: 35° 28' 3" N / 97° 30' 58" W

Not that much difference.

Thousand Oaks: 34° 10' 14" N / 118° 50' 12" W

I can go about 3.5, maybe 4 hours between pee breaks if I have made sure to let myself dehydrate before starting the drive.
