Rant: Bachelor party hangover
Rant: Rehearsal dinner tonight, parents are fighting, brother (best man) broke his leg this morning as a result of being hit by a car, but:
Rave: I'm marrying my best friend tomorrow.

Dan Congratulations! I hope you have a long, happy, wonderful, healthy marriage.

One thing my mother told me keeps my husband and I from fighting; we do not combine our money and never have. We do own things together but do not have joint checking accounts.

Rant: The STUPID error message!

Rave: We're going to the Florida Keys tomorrow morning and will be spending a month down there!

missjanna May 7th, 2004 11:22 AM

Rant: This damn error message on Fodors! Maybe Fodors got hit with the Sasser Worm??

Rave: It's a beautiful day here in NYC

Rant: Still adjusting to being back at work after being gone for 11 days in 90 degree and sunny weather! I wish I was still lying by the pool in Miami or on the beach in PR!!

Rave: Going to Mohegan Sun tomorrow with my BF and a friend of his.

Rant: Only hotel we could get a nearby booking at was an EconoLodge.

Rant: Here's what I want to know: We had to apologize for the disgusting photos, yet we never got an apology from Iraq's leaders for the treatment of our people after they were mutilated, dragged through the streets, burned alive and hung from bridges.

They have also said the pictures were upsetting because it's a sin for them to be photographed. Funny, but they didn't seem to mind being photographed when they were dancing in front of the bodies of our dead.

Sorry for getting political!!

Rave: It's Friday!! 2 more hours and I'm outta here!

vespertine May 7th, 2004 11:41 AM

The difference is that we're American. We should strive to be better than our enemies, not sink down to their level.
Yes they did horrible things, now we look just as bad. A picture of an American soldier giving the thumbs up sign over a beaten, dead body? Pics of skinned cows and severed cat heads??

Just what kind of lunatics do we have representing our beloved country?

The biggest rant of all is that their disgusting behaviour has endangered the good troops by fueling the hate.

They come from a third world country and have been brainwashed their whole lives. What's our excuse???

atilla May 7th, 2004 11:51 AM

Rave: Going to NYC for the first time 05/15 - 05/21!!

Rant: Was supposed to go with mom, best friend and her sister. Mom is stuck in the hospital in Italy, has been there almost 3 weeks now. Can't fly home due to blood clots in her legs. :-(

Rave: Mom is getting better and her homecoming will be most joyous!

Rave: Still going to NYC despite set-back.

elle May 7th, 2004 12:35 PM


I don't want to get too political, either, but I do have to comment re:

>>"we never got an apology from Iraq's leaders"<<

What leaders? It's total anarchy over there. Technically, the United States <i>is</i> Iraq's leader, at least until June 30.

Rave: Friends was satisfying and I will always be wondering about the phalanges on a plane from now on.

Rant: My husband cooked a goose liver last night(yuck) and now the whole house smells disgusting. Also, I learned today that one of our geese at work was hit by a car and died, and I can't help making a connection to what I saw in the pan last night.

kikahead May 7th, 2004 12:44 PM

Rave: Just found out my brother-in-law got his tourist visa approved and will be out here next Tuesday with his two daughters!!!

Rant: Gotta spend this weekend cleaning the house!

Rave: Sister is flying out from Chicago to run the Bay to Breakers!

Rant: Just threw out my stale tortillas--woulda saved them for her to throw had I known.


Scarlett May 7th, 2004 12:59 PM

elle, poor goose. poor you, the smell of some things should stay in the restaurant:)

Another Rave:
It was 89 here in Florida today.
Pup got his new haircut. He is slim trim and has a big nose.
My flowers that I planted yesterday are growing already!!

katybird May 7th, 2004 01:01 PM

Rave: Leaving for Southern Caribbean cruise tomorrow!
Rave: My daughter and her husband are meeting us in Puerto Rico and cruising with us!
Rant: Will I ever learn to pack light?

FainaAgain May 7th, 2004 01:14 PM

Rave: the San Jose weirdo did not try to hijack any of ChatNoir posts :) The fellow Borgs and Borgesses know what I mean!

Ani May 7th, 2004 01:35 PM

RAVE: My very first Mother's Day!
RANT: The end of Friends-so bummed!

travelinwifey May 7th, 2004 01:47 PM

A Big Fat Giant Rave: My beautiful niece is about to get her first Holy Communion...off to mass. Then celebrating dinner with family afterwords :)

soccr May 7th, 2004 01:53 PM

A &quot;phalange&quot; is another word for &quot;phalanx&quot;; but &quot;phalanges&quot; can refer to bones in your hands or feet. Phoebe used it as a phony surname on at least one occasion with a bizarre first name.

Rave: summer's here.

Rant: it's 90 and summer's here. I feel sleepy and stupid, not used to the heat.

Another NBC TV Rant: They're going to kill Donna off on West Wing.

jor May 7th, 2004 01:59 PM

missjanna, King George II supposedly had control of Iraq as of May 1, 2003. &quot;Mission Accomplished&quot;. What we are seeing from Iraq now is nothing short of pornography.

vacationdreamer May 7th, 2004 02:13 PM

Rave: The weather. Perfect summer day in NYC.

Rant: Tragic events around the world on everyone's minds cutting into carefree enjoyment of a beautiful summer day.

Rave: Was able to switch weekend Hamptons reservations in June for a different weekend with no problem even though it said no cancellation when I booked.

Rant: Fodor website errors.

Rave/rant: Verspertine's message reminding me how lucky we are, then making me fell guilty for complaining about lots of petty things in life considering how lucky we are. :)

Fodorite018 May 7th, 2004 02:53 PM

rant and rave--have had nonstop company since moving into our new home...4 different sets of guest in the last week and a half even...but they were great:)

rave--found a drive-in theater in a neighboring town so will take the kids to that tonight and relax!
