Watching you sit in bed at 6:55 looking at the clock while the other lady gripes, priceless.

Actually, they're looking for a geek wife ...
... should lend them mine huh?
What's funny is that the guy who runs the site (Gadgetopia) lives out in Iowa ... so it'll be interesting to see what type of unix chix they come up with.

I did not dislike Bruce and Tina, they seemed like genuinely nice people and it seemed like they both learned some important lessons. Some people are well-intentioned, but misguided. Maybe they will use the money to go on a mission trip of some kind. That way they could have a vacation, but use some of the money in a useful way.

Wow, what an idea. Swap American wives with wives in other countries. I wonder if ABC ever got an idea of doing something like that?

Actually, I asked them about why they can only swap wives in the contiguous US - they said it has something to do with their insurance. Otherwise, they could find lotsa material in Alaska, for sure!

Man, I want to stay on here all night and read more about it! Dana you should write a journal of every day and tell us all about what happened. Did you go shopping for yourself? Get to buy groceries, visit any touristy type destinations? Tell us everything.

I wonder if Bruce gets whacked when Tina gets home for always blaming her.
Man, passive men just make my skin crawl.

I hate to say it, but I think Tina's boob job cost more than your convertible. And they DO have a cupholder.
I know, I'm terrible. Massive mea culpas.

Where'd the rabbit come from? Was it a Texas bunny that arrived with Vicky?

Yes they are. I googled the names a week or two back as soon as I knew what the name of the other family was and where they lived. Bruce is half owner of a LARGE well known plumbing contracting business. They are raking in millions.
I expect they did the show because it was something different and interesting to do.
