If your wife moved out of your place and moved in with her old highschool friend, a friend that is a guy, and nothing has happend between them ever nor now, trying to make the marriage work for the best I am, what would you do? Give in or give up?

Sounds very shady. Happens all the time on Telemundo soaps. Hate to be the pessimist, but I'd be highly suspicious of the "nothing's ever happened" claim. If you wanna make it work, you pretty much have to go all Ricardo Montalban on her and lay down the law - either the douche or you.

I was buying some veggies yesterday.  The box stated that they were a product of Mexico/USA.  Is that California?

Who invented guacamole? That person should be made king/queen of the galaxy.

I was wondering why this died down. thanks for the bump Skip! And now my question of the day. Victor, my favorite mexifry brought us burritos today and he only had green hot sauce, why was that? Besides flavor, what are the difference's between the two? Green/red that is.

who invented guacamole?

Guacamole was found in a round about, unseemly and unsuspected country. In the late 1700's almost 1800 in Sierra Leon a fierce battle was ongoing between several wealthy citizens over fertile planting lands. Some of which had a strange and unusual fruit growing on it. It was later determined, what we now know as avocados, were brought by traders from Paraguay.  
A battle ensued in amongst many of these strange trees. Fighting had been going on for years, people were starving and food was scarce. History has it one side of this bloody confrontation were poor farmers simply trying to lay claim to enough land to feed their families. This small band of beleaguered but determined peasants fought bravely in emaciated bodies with ever growing fatigue. During the fight many of these fruit were felled by spear, machete and arrow. Trodden upon by the warriors they were crushed and ground into the bloody soil. The men's knees, elbows, chests......where ever they found themselves on the ground during the battle were stained a paste
green from these oval denizens they slipped on at every turn.
The rich were able to marshal more fighters and closed rapidly on the lagging peasants forcing them to retreat deeper into the jungle. Once they found safety however temporary they began tending to their wounds, binding cuts and gashes with shreds of their own clothing.  Their chief had a horrific wound to his cheek, tore off what remained of a pant leg and began to staunch the bleeding. As he wiped away the blood he smeared some of this slippery green paste over his lips. Before he spat it out his tongue got a taste of it. He tasted more scrapping what he could off his body. The men saw him and began doing the same. After short while realizing this paste wasn't making them sick they gathered more of this fruit. As they ate feverishly their bodies were replenished and they ultimately fought off the others winning small parcels of land for their own.
The chief of their small village, the one who stood for them all was known as Acala Guac. A person of standing was known as a mole, hence this new and wonderful food was forever then known as Guacamole!

I had too much time on my hands tonight. 

Not a bad story for pure BS. 

[Fred]

With an imagination like that, have you considered writing a book?  Fiction of course. 

[Ghoste]

Is guacamole something that is actually part of the typical Mexican diet or is it more one of those "tourist" dishes?

[Ponch ®]

Ok..so im bumping this up because I'm gonna be spending the next 7 weeks in Guanajuato, Mex. for summer school. I may have better answers .

Oh, and no kidding..the no toilet paper in the toilet thing is pretty disgusting. they tell me most buildings can handle it, but the city's sewers cant.

Bring back some pictures ponchy.     

im taking quite a few, esp. of older cars that we never got here, were pretty rare, or are no longer easy to find nowadays (think early 80's datsuns, Renaults, 2 door Dodge Diplomats (!) but that are everywhere down here, etc. Ill probably start a thread of its own for that.

Ponch......

When Mexican Americans go to Mexico, do Mexican Mexicans treat American Mexicans like Mexicans, or like Americans?
