If I Were To Visit Your Corner Of The World

[MrSS]

Yes I am. That's the only place I could think me and Cricket would have in common. A simple and humble offer from a 19 year old guy.

I have seen some stunningly beautiful pictures of Florida!

Theres other stuff around here to see, like the Stockyards district on the north side of ft worth. Basically its what we have instead of the riverwalk. You can get a beer, ribs, shop, take in a band or two, or go dancing... All in a few blocks. Of course dfw has a boatload of touristy crap, but who wants to go be a tourist?

Outside of that... Pretty much anything you saw would be critters right here onsite... But that takes a while. We do have coffee, what more could one need?

Critters and coffee.... What more could a girl ask for?

It would be an honor to see the schools in your area!

Actually I was in your neck of the woods yesterday I think.

Just pulling your chain cause if I showed her my schools it'd violate a court order. Apparently ya just have to shoot at one administrator and everyone gets all bent outta shape.

I will take you to the Ooty (a hill station in India). It's a cool and beautiful place. I wish to go there every year but not getting a chance. BTW, if you wish to come, then we'll plan accordingly

[jackflaming]

I live in India. It is such a beautiful country. If you ever be here, you can visit many places here. But as far as with me, you will have to be my friend first. Then I will show the most beautiful places of India.

If you were to visit my corner of the world, well, not really much here... I'd have to take you up to Cleveland or cross the border into PA around Pittsburgh area.

[Inspired Ink]

Hmmmmmm .....

Well, you probably don't want to go OUT for coffee anywhere near me. If you come to my exact little corner, you'd be better off with coffee here at the house. I'll gladly make ya some though, and whatever else you like to go with it.

And if it was my little corner, it would have to involve critters just like Rob, LOL. Maybe I'd have some new baby goats bouncing off the walls. They're fun to watch. I usually have baby rabbits too. And baby chicks. In spring, goslings. The llama is fun to watch in cold weather though. She bounces around like a springbok. Looks better on a huge, tall, furry animal though.

If you want to drive a short distance, we have antique shops. That's about it, LOL.

If you want to drive a bit further, there is EVERYthing you could want. And really good barbecue!

Now, if you had asked me that question in the past ... I could have taken you around the mountains where I lived in a national forest in California. Truly breathtaking. And not too far away in the valley, anything you want. Or when I lived in Florida, of course the most beautiful beaches in the world. At least before all the hurricanes and the oil spill. Tons of festivals down around that way too, in the fall.

I've lived some pretty cool places.

Edited to add: and I forgot, yes, guys in chaps. At least I'm guessing so. I never seem to see any, LOL. I must not go to the right places.

[Cricket]

Inspired Ink, I think it would be a blast to meet you in person!

[Chris Brandt]

Coffee, lots of coffee. Because the tour would have to be a long one. Everyone knows the Grand Canyon. And you should see it. But we also have Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon around Page. Then you have to see the ski resort in Flagstaff, with side trips over to the White Mountains and down the Mogollon Rim into Payson. Through saguaro country to the south where a gem hides. The Chiricahua Mountains, once the home of the great Apache leaders Cochise and Geronimo. Of course Tombstone and Big Nose Kate's Saloon is down there as well. By then we would need a cocktail.

She failed to mention mucking out the goat barn. Have a great time.

If you were to come visit our corner of paradise, it would be summertime (since I know you don’t like the cold). You’d smell the pine scented air in the morning, marvel at the lack of humidity, and be amazed by the Milky Way in the clear night sky.

Here in town, you could get settled in a lovely bed and breakfast, stay here at the house or even enjoy our state of the art pop-up camper, with your own fridge, stove and sink (and a very comfy king sized bed.)

We’d show you around our lovely town, including a trip to the waterfall along our warm water river. If you really want to experience the warm water, we could go to the swimming pool built over one of the hot springs; heaven!

We also have an old movie theater with comfy seats, a bowling ally and a Dairy Queen (are you picturing Mayberry yet?)

Unlike those centrally located big cities, our little town is ‘centrally isolated’. While Rapid City is less than an hour away, Wall Drug and the Badlands are about 2 hours east, Carhenge about 2 hours south and Devils Tower about 2.5 hours north. ALL are fun places filled with friendly folks, and worth checking out.

If you don’t feel like a 2 hour drive, Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Monument are both just up the road, along with Wind Cave Monument (cool cave tours.) Custer State Park is beautiful, and the Needles Highway is filled with great photo ops.

There’s very little traffic, unless you count the buffalo that tend to hang out near the road between here and there.

Speaking of wild life, you’ll also see the deer and the antelope (don’t expect them to play, mostly they eat and hang out), wild turkeys and prairie dogs, and an occasional herd of elk. The mountain lions stay pretty well hidden.

As for eats and drinks, if you’ve never had a buffalo burger, ummmm, good. There are a couple of good steak houses around, and a burger joint over by the railroad that makes ‘em the size of Texas, with real milkshakes to match. But I'll warn you, the best coffee is made right in our kitchen, so there's never a need to go out for that!

And of course, if you come during a certain week in August, we’re about 1 ¼ hours south of a little event called the Sturgis Rally; maybe you’ve heard of it?

Lemme know when you want to come on up, and we'll leave the porch light on!

Welllllll, hell. That's a tough question--there's just so much. First stop obviously is the Starbucks down the street so that my lovely bride and I can finally talk to you in person. After? I dunno. Depending on what time of year you get here, a day trip might be in order. I'm a big-time history buff, so an hour drive to Appomattox is one of my faves. It's a shorter drive to the Cittie of Henricus, a town settled right after Jamestown (and just outside of Richmond) with some good and some cheesy reenactments of pre-colonial days. If you're here on a Sunday in the summer, we can see reenactments of the "Give me liberty or give me death" speech right here in town. If you were up for more, there's the battlefield park where you can see kind of what the Confederates saw as they fled their capital in the last week of the war.

The evening we'll have to go to Capital Alehouse, where the beer menu is about four times longer than the food menu and changes so often that it's just a paper booklet. They have good steaks, too, by the way.

Well if you were to visit my part of the world, you'd be travelling quite a trip. There are several beautiful natural resorts here nearby, the entire Croatian coastline can be quite impressive. I would definitely recommend coming in the summer, when the temperature is around 30 degrees Celsius and sea temperature around 25 or more. Swimming, sun tanning and other beach activities are very much desired.

Local cuisine would probably sit well with you, since many tourists name it as excellent. You could most certainly count on a cup of coffee, directions and guidance of the region. Since I see men issue is also active, you would probably fall victim to the mediterranean charm of the locals. Many women make the same mistake. Year after year. Curious phenomena

[robjones]

Last part sounds familiar.

The Onion: Point / Counterpoint
"European Men are So much More Romantic than American Men" vs "American Women are So Easy"

[kju385]

Both articles have good points. American women are far more agressive than European, and less inhibited. On the other hand, Mediterranean men are known for their seductive approach and appreciation of women. I shall remain neutral in my observation

No, I think you have made your intentions known. Let's hope Mama Cricket is in a good mood.

[kju385]

My offer was coffee only, my talents are dormant at the moment. But I'm sure others would be willing to help a lady in distress

Sure, to coffee.
