=====================
 
-> -> I've always wondered about people who complained about being forced
to

commodities,
-> -> what's the problem.  Fresh tropical fruit from a tree in the back
yard? 
-> -> Geckos in the rafters?
-> -> 
-> Lots of people don't like Hawaii for one reason.....

-> direction you drive, you're gonna end up at the BEACH!
-> For some folks that's never an issue (me, I loved it!)

And for this they complain?  You just can't please some people.  Forced to
spend time on a beach, and they're yelling. 

-> for others it gives them a sort of claustrophobic effect
-> that they can't seem to shake and they begin to hate
-> the island and everything island! Those that get "island
-> happy" can't wait to get off the island...and don't understand
-> the other people who aren't "island happy".

I guess I can understand the trapped feeling, but you can get that
anywhere.  
 
-> -> ...and still make like a lazy slob until it lets up?  This sounds
like a

-> -> 
-> Making like a lazy slob is not really a good reference as a slob
-> would not keep trying to get up and do stuff. My sister in law 

Nope - better to be a smart and lazy slob than an idiot who tries to keep
working when he should be playing couch potato.

-> (Anne's younger sister) is a licensed Massage Practioner and used

-> for my back!

Ouch.  She didn't know how to dial it down?  I was working on someone
tonight that I couldn't rub hard enough.  The muscles were headed for
concrete stage.  Other times if someone's spasming out you have to go
gently at least at first. I'm a rank amateur and even I know that much.
 
-> -> They aren't cheap.  A decent mattress topper might be an alternative;
you

that
-> -> first and if you like it you can always go all in later.  Overstock
and

-> 
-> Thanks I'll look!

Can't hurt to look.  Just to sit up long enough to look....
 
-> -> I do drink occasionally, just very moderately.  I actually like beer;
I
-> -> just rarely drink it.  I sometimes like wine, and would have no
problem
-> -> trying out single malts.  Armagnac is wonderful stuff, as is buffalo
grass
-> -> vodka.  The latter I can find because there's a good-sized Russian

Jews
-> -> leave.
-> ->   
-> Armagnac is good! vodka I can leave alone and never feel
-> as if I've missed anything of worth! 

It depends on the vodka.  The buffalo grass-flavored stuff is pretty darned
good.  It's a totally different thing than the regular flavored ones,
because unlike the Stoli Blueberri or whatever it's a traditional flavoring
that's been used since the Poles first started making the stuff.  Or the
Russians - depends on who you ask.
