Lesson one, you'll always forget something
Lesson two, sunburn hurts
Lesson three, there is a lot of wood in a tree
Lesson four, never underestimate a company's ability to mess up your
travel
Lesson five, never underestimate a grandma's ability to make things
better


On a real answer note:
take a pair of nail clippers
take along shoe polish


Shoe polish?


That depends almost as much on the vacation sctivities as "there is a
lot of wood in a tree".


I just got back from a week on the Outer Banks of NC. Not only didn't
I need any shoe polish, I didn't even need shoes. You don't polish
sneakers or flip-flops.

OTOH, it does tell us more than we want to know about SOME people's
vacations.


Sorry, but I apparently joined this thread started by someone I have
filtered, and missed part of the conversation. Where is it that they are
going for a vacation. That will tell me a lot.


Steve-


There was no mention of a location...Stormin Mormon thought this list
of advice items was "profound", even though he later admitted he
didn't understand what Lesson 3 had to do with vacations.

Personally, I see nothing profound about the advice.

I quote:

I thought this was (is) profound.

For a normal human being, I would find the profound statement quizzical.
But taking it into account that he still can't grasp the concept of not top
posting, from him, it makes perfect sense.

Once again, I'll voice my opinion on his "grasp" of the top posting
issue.

He grasps the concept 100%. It would be next to impossible for him not
to, considering how often it's been brought up. Even if he couldn't
figure out how to change his newsreader options to bottom post
automatically, he could still cut and paste his replies to the bottom
if he wanted to.

The only logical conclusion is that he is just flat out stubborn and
refuses to change his ways. I think he likes the attention.
