Yes, it's illegal to hitchhike in some places. Dunno about Oz, but he was being all fraud-y. And loudly ignoring Dana when she's being calm, reasonable, and right? Kinda rude.
They're calling them Almond Snickers now.
OH! Ok. Well, that's fine then. :)
moonlit - from a gajillion posts ago, that's exactly the type of information I was looking for, but I think time and tide have taken the reason for asking far away from me. But thank you. I think I'm learning more just reading your posts than I ever have.
You're welcome Cindy, and I am still really sorry that I offended you a couple of weeks ago with the
moi aussi
comment, as you have hopefully realised by now it was never my intention.
moonlit - I had forgotten that. I actually went to apologize to you and, I forget what happened to distract me from doing so, but I really was snappy and touchy and I think I was bringing real life emotions into a civilized conversation. I'm sorry that you even felt you had to apologize.
You know, now that I think about it, I
haven't
seen a $100,000 bar in the longest time...
I also used to be abnormally fond of frozen Charleston Chews.
Are we back? Are we really back?
Yes, we're back.
I just had to post this, from yesterday's (Friday's) NY Times. It's about all the looting (which bugs me about the hospitals but NSM about places like Aziz' palaces):
"The looters appeared, mainly, to concentrate on sites associated with Mr. Hussein, sparing most private homes and businesses.
Among the attacks that had a strong political edge were those on the German Embassy and the French cultural center, both in east Baghdad. Few Iraqis were unaware, in the weeks preceding the war, that France and Germany were leading international efforts to force President Bush into accepting an extension of United Nations weapons inspections here, and to delay military action against Mr. Hussein.
The French and German buildings were stripped of furniture, curtains, decorations, and anything else that could be carried away.
At the French cultural center, where looters burst water pipes and flooded the ground floor, books were left floating in the reading rooms and corridors, and a photograph of Jacques Chirac, the French president, was smashed."
I'm chortling with sympathy! C'mon, no matter how you felt about the war this is funny.
