Anytime, kiddo! I make a GREAT tour guide!! Lol!! 
Scotland is on my list of places to see. Egypt is next, tho, so its going to be a bit. That and I'm looking into the possibility of acquiring a place in Crete with a buddy of mine from England. 
Sorry, Tam; couldn't resist throwing that in!!
Hiya Jenny! 
This sounds more like the Jenny we all know. Go with the flow and just enjoy every day. Only way to be and somewhere/sometime it'll come knocking on your door when you least expect it. No blame, for anyone, just enjoy the endless possibilities. You go girl!!
Back at ya, darlin! How's married life treating you?? Hiya Lago, Tam! Nope. Don't think we will extinguish ourselves, put then I'm an optimist! lol! More likely a natural event like our sun going supernova or the earth getting hit by an asteroid. We seem to have just enough smarts to pull away from the brink as has been done a few times. Doesn't mean we're not going to have to face a few tough decisions, tho. Jmo.
But then, IT'S FRIDAY SO WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi ya Petal. Not really sure exactly why you quoted me here. Everything I've written has been based on my personal experience, naturally, and people I have met here and abroad. Could you clarify please? Thanks!
Sad but true about leaving the states. Same applies to citizens of the U.S. and learning other languages. The U.S. is SOOO big and our entire continent basically speaks english (yes, most of mexico speaks english as well as spanish) We've never had a REASON to learn other languages unlike the people of europe who need to speak other languages fluently for business, travel, ect.. That has to change as the world keeps getting smaller and smaller. Great discussion! Thanks! 
Hi Tam! Didn't say rights are always upheld. What I said was that the basis of the United States from its inception was that the rights of the individual was paramont! More and more and more those rights are being impinged upon. Your example above is point of fact. Instead of being accepted at face value, now its "how do we interpret this to get the result that WE want." As long as I don't infringe on another persons right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" I should be able to persue anything I would like. I expect the same in kind and would argue against ANYTHING that attempts to limit my options!
New voice to the thread. Some interesting points/arguements presented. Makes for interesting reading. In a different perspective, why do you need convincing that it is the RIGHT of the people to own guns? You are entitled to believe how you wish. However, gun laws/regulations by nature will take away the rights or wishes of other individuals. If I want to own a gun, who has the right to say no to that? This country has ALWAYS been about the rights of the individual and it seems as if more and more attempts at curtailing those rights are occurring on an almost daily basis.
Had a similar experience with my son at about the same age. His exclamation was, "Look, mom, a PUPPET!"
