Hi Kelda!

Of course I'll be meeting Melissa in Holland. I'm planning to spend a few days in the Amsterdam area and then a few more in my ancestral Gelderland in the eastern part of the country. I'd love to meet up with you in London. We could meet there, or up in Newcastle. Either way is fine with me, just as long as I get to meet you!

Hi David.  How are you doing?  I was wondering, do you live alone when Alex is back in England, or do you live with your Dad?

Hugs,
Gary

Hey Gary!

I have my own house on the west side of town, but yeah, I've been staying at my Dad's house for much of the time these past few months. Generally I am at Dad's house for the first part of the week, and at my house in Speedway the during the weekends. It doesn't always work out that way though. My friend Cory also lives at my house and he keeps an eye on things while I'm at my Dad's.

Very funny, David.  But I don't understand number 4.

4. Someone asks to see your ID, and you show them your belt buckle.  

Me stupid.  Or do you have to be from Indiana to get it?  

I don't understand it either Gary, but it was on the list so I went ahead and typed it. I was hoping ya'll would get it and explain it to ME!!

I know lots of guys around here wear HUGE belt buckles, and the belt buckles are often very ornate. Maybe this has something to do with it.

WHOOOO!!!

Hot flash!     I'm having a hot flash. This must be a part of that "mid life crisis" I've been enduring for the past FIVE years! 

It's HOT in here. I'm about ready to go outside and roll around in the snow..NAKED!! Don't they do that in Denmark? Or Finland or someplace? Roll around in the snow naked? Maybe there's a lot of mid life crisis going on over there.

Or MAYBE they're just naturally HOT! God, I love those Nordic men.

It's hot in here....

Custom made belt buckles -- big ones -- they can be made with your name on them. Geez -- I guess you gotta be from Arkansas to get that one!!!     

LOL -- I didn't know men have hot flashes, David! I had hot flashes for a few months and then -- poof -- they stopped.

[Shasta542]

Dousing yourself with apple cider vinegar might help.

When you lie on your back and make your arms fly -- you get a snow angel. If you get naked and roll around in the snow -- what would that impression look like?

My wife had a gorgeous belt buckle made for me. It was her wedding gift to me. It's solid freakin silver, with an aspen leaf on it, engraved on the back with the dates of our engagement in Cheyenne and our wedding in Brooklyn.

Buckles are big out here!  I'm sure mine could even hold its own in...Arkansas lol.
