We do take day trips GAL...

Living in the land of Lincoln, and being a teacher, history is my kinda thing...

I will have to add your history lesson to my store of knowledge however!! (archived or not!! *G) I just thought it a quaint beautiful place...

Actually, Reader - he's been begging for a tantrics night and we were supposed to have it last night - he had the candles all lit on the bar, pillows all fluffed, etc. - then I picked a fight. Nope, nothing, zip, zilch, nada. I think I will take you up on that suggestion - vodka martini at the door with me as the swizzle stick. ROTF!!

ROFLOL!!!

They celebrated my birthday at school today... my friend made a "better than sex chocolate cake" and of course I had to say "it depends on your partner" as for me I prefer my partner...


(where's the clipart of the whistling smiley face???!!!}

Mind you my friend made 2 HUGE pans of the cake, and there wasnt ANY leftover, so I'm thinking the teachers are on the insatiable side!!

(beg!!)

Right now I'm questioning that tradition, Reader - I don't have to take a shot after every dance, do I? Just the person I'm dancing with? I shoot not, and for cause.

LOL, from what I remember GAL , I remember everyone got in line and got a shot and a cigar, (dh called and I asked him, he's saying its a Polish toast etc...) then danced so the bride and groom were too busy dancing to swill...


but you can start your own traditions!!

Right now I'm telling GAL that around here IF you do a dollar dance, people will pay you a dollar (or more) to dance with you, then after the dance they get a shot. I think it's tacky, personally.

At the only "dollar" dance I've seen, they pinned the money on the bride's veil. She had almost $800 on it! It paid for their honeymoon!
Reader, is your family dollar dance tradition from your Texas side?

Well Annie, my Grandpa moved up here during the depression... His family, and my grandma's family settled Grayson County (near Sherman/Dennison Texas - north of Dallas) When they retired they moved back south, but my dad had a good job here, in steel mill country - my brother has now moved and settled in Houston, I'm very jealous!! *g

Because Grandpa worked for the railroad we always went to Texas, every year, and stayed connected to all those aunts, uncles, cousins... when I'd come visiting, it was a reason to have a "family reunion" such a fun time... wonderful memories... but I cant recall going to a wedding, so I'm not sure if it was a tradition from my mom's side,or my dad's side of the family (they were from Illinois, and Arkansas)....

Look GAL, its archived, now how are you going to deal with the "new message feature?!"

In my area of Louisiana, it has always been tradition to pin the bride with money while dancing. I never thought of it as unclassy or vulgar, just part of the "tradition" here, such as the groom's cake. Down here, it has never been mandatory to dance with the couple, only people who choose to partake in the tradition do so.
(It's usually close friends and family who do this, people who have a genuine interest/caring for the happy couple.

I guess different strokes for different folks.

ETA: I didn't have the money dance as you call it due to the fact I had no dancing music at my reception, just classical music softly playing in the background.

Ddr, these friends of ours were in Lake Charles. I didn't realize that grooms cakes were local either! LOL I did find out that having the food as a buffet was more Southern when we met a bunch of folks from the East on our honeymoon and they couldn't believe we didn't have a seated dinner! I remember one saying "you had a smorgasborg??"

Right now, I am on a computer in a store. I promised Unit that I would drive him here so that he could partake in his hobby - gaming (Warhammer 40K).

I only agreed because I knew there was a computer here I could use for $2/hour... the nice store owner has waived that fee for me. Good thing too, since the damn spacebar key is broken and I have to SLAM on it to make it work.

I was contemplating chat, but with a spacebar like this, I'm not too sure.

Right now, rofl at half, that is dedication... and I know too much about Warhammer, and those dang stores!! DS were way into it, thanks to sils new dh, a grown man got them started!! I thought my dh was going to lose it over those "toys" (shhhh dont tell anyone I said the "t" word!!)

Right Now I would like to ask for some real positive vibes, the winds that are blowing storms all over... another car died, another is barely holding on, we are down to 1 van, and nothing to replace it... a cracked head(block?) on DS car that DH has been using since HIS car died a silent death...

one day at a time, and thank goodness for spring! :-)
