Lol. I have no clue. But you better watch out... I've seen programs where dolphins sexually assault the people they swim with. LMAO. Ew.

I think there's a place in Flordia... er Discovery Cove. But, I'm not sure how long your allowed to actaully stay with the dolphins. I guess you could get certified for diving and swim with them for real too.

Or Bahamas :)

If I ever get the chance to do it I hope the don't find me attractive.:D

Now that I've sat and thought about it, there are so many things that I still want to do in my life, I'm still relatively young (37) I guess I should start finding ways to do these things without relying on winning the lottery. Oh but it would just be so much easier if my numbers came up.

HC- Going to buy some chocolate today, just got to hide it from my kids.:p

Oh, and you'll never guess. My husbands company is having a ski day on March 3. They are paying for the rentals, lift tickets, food and drink and the kids are invited too. Would I be considered a wimp if I just video taped from the bottom of the hill?

LOL! Skiing... yeah, just video tape from the bottom. Be the videographer. :) Every great adventure needs a scribe!

Yeah... I had to stop for some Tolblerone this morning! ;)

Alty · Feb 21, 2008, 12:44 PM

Hope your craving for chocolate wasn't my fault HC. I'm personally going for the Ritter sport nougat. D**n now my mouth is watering, am I drooling? Got to find my happy place, wait, I know my happy place, the chocolate aisle in any grocery store.

HistorianChick · Feb 21, 2008, 12:46 PM

My happy place? The Godiva store with a history book :)

Ooo... Ritter... yummm...

As I sit here with a mouth full of Tolblerone. Wow...

Alty · Feb 21, 2008, 12:49 PM

Now I want a toblerone. You fight dirty HC.:D

The sweetest thing in my house right now is a banana and I'd have to fight my daughter for it. She'd win, she fights dirty too.:p

Gernald · Feb 21, 2008, 01:36 PM

I'm sure you're a fine skiier and yes, your kids would think you're a wimp.

Anyway, they'd probably enjoy it more if they could watch you fall the whole way down. Now that's a memory that lasts a life time.

My mum fell once at Loon Mt. and landed on her back and it was soooo slippery she slid the whole way down ski's spread eagle. Lucky it was only a blue square and she wasn't hurt... but it was hilarious.

Alty · Feb 22, 2008, 08:27 AM

Gernald- You obviously didn't read my post about my skiing experience, or lack thereof. Wimp or not I'm not putting skis on, no way no how, at my age I could break a hip.:)

The kids have never been skiing, I'm a bit worried about them. My daughter is extremely accident prone, the poor kid can't walk down a hallway without hurting herself, do I really want to let her go skiing? Maybe I'm just being paranoid because of my lack of skills. I think my son will do okay, but it still worries me. Why are mothers such worry warts?

HC- Got my chocolate, got my chocolate, got my chocolate last night. Last night I got my chocolate, got my chocolate last night. It's gone.:(

HistorianChick · Feb 22, 2008, 08:29 AM

LOL! Altenweg - you make me giggle. Yeah, I got my chocolate... but I also got coffee ice cream, dark chocolate, and whipped cream! Mmm... dark chocolate shaved on top of a beautiful bowl of Breyers coffee ice cream, topped with whipped cream...

Mmmmm...

Now I'm enjoying black coffee because I used up my quota for sweets last night! ;)

Alty · Feb 22, 2008, 08:33 AM

The chocolate's gone, the coffee lives on. I'm on my second cup already, the kids get up at the butt crack of dawn to get ready for school, if I didn't have coffee I'd be a zombie. Trying to talk hubby into picking up some chocolate on his way home.

I did have a toast for all of you last night while I drank a beer after watching survivor. I can't believe they voted out Yau man!

HistorianChick · Feb 22, 2008, 08:37 AM

I toasted the first yummy bite of my coffee/chocolate sundae! Lol...

Sorry, I'm clueless when it comes to survivor... actually, I'm clueless when it comes to most shows. I'm an oddity - no cable, no internet, no phone line at home... just my cell phone. People think I'm nuts, but I enjoy it. I'm a movie and book addict... if I like a show, I'll buy it on DVD. Its much easier for me :)

And, more time to eat chocolate! ;)

Coffee is my elixer of life... my sweet personality and sunny disposition is in direct proportion to the amount of coffee I consume... Sanity depends upon caffeine in my world.

Alty · Feb 22, 2008, 08:50 AM

What kind of books do you enjoy, I'm a book addict myself. Love Sue Harrison, waiting for Jean M. Auel to hurry and finish the last book in the Earth Children series. Love Dean Koontz, Tami Hoag, the list goes on. I'm always on the lookout for a new book to absorb.

Survivor is an obsession, it's like watching a car wreck, you don't want to look but you can't help it. That's why I need a beer afterwards.

I also love House, and Law and Order SVU. The rest of the shows on TV I couldn't care less about.

I agree about the coffee, I can get down right nasty if I don't get my daily fix. I've actually noticed that if I answer posts before my coffee I'm usually a bit mean. Maybe I should put a disclaimer as my signature. If I haven't had my coffee you will get the truth, the whole truth, and it won't be sugar coated.

HistorianChick · Feb 22, 2008, 08:58 AM

I've thought about adding this disclaimer on my signature... **DISCLAIMER: This post was answered before my first coffee; therefore, I cannot be held responsible.**

I adore literature, mysteries, and historical non-fiction. Shakespeare, Agatha Christie, and Bruce Catton. There is pretty much a complete listing over in Books and Literature - "Someone give me something to read."

As for TV - I've bought the complete series of Bones, X-files, Gilmore Girls, Stargate... I do enjoy House but haven't splurged to buy the seasons. I'm one of these purists - I have to watch a show from the beginning to get "in to it." I was watching Lost for a while, but then life took precedence and I got out of watching it. I would like to start CSI again - I enjoyed that as well.

Movies? Anything, provided there's not a lot of unnecessary gore. My movie tastes range from 300 to Breakfast at Tiffany's and everything in between! :) Yes, I'm random.

If I were to win the lottery, sadly, a lot of the "extra, non-allocated funds" would go to buying TV shows and movies... lol!

Alty · Feb 22, 2008, 09:07 AM

I forgot to add CSI, I like Miami and Los Vegas not fond of CSI New York. I tried watching Lost the other day, apparently you have to watch every episode, otherwise you yourself will be Lost.:)

I'm not into gore either, although I have to say that SAWI was good, not because of the gore, but because it was the first movie that surprised me at the end. I honestly didn't see it coming, that's the only reason I enjoyed it. I love movies like Gone with the Wind, Wizard of Oz, any Disney Cartoon (remember, I have kids) Any Pixar movie (once again the kids). If the movie makes me think then I love it, I don't like brainless goop.

I'd like to buy some books about chocolate, but I'm afraid I'd get so hungry that I'd eat the book.;)

I've got to go buy some bunny food now, oh and bird food, oh I think I'm down to my last scoop of dog food too. Walmart here I come. Hey, Walmart has CHOCOLATE!:D

Speaking of... have you seen Chocolat? Johnny Depp... Chocolate... can't get much better than that! :D

Yessss, Walmart has Tolblerone! And Whitmans. And Cadburys...

Mmm... Crud. Altenweg, you enabler, you! Rah...

Alty · Feb 22, 2008, 11:54 AM

I haven't seen Chocolat, although I do find Johnny Depp to be very yummy. A movie with both Johnny and chocolate may be too much for my system to take.

Got a toblerone and a nougat concoction, don't remember the name and the wrapper, it has been tossed as I already ate it. MMMMMMM!

Sorry for being an enabler, I've been told that before.:) Hope you get some chocolate relief soon. Ahhh, sometimes chocolate is better than sex, only sometimes, depends on the chocolate.:p

My wife is athletic and active, but her idea of the perfect ski trip is to sit by the fire in the lodge with a cup o hot cocoa spiked with baileys, nussled under a blanket with a good book to read. Maybe look at the idiots outside trying not to break their ankles.

Funny.. that's her idea of a perfect camping trip too...
