| 10th July 2009 jake | great story - From: Julie on the Urumqi trek thanks for this lovely blog!! |
| 22nd June 2009 janette | I'm so sorry - From: The Fondest Farewell to the World's Worst Most Awesome Lame Badass Dog Alex, I'm so sorry about Romeo. I'm sorry I didn't notice your post earlier. The thing about dogs, weiner dogs in particular, is that they are always the most popular member of the family. Everyone likes the dog best. |
| 11th October 2008 T.Bone | questions - From: We're leaving the country...finally.... Your hair is sooo long! Are you dying your roots brown again? Does that question enrage you like it once did in 9th grade? Will you make me soup-filled pastries when you come home? Can we change the recipe to make cheeseburger-filled pastries? |
| 15th September 2008 Julie | In all fairness.... - From: Biking Uighur-stan This was the 6th time, maybe 7th time I've had to take you to a hospital in Asia, and I was getting DAMNED sick and tired of people gathering in crowds to stare you down while you are in pain. It just pisses me off. I mean, you had blood pouring down your leg and then here's this dude just STARING at you...no lab coat, no nothing.... I was seconds away from shoo-ing him away from the room when you gave me the heads up. I'm just trying to protect you! |
| 9th May 2008 Kate! | - From: Just some pictures The picture of Julie being excited about butter made me really happy. |
| 4th May 2008 Therese | Les Toilettes - From: Just some pictures I still don't get the whole toilet in the floor thing. I mean, I understand the idea, but how does it work? What if my thighs were really tired? I wouldn't be able to hold myself up long enough to poo. Actually, I would just get a bunch of seat liners and put them around the hole and sit on it. Also...I am terribly disappointed that the answers to "name the items" a few blogs back were never revealed.... |

| 7th March 2008 Erin | Wow.. - From: We're living between two houses of ill-repute! - By Julie Looks and sounds like you guys are having a great time even with the crazy adjustments. Kudos to going out there and exploring new cultures! Glad I finally got around to checking out the journal :) Keep up the posting, I'm going to live vicariously through you guys! Texas misses you! (It just snowed 6 inches in Denton 0_0) |
| 26th February 2008 Therese | - From: We're living between two houses of ill-repute! - By Julie Whatever. "Conditioner" makes no sense! Are you "conditioning" your hair? Getting it ready for a marathon? NO! Are you putting a creamy rinse on your hair? YES! Thus, cream rinse. |
| 25th February 2008 JulieandAlex | I still have no idea - From: We're living between two houses of ill-repute! - By Julie why YOUR weirdo family calls it "Cream Rinse" when the rest of the world calls it conditioner! It's like calling shampoo "Clear Wash"! Makes me think of a certain someone's favorite color: Clear! |
| 24th February 2008 Therese | - From: We're living between two houses of ill-repute! - By Julie By "Conditioner" do you mean "Cream Rinse?" |
| 20th February 2008 Julie's Dad | Fireworks - From: Chinese New Year Julie when you get home your grounded! |
| 16th February 2008 Robin | Again, AMAZING Photo's..... - From: Tombraidering in Cambodia Thanks for sharing your trip with everyone.... |
| 16th February 2008 Robin | AMAZING..... - From: Brief from Lipe Some great photo's....what an amazing trip! Be SAFE! |
| 16th February 2008 Robin | You both are amazing, entertaining writers... - From: Exploding toilets & Rude Staff ( Julie) will expect a book when you are done with your travels.... |
| 14th February 2008 Alx's Dad | response - From: Chinese New Year Orwellian? Oh well. It is widely known that Alex's King Fu sucks. |
| 14th February 2008 Janet | your father - From: Chinese New Year Alex, Your father is trying to concoct a response to your illuminating response to his entry re the fireworks. He's waiting at this moment! Love you, Mom |
| 13th February 2008 JulieandAlex | A mote of truth... a single plankton in the ocean of father's death-cold glare - From: Chinese New Year My father's incessant public Stalinesque persecution of my right to hyperbole has stained my history so bloody and midnight black that I can only comprehend it via the modest illumination that my soul allows me to interject, however transient and fantastic it may be. Take that! |
| 13th February 2008 Alex's Dad | Fireworks - From: Chinese New Year For the record: My son is prone to two things: (1) hyperbole, and (2) an Orwellian tendency to rewrite history after the fact. He shares that latter tendency with Georgoe W. Bush. It vexes me. |
| 13th February 2008 janette | - From: Chinese New Year Julie--I insist you send me a picture of you and Alex displaying all your fingers and toes and your eyes. NOW! |
| 12th February 2008 T-bone | - From: Chinese New Year I was nervous just reading about it! We were obviously brain-washed as kids. I can't believe you didn't blow your arm off, lose an eye, catch your clothes/hair on fire, or die! |
| 11th February 2008 JulieandAlex | Well, it' s like this... - From: Julie's really loooong reflections.. I know that when I get back the number one question is going to be "how was the food?" and the number 2 question is going to be "how were the toilets?" so I'm realy just saving myself a lot of time! |
| 8th February 2008 Therese | Yummy - From: Julie's really loooong reflections.. Hey, I'm glad that book is coming in handy! And you're not a bad person if you think eating knuckles and random spare parts is gross - it is gross. I also (seriously) highly enjoy the fact that most of your blogs are about poop and food. |
| 5th February 2008 Janette | - From: Not to worry! I am very glad you are safe and warm. I was developing migraines scanning every photo out of China for two bobbing blonde heads. I am sure I spotted you at least three, four times. Or maybe it was Pitt and Jolie. Very cold here. Clevie wasn't as careful with his grooming as he should have been and his paw froze to the ground. Our laundry room isn't very well insulated and I learned that you should never thaw frozen laundry detergent in the microwave. Bubbles fill our kitchen every time we reheat our coffee along with the aroma of melted plastic. Take care, sweeties. |
| 4th February 2008 T-bone | Stay - From: Not to worry! Stay there. There's plenty of time to travel when it's not snowing. |
| 4th February 2008 Janet | Warming up? - From: Not to worry! Hey, kiddos, Has the storm lifted yet? We are having snow today, Monday. Sorry to hear that Julie has to nurse again! How is the other issue coming along? Love you, Mom |
| 1st February 2008 Robert | Wat de hey - From: On Angkor Wat! ( From Julie, a bit belated) For some reason, I can't see some of the pics. They come through just pixelated. The ones that do show, however, are awesome. What an experience for you two. |
| 31st January 2008 Janette | So lovely! - From: On Angkor Wat! ( From Julie, a bit belated) The pictures are wonderful, although only a few came through clearly on my computer. I have to say that my favorites are Busted! and I see you!. I keep seeing huddled masses of migrant workers caught in Southeast China due to the northern snow storms--I hope you two aren't in that mess. Love you! |
| 28th January 2008 Mark | Gyp and Dysentery - From: It's Official... I have amoebic dysentery. Damn Alex, You could have enjoyed the dysentery experience a lot cheaper and a lot closer to home if you had only drank from Poppy's well. He also would have probably gotten a kick out of it too. I told your mom that my world is a lot smaller than yours. Good Luck |
| 26th January 2008 JulieandAlex | We have a winners. - From: It's Official... I have amoebic dysentery. Sorry Rach-bomb. Even if you had commented before Julie's mom, I would have found a way to disqualify you. But email me your new home address anyway. And Mom, I responded to Dad because, while you know that I love you, with him, nobody's really sure. So the winners are: Robert, TJ, T-Bone, Beth, and Janette. Expect a surprise... you know, like when you believe in magic. |
| 26th January 2008 Mom | I don't rate! - From: It's Official... I have amoebic dysentery. Okey, dokey. Your dad gets a response, and I receive squat...and I'm the one who gives you something akin to sympathy. Get well soon! Love you bunches. |
| 25th January 2008 Rachel | You keep blaming the bangers ... - From: It's Official... I have amoebic dysentery. But I've seen at least a billion pictures of you swimming in fresh water. Ameoba, elephant-shit, dead stuff-infested fresh water. |
| 25th January 2008 Janette | I don't do competition - From: It's Official... I have amoebic dysentery. Love your blog, share it with my friends, read it everyday, Julie knows I loathe competition and orders of any kind, so the fact that I am responding to this proves my love for you both. Janette |
| 25th January 2008 JulieandAlex | only 1 spot left - From: It's Official... I have amoebic dysentery. We're in the homestretch here. And also, for the record, those haircut shots are from Alaska. I just used them to fill space. I'm saving the amazing Angkor Wat shots for the upcoming Angkor Wat blog. I dare some sucka to front on that mad appropriateness. And Dad: 1) frankly, your hair-envy is a bit embarrassing; 2) Romeo pooped in your coffee this morning; and 3) don't steal my Deep Thoughts thunder. |
| 25th January 2008 Dad | Amoebas and Cambodia - From: It's Official... I have amoebic dysentery. 1. Your haircut looks like IT has amoebic dysentery. Find a real barber. 2. The dogs eat dead cows the farmer dumped in the woods. They drink swamp water. THEY never get amoebic dysentery. Wuss. 3. The Cambodians are beautiful. They are people. We are all we have. We are all ugly. We are all beautiful. We are just people. |
| 24th January 2008 T-bone | I'm commenting!!!! - From: It's Official... I have amoebic dysentery. There's a movie where a little kid says, "Amoebic dysentary." Do you know what movie that is? I can hear it in my head, but can't remember what it's from. How's Cambodia? I hear the people there are beautiful... |
| 24th January 2008 Beth (your hockey buddy) | Ouch - From: It's Official... I have amoebic dysentery. Ohch, I've only been sick in Mexico and it only lasted a few days. I hope you're bug goes away soon! |
| 24th January 2008 Janet | The haircut! - From: It's Official... I have amoebic dysentery. Geez, Alex, I hope you finished the sides of your hair cut. Guess you don't have an iron stomach after all. I'll send an email soon. Big hug, Mom |
| 24th January 2008 JulieandAlex | The comments don't post - From: The Race is On until we can accept them .Unfortunately. So this means the comments aren't shown until I check this. Sorry, just the one annoying feature of an otherwise pretty cool free blog site. Love you ,T! |
| 24th January 2008 Therese | I try! - From: The Race is On I always try to comment, but they're never there when I'm done!!!! If this one shows up, I'll both be shocked AND I'll look like a liar. Let's see what happens... |
| 20th January 2008 Dennis (Chiang Mai) | - From: Ci!-vi!-li!- za...-tion? Hey Julie and Alex. It's going great with the two of you I read. Looking forward to check out on your muscles and abs.!! But first I'll check Julie if that's okay with you, haha. Great stories and pictures. I'm so jalous. Still working and figuring out a way to leave Holland as soon as possible. You have fun! Dennis |
| 20th January 2008 Janet | I don't know what to say! - From: Julie on Tuol Sleng and the Killing Fields - Read at your own risk Julie, Your description of the Killing Fields and S-21 brought tears to my eyes. Beyond that, I don't know what I can say that would mean anything. Love ya, Janet |
| 17th January 2008 Therese | Best Picture Ever! - From: Floating through Laos New Years Eve Without the Flash is the greatest picture I've ever seen. |
| 10th January 2008 JulieandAlex | That's why they called me Just-Short Julie! - From: Gibbons and Christmas and the Mekong River! Because I was so freaking scared to jump off, I nearly always ended up dangling some several yards from the landing. And hadto pull myself in, which is both embarassing and not easy when your arms look like limp strands of linguine! So the nickname Just Short Julie caught on. |
| 9th January 2008 Therese | What if... - From: Gibbons and Christmas and the Mekong River! What if you don't get a good push-off and you wind up dangling in the middle of a zipline hundreds of feet in the air? |
| 27th December 2007 Dan "Kung Fu Dumbledore" Kingsley | Ill crush you - From: Merry Christmas Imagining my kung fu as weak is the closest you will ever get to beating me. Julie is my secret apprentice, who will use a sliver of my teachings to embarass your weak skillz. |
| 23rd December 2007 The Wes | Pass the Poopwater please - From: Exploding toilets & Rude Staff ( Julie) packed full of down home goodness im sure |
| 23rd December 2007 The Wes | Awesomeness - From: Scuba!!! We did it! see above, Sounds like the awesomeness! |
| 18th December 2007 Candyann | toilets - From: Exploding toilets & Rude Staff ( Julie) After spending a month in Thailand I never had such trouble with the toilets. I also didnt ever come across a situation where I didnt have my shoes to wear into the washroom. There is no toilet paper anywhere in the washrooms and that is expected. The poorer people would steal the toilet paper out of the public washrooms. Its not a big deal to carry some tissue around anyways. You can buy packs of kleenex at the 7-11 that are a nice size. And as for the hotel you speak of, I have heard online about others constantly having trouble there. Most places and people are nice, I wonder why they have such an overall rude staff. Hope your having a good time in Thailand, I personally cant wait to go back. :) |
| 17th December 2007 Kate | oh my god hilarious - From: Exploding toilets & Rude Staff ( Julie) That just makes me laugh. I can't wait till I have adventures like that. Love you! |
| 14th December 2007 Mary Kay | Toilets - From: Exploding toilets & Rude Staff ( Julie) I laffed out loud!! I remember the icky toilets in China/Tibet too!! MK |
| 14th December 2007 Mary Kay | Pine City - From: Brief from Lipe Love the Buddha pics! Love IT ALL!! I love reading your blog -- you guys rock. Namaste! MK |
| 11th December 2007 Mom Janet M | washboard abs - From: Ci!-vi!-li!- za...-tion? Okey, dokey, when do we get to see this bronzon body and washboard abs??? You said "two days." The Trib published an article about Khao Sok National Park and Elephant Hills Nature Lodge. Is this where you were? The author's name is Cindy Loose. Apparently she was with a group similar to yours, probably not yours or she would have mentioned the "washboard abs" on Alex??? Perhaps... |
| 10th December 2007 Mom Janet | Good to hear from you! - From: Ci!-vi!-li!- za...-tion? Yes, I was becoming a little concerned...when a couple of days stretches to more like 10. Looking forward to seeing the pics. Love you, Julie and Alex! |
| 30th November 2007 Tom Bode | Doctor, Doctor - From: Julie says: Trek Talk Hello Julie and Alex... still having fun? Dennis and i are already back in holland. Can we listen to the recording at julie's guesthouse somewere? |
| 28th November 2007 Dad | - From: Alex on Chiang Mai Interesting. The ancient temple in the middle of the market, ageless spiritualism alongside rampant third-world commerce. That is not as compelling as some Thai dude bombing Julie with a Roman candle while perched on a moped sticking out the back end of a Datsun pickup. Where is your head? |
| 22nd November 2007 Stanley Stanforth the Third | Omlet wanted me to tell you.... - From: Julie says: Trek Talk Happy thanksgiving. And your dead to him. And me. Mostly me. Love and sloppy kisses for alex, coal for julie. |
| 20th November 2007 Matt | passin' out - From: First Week I feel you on the just passin' out thing. We did the same thing on like day 2. We went pack to the room to "rest" for a little bit, and woke up 3 hours later. I believe I am just going to copy off you and use this site to make a blog, since yours is dope. Jenn also says hi. Ciao. |
| 17th November 2007 mel | adding comments - From: Khao San Road i keep sending you assholes comments but nothing is showing up. WTF. luvu |
| 17th November 2007 mel | hola - From: Khao San Road did you get my last message? lovy you guys |
| 16th November 2007 Rachel | AC - From: Julie on Post-Op Alex Don't get used to that air conditioner. I had a great collection of pictures of all the crazy English signs but lost a lot of them when my computer crashed. One of my favorites was "Lets get back to our Natures." I works on so many levels. |
