Hi all! Most of you know I am currently on a business trip to Israel. Having a blast although I miss you all!!!

Thought I'd share some of my experiences here...

The guy I work for (Mr. Big, as I refer to him) is a pretty well-known guy, given his wealth and all. But the people that work for him in Israel are VERY well known here!! Everywhere we go there are press trying to take our pictures which seems totally absurd to me!

We are getting the royal treatment on our spare time -- private tours of Tel Aviv and tomorrow to Jerusalem. There's so much history here it's insane!

But the craziest thing I've seen so far is this: the "Lord of War" is staying in my hotel!!! My first day walking out of the hotel there were press all over some Russian-looking guy and taking his pic, etc. When we asked our driver and tour guide who that was, he explained that he's this rich Russian Jew that is rumoured to be the guy they made the movie after. How cool is that?!

That's it for now... this is Sapphyre, reporting from Tel Aviv.

Awesome. Wonder who the "Lord of War" is doing business with in Israel.

Awesome Saph!

Can we expect pictures?

I have pics but I am too busy to shrink them down to size!! (Or has that been fixed?)

Sapphyre's mood is mellow.... and that reminded me of...

"There was a time when I was in a hurry as you are,
I was like you.
There was a day when I just had to tell my point of view,
I was like you.
Now I don't mean to make you frown.
No, I just want you to slow down.

Have you never been mellow?
Have you never tried to find a comfort from inside you?
Have you never been happy just to hear your song?
Have you never let someone else be strong?"

Yes, I fucking quoted Olivia Newton John.

I have pics but I am too busy to shrink them down to size!! (Or has that been fixed?)

If you need a tool to shrink them down, let me know. I'm too lazy to do it manually so I wrote a tool to do it on my server. I can shrink them down to "websize" and then ship them back to you.

PM me as I'm not checking this as regularly as I used to... stupid work.

Who is this "Mr. Big". Tell me now, I demand to know!!!!

I think the picture thing has been fixed.

He's not celebrity famous... so the name probably wouldn't mean anything to you.


Sapph! That's crazy, you didn't tell me about the paparazzi!

Should we expect to see pictures of you arrested for a DUI on tabloid sites any time soon?

Is he Canadian businessman famous though?

She used a code word for a reason.

She really isn't allowed to talk about it.


:)

You refer to him as "Mr. Big"? Should Fox be scared, haha. j/k

A Famous Canadian?

Isn't that an oxymoron?

Only because you think they're all American.

That's because they all eventually become Americans.

Take Celine Dion.

Please.

Take Celine Dion.

Please.

hahahahaha. Oh how I hated that song from Titanic

Brown has 666 posts. hmm...

I can either tell you who I work for... or I can share these awesome stories with you. Just not both. I think it's better to be able to share some of the stories. :)

Then there are those really interesting stories that I can't share... which is frustrating as hell!!!

Devil in the house. Very creepy!!!

Saw the Gov. of Florida today in Jerusalem. So much going on!!! Too tired to upload pics. But will do so soon.

One more day of touring tomorrow and I get to ride a helicopter!!

Hi all! I am back in Israel for a few days. Got here safe and sound.

Hey, Canadians... guess who was on my flight? Bob Rae. Like right across the aisle from me. I wouldn't have recognized him if someone hadn't told me who he was.

Ing - I am staying at the Hilton again. Would you like a full report at the end of my trip?

I just realized I never uploaded pics from my last trip. And now it says I am still over my maximum... Killian, can you fix me please?

Heya Sapph, hope you have a safe trip!

The screenshots section is saying you're over your max? You should have a 50Mb limit and it looks like you're only using around 10MB. When you go to upload, how much space does it say you have and what max does it give you?

I'm just trying to attach some jpegs and getting this error:

testing myself.
