Bugger. My first post on this thing and I screw the linky thing up. Sorry, all. I'll be sure to be good next time, if I don't get booted.
Yes, the U.S. has added to its initial funding for disaster relief.
Yes, not everyone wants to give to the Red Cross. Thanks all of you who posted links to "alternative" charities.
Damn! I wish I hadn't moved away from St. Paul!
Veeck is one of the owners of the St. Paul Saints, one of the coolest minor league ball clubs EVAR!
Saints games are always a blast. And Bill Murray's a co-owner. I spotted him at games a time or two.
They did this Disco Demolition Night at a Saints game, recently.
Better late than never?
Would there be any invite codes left for little ole me? I was moving, and then I forgot my login info (Doh!), so I prolly missed out.
SideDish makes another excellent point: Be safe.
Make sure your friends and family know the contact information of the person you are going to be staying with, and how they can get a hold of you.
If you feel at all uncomfortable, or that little nagging voice tells you something: listen to it!
Just because she's a chick doesn't mean she can't be violent.
I am shawnj's girlfriend, he is my boyfriend, whatever.
Shawn is not my first online romance. I once flew all the way to Scotland to meet someone I thought I had a connection with. It was a great week, but in the end it didn't pan out.
My two cents: Have no expectations. Think of it as an excuse to travel and have adventure. If it doesn't work out between you and she, at least you have that much. Anything else is just gravy.
Even if you do hit it off, that doesn't necessarily mean you're lifelong partners. Time together is the best indicator.
Although Shawn and I are going to be living together, neither of us are going into this thinking there are any guarantees.
And, yes, our visits together were absolutely fabulous beyond all expectations. We lucked out, methinks.
