    I would imagine it's pretty hard to keep both feet on the ground under simalar circumstances. I know when I get an extra $20 I get pretty cocky.

    >> As to the View ... that show is a hoot ... I love watching them go at it like a bunch of hens clucking away ... and those days when Rosie was on and Elizabeth and her went after it politically ... that was great stuff! <<

    What's funny is I have always liked Rosie as a comedian. Especially her, and Richard Dreyfuss in Another Stakeout, which really wasn't that good of a movie.
    It's when these Hollywood types go all political. That turns me off. I'm very surprised by how little they actually know.

    When you're my age things like that get you excited! Like girls did when I was younger.

    Or how misconstrued their ideas of the American Political System really are. Not to mention how they barely know any History.

    Price of a domestic can of beer (Miller Lite) at the grocery stores at the resorts in WDW in January of 2009, $5.25.

    From a article in Business Week relating to the 10 most expensive cities in the World.

    1.Tokyo, Japan
    Can of beer from grocer: $3.37

    2.Oslo, Norway
    Can of beer from grocer $4.71

    3.Luanda, Angola
    Can of beer from grocer $1.62

    4.Nagoya, Japan
    Can of beer from grocer $3.08

    5.Yokohama, Japan
    Can of beer from grocer $3.26

    6.Stavanger, Norway
    Can of beer from grocer $4.76

    7.Kobe, Japan
    Can of beer from grocer $3.09

    8.Copenhagen, Denmark
    Can of beer from grocer $2.10


    9.Geneva, Switzerland
    Can of beer from grocer $2.02

    10.Zurich, Switzerland
    Can of beer from grocer $2.01

    I'll let those prices speak for themselves.

    Yes, they really should keep their mouths shut, so people would not know how ignorant they really are. I'm just not talking about actors that I disagree with politically either.

    I would gladly pay $4.67 a can for it.

    Thanks Em. That's exactly what the CM's told me when I asked about it.

    I wonder how much beer sales have gone down? I'll pay $5 or $6 for an imported beer with my meal, but I'm not about to pay that much for a can of Miller's from a grocery store.

    Did you pick up a six-pack Em? :)

    I'm still waiting to hear about that homemade steak sandwich Spirit!

    First you get me all aroused, and then you let me simmer for days. That's just not right!
