29. what's even funnier is that
I don't drink beer AND and I'm lactose intolerate. Wisconsin would have kicked me out had it not been for my die-hard packer fan status.

15. It's always hotter up there
Edited on Tue Jun-14-05 08:00 PM by tyedyeto
but when the temps get over 105 or so......it's just plain HOT no matter what the temp is.

:eyes: not rolling my eyes...just showing the green for envy since you were swimming. No access to a pool here on this hot day.

edit to fix typo

20. our pool isn't full yet
makes me want to cry. We are living with another couple that just built a house and the pool just needs to be finished.

The pool company is being a pain in the ass though and won't come finish the pool because we don't have a gate on the fence- and the builders won't put a gate on the fence till the pool is full so I don't know what's going to happen here.

37. When do you hit the Cup Cafe?
It was the first stop for us after we flew into PHX for our vacation last year. My SO was agitated (hates to fly) and even he enjoyed it. In spite of the October heat, we sat outside and fed the birds.
