Snowflake Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 ...so, you're saying that to stay in a place that covers the "three squares a day", roof over head and NO KIDS, all I have to do is hang a man up to dry the ol' fashioned way?? Where do I sign up??? WAHOOOO! Free vacation! (Do I get to pick the man, or is that decided by whomever "falls" into the pool?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
