Most hotels give you clean sheets and clean towels everyday when they clean your room whether you need them or not. I guess the trend now is to leave it up to the guest -if they want to be more "environmentally friendly" they can keep their same towels or sheets for a day or two, but that is still at the guest's option, not the housekeeping staff.

LMAO... I was in my driveway walking to my car and was honked at. I thought to myself people still honk. LOL- once upon a time, I would feel a little offended and annoyed if someone honked at me when I was walking down the street. In the rare occasions when it happens now, it kind of makes me smile. what a difference a couple of decades makes, huh?

I've heard that some of the larger resorts actually search the housekeeping staff before they leave at the end of the day - every day. How humiliating is that? They take tourism seriously over there, period. Still, I prefer to think they are decent honest people who wouldn't steal even if they were not afraid of getting caught.

When I vacation in Mexico, I stay at "budget" hotels all the time. I can leave cash or jewelry out in the open and it won't be touched. If it is intended as a tip, I have to leave a note with it or the maid will not take it. I've never had any personal items stolen or used, and these people are literally working for a couple of dollars a day.

Hot water, clean towels, clean sheets and a reliable internet connection are all very reasonable expectations for any business traveller at any decent hotel. They claim to be better than just decent. They dropped the ball and you've got a legitimate complaint they really can't argue about. The makeup is your word against hers. I never said you were being hysterical - I said that by focusing on the makeup first to some people you will sound hysterical and they won't take it seriously. I suggested that first and foremost you address the legitimate complaints that they can't reasonably deny, and address them at a corporate level. Any hotel manager that allowed all of that to happen really isn't going to care if his staff is stealing from the guests or screwing with their personal items as you must know by now. And as John Mitchell pointed out- what do you expect? It's France!

OK, a supposedly 4 star hotel- no towels, dirty sheets, no internet connection (at a hotel that markets itself to business travellers) no hot water, but you are complaining about your makeup? Maybe you should say something to your employer about the filthy dump they put you up in and start with the real issues you can actually prove. And bring those concerns to Holiday Inn's corporate offices, not the hotel manager in Paris who obviously does not give a flying f***. The Holiday Inn chain has some basic standards they attempt to maintain and might actually do something for you. I am not saying you are not telling the truth but when you start with the makeup instead of the other stuff, you just sound hysterical and high maintenance. Sorry - just my .02.

Good point! You've got to wonder- did they deliberately start up this drama because Octomom the other mega family were stealing their thunder? And I agree they are annoying- and she's a control freak, he's a cheater AND totally spineless. They deserve each other.

I don't condone infidelity in any way, but these people put themselves into the public spotlight and have to live with the consequences. I don't have much sympathy for either one of them. I do feel sorry for the kids since they had no choice in the matter.

I think he gets his ass chewed by her on a regular basis no matter what- she'd find something wrong if he told her good morning. She is not a nice person. I haven't seen more than 5 minutes of the show total but all she seems to do is put him down, bark orders at him and the kids, whine about how hard her life is then pat herself on the back for being such a great mom. Whatever ...............

Its kind of sad that we set the bar so low when it comes to men. This guy gets a pat on the back for doing the right thing and being honest. I don't have anything to add. I'll just reinforce what Skymama said- do the research, learn as much as you can and assess the risk. And whatever decision you make about him and your relationship is OK.

Kick some Kobe butt! I will root for ANY team playing against the Lakers!

I think you can say that about most countries, large and small.

Sean Connery aside (ooohhh yeah) I remember being in Europe in my early 20s. Even when the accents were really heavy, I had no problems understanding people in Ireland or England, But Scottland? There were times we would have to ask 3 different people for directions before we got an answer we understood! Still sexy though!
-
I agree about the phone book 100%.

I LOVE Andy Garcia's voice and accent, but I wouldn't call it Spanish - much more Latin American than European. Very sexy though! I think a Spanish accent (from Spain) is pretty distinctive whether they are speaking Spanish or English. With Andy Garcia- I think its a combination of the deep voice and the slight accent that does it for me. He's kind of cute too, but its the voice that gets me the most!

I don't know you, but it sounds to me like you are being a good dad and giving yourself and your son some time to recover. The sky isn't going anywhere. Hang in there and get better, OK.
-
If that's the case, then giving it up can't be an easy choice, so why make him feel worse about it?

I'll refer to your previous post, http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3547185;page=unread#unread: What's changed between these 2 posts? Whatever happened to the old saying: "pain is temporary, but trophies last forever"? Crappy commenst aside, it's good to hear you're on the road to recovery. I hope you can work through the issues and get back in the air again soon! Wow- way to kick a guy when he is down and doing some serious soul searching. There is more to life than skydiving and making the decision to start jumping or continue jumping is an individual personal choice under the best of circumstances. There is no shame in walking away from it, ever, for any reason and he doesn't owe anyone an explanation.

I'm sure I will cave eventually. Especially since I am planning a vacation with both sisters and their daughters have been invited too. (Don't know yet how they feel about hanging out in Mexico with their moms and aunts!) I'm sure Facebook would be an easier way to make plans and stuff. But, I don't really see the appeal of people I haven't seen or thought about for years (decades) contacting me through Facebook and I know people who do this or have had it happen to them. I'm sure there are some people I have lost contact with over the years that I would be happy to hear from, but I think for every one of them, there are at least 3 that would set off the stalker alarms!

My sister joined Facebook- claimed her two 20something daughters encouraged her to do so and for a long time they were her only "friends". One day she "busted" my niece for vacation pictures she posted showing her smoking, then asked her about something else she had posted on facebook but had not told her mother about. Needless to say, my niece is not too happy she encouraged her mother to join facebook anymore! People keep telling me to join but I still think of Facebook as a place for college aged kids. I don't want to invade my nieces' space and I don't want them invading mine!
-
She's not even nice to the kids. She treats them the same way she treats her husband- insulting and and controlling. Those kids are going to need a lot of therapy down the road!

Simple- you keep your bed and the guests sort out the rest. You might want to tell them to bring sleeping bags and air matresses, maybe even a tent if any of them want to get busy and don't want an audience.
-
If you are planning on spending almost every weekend at the DZ, just buy yourself a tent from Walmart or something. Mooching trailer space from your buddies gets old after one or two times max and I seriously doubt you could find 4 sky chics willing to share their beds with you.

I wonder how much a new set of balls is going for? I've got a pair in my dresser, but those were a gift.
