Re: “Father's day line”
Mr. larock...I've been thinking about what you said: Darlings, no man wants to be "Dads wants it all".
While you made that point in a mean way, there actually IS a point to it. I can only speak for what goes on in my own house, but my hubby absolutely does NOT want to have/do it all.
He doesn't want to clean house, do laundry, buy groceries, cook, take care of the (7) dogs, oversee our business and personal matters, shop for anything, manage our property out of state, maintain our 22 acre yard, keep up with maintenance requirements on three vehicles, oversee renovation on our house, fix things that are broken.....the list goes on and on.
What he does want to do is the 7 day a week, 15+ hour a day job he has, and to be the very best there is at that job. And he is.
But you know how he can be the best at this grueling job he has? Because I do every single thing mentioned in paragraph three, and more. At this phase of my life, I have the job I want too.
But if I did want to have a full time job away from home (which I did for over 30 years), he would support me 100% and figure out what duties he would have to take on to make sure it happened.....just like most partners do in every home around the country.
It's not a battle. It is just figuring out how to make it work. If someone "wants it all" (man or woman), and can figure out how to get it.......good for them!
Re: “Father's day line”
Sister....glad you and the Mrs. are back home safe and sound. It sounds like a wonderful trip, with the exception of the mind control cult-like activity that took up your whole beach twice a day. Those pictures you sent were pretty creepy....sort of like hundreds of monks, only dressed in colorful modern clothes.
Some of those kids would have probably agreed to anything to get a few days at the beach so maybe this was just a small concession for them, even though it seems like a large imposition on all of the other people who had paid to stay at that condo to have beach privileges. I wonder how many of the people with reservations were told 600 kids would also be staying at the facility. That would have been a deal breaker for me.
Perhaps this was some sort of training program sponsored by the Republican Party or Fox News for future recruits. If so, a whole lot of other folks to the center and left better get on those praying beach towels to counter the process.

Olphart...thank you for sharing your day and your friend David. He was lucky to have you in his life.
Re: “Open Line”
A few days ago on another thread, I listed a few things I feared. One of them was NOT a same sex couple in a commercial on television, as Mr. Huckabee suggested.
However, I guess I need to add another thing to the items I do fear. Hubby checked into his high rise hotel in Mexico City last night at 11:59 pm. At 12:23am, he sends a video taken in his room as a 5.8 earthquake was occurring in Mexico City.

Re: “Monday line”
A tip for travelers. Hubby received this hotel scam notice today:
HOTEL / MOTEL SCAM
You arrive at your hotel and check in at the front desk. When checking in, you give the front desk your credit card (for all the charges for your room). You get to your room and settle in.
Someone calls the front desk and asks (for example) Room 620 - which happens to be your room. The phone rings in your room. You answer and the person on the other end says the following:
"This is ____ at the front desk. When checking in, we came across a problem with your charge card information. Please re-read your credit card number and verify the last 3 digits on the reverse side of your charge card."
Not thinking anything, you might give this person this information, since the call seems to come from the front desk. But actually, it is a scam by someone calling from outside the hotel/front desk. They ask for a random room number. Then, ask you for credit card information and address information. They sound so professional, you give it to them, thinking you are talking to the front desk.
If you encounter this situation, tell the caller that you will come to the front desk to clear up any problems. Then go to the front desk and ask if there was a problem. If there was none, inform the manager of the hotel that someone called to scam you of your credit card information, saying they are a front desk employee.
