No thong, I regret to say. In the dream, you and your family had good looks but were more traditional in appearance and attire than I've imagined here in that other dreamworld, DAR. The only dream-and-DAR images that matched were your expressive eyes and your energetic supermom direction of the goings-on at the Baggage Claim area.

The ooey-gooey bars sound muy muy bueno, as we say in South Texas.

Welcome back, Rambi!

I had such great memories picturing you in Ammo's place trying to interject hygiene into a pig sty. I did the same thing a few years ago when my son was at Holy Cross... it was a parent weekend and M and his three roommates invited us all to their apartment for a visit before the festivities. There was no place to sit...dirty clothes strewn everywhere. There was nothing to eat...the refrig had been broken for days and the remaining food was growing in size. They offered us all a drink because there were plenty of open bottles everywhere...but there were no glasses and the only paper cups were smushed on the floor.

The four sets of parents quietly assessed the situation and determined that it was the other three families that had allowed their sons to learn such horrendous behavior. We smiled and talked about the weather while the boys went to clean up. Since I had checked out the bathroom, I knew they wouldn't get clean there.

After about fifteen anxious minutes, they appeared. Hair combed, clean shirts and ties, creased pants and smelling like Macy's men's cologne counter! They looked great and we were really proud of them. I don't know how they did it, but it worked!

M, by the way, is now married and owns a beautiful home...and he's the one who is obsessed about neatness!

There's hope!
Marie

Rambi, you got away very lightly in some respects. The student standard here is to return with as much washing as your conveyance can hold. Hence you could have had an entire term's washing in your car, some of it worn often.
(plus, think of the ironing).
There's probably a dressing gown at home somewhere. LOL, perhaps he intends to study the whole time.

As for student accomodation, my mother nearly went into hysterics on paying an unplanned visit once. I'm not sure she was reassured by me saying that I never went into the kitchen... she'd already discovered the mysteriously black and sticky floor in the front room (I never bothered with that room either).
Most self-respecting bacteria give up on students, either they're no challenge or they're immune. Don't worry, it's just Darwinism in action.

(one query, from morbid fascination... what is a Beenie Weenie and is it meant to be edible?)
