Ask LA anything...........................

[LostArt]

Yep, you heard right. Ask me anything. I'll try and answer any questions you may have. I don't consider myself all that complex or confusing. And I figure I'm an open book most of the time, as far as my hobbies, political matters, family issues, and work ethics, but if you have any questions, shoot! :D

[BigClive]

OK. Which visual attribute do you find the sexiest in a man?

[Highplains Drifter]

Dear LA, I have been married nearly a year. My wife and I were together for five years before that. I am her fourth husband.

What's bothering me is she gets most of her mail delivered to her mother's -- things such as her cell phone bill, her paychecks, etc. Everything she owns is in storage in another town. She makes all her phone calls from work and never receives any at home.

I saw her credit report. She has taken out loans I know nothing about.

I love my wife with all my heart, but am I right to think a marriage isn't supposed to be this way? I feel she has two lives......

[LostArt]

OK. Which visual attribute do you find the sexiest in a man?

Shoulders. Yeah, I'm serious. :D

Then eyes, smile........

She does have two lives. I'm glad you love her, but jeeze....you had 5 yrs to figure her out before marrying her. Most of us didn't get that advantage! :D

Swamp, I'm not just any ole Democrat. Although, I'm too darn stubborn to change my party. I'm pretty conservative and a traditionalist. I'm not really sure what I am to tell you the truth! :D

There are some issues that I hold dear and I have posted about here and there, but other than that.....I kinda stay out of politics. Or at least I keep some opinions to myself. Just the way I am, I guess.

Hey dancing is a great sport!!! http://bestsmileys.com/dancing/7.gif It is the last place where a man can still be the leader!!! http://bestsmileys.com/movingeyes/5.gif Just remember on the dance floor a lady is a picture and the man the frame. It is that some frames are better than others.

I remember my kids laughing when I did the Swim, the Twist, and the Pony. Now, I know some of you older coots remember those dances! I'm sure I looked ridiculous doing them for my "cool" kids. :D They even asked me, "Mom, did you dance to those as a teenager?" I laughed and said, "No, I think that would of been as I was a toddler." :D

My husband can't dance a lick. The very few times we have had the chance to dance, I danced with our friends that did. And if I'm standing or sitting(I'm usually moving with the beat) while music is going on, he will turn to a friend and say, "Will you please dance with her?" :D

He won't admit it, but he loves listening to me sing.

My wife and I took lessons for 1 1/2 years about 15 years ago. Like Swamp said if you don't use it you loose it. I can still Waltz, Foxtrot, and Swing. Sometimes I think I remember the Rumba and the latin Hustle until I get going, then I realize it is just the alchohol. I wish we had kept it up. But Mrs. Duck doesn't like to practice or stay out past 10:00. That sort of limits the dancing.

I KNEW it was someone else here that said that they did dancing with their wives! :D

My neighbor girlfriend and I said we would love learning all those dances. We know our husbands wouldn't do it. She then says, "Okay, which one of us is the male model?" I laughed and said, "You are taller. So, it's you!" :D

Honestly. Most of the men I know, do not dance. Seriously. I don't think they really care about it. That's why I think it's so cool some of you do! :D

I'd LOVE to dance but I'm not to good either (maybe after a few {20 or so}copper tops).:D My wife's the one who hates dancing or even any attention. A friend of ours asked me if I thought she would want to and I just laughed. The friend is our farrier and the next week she was over to trim our horses. That day (AT LUNCH TIME) the wife called and said those famous words...."Ya know, I've been thinking"....I couldn't believe it!:eek:

The rest is history!

[THE KID]

always love it when we went out with friends and the guys wouldn't dance till they had a few. Always allowed me to dance with 3 or 4 women at least a couple of dances. Took dance lessons Waltz, foxtrot, ballroom but my partner could never remember which was her left and which was her right. I suggested she put on roller skates and just let me push her around the room. That went over like a lead balloon.

[LostArt]

Well, I'm glad you got her to dance with you MI. But, the Boss has to have a "few" to loosin' up himself. He has danced with me and I always grin when we do. I mean......you just have to see him. He is so cute! Most of the time he just says, "I'd rather watch you dance....from here."(off the dance floor) :D

Thanks girl! No, not on vacation. Just haven't been on the computer much lately. Swamp gave me a few calls. Even got ahold of my husband last Friday. It was funny. The Boss answers the phone and Swamp asks if I'm okay. Swamp says he hasn't seen me online (on this site) in awhile and was I okay. My husband says, "Yeah, she's fine." I don't know what else he said to Swamp. But, he tells me when I get home, "Hey, those Linemen on the site are worried about you. One called today. How 'bout letting them know you are living." I said, "Was it Swamp that called?" He said he guessed it was. I then asked was the site okay? He says, "I think so. He didn't mention it not being okay. You need to go tell them guys you are alright woman." LOL!

He is the one that has been on the computer lately! Lookin' for a boat. :D

Don’t be a typical female and go straight for the head! Yes there are other body areas with hair.

It is called attitude and your question has the negative( partly cloudy first ) for me it is always sunny some days are brighter than others.

Can you "daydream" at night?

The Power of a Woman

'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.

If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.

If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.

If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.

If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.

She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.

So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of ****.'

Do I look fat?



LOL! I was waiting on this one Loodvig. :D

Now if I ask my husband anything to do with my appearrance he asks a question back.

"Is this one of your trick questions dear?"


The last "trick" question I asked (yesterday) was, "What do you think? Should I cover up my gray? This is no trick question dear. Just your honest opinion, okay?"

There is always a pause. Finally he says, "How do you feel about the gray?" I laugh and say, "I kinda like it, but everyone is saying I look old."

He grins and then says, "Okay, now that comment is the "trick" comment." LOL! I tell him all the time I'll never get a big head as long as I'm married to him! :D

[Edge]

LA I think the reason they are "trick" questions or comments is because you already no the answer... your just looking for reassurance that you decision is right...

If you have to ask "am I to fat?) well then you prolly are don't as me just do something about it if it upsets you that much...

;P

[electriklady]

LA,

I think if men were more complimentary once in a blue moon many women wouldnt have to ask "the trick questions" but you know what they say..........men are from mars and women are from venus.....they are just hardwired different than women

but what on earth would we do without the "martians"......they kinda grow on ya!;):rolleyes:

[THE KID]

Electriklady and LA,

I think one of the biggest differences and sometimes problems. Most women aren't as active as men. They don't want to go out if it is a little cold or if they think they are going to sweat. I'm 41 and live life like i'm in my late 20 or early 30 and no i'm not going thru a mid-life crisis. I know that I only live once and I want to live it too the fullest... LIFE is to enjoy and not always lay around on the couch.

Just my opinion.

[LostArt]

This is just now getting good! :D

Actually the Boss and I love the outdoors---and most of the year we spend it outside---nice to live in Florida. I love my yard, but this time of year, there really isn't much to do. Which is probably why I spend my winter vacations(two weeks) working on the inside of my house. My winter project this year is painting our bedroom and guest bathroom---sewing a few accessaries.

I don't think I have ever asked, "Do I look fat?" question. Now, I have gotten the occassional, "Are you wearing that?" Talk about TRICK questions! Like you guys don't ask those! Cracks me up. I don't have to ask them.....he usually does! :D

EL, my husband isn't one to give alot of compliments. I've grown use to it. But, when he does, I always say "thank you" It's funny though. If a male friend of his gives me compliments he says (with a grin), "Don't tell her that. I can't control her now."

I do think it's sad how women are suppose to keep their physical appearrance up, when most men don't. It's true. It's like calling the kettle black, in my opinion.

LA, I have never asked, "do I look....anything?"......I have a mirror and if I wanna know how I look......I look in it. My rule of thumb is....if I am happy with the way I look, I consider myself to have fairly good taste....then that is good enough for me. If you dont like getting gray hair(which I didnt) and youd like to "maximize" your appearance(as I call it;)) I say "go for it girl" but if it is just because someone made a callous comment and you are happy with the way you look......stay just the way you are. I myself am still trying to find out who has more fun....blondes, brunettes, or redheads....I may have even thrown a "plum color" in there a couple of times. In my case I am pretty sure it is not "gray" that has the most fun.
I agree there is a "double standard" when it comes to keeping appearances up......it is expected that women should, and it seems a lot of men are more concerned with their significant other staying attactive than themselves. But on the other hand I have seen attractive women let themselves go after they get married, gain a lot of weight, no makup, dont do their hair etc...that is wrong too. It is a two way street in my book.

And to The Kid, if I never liked goin outside when it was a little too cold or I was afraid I was gonna sweat......I'd never go to work:D......but I agree there are a lot of women like that....I think I have spent far more time in my life outside than in, but have to admit the older I get...at the end of a cold a$$ winter day...the last thing I wanna do is go back out in it. A tropical island might be the answer to that problem.;)

[THE KID]

have too admite that both of you sound like you are very out going. There needs to be more women like you two!!!

[MI-Lineman]

LA,

I think if men were more complimentary once in a blue moon many women wouldnt have to ask "the trick questions" but you know what they say..........men are from mars and women are from venus.....they are just hardwired different than women

but what on earth would we do without the "martians"......they kinda grow on ya!;):rolleyes:

Hey come on MAN HATER! JUST KIDDING!:D I always tell my wife how beautiful she is but she's the one (this could be another thread!) wired differently! She's not lovey dovey and hates attention!

She's a strong one though and takes great care of our children!:)

[electriklady]

MI......:rolleyes:....no man hater here......Just a people observer.....I have been a moonlighting bartender(aka drink pouring psychologist) for many years, and while a bar is not an optimal setting to observe people, it really doesnt distort people's personalities, as many people think, it just brings personality traits out in the open. I have far more male friends than women cause in my opinion women have a lot more shortcomings than men......plus women are not nearly so nice to look at;)

some guys just need a little "fine tuning" at times......women...well no fine tuning is gonna work with them....they is what they is...which I have to admit is sometimes scarey.....emotional and needy ...as a male friend once put it.

I look at it this way......if there was no difference between us....who the hell would each of us have to drive each other bonkers......oh yeah, I forgot....there is still our kids:D

Dear LA,

I've heard about a bar where you can drink for free and get lucky everytime you go there. I've been looking for it for a long time and haven't had any success. My wife won't tell me where it is.........

Can you?

I came crawling home last night, like many nights before:
I finally made it to my feet as she opened up the door.
And she said, "You're not gonna do this anymore."

She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino to decorate our home,
"So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam.
"We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall.
"And a neon sign, to point the way, to our bathroom down the hall."

She said: "Just bring your Friday paycheck, and I'll cash them all right here.
"And I'll keep on tap - for all your friends, their favorite kinds of beer.
"And for you, I'll always keep in stock, those soft aluminum cans.
"And when you're feeling macho, you can crush them like a man."

She said: "We'll rip out all the carpet, and put sawdust on the floor.
"Serve hard boiled eggs and pretzels, and I won't cook no more.
"There'll be Monday night football, on T.V. above the bar.
"And a pay phone in the hallway, when your friends can't find their car."

She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino to decorate our home,
"So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam.
"We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall.
"And a neon sign, to point the way, to our bathroom down the hall."

She said: "You'll get friendly service, and for added atmosphere.
"I'll slip on something sexy, and I'll cut it clear to here.
"Then you can slap my bottom, every time you tell a joke.
"Just as long as you keep tipping, well, I'll laugh until you're broke."

She said: "Instead of family quarrels, we'll have a bar-room brawl,
"When the Ham's bear say's its closing time, you won't have far to crawl.
"And when you run out of money, you'll have me to thank.
"You can sleep it off next morning, when I'm putting it in the bank."

She said: "I'm gonna' hire a wino, to decorate our home,
"So you can feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam.
"When you and your friends get off from work, and have a powerful thirst.
"There won't be any reason, why you can't stop off here first."

I was painting our bedroom yesterday and was on a step ladder. I guess I thought I was on the last step. Nope. I fell, lost my balance, hit the floor hard on my butt, my head hit a chair, and knocked over the paint can. I didn't think I was going to be able to move, but I was reaching for the can so it wouldn't empty ALL the paint on the carpet! After sitting up for a few seconds, when I didn't see stars anymore, I hoped I could stand.

It wasn't long after I fell, the Boss comes in and says, "What the hell happened to you?" For some reason, the look on his face threw me into giggles, but I was hobbling around to sit down. After I quit laughing, I told him. Then he asks, "How can you miss judge two steps? That's all that's on the step stool?" And there I go again, giggling.

I hurt all over. Mainly my back. I have enough padding on my behind that it is the only thing that isn't sore. I feel like I've jarred everything into a different position. I couldn't sleep much last night. There was no comfortable position inwhich to lay.

Good news is new carpet will be laid. Bad news is I still have half the room to paint. And the soreness will begin to fade. I hope.

And what is my advice to this? Remember, there are only TWO steps on the step ladder. :D

I didn't mention this before here----it makes me grin when I think of it-----but, I get light headed when I'm a few feet off the ground. No lie! LOL!

[LINCRW]

Yeah, it's a gay bar. I wouldn't recommend it. :D

Sounds like you have a lot of experience if you can recommend or not recommend it..... I'll have to take your word for it.

(Or maybe that's just a British thing.)

[electriklady]

Where the heck are ya? havent seen ya on here lately?:(

[LostArt]

Sorry guys. I think I mentioned somewhere that I fell. Well, I fell twice in one week. :eek: I'm fine, it's just taking awhile to recoup. Hurts to sit at the computer for long.

Koga, what do you have on your mind here lately? Ummm???? Alot of times it's what I call a busy mind. Relax that mind bubba! :D But, if it's not that, then I would recommend some exercising before bedtime and maybe some warm milk.

If it persists, go to the doctor. ;-)

[LostArt]

EL, my oldest child turned 29 today. Yep, she is forever young. We went shopping yesterday. Had a blast. It's so nice to have your daughter as a friend. Spending mother and daughter time is nice. I know I love spending time with my mother and our relationship now. I'm so thankful for these close relationships. I take it for granted until I hear some mothers and daughters don't have one. I can't even imagine that.

Happy Birthday to LA's Daughter! :D

[electriklady]

LA, glad you are all right, minus some aches and pains from your falls. I can relate to it being tough to sit at the "puter" too long if you are in pain.

My oldest daughter will turn 29 the 29th of January(hey we were both goin thru our first pregnancy at the same time, lol) I have mentioned previously she is pursuing her PhD, so until a few weeks ago she lived at home(monetary reasons) well she got her own apt. the beginning of January so she and I have spent a lot of time together shopping(for the apt), she actually calls me to find out how I cook certain dishes, etc but I am glad she is on her own now, I am sure our relationship will stay close, it would get a little strained while she lived here as we are far too much a like to live together as adults. It is funny to see her adopt a lot of my ways, I have just started to notice it the last 6 months or so, it is no longer...."I have all the answers, I think I will ask mom." which is kinda cool. My babies have grown up.......
She has told me about her best friend who has no relationship with her mother as the mother is a drug addict and in and out of jail a lot. I feel sorry for the girl as she never had a relationship with her mom. You are right...it is nice to have that with your children, especially daughters. I can't imagaine not having a relationship with my daughters either

[LostArt]

I know what you mean. For a while in 2008, both of our children were living with us. It was only for 3 months, but still....I know what you mean. The funny thing is, they have lived on their own after they graduated from school (1999 and 2000). So, they were looking to "get out" as quickly as we wanted them to. :D They are close too, her brother and her. As you can see, they are doorsteps.

My daughter and I never had any sisters. In a way, I think this is as close as we will get. :D

I fell again yesterday. Nothing hurt. More or less just lost my balance. It was going from the boat to the deck when unloading. The Boss says, "****, as agile as a cat, aren't you? Can't take you anywhere anymore." Which sent me into fits of laughter. :D


Why doesn't McDonald's sell hotdogs? I've often wondered this. I guess since Ronald is a huge wiener, they don't need to?

At a movie theater which arm rest is yours? If I'm on the left, it's the right. If I'm on the right, it's the left. I'm never in the middle. I don't know why really.

What is Satan's last name? Does he need one?

Why do doctors leave the room when you change? It would be a strip tease. They're going to see you naked anyway.

Where does the toetag go on a dead person if they don't have toes? Wee Wee Wee.....I'm not sure but, I'd want to go home!

If your driving a federal owned car, and you run a stop sign, is it considered a felony? I'm going with a federal offense.

Why is there a disclaimer on the Allstate Auto Insurance commericals that says "Not available in all states"? Heh. Google NON STATE Grove. I rest my case. :D

If you dug a hole through the center of the earth,and jumped in, would you stay at the center because of gravity? Interesting. However, I have never wanted to commit suicide.

If a person dies and then springs back to life, do they get their money back for the coffin? Why? They will need it eventually.

If you are asked to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and your the main witness, what if you say "no"? Hehehehe......I hope I get the chance.

Do they bury people with their braces on? Which braces? Braces in the teeth, arm, legs...?

How far east can you go before you're heading west? How far west can you go to head east?

How does a Real Estate company sell its office without causing confusion? LOL! I actually saw one real estate sign selling another real estate office yesterday! So, I guess they have another realtor to do it. Too funny.

Do dentists go to other dentists or do they just do it themselves? I'm going with what the surgens do. Heh.

If, in a baseball game, the batter hits a ball splitting it right down the center with half the ball flying out of the park and the other half being caught, what is the final ruling? I'm going with the batter by giving him a double hit.

If you were to get drunk in a country where the drinking limit is under 21, and went to the states and were still over the limit, could they arrest you for underage drinking even though you did not do the drinking in the states. This question makes me drunk.

Why do people think that swaying their arm back and forth would change the direction of a bowling ball? Same reason they sway their arms to walk maybe?

If girls with large breasts work at Hooters, then do girls with one leg work at IHOP? LOL!

Why is it that everyone driving faster than you is considered an idiot and everyone driving slower than you is a moron? I'm glad I'm the slower driver. Have you read the definition of an idiot? Heh.

If pro and con are opposites, wouldn't the opposite of progress be congress? Hehehehehe.....

Why does grape flavor smell the way it is when actual grapes don't taste or smell anything like it. More sugar in grape flavor

If a lesbian has sex with other women but never with another man is she still considered a virgin? Nope. She lost her virgin modesty.

If a kid refuses to sleep during nap time, are they guilty of resisting a rest? Yep, and to everyone else's unrest.

Is it rude for a deaf person to talk (sign) with their mouth full of food? Only to another deaf person.

If its 11:30 PM Dec 31 in Texas and 12:30 AM Jan 1st in New York and you have a New York driver's license that expires Jan 2007, does that mean your license has expired? I'm southern, I'm going with Texan laws. :D

What's the difference between normal ketchup and fancy ketchup? Not a thing unless the fancy is Heniz.

If a transvesite goes missing, would youu put their face on a carton of Half and Half? LOL!

Why is the Lone Ranger called 'Lone' if he always has his Indian friend Tonto with him? He's not a native?
When does it stop being partly cloudy and start being partly sunny? I like the phrase, "Good to middling."

Are eyebrows considered facial hair? What expression are you going for????

If a baby's leg pops out at 11:59PM but his head doesn't come out until 12:01, which day was he born on? Ask his mother.

In the song Yankee Doodle, is he calling the horse or the feather "macaroni"? I'm going with the hat.

Is there a time limit on fortune cookie predictions? I've never tasted a bad fortune cookie. I'm going with no.

Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round? For those of us that don't like bread ends. Right, the bread goes round for me unless it's toasted.

Do they have the word "dictionary" in the dictionary? Yes, they do.

Can you daydream at night? Only if I dream of day.

Why is it that on a phone or calculator the number five has a little dot on it? Does it???? LOL!

Can crop circles be square? No. All disks are round.

If ghosts can walk through walls and glide down stairs, why don't they fall through the floor? Can't say that I know. I've never seen one. Have you?

[BigClive]

**sighs** Yeah, I know. The Boss and my daughter seems concerned about it. 'Course I've not mentioned the fall yesterday to my daughter.

Clive, they would probably want to put me on some hormone supplement. Although I don't hurt (unless I fall), don't have mood swings (no more than the usual 2 times a year deal :D ), or feel like I'm going crazy or losing my mind kinda of stuff....and yet, I feel like that would be what they would want to do.

I've always been the kind of person that thinks, "unless I hurt or feel bad, why go to the doctor or take some kind of meds" type of person. I've just never been one to hardly take anything harder than tylenol.

I keep telling myself that I'm just getting older. I'd just feel absolutely silly if I went to the doctor and they didn't find a thing wrong with me.

This is the third time in less than a month, and the months not over, so maybe I should.

I just don't feel bad. I feel fine.

If you're talking about HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) or whatever that wee pill many mature women use then I should mention that my mum thought it was the best thing that happened.

Other possibilities are an internal ear issue or something. Don't be afraid of going to the doctor for a check-up. It may be nothing at all.

[T-Man]

We had a guy working here, stumbled one day and thought nothing of it then it happened again and again and soon he was having a hard time navigating. Went to the Doc and they found a growth on the right side of his brain. turned out to be cancer, he took therapy and was gone maybe a year after it all started. Interesting part was his first wife died from the same thing, only on the left side. come to find out they were in a car wreck years ago and their heads hit in the accident he on the right and her on the left. . . .I'm not a Doctor but it seemed fishy to me. . .Loosing balance can be nothing or something, but It should be checked like Clive suggested.

I'm not sure an impact could cause that. But if they slept together I'd be seriously wondering if there was an object in their bedroom that was radiaoactive and might have been inbetween their heads like some form of ornament, ore or overly radiactive "glow in the dark" clock.

I'm not ignoring you guys or the problem. It will soon be time to see the doctor on my check up in a couple of months. I might just go on early.

I was in a car accident in '74. I hit the top of the roof of the car several times and then was thrown out the back window (of a 2 door Dodge Charger) and pinned under the only tire that didn't blow out. Yep, the Good Lord was watching out for me. Pretty darn scary when I think of it now.

Over the years I've read about Parkinson's since my grandfather had it. One of the things they mentioned was blows to the head causing it. Probably one of the biggest fears I have is getting that. Long story short, my early years of taking care (being told to look after my grandfather---trying to bring him back home or steer him back that way) at an early age, wasn't happy memories for me. He pretty much slowly lost his mind and did some crazy stuff.

Not saying I've got it. Not saying I'm avoiding it. Kinda hard to avoid thinking about that. I'll get checked out. Just kinda busy right now. But, I will. If nothing else...just for peace of mind.

Poot, I'll try to get back by this evening buddy.

do you think celtic (glasgow that is )will win the scottish leauge this year and will rangers go in to addminnistration



please just say yes yes yes yes yes !

[LostArt]

Why is it that if someone yells "duck" they are helping you, but if they yell "chicken" they are insulting you?


I don't think you really wanted me to answer these Poot. But, out of all of them, I loved this one the best. I'm not sure what that says about me though. :D

I'll say "yes" as long as I don't have to do anything. :D

[BigClive]

Actually, no. The shower of Fenians will be beaten into submission by the boys in blue as in every other year. :rolleyes:

Oh, and of course.... FTP. :D

[LostArt]

(I'll probably wished I hadn't)

What is FTP? For The Party?

:D

[loodvig]

-- Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll
squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"

-- Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there? I'm
gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it's butt."

-- Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

-- If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

-- Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?

-- If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that Acme crap, why
didn't he just buy dinner?

-- If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

-- Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the
same tune?

-- Stop singing and read on..

-- Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad
at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the
window?

-- Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?

Ummmm.... No. :rolleyes:

Maybe you don't want to know, but Rangers is the "protestant" team and Celtic is the "Catholic" tem in a country divided fiercely by religion. FTP means F*** the Pope versus FTQ meaning F*** the Queen. Both being the respective leaders of the rival religions.

You mean the city, right? Because that place is OLD. :D

There are a lot of things I don't understand today and not all of it is another culture/country. I have enough trying to deal with what goes on here in my country.

Yeah, Glasgow sure is an old city. However, apart from the religious battles, the biggest issues Glasgow has are exactly the same issues most American cities have. Greedy parasites working in every government department for their own profit, and a legal system that is the cause of most crime.

Other than that, if you lift your eyes from Glasgow's grimy roads it's a beautiful city.

Do Roman paramedics refer to IV's as "4's"?

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

When someone asks you, "A penny for your thoughts," and you put your
two cents in, what happens to the other penny?

Why do croutons come in airtight packages? It's just stale bread to
begin with.

Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person
who drives a race car not called a racist?

If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?

Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?

If horrific means to make horrible, does terrific mean to make terrible?

"I am." is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language.
How is it, then, that "I do," is the longest sentence?

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that
electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged,
models deposed, tree surgeons debarked and drycleaners depressed?

Why is it that if someone tells you that there are one billion stars in
the universe, you'll believe it, but if you're told a wall has wet
paint, you'll have to touch it to be sure?

If people from Poland are called "Poles," why aren't people from Holland
called "Holes"?
