Shawna Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 less scary than being married for years, then finding yourself alone raising a 2-year-old.
MarcM Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 is marriage scary? It has it's scary moments, but for the most part, it is a fine institution. But who wants to be institutionalized? (rimshot)
edna Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 Marriage is fine as long as you´re fine with your beloved one. That' s just as simple as that.

MindCrime Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Listening to the CD's I borrowed from the library today. They let me take home 10!
Kevin Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Posted June 20, 2009 Reading just why I always seem to be broke ... : http://realestate.yahoo.com/promo/the-most-expensive-cities-in-the-world.html;_ylc=X3oDMTF0Zm05cDNkBF9TAzI3MTYxNDkEX3MDOTc2MjA0NjUEc2VjA2ZwLXRvZGF5BHNsawNtb3N0LWV4cGVuc2l2ZS1jaXRpZXM-
edna Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 We're planning to live in Formentera or Ibiza or so... or maybe just rent a small house and work through the net and relax and walk on the beach...
Kevin Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Posted June 20, 2009 Sounds good ,Edna ! Isn't Ibiza overrun with drunken Englishmen , though ?
edna Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Yes. And German too. But we're fed up with Madrid.
Farin Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 ^ true, but Germans are also mainly on Mallorca
Kevin Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Posted June 20, 2009 Majorca (right ? ) .You have 'a place' , do you ? Are you in Spain ? Do you know for certain who and what nationalities compose the tourists of Ibiza ? Why wouldn't you take Edna's word for it -she's right next door and hears things, for God's sake ...!?!
edna Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Farin' s right... there' s Germans in Mallorca too... actually there' s people from Germany, Holland, England, France, Argentina, Italy, etc in the Baleares (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera) and also on the coast... there' s more foreigners than spaniards...
Kevin Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Posted June 20, 2009 ...and so , you'd like to retire in a place where people drop in for a week and get as drunk as possible and terrorize your town ?
Farin Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Majorca (right ? ) .You have 'a place' , do you ? Are you in Spain ? Do you know for certain who and what nationalities compose the tourists of Ibiza ? Why wouldn't you take Edna's word for it -she's right next door and hears things., for God's sake ...!?! "Mallorca", but it's pronounced more like "Mayorca" it's the tourist destination #1 for Germans (maybe for other nationalities too, I wouldn't know) (think Cancun or South Florida during Spring Break, but the whole summer)
Kevin Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Posted June 20, 2009 We are both talking about those little islands off the coast of Eastern Spain , right ? Why do they like it ? Offshore banking ?
Farin Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 the climate's warmer than at home, I guess The Greek Islands are just as popular, especially for the Brits, I think
Kevin Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Posted June 20, 2009 Saw the Brits in the Greek isles , as well as Italians . It was off -season though so I can't really say whether that was the norm or not . The staff were whining about all of us though , and when they could go back to Portugal !?!?
edna Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 ...and so , you'd like to retire in a place where people drop in for a week and get as drunk as possible and terrorize your town ? Retire? I don't plan to retire. I just heard the parties they throw at their mansions are really wild... You also have plenty of drunken hooligans in my neighborhood... I live near the Real Madrid Stadium...
Kevin Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Posted June 20, 2009 Good Lord , edna ...haven't you had enough of that crap ?!?
Lucky Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 ...and so , you'd like to retire in a place where people drop in for a week and get as drunk as possible and terrorize your town ? That's where we live too, where people drop in for a week, get drunk & such, but there isn't too much terrorizing. "Mallorca", but it's pronounced more like "Mayorca" Kevin wasn't wrong, in the US, Canada and elsewhere it actually is spelled Majorca (which may be incorrect to the Spaniards) and pronounced Mayorca.
Lucky Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Don't ask me why. Obviously, the place is in Spain, their spelling, I would think, would be the recognized correct one. But I've always known it the way Kevin spelled it, so I looked it up. Mallorca is apparently the native name officially used in Spanish and Catalan languages. There's the obscure wiki lesson for the day.
