  1. Have you seen the falls during all the rain? unreal! Spectacular!
  2. This is your own answer the way I see it. done.
  3. The business tie is binding for sure. i suppose, if you feel like it is just easier to "share" the dog then it may be the way to go. Has she been upset by not seeing the dog? How long have you both looked after the dog together? You mentioned it was "your" dog. i have a feelings she would probably get over it. maybe explain to her that you're not comfortable with interacting with her outside of the condo deal. Tell her it hinders you in "moving on"....see how she reacts and go from there.
  4. Put on your pants. Tell her it's your dog. Keep the dog. End of story.
  5. Tough call. Tough call indeed.
  6. Lol just needed a few knives to fall on the floor to finish you off. did anyone witness that? Hilarious. but glad you're ok.
  7. How many did it take. i don't know why but over two days and a night my bro and a buddy drank 97 years ago. i woke up under a car. this was in 'murica so pabst seemed like the only reasonable option.
  8. If you guys haven't already, check out the movie: 20' from stardom. youll like it.
  9. I suppose at least the athlete has some bank most likely the failed comedian has a liver issue
  10. I know and it's really frustrating....I won't claim to be a fan of one more than the other and I didn't bet on it but I had kovy as my pick....I guess we just have to continue to enjoy the display as best as we can as boxing fans.
  11. Thats disappointing. The black mark on boxing for sure.
  12. I hope this loosens you up with some laughs for your next meeting
  13. Ya I just checked bummer.....I'm goin kovy you?
  14. The family that owned the swans favourite trips were through bcs coast and west coast passage etc. interesting you mention Norway. The North Sea really draws me for some reason. Possibly the only sea I leave my family for an extended time if given the opportunity. I think it has something do do with the elements and their challenges - potential risks....leisure is great but my favourite moments were tests.
  15. Ha! Nice one. I love my Monty though. He's so cute. Listening to oldies now that he has his first child I delivered one sailboat - one long trip. It was beautiful. A Swan 77'. Built in Norway I believe and 1 of 4 similar boats owned by a Dutch family. I am grateful to have been on such a vessel. Most ports I met many others in the bars very jealous of sailing sowmthing like that. This was back in '04. If I recall correctly we tried to average 9knots but we easily had averages of 12 and in the Atlantic crossing we had amazing consistent direction winds where we had some days at 16-23! Felt amazing to have that thing loaded up like that. i can't say enough about that experience. The crew (6 all in) were all strangers aside from the captain and his gf. He was Scottish his gf argentian/Canadian, one yank girl, two English guys and me. i was flown to San Diego from Van, and we set out to Falmouth, UK via: Puerto vallarta Aculpolco panama - the canal Havana miami south beach ten days fort lauderdale (here we stayed for four weeks to re/re some equipment and prep for the trans Atlantic. St.Georges barbados horta Azores falmouth, england i finished with money in the bank and my flight home covered so I hung out in new quay for a few months and surfed. i won't say it was by best trip ever as there was a lot of hard work and at times we all didn't get along, and I took years off my liver. But as far as experiences and appreciation for getting to places the old way, I learned a lot and was exposed to things, situations, and senses I never anticipated. So many great moments I could go on and on about. if I lotteried I'd have my own Swan and take my family around the world.
  16. Very good and well presented points. I suppose I have some bias towards the all is lost sailboat theme as like @Svengali I too thought it was very realistic. I've travelled about 7500 nautical miles under sail. Unfortunately, I felt times, I wasn't alone.
