    ahhhhh........returned from my latest travels.........Caribean Sea is still there.......snorkeled every day, stingrays, grouper, every colour of the spectrum displayed by the multitude of fish............a steady temperature of 80 degrees day and night.......several weeks of beveridges........always happy hour there........and the maids cleaned my mess, as opposed to working around it.......but I am a 'big tippper' as well, and so garnered their good will.......................
    NOt a working holiday Papayahed,unlike you, unless you count working on my tan as work..........and the only eye patches I say were on the pirates.......... and as for the bible you 'liberated', I am sure the Mormons would be flattered, not forming a rebuke for your sticky fingers. Of course, we can rationalize anything we wish........but still love ya'......

    Brilliant. Next question: How much fun is it to drink with ex coworkers who are professional drinkers????

    I'm traveling again. This time its purely for pleasure.

    So, I come home for the weekend and come to find out my best friend is in town this weekend as well (she also lives out of state). Can we really consider ourselves best friends if we don't know the other is in town????

    You've just reminded me, papayahed - some years ago I went round the Hershey factory and there was a huge notice hanging over the Kisses' production line, saying (in big black capital letters):

    IMPROPERLY WRAPPED KISSES MUST BE REPROCESSED

    I wanted a copy of that for use with future boy-friends!

    And the Mormon Bible? We had a friend who was a member of the Gideon Society - he came to stay with us and noticed we didn't have a copy of the Bible by the bed in our guest room, so on his departure he ceremoniously presented one to us. Fortunately he wrote in it or I would have had to explain to every subsequent guest that no, I hadn't nicked it from a hotel....So give it back - never mind God, just think of all the explaining you're going to have to do.

    Even better, I say you post it to the hotel tomorrow!

    Just remember to wear gloves while holding the envelop and wipe the book well so that your finger prints cannot be traced back to you.

    (Needless to say, change your handwriting while writing the address! Or ask someone else to write it for you... And bin the pen next time you are in a park.)

    hmmm, maybe I'll wait till I'm in North Carolina that way they can't trace the postage mark back to Louisiana.

    This channel maybe monitored, perhaps I should go underground..

    but if this is monitored, then you have given a clue! How about posting it to a friend in a farther state and get them to post it for you!

    You know you can identify the printers by comparing print...
