What a fun idea

My idea is a bit odd...my back is so achy, and the hammock helped a bit today, so I have that on my mind right now. So...I would like to be laying in a hammock in Venice at the Cafe Florian listening to the dueling orchestras. It would belater in the evening and warm with no breeze. Geez that sounds heavenly right now!!!

Okay, 60 minutes for you, GoT - but only because you are the founder of this new (and happy) group.

What to name it? Fodors' SNL as someone else suggested?

I would be with GoT on DJ's boat in 1985!!! Well, maybe I'd prefer to be on DJ's boat in 1985 WITHOUT GT...if you know what I mean. I wouldn't mind being with Andy Garcia anywhere in the world, though. Let's leave that for another thread.

Colin Farrel is playing DJ in the movie...he's cute, but not DJ cute. No way.

P_M....closing time here has always been 4:00 a.m. Yikes!

Hi, BG. So you can drink until 4? Interesting. If my middle aged senile memory is correct, many clubs stayed open until 4, but could not serve alcohol after 2 per state law. So in order to pay the overhead from 2 to 4 they would sell soft drinks and food instead. I always thought this was a good idea, because this way people could eat something and maybe the alcohol would wear off before driving home.

Along the lines of Kevin Bacon and 7 Degrees of Separation... my best friend from high school's son played a young Colin Farrell in "A Home at the End of the World". Won rave reviews for his part in the movie.

Oh gads, I feel guilty becasue my late dear husband was so much fun..we often went out to dinner, then drinks and dancing and then an early morning breakfast. Guess I was married to the original "party boy". He was so much fun! But I still laugh as inspite of his Stanford degree he didn't know how to do the laundry, run the dishwasher etc. Or maybe that was because he was to clever to ever learn

Anyway, I will obviously qualify for the LL Club. CinCin!!

LoveItaly--I know we have chatted about this before, but I got a giggle out of your description of your late husband. SO many of the same characteristics as mine, lol!

Saturday Night Losers works for me!


Sad, Statia gets the 'What's Your Poison' Friday night happy hour thread and I get the 'Saturday Night Loser' thread.

What am I doing wrong in this life?

I do however get loser points for obsessing about Miami Vice.

I'll join in! But I'm only drinking diet coke. and I don't even have the TV on in the background. Even my dog is sleeping. DO I qualify?

GracieB, certainly you will have the body ! When you wiggle your nose everything will be perfect for that 30, or 60 minutes.

I personally will be somewhere in Europe...anywhere..it can be a surprise..as long as it's Europe.

Hi seetheworld, I believe it was on Oxygen. Sorry I didn't see your message sooner--I gave up after posting and went to bed.

Mr.GoTravel came home around 12:30AM to find me dancing around the computer listening to Latin music while the cats were hiding under the bed.

Such a loser am I.

Okay, I'll fess up to a six week spree of watching the Real Housewives of O.C.
To me, it was less a documentary and more of a comedy. Then, they had a reunion, talk about a shock- they had stayed exactly the same,lol.
As Napoleon Dynamite would have said, Booby shirts, tennis lessons, luckeeeee!

Jetset, when do you suppose they will do one of those reality shows about real women who don't possess boob jobs, mansions, etc.? You know, the ones who make their way in the frozen north of Alaska or hot, humid south of Louisiana??? ;-)

Hello, GoTravel! I wouldn't worry....now if you start hiding under the bed (w/ that vodka lime popsicle) then call me, b/c then you will need an intervention! But, for now, not to worry. Give the cats a kiss from me! My guy is here in my lap witching me type.....as usual!
Who's going to win the US Open? Can Philly get a hat trick? Wouldn't it be something if he won this & then the British in July and the PGA in August?
