That reminds me, I got a picture, for CO 1E, of a rather large light fixture that was hanging from the ceiling in the room at the Sheraton in PRG.

Funny story, I think. In Italy we had rented a BWM 1 series since it was the cheapest automatic so my wife could take a turn driving it. Suffice to say I just made it inside with the seat all the way back, all the way down and in a recline only a few degrees short of 'banging. We pulled into a gas station on the highway and I got out to visit their quickee mart when the gas attendant saw me get out and couldn't believe his eyes. I think that they popped out of his head. :o:rolleyes::-::D

We rented a full size car in DUB and the first car we tried I could physically not get my legs in. After my compatriots recovered from their sudden paroxysms of mirth, we got a different car. :rolleyes:

Great news! :cool:

The living room looks close (although, a different orientation) but the master bedroom was a little different.


It looks like you had a room on the 7th floor in September?

Ladies and gentlemen (and the rest of you too),

I would like to present post 6,000. This accomplishment has been the bane of several keyboards and no less than six separate but equally glorious PWP events. I would like to thank beer, and tell the academy to piss off. Good night!

Kisses,

Mackieman

300M is a big car you could probably fit in, also a piece of junk.

I just love the analog dash clock. :rolleyes:

I like the wavy floor, in an odd sort of way. :D

Her Mom is kinda out of the picture, so some of the planning\thoughts\ideas are getting passed onto dear old dadwalker.
I was married once, come to think of it to her mom, but ours was a formal shotgun wedding-her dad painted the gun white.
I'm kidding, about the paint at least.
We got married just across the border(actually south of the border-yes those signs on I-95) so not much planning on our part, come to think of it planning or the lack there of played into the need for gun paint.
I have no idea what a wedding should cost. She was ready just to fly out to LAS and do a package deal at Venetian but I'd like her grandparents to attend their only grandchild's wedding and not certain they are up to long distance travel any more(still quizzing them on that)
so we are exploring options closer to home

They offer AAA members a VERY good rate

How about "usens"?

Yeah, fun for rentals but I would never own one.

Tell her to pick the two or three things that are most important to her and focus on those. Don't worry about everything else. And, as someone who paid for his own wedding (and is still paying), you can spend as much as you like. I was all for her parents, my parents, and a judge but she wanted a wedding. It didn't need to be huge or anything, but she had just a few things that she really wanted, and so we made those happen. The added benefit for us was that because we paid for almost everything, no one could lord over us what did or did not need to happen. I had no problems telling people with demands to write a check or piss off. :-:

Hotwire informs me:
You saved
$660.81
in 2009 with Hotwire.


Interesting, I didn't use them at al after I became hotwire express member. I did not trust them as much after getting a chevy cobalt as a rental at hertz :D

That thing was a barely road legal barbie car with about the same pep.
