???

Attacking you? Where?

And who said anything negative about Jimmy?

And why generalize and dis this forum?

And why call people names?

"No one will miss you."

Actually this is not true. We have a good many great friends that we have traditionally partied with for as many years as my wife and I have been married (almost ten years now), and who are saddened by our finacially motivated decision.

For the record, the intent of my post was strictly to address some of the circumstances that might cause some people not to spend their cash on a road trip this year. It was most certainly not to cast aspersions on our patron saint, JB.

Actually sir, you are a sad testament to the fact that you can't so much as say anything even tangentially negative on this forum about Jimmy without some putz attacking you.

:lol:


what a nob.

if you are not excited, don't come - was the point. if you cannot afford to come or choose not to spend the money then I feel for you . . . but that has nothing to do with me stating the above.

lighten up. good lord, people. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Maybe it has something to do with not being Italian. Besides, the whole cooking/baking thing is women's work.

I agree. Like the woman from Alaska. Being VP must be easy if she can do it from the kitchen all day.

All the men cook in the Godfather. Where I got my info. Guess I was lied to by Hollywood. So sad.
