“Ha! No, when I decide to drink beer, I drink the real thing. I figure it's like soda. Diet soda just makes you want more of the real thing. I figure diet beer is the same.”

“How can folks in your state plan a happy 4th weekend? This sucks:State parks may stay open

"A message to the public regarding possible shutdown of Minnesota State Park facilities

Although we are hopeful that the Minnesota Legislature and Governor Pawlenty will reach an agreement to fund state government operations by June 30, if an agreement is not reached, campgrounds, lodging, restrooms and day-use areas in Minnesota State Parks and State Forests will close by 4 p.m. on Thursday, June 30, 2005."

“Road trip! We're heading up to the Pacific Northwest for my niece's wedding and then a family reunion. Trip report when I return!”

“hahaha... hadn't looked back at this thread and then see dayhiker just immediately posted what I would have to hikergerb's comments (I was thinking it even BEFORE he made the comment about making the wife happy, lol, that was icing on the cake)

NS, yeah, I posted an update yesterday on a different thread about MN gov. shutting down. Where ya been?? lol I cancelled reservations I had. I understand our local state park had to tell people that wanted to hold a family reunion there that they better go elsewhere, no guarantees.

I heard last night there may be some half-assed plan signed that at least keeps the parks open, which is BS. MN is a BS state.”

“lizs - it's scary how much we think alike at times. Maybe that's why when we fight, we REALLY fight!!!”

“

"MN is a BS state."
lizs

Of course. Too many people from Iowa living there.

“If you drag a body board behind a go-kart on Long Island, as seems to be your plan, you'll probably die on Monday.

A buddy of mine's brother-in-law tried to (get this) PARASAIL behind a truck, launching by having the truck drag him on a skateboard on a long country road. Rope got tangled up somehow, he fell, got dragged. Months in the hospital.

Don't try that, maple.”

“Mine was non-day specific. You did the whole hour-by-hour Sat-Sun-Mon-Tue gig. Pffft. And mine was mysteriously intriguing. You told us infinite details such as what you'll be wearing each day and that you'll be skipping church and getting drunk and all that stuff. I'm like, ooOOooOOookay then.
