CAV of Gang Green Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Even though Japan and Egypt aren't in Europe? :P Nah, I know what your talking about. I would visit Egypt as an endurance challenge. If the Amazing Race is still around when I become of age, I would hope that Egypt is one of the places to visit. But the place I want to visit most of all right now is Holland, for rather obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I wasn't grouping those with my Europe statement. :P For me, Germany because my family is German. Egypt because I love the culture. For my husband, Ireland because his family is Irish. Japan because he loves the culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugrat0ne Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 No I haven't. Every one I've been has been to visit family, or family vacations. I don't know anyone in Vermont. I want to go all over Europe. Germany, Ireland, Japan, and Egypt are highest on my husband and I's To-Visit list. Well, I guess we'll have to get to know each other better so you have an excuse to visit. Not right now though, we're up to our Kaus in snow. Japan would be cool. So would Egypt. Heck, so would a lot of places. I'd love to have the money to just travel everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 :laughingsmiley: Ugh, snow seems to be so many place right now. I despise snow. (And I'll say no more CAV. :whistle: ) Me too. I just want to travel. Anywhere, everywhere. I want to see so many things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And I'll say no more CAV. :whistle: ) Snowstorm buried entire city. Most trains shut down. Most buses delayed. Stores closed down early. Very windy. And I love the snow. Sorry Spritzie. But even the slightest bit from you starts the law. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugrat0ne Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 You must have gotten more snow than we did in VT, CAV. Or else I'm so isolated here that I don't know what's going on outside my own yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wembly Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 We got almost 30 inches in like 14 hours here <_< The stupid storm got stuck right over us. Oh an don't forget the 40+ mph winds that are still blowing through. Stupid blizzards! We had to take the glass out of the front door to get out of the house since there was even too much snow to get out the window. Ridiculous!

rugrat0ne Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Wow. According to my little tape measure, I've only got about a foot of snow on the back deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritzie Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 In Mexico, just be aware that if you go to a Starbucks and ask for an iced drink, they will ask if you mean on the rocks. :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 ...Wait. So if you say yes they put rocks in your drink? :eh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 :laughingsmiley: No. "On the rocks" is a term for when you're drinking certain alcoholic drinks, and you just want it poured over ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Oh... I guess that makes more sense... xD ... Although now I wonder what a drink with rocks in it tastes like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I don't recommend trying it out. I can't imagine it would taste good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Ryan Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Yes but my extremely curious nature is compelling me to go get some rocks from the front yard and a cup filled with root beer... Stone soup story? Tell. :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Haha, too funny. It that conversation reminded me of that stone soup story they always tell to kids. I was thinking the same thing. I almost said it, but could remember where I heard it from. (Oh, and the "On the rocks" iced Starbucks thing did actually happen to me.)

-Ryan Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I'm not sure why, but I feel the need to mention that fudge soaked in rum is quite possibly the worst tasting thing ever. I had it once but I didn't know it had been soaked in rum. I took a bite and threw it away. And i'm not sure how but I think it was tied to the headache I had an hour later...

Wembly Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 So this is the stone soup story as told by wikipedia since I was too lazy to type it all. We were always told the story with animals as the main characters but none the less, the same principals apply. Some travelers come to a village, carrying nothing more than an empty pot. Upon their arrival, the villagers are unwilling to share any of their food stores with the hungry travelers. The travelers fill the pot with water, drop a large stone in it, and place it over a fire in the village square. One of the villagers becomes curious and asks what they are doing. The travelers answer that they are making "stone soup", which tastes wonderful, although it still needs a little bit of garnish to improve the flavor, which they are missing. The villager does not mind parting with just a little bit of carrot to help them out, so it gets added to the soup. Another villager walks by, inquiring about the pot, and the travelers again mention their stone soup which has not reached its full potential yet. The villager hands them a little bit of seasoning to help them out. More and more villagers walk by, each adding another ingredient. Finally, a delicious and nourishing pot of soup is enjoyed by all.

Spritzie Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 :laughingsmiley: That's right. I remember it now. My day has been okay. I have 20 minutes left of work, then I get to go sit at my husband's work until he gets off 3 hours after I do. o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
