My trip is all lined out and paid for...... everything is still hanging in the balance and depending on my girlfriend though. It's still not looking to good. Such a downer. I have until midnight tomorrow to head out.
Haha, I knew it!! Well, you guys can just keep doing it. I'll keep ignoring it and we will have much fun .
Will do.
That reminds me, I could really use a micro brewery brush click from you. Twenty more "gifts" from "friends" and I'm half way to an imaginary hangover from over sampling the grape that isn't.

So, no matter what winds up happening, no matter where you land, just remember to look everyone straight in the eye and say "HOWDY!"
And if they look at you funny that just means they didn't hear you so you grab them by the shoulders and pull them real close and say "HOWDY! I'm AMERICAN!" and then they'll understand.
And they'll smile and nod and then you smile and nod and then the exchange is complete.
You have to do that with everyone you meet.
They may try to kiss you on the cheeks.
Just go with it and don't run away screaming and plunge your head into the nearest public fountain cause they'll think you're weird if you do that despite the high number of public fountains they have.

I always thought the fountains were there because they had a lot more water than they knew what to do with, what with their not drinking it or bathing frequently.
Thanks for the advice fool, you're an alright guy. My trip is looking to be about 20/80 going to pan out, with the 20% being the positive odds. I don't think I'll end up getting to Europe, not with this girl anyways.

We have a number of atheist posters here. We have a number of clever posters here. We even have a number of clever atheist posters here.
Hey! Wha?? Shasta? Did someone say... Okay, lemme just check in the ol' cooler here... Yep... I KNEW I had one left... Mmm! And I think it's practically ice-cold. Ish.
Wait, hold on a sec, wow, I think there just might be ANOTHER one in here... Waaayyy down here at the bottom... Anyone? Anyone? Anyone?

Quincy, remember there will be women in Europe, so if the girl friend doesn't go? Whats the problem?
Please don't tell me you need a woman to hold your hand in order to be adventurous.

Out, Out, Brief Candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more, It is a tale told by an idiot, Full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. W.S.
Hmmm, lightbringer. That is a good point. I am really deciding now on whether I should go or not and that actually is pushing me in the direction to go. I definitely don't need her to hold my hand.
