    Too funny - thought you were a dude but seems we are both our fathers' daughters.

    Next week will mark six years since he died, but he's with me if that makes sense. And yes, he (along with my husband) was the best man I knew.

    You sound as fortunate as I on the father-front. Blessed indeed, and thank YOU.

    Wow, you go backpacking in the wilderness for a few days and the AMT is like a whole different place when you get back! I missed a lot!

    Well, as I came back here today the latest page ( eb..seller guy) was only just closed and it took a while to read 8 pages of craziness...
    First of all I have to say that I was really ashamed about the behavior from my droll fellow Countryman (the last banned stu.. dork - hups...sorry for that...)
    While reading this stuff and sometimes thinking this couldn´t be real, I was just wondering why they didn´t close it before. (Ok, we know now.)
    I´ve never read such stupid stuff from someone before (especially not here - so nice people) bc I think already at the first sites he used a word that took my breath away and I was so shocked - I thought I have to tell him that he must shut up immediately. At this moment I recognised that it was already closed! While reading on I also noticed that noone else recognised it...for luck.
    Normally I would say things like this are not worth to talk about but this guy was going just too far - even that it was very funny to read some of the last pages and he really didn´t understand that he was the problem in person.
    Then I saw that all his sides were closed and I am really asking myself what kind of guy he might be? Fact is this kind of speaking is really that kind of shit with what Germans must handel to date.
    For me it was more shocking as maybe some of you can imagine, think Leezestarr knows what I mean bc she tried to make him understand in German. But this is not normal behavior here in Germany! And I really didn´t think that I ever would apologise for someone who I actually don´t know but I really feel bad on that.
    So I am sorry to leave this shit on the Lounge but it seems like it just flows and I had to say it to feel better now.
    And one more: compared to this guy I don´t know if the other banned guy should has stayed here...(but I don´t exactly know enough about that)
    Enough now...don´t want to talk bad about someone again and I am sure there will be no more reason for doing that.

    PEACE & LOVE
    Welcome to the Lounge Car, kce8. (Who's tending bar today? rr? Hedonist?) Have a drink. Relax. We pretty much just drink (or smoke a little green if that's your thing), listen to music, fuck around, laugh, give empathy and hugs or goof off here in the lounge.

    Cheers!

    Thank you so much Brianlux, now I am really feeling better! Think I will get me a big glass Red Wine now even if it´s 2 after midnight and I better would get some sleep...
    >:D< Feeling hugged now :\">

    Cheers !
    Wunderbar, kce! I don't know much Deutsch but my favorite word is "usgezeichnet"! :-)

    Hedonist: That bowl packing sounds good too! ;-)

    :-bd Great, wunderbar is such a good and positive word too!
    So I think you accidental missed the a on "ausgezeichnet" . There is no better word than this to describe something good!
    You chooses great words that says a lot and I think you are a deep reader so there are surely some more good german words you know.... ;)

    Thank you for making me feel so welcomed! Prost!

    Very sorry to hear that, I even cannot imagine to loose my dad. From another way I can say it def makes sense to feel him by your side. And congratulations, not everyone could say something good about her husband! You lucky girl ! But seems like these are really good, sensitive men all the PJammers!
    Maybe if there were more PJ Fans in the world, we would automaticly have more peace and love everywhere... ;):D

    I haven't been to Germany proper, but when we crossed from Italy into Austria, EVERYTHING got better! The food, the cleanliness, the promptness, the kindness, and the overall character of the towns. I heart Austria!

    Really? Glad to hear that. You must come to Germany sometime - it´s not that bad ;)

    Talking about the cleanliness and promptness lol, ok I can agree! But didn´t think we could stick with the kindness and food! Ok, bread,yes for sure, but I always thought foreigners believes we Germans are grumpy and uncommunicative...so that is really nice to hear that.
    It´s really nice here maybe a little bit boring sometimes but over all we have good people here!

    Was very astonished to see how many foreign people came to Berlin to see PJ there - that was so great!

    So make sure to come to Berlin next time! <:-P

    I've been to Germany and we had a fantastic time. Beautiful scenery, great wine, easy to get around by public transportation - what more could you ask for? Oh, and friendly people too! Maybe a bit blunt, but certainly not grumpy.

    The Northern Italian food failed to impress us until we got to Tirol. Spaghetti and pizza "aint got nothin" on speck and hay cheese! Wurst and kartoffelsoup, schnitzel, spaetzl, Sacher Torte, ans strudel oh my! Yeah Italy can keep its pasta and plain tomato sauce, I'll take the Germanic food any day! I'm not sure I will make it to Berlin, there are no Alps there lol. I am a man of the mountains and I'm not sure I could spare one minute of time in Europe away from those beautiful peaks and valleys. Pearl Jam is the only thing that could make it happen, so next time maybe we skip Italy for Germany! :-) Honestly, I would see the band, skip the city, and head back to the mountains for some fresh air and some speck!

    You are so right, and Tirol is very special. As I was a kid we always traveled to Austria or Tirol - it is so beautiful all time of the year! So I can understand you choose the mountains then if only PJ would come more often to Germany (Munich or Salzburg etc)...then maybe I would choose it too!

    For me it´s a dream to sometimes travel to Vancouver to see whales in free nature! But I think this will be a dream forever...
    There are so many great places in this world... :)

    I'm partial to Heidelberg! Not only did my grandfather attend university there, but the people were particularly welcoming (not that the others I met in Germany weren't).

    I remember 25+ years ago, going to a pub there - and I do NOT like beer; probably had whiskey - but the place was so cool, and the proprietors so warm toward me. And the city! Just beautiful.

    I also dug Cologne.

    Will say though, boat ride on the Rhine while sorely hungover...no bueno!

    And don't get me started on Austria. Never even seen the film, but the hills were alive :D

    hey hedonist,
    =)) so you have to come back to bring a complete movie to your home...lol
    You must have got one or two of the bad whiskeys there...lol (it´s a German funny phrase)

    Ok you can skip Cologne, it´s like a 1,5 hour drive from my home and I would say take a boat on a nice sunny day up the Rhein to Mannheim and see Heidelberg again. Such a beautiful city! On this way you could see beautiful castles and castle ruins in the Rheingau!

    If you then get your whiskey please let me know - I don´t like beer as well ! :))

    Late enough for a drink here in Germany! Cheers! :)>-

    One of several hangovers in Germany (and Austria) was when we were stuck in some remote hotel in Bad Ems. Lots of Schnapps! My god it was tasty but powerful.

    No bad results from the whiskey I drank there - at least I don't think so :D

    Hope you're all having a nice Sunday.

    Football's going here on mute (husband says it's comforting to have it on, and damned if he's right), and Elvis is singing away. Turn it up!

    And now I'm craving Schnell Imbiss stand. Real white bratwurst, fresh brotchen with senf , pomfrites, but skip the mayo and dunk pomfrites in curry sauce aka ketchup and curry.

    Some great German Rock. One of Mikes influences.

    Yes but inside soft. Perfect to open up and place that bratwurst. Liberal amount of real mustard not that yellow imitation they have here and yum yum.
