Vacation!!

  • Origins for today’s wedding traditions are very interesting. For instance, one belief is that the origin of the wedding ring was from an African custom wherein grass was used to tie the couple’s wrists together during the ceremony. This is probably where the expression the tie that binds originated.

  • GRASS?!?! How strong is that ?! No wonder people are able to break the tie and separate on whim!

    Now if they were handcuffed together (& the key was thrown away) then it might give these unions a chance and there would be less divorces and more of "until death do us part"...

     







    **ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI !!!**

  • who wants to be stuck with an anchor.... made of grass or otherwise...

  • and sushila, good word use with the word  ... bacchinalia... used to go to an annual IT party called that... years gone past.. made me travel down a memory path.. ihad not been down in a while... it was just like a little mental ... vacation.

  • Have long been a Bacchus worshipper....did you go down the same memory lane that is littered with chewed up crayons ?!?!







    **ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI !!!**

  • Neither grass nor steel will bind til death do us part.. But the blending of two minds can create a tie that neither binds nor breaks

    (bind intransitive verb engineering become stiff or stuck: to become stiff, stuck, or unable to move freely )

  • In Spanish, you would say 'borracha(o)'. 

    Ah yes, I myself have proffered many sacrifices to the gods of porcelain over the years.

    One of my favorite quotes is from Benjamin Franklin who said:

    "Beer is living proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy"

    My hovercraft is full of eels.

  • That must be the same God who said "nothing succeeds like excess..."

    Hope this could help.

  • Steve,

    I hope you are having / had a good vacation. I live in Richmond, VA and I was wondering how far you had to travel to get to VA Beach. In other words, from where do you hail, captain? (Just curious.)
