Sept. 4, 2005,
: About a month ago, I hit my low point. I was sleeping on the bus bench outside BIFF!, I won't even MENTION the Trans-Sexual episode! - then going home to my parents place for about
a week, only to have to change my mother's shit-filled commode & pull my father back into bed after he would fall out in the middle of the night.
I really don't see how much lower you could get.
Well, here it is early September, I just spent a week in a god-sent hostle that only cost me $24.00 a night, & while I hated the idea of having to share
a room with a bunch of snoring strangers, it was a helluva lot cheaper than $130.00 a night at the wallett-raping Motels I had been staying in previous, AND more importantly, WASN'T a bus bench.
Cut-to today. I am writing this on my computer at a music store, which my boss BIFF! - more of a friend really, not even the authoratative type, but he has
graciously allowed me to crash in his store, displaying incredible faith in me. Not only have I had the BEST couple nights sleep I've had all summer, but I'm finding
songs in the store, that I've been looking for for over 25 years!
I mean, I didn't even apply for any kind of job here, I just happened to meet BIFF! at the other hostle, who happened to know BIFF!,
who happened to need a computer guy & I, who have always loved music just happened to be looking for work, suddenly have this
brand-spanking new powerful system at my disposal at work, I am appointed I.T. guy, without so much as a boo at my credentials, I mean
seriously, how could one NOT beleive in god with all this good fortune? Add to that, the many friends I have made here so far, Nanaimo is just such a perfect fit for me.
So, here it is - Sunday. I am sitting in my barracks(room) here in Nanny,
& already I am questioning the wisdom of BOTH my weening myself off the dope
and moving here. This one guy, dave seems nice enough, but he's a little too
chummy for my comfort. He doesen't yet seem to read that I'm not really looking
for friends here. I made the mistake of announcing mein intentions this morning
to walk to 7-11, at which he quickly invited himself along. While he wasn't bad company,
I still didn't really want anybody along. That was supposed to my private think time.
& when I got to the mall & nearly had 2 run-ins with people who had the nerve to
either wait to use the phone I was on, or would saddle up next to me & use the phone beside mine.
The NERVE of these people. Does NOBODY own a cell phone in this god-forsaken Redneck town?
So, I toughed it out & finally was able to get some so called private time to leave my message
for Cakes, in which I realyed my irritation at people. Obviously I'm not in the best of moods here.
Yes, my beat-offs are back to their satisfying norm, but the trade-off, of course is my
is my irritability & general dislike of people once again. Should make
things interesting when it comes time to look for a new job.
Speaking of which - that time is comming VERY quickly. I estimate
a matter of weeks now. I've probably got the rest of October to bum around, but come Nov.
I'll HAVE to get a job, as my U.I. runs out after that. GOD, I PRAY I don't just settle for
the 1st thing that comes up, like I did this place - although I could do worse I suppose,
I still DEARLY miss my old place.
from ex-security chumps.
Scarred with Graffitti, she stood throughout the years.
Cholking grip of progress, raining bitter tears.
Long live the shack. Long live the shack.
Something,something .....
blah,blah...
And so in ten summers, we'll wonder Still Creek way.
To see you rise from ashes, to live another day.
Long live the shack.Long live the shack.
It's Sunday at 7:30 am & I have just listened to my daily messages of Cakes
going through the old tapes & I just felt like writing down the lyrics
to Long Live The Shack for some reason.
Theres no denying that Dan's detailed description in his messages makes me
yearn for those days of innocence, where absolutely nothing mattered.
My god, where DID 1989 go?
TRoday, I am just sitting on my bed here in Nanaimo, just living day to day
Knowing I'm gonna have to find a job & soon. In 9 weeks my U.I. runs out & I'm
gonna have to work again. Meanwhile, I'm getting along fine with my roomates here,
although I can't wait till Doug & Dave move out next month. I've already started exposing
them to the full dose of BIFF!, in hopes that they'll back off being so chummy.
I really don't want to get too close to anyone right now. Paul is enough
but what I REALLY wish is to meet a girl finally. I came close with BIFF!- so who knows?
Maybe the odds are better here. From what I hear, they're supposed to be.
Not much to report here, I'm just taking the day off & waiting for someone to put some
coffee on.
to investigate doug's charity scam. I figure I should at least
check it out, before I kibosh it. I owe myself that much at least. watched the movie: This Boy's Life last night,
courtesy of Paul. There were a couple of fight scenes, really violent I had to hold back
& restrain myself from biting in front of the guys. yes, even those
old habits have returned. I mean, there's just something about
men fighting. I don't know.
Ah for that sweet while where you've just downed your coffee & you're just waiting for the effects to kick in.
Thursday morning, Oct 27, 2005 & already I've managed to duck two people. While on the way back from the store,
I'm pretty sure Greg passed me on his bike, no doubt circling like a Vulture in search of his beloved BIFF!
& of course, the nanno-second I set foot in the door, Paul calls for me & I quickly inform Larry I'm not in.
Maybe I should just give in to my male adorers. Except for BIFF!, I've never had any females pursue me like these two.
Maybe they're tied in to my creditors. I wouldn't be surprised.
I stil can't seem to bring myself to go looking for work & I know why. I've become too comfortable in my current
situation & why not? All I have to do to get some money is remember to file a false 2 minute report via telephone
every 2nd friday & VIOLA! - instant $$$ come Tuesday. I know that I'll have to do something very soon & I've made up my
mind to go down to the Enjoyment office Monday.
I returned from the loveables Wed night (nov 2) & had an enjoyable crossing
on the chowican. There was maybe like 50 people aboard & unlike my previous
trip on the joke bay, where I did nothing, but sit in my seat the whole trip,
This time, I actually went to the cafeteria & indulged - deviating somewhat
from mein diet, however I did manage to excercise some restraint, whereby
I ordered the fries without the burger, as well as fruit salad & salad & a
a bran muffin. Of note, I noticed as we were pulling in, the Alberro was tied up at
berth #3 for some reason. Unfortunately, I couldn't take many pictures, as I was tied
down with all my baggage, including a garbage bag, carrying the rest of
my jerseys, which was barely able to hold together until I got out of
the cab calloway at which point, the bag conveniently fell apart.
Speaking of cabs, I was a little amazed when the ferry got in at 10:30,
& there wasn't a single cab to be seen. I actually had to call for one, as did many other people
which-of course, cause dme to go into a tirade about people not driving
cars & not taking a bus, I'm sure anyone within earshot knew I was nuts.
But I got home, to find the old boys still up, of course & I greeted them
& soon went to sleep.
THURSDAY(Nov 3) , was my action day. I awoke to the usual stirrings of 1 Douglas C
& decided rather than wait till Monday, I would go to the U.I. office today
so without even showering, I dressed, put on a splash of accidentally too much cologne
& waited outside in the monsoon for the bus. And, of course - when I got to the UI office
just after 8:00, I find out that it doesn't actually open till 9! - great! So now I have
to kill off an hour in the pouring cold rain & there just HAPPENS, by co-incidence to be
a coffee shop right across the street. I wasn't gonna deviate from my coffee diet, so I
instead, did go to the coffee shop on the waterfront, j-avawocky & ordered a wholewheat bagel
& token small cappucino, which I hardly touched & sat at the front window & witnessed
the wind & rain fury, which had cancelled both the harbourlinx & bc ferry sailings that morning.
well after an hour or so of sitting in the comparitively warm & cozy coffee shop, it was time'to get going, so I headed up to the
u.i. office where they promptly redirected me to an office further down the street, where I fille dout some forms
& managed to fire off my resume to nco. I really don't want to work there, but i figured it
would be a wise move to cover my ass. better to have too many options open, rather than too few.
Next, I was referred to Stephanie, who told me about this pay for training thing. wanting to investigate
this further, I then was referred to Nigel, whom took me into his office & closed the door.
Immediately when that dooe closed, I felt the the pressure of being in a job interview,
even though I actually wasn't, I still realized that when the time comes, to sit down for
a real one, I'm gonna miss the dope.
I'm still not sure just exactly what transpired in that meeting, but I think I started the process
of signing up for the paid training thing, which ultimately, i hope will extend my u.i.
i never thought i'd find myself shilling for a charity. but that's xactly what i found myself doing today.
credit 1 douglas c for working on me long enough to make it seem palatable.
you'll only have to stand & hold a box, is how he presented it. somewhat like the impression muffy gave me back in '92
where he was able to goof off all night & record at cakes's place. well just like back in '94, I was brought back down to earth when i actually tried it.
there i was. in the freezing, blowing cold rain, doing something that was SO not me.
i tried to look comfortable, but i was soaled, i was wet & I was cold. i'm sure the only reason i got anything
was people took pity on me for being so courageous.
well, as unpleasant an exprience as it was, after saying: "Hi there - we're helping children with cerebral palsy today."
& feeling so imsencere, doug finally showed up, after what seemed an eternity, but astonishingly, turned out was just over 2 hours!
I actually had a bit of a lesson in generosity, as people were surprisingly generous. whether it was because i did such a good job, or
they were just of a charitable nature - I don't know, but despite all this, I managed to raise about $120.00. not bad for someone who only spent a couple of hours &
basically had no idea what he was doing. But when doug showed up around 2 pm & decided to close up shop,
I was so greatful. That was the HARDEST couple of hours work i have ever put in, in my life. I don't know if I could ever go through that again, even though I took home nearly $40.00
for my suffering. that's my first taste of volunteer work.
and to think, I always thought volunteers never got paid for what they did. i know so little about this world.
so, i get home & almost immediately jump into a semi-hot bath, when the other doug, douglas c has some visitors. I could hear them, through the paper thin walls, telling him
how he better watch out, because "Dimitri" was after him. Ultimately realizing, I was gonna have to meet these guys, as it was clear,
they were intent on settling in for the long term, I made my bold entrance & soon won their favor. well of course, the beer & dope soon started flowing & soon we had a full-blown party on our hands.
pretty tame really, but the fact there were so many substances around, made it evil.
so I fraternized with the constructicons & at least won their inebriated respect, no matter how temporary.
Still, it's good to know, that at least I didn't make any new enemies. & as a capper, I put on my famous drunk act for douglas c
& have just completed a dramatic "run to the bathroom" for effect. He seems to buy it
& my hope is for him to be so pissed at those guys for "making me fall off the wagon" that he'll tell larry & make sure they never come around again.
- ain't I a stinker?
Greg is a f*cking psycho-stalker. He ACTUALLY came here, again today at his regularly scheduled hour between 8 & 9 pm as he's been doing now for every 2 days for a month & actually made his way right to my room & opened the door TO MY ROOM to see if I was home. This has got to stop. I've never felt threatened in this way in my life, but now I've got this idiot that just WON'T TAKE A f*ckING HINT!!!
Any normal individual would have gotten the message & f*cked off by now, but when you come calling every 2nd day & intrude right into my room - I'm sorry, but you need help. This is getting to be a real pain in the ass, not only for myself, but the guys here are getting pretty sick of it & it's only a matter of time now, before my hand will be forced to congront Greg & tell him to just f*ck-off.
IN other news, it's now day 8 of my diet & excercise plan, & althoughI had ambitions to stop off at Nanaimo Illitreracy then go to the academy of learning, it didn't turn out that way. I had a "breakfast" of 1 bananna then walked to N.I. where I spent 3 hrs, thanx to their ridiculously slow bvandwidth & when I was done, it was just before noon. Well, I headed for the bus stop, with the intention of finding this place, but instead, I found myself walking back home, having a quick toss to the possibility thst Jo_ann(another person who doesn't know when to take a hint) was back in town & what fantastic sex we might have if we were to meet up. Keeping faith with my plan, I then biked to the vide store & invested $25.00 in 10, well (2) movies really plus 8 star trek episodes. It seemed like a worthwhile endevour.
Next I biked to the sally ann & frittered about. I amy be reading too much into it, but a grey, lonh haired employee there gave me a special greeting. She has an ok ass, but she must be at least 50. Still, if I thought there was an opening, I'd f*ck her.
So, I completed my excercise for the day & biked back home, with a token pair of headphones in hand & made a dinner of soup & veggi's & of course, as I said at the start, Greg made his intrusion around 8:30. f*ck! I just get steamed thinking about it. Why me? Why must all the losers in the universe gravitate towards me?? I mean, SERIOUSLY. What IS it about me?
DIET & EXCERCISE DAY # 8
I awoke early, as usual & after a bananna, decided to get an early start on my biking, so I rode down to the pub & back up Bruce for a good 20 min workout. I returned home, showered & after discovering I made an error in my bus schedule estimation, I made a rather hasty walk into town , where I attended the info session on this paid-for-education thing. I discovered a few more barriers to my plan - speaking of which, I am beginning to question that now. I mean really - all I'm looking for is a job I can attend & get rugular pay for. And if it comes down to it, it looks like I could almost immediately have a job at Price security, as it appears they're taking applications.
So, anyhoo -I then followed up that session, which I had another positive interaction with 2 native girls there, not to mention which, I would have loved to f*ck our instructor, Sandra. She had a body just BUILT for f*cking. And of course, she's already married. I estimate her to be in her mid-40's at least, but she looks like she works out.
Between meetings, I dropped in to see the "new girl" at the shop. She's anything BUT a "girl" she's about 85, she's personable sure, but I wouldn't f*ck her on a bet. She seemed nice enough & does indeed fit the tag of placeholder for Paul - she even said so her herself.
Next I proceeded on down to the waterfront, where I had a rather embarrasing situation develop. I thought I saw Frank driving a Swiftsure cab & when I did a doubletake, the driver, whom it turned out was NOT Frank - pulled over for me. When I had to admit to him that it wasd a case of mousetaken indemnity, he seemed disappointed & who could blame him? Of course now, it's little more than a trivial moment, but at the moment, I was going through it, it was mortifying to me. Here is a classic example of where the dope would have been helpful.
Next I went back to the office & met with Nigel Stentyford & continued my elimination round. I think I made it to the next round, as he assigned me a counsellor, which apparently you need to get on the gravytrain. Next I went to the care office & borowsed the net for a bit, before walking back home & taking in a tape of Star trek, got in another half hour of bike riding, before enjoying a supper of tomato soup, with noodles & vegi's. David was kind enough to make a salad, which I helped myself to later. I headed to bed early, around 8:30 & surprisingly - Greg didn't come knocking.
DIET & EXCERCISE DAY # 9
I awoke early again & after checking my Cakesian messages, biked for a good half hour, in the cold early morning. I tried Doug's gloves & he was right. They ARE a lifesaver. I'll definately have to pick up a pair for myself.
After a shower, I walked into town, my eyes keeping an ever constant vigil for any ho's. I'm convinced they've all moved onto Haliburton.
I printed my resume up at N.L.(Nanaimo Literacy), as well as did a token research into what coursed I may take, should my funding come through. I highly doubt that I'll qualify. At this stage, I'm preparing to go to Price Security, with the course being a pipe dream, but on the off-chance it does go through, I found the ideal course at The academy of learning. Only problem is tho, that apparently they (the academy) aren't a recognized institution as such, & if I was to take the course, I might not be able to do anything with my diploma. I seem to be losing focus here. Originally, my plan was just to take a course, any course just so I could remain on ui, however the idea of getting my A+ IS very appealing & it would open all kinds of doors for me. I really need to focus.
After N.L. I enjoyed a wonderful, but expensive lunch of chicken noodle soup at Lila's Deli. I never liked their prices, but the girls are nice.
After that, I headed up to the shop, where I hung out with paul for a bit, after which I went over to the CARE centre to fire off my resume & try to further help my case, by looking like I have been applying for all sorts of jobs, but having no luck.
Next, I walked back home & watched Star Trek again, for the 3'd time on the same tape. I really want to get bang for my buck with the movies I purchased AND I want them to last awhile, as it's gonna be a LONG winter without cable, but again - it's probably a good thing that I won't have such a distraction, as I really need to focust all my energy now on this project.
The weather was good, so I headed out for another little bike trip, during which I kinda broke down & bought another bag of chocolate alamnonds. I really needed them this time, I actually was DYING for them. Well,after another joyful outing, I returned home, put on Biloxi Blues again, convinced Douglas C wouldn't be back for the rest of the night, maybe more, I put on supper around 7, & of course, that's when they returned. f*ck, I'll be glad when those 2 leave, if - in fact they ever do. Oh sure, they're nice guys - but there's just something about them, that makes me a little uneasy around them.
Keeping my plan for my diet, I dined on a can of vegetable soup & veggis & found this surprisingly filling.
I had a real triumph of spirit today. What had originally started out as a phone call to the Academy Of Learning, to find out about their courses, turned out to be a visit, in which I actually took their entrance exam & passed with 80%!
What teh frack..................... it's longer than my sausages.

Is it an Everquest wedding?
It's hard to tell because it's a small pic, it's from the movie 'The Labrynth' and my signature below is also lyrics from one of David Bowie's song's from the movie The Labrynth in which he also led a starring role. :)
would you care to explain me, a little more in-depth detail about your avatar, tenkani? ;)
Labrynth freaked me out. David Bowie rocks, but his tights were just a bit too tight in that movie!

you will do great purelife I know it!
I know that I've been posting about my rowing ever since I knew I was going to join it, so apologies if anyone finds it "repeating." This is about the most EXCITING thing that is happening in my sport-life, right now. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif) And, I've NEVER been on the waters like this before.
watch out for jumping fish, do you get jumping fish in Vancouver? Over here when you get on the lake this asian crap which isnt suppose to be here anyway gets scared and jumps out of the water like a missile. lol
And its awesome when it rains and the wind picks up on the lake, the waves get higher then the boat and you feel like you are out in the sea or something.
Hmmm, not sure about the jumping fish. But, I'll let you know. I know that I'll enjoy the training in the rain. April-May...known for rainy days. :) I hope that I'm lucky to get thunder! That'll be awesome!
lol the instant the coaches or whomever sees thunder you get called back into dock.

I dont use all the things we have cause theres only so much of the water I can take.. I work on it now. lol.
So the canoe, laserII sailboat sit there alot. The skiboat we take out lots during the summer.
And yes, we do have jumping fish SD, but not the asian kind you are talking about. When Im out fishing I see a fair number of fish jumping in the early morning and at night around dinner time when the tide changes.. thats when fish eat.
When I mean "jumping" fish I mean "jumping" fish

Here you go.
Green tea can be harmful in large quantities
10:00 05 May 2007
From New Scientist Print Edition
Green tea is good for you, but only if drunk in moderation. While the polyphenols in green tea are credited with preventing heart disease and cancer, it seems they can cause liver and kidney damage if consumed in very large quantities, a review of studies into the toxicity of polyphenols has shown.
"People shouldn't be too alarmed by this, but those taking supplements may experience problems," says lead author Chung Yang of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.
He stresses that up to 10 small cups of green tea a day is fine. Problems are likely in people who take supplements, which can contain up to 50 times as much polyphenol as a single cup of tea.
Yang's review cites experiments in which rodents and dogs died from liver poisoning when given very large doses of polyphenols. He also reports cases of people with liver toxicity after overdosing on green-tea-based supplements. Their symptoms disappeared when they stopped taking the pills, only to return when they started taking them again (Chemical Research in Toxicology, vol 20, p 583).
Weird. That study doesn't really say anything negative about green tea. The study isn't complete or conclusive yet and the only concerns seemed to be with highly concentrated extracts in pill form. It also says that tea in regualr doses is beneficial to the liver.
I'd get a second opinion....lol

I've just bought two pairs of trousers.
to wear golfing? just in case you get a hole in one?
Haaaaaah!
This reminds me of a woman I used to work with, one day when she was over-worked to the 'nth degree, she complaineds "People seem to think I'm more than human, they don't realise that I've only got two pairs of hands."
She must have been a fine pianist.

Well, that just might be us tomorrow. Snow tonight!
A bar of dark chocolate with almonds and cranberries is on the table in front of me.
Groan!! Would you move your desk a little closer, please?
Share? With me? Just a piece?
Please?
Too late, it's suddenly gone.
Fine. I'm just not gonna share my avocado with you.
It too, is suddenly .... gone! LOL
Strange how they disappear when they feel threatened.
OK....here's one of those picky food habits I was referring to earlier. I like fruit...and I like dark chocolate....yet I don't like chocolate with fruit in it.
Nuts?
Awww....you shouldn't be calling her names. She is a nice lady.
I know she is, I was just enquiring if she liked her chocolate with nuts even tho' she doesn't like it with fruit.
Yes.....nuts and chocolate....very good. Especially brazil nuts or macadamias or pecans.......
I like fruit in the bar, and especially cranberries.
That reminds me to treat myself to a bag of cranberries tomorrow.
I brought a HUGE bag of chocolate eggs and laid some around my co-worker's desks today. :)
Everytime I see the word co-worker I think of people on a farm.

Will I be receiving an invitation to the feast? How about melting some dark chocolate and stirring in the cranberries? Put some whipped cream on top and have a wonderful treat.

Don't waste your time on weather sites or weather channels.
Here is my fail-proof, always accurate method for weather forecasting.
Stick your head out the window....if it gets wet....take an umbrella.
If it gets white....wear a touque.
If your hair gets messy.....wear a touque.
If it's hot....take your touque off.
It really works.

No. Bison are stupid.
Bison are beautiful. They're just dumb.....and they know nothing about the weather. As a matter of fact, they'd make great meteorologists.

pl- it's probably fine. Depending on how I've stored wine, the cork is sometimes wet or goopy. If the wine tastes, ok- drink it.

Where was this Ruffage place located? In the food court?
I just checked the website and it looks like it's still available. Coquitlam Centre does look different now.

SD - I'm surprised that you didn't copy Wiki's blurb about H&M's history.
why?
Because Wiki had a blurb on H&M and you seem to be into Wiki.
I'm into books. Not wiki. Only thing I use wikipedia for is reading about election results of countries from the begining of 20th century to present.
I've known H&M is from Sweden for years.
Are there other H&M's over there purelife ...or is this the first ?
I think there is one in Lougheed Centre. 3 locations in total that I know of but am not too sure about the others.
Lately, I've been buying most of my tops from Superstore's Joe Fresh clothing collection. There are lots of simple home/lounge stuff that I much prefer. :)

I've been trying to find a long lost friend but I can't seem to find her. I miss her... (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/9.gif) I hope that one day, I can bump into her.
Just found out that another lady in my dept is preggers. She's a Supervisor and she already told the Manager. She's a month behind me. How interesting....
I had lunch with my friend today and she surprised me with a beautiful boquet of flowers for thanking me when I helped her move. :) It's soooo pretty....
bwhahaha I can fly a malpractice suit against a doctor.
Sweet, here come the millions.

awwwwwww....PC..sorry to hear.... :( Will you be giving them a special gift so that they remember you and hubby?
ADD: hopefully they're not moving too far?
Far enough to make it unlikely that we will see them more than once every couple years.
Perhaps I could sabotage any potential buyers for their home ? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/7.gif)

Yup. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/traurig/a005.gif" border=0]
off the island to Vancouver far or they're retiring and bought a bungalo in Cabo San Lucas far?
Aw. Sad to have friends or neighbours move away.
My legs are killing me.
I'm tired of hearing, reading, watching this so called growing problem in this bizzare stupid country about the "white working class" and "white women".
This racial crap is annoying. I'm tired of it. It's like the KKK has taken over the media. Pitty the white working class who can't vote for a black guy. *sigh*
Madness.
Couldn't you just not watch it when you see it on tele? Change the channel? And if you're reading an article, couldn't you skip that section?
this is a foreign concept. lol
I read the paper every morning. Only way to get around this stupid talk is reading the foreign papers which I have been mainly the Guardian. Canadian papers are just as bad.
The next few weeks I've got a distraction in the EURO Football (Soccer) Championships.
July Tour de France rolls around
But you can't avoid this, it is everywhere. Commercials on tv, radio, internet, billboards on the highway, bumper sticker nation, yard signs, it's all people talk about unless you follow the Cardinals religiously and I don't.
Only way to avoid all of this is to find a cave somewhere. lol

I don't think you get it they're saying Obama needs to appease stupid white people in order for a person of colour to get their vote and respect. Obama and his 'white problem'.

This shit never ends.
Fox News Channel referred to Michelle Obama as "Obama's baby mama" in a graphic on Wednesday, the latest in a trio of references to the Democratic presidential campaign that have given fuel to network critics. The graphic "Outraged liberals: Stop picking on Obama's baby mama" was flashed during an interview with conservative columnist Michelle Malkin about whether Barack Obama's wife has been the target of unfair criticism. [/p] In the past two weeks, Fox anchor E.D. Hill has apologized for referring to an affectionate onstage fist bump shared by the couple as a "terrorist fist jab," and Fox contributor Liz Trotta said she was sorry for joking about an Obama assassination.
[/p]
"Obama's baby mama" was never said on the air. Malkin said during her interview that she had seen no gratuitous or cheap shots taken against Michelle Obama by Republican or conservative critics. [/p] Joan Walsh, a columnist from Salon.com, criticized the graphic on Thursday as a slur. [/p] "Do you try to explain that 'baby mama' is slang for the unmarried mother of a man's child, and not his wife, or even a girlfriend?" Walsh wrote. "Are they racist, or just clueless? Isn't there racism even in their cluelessness, if somebody didn't know what 'baby mama' means, but used it anyway? Even at Fox, won't somebody have to apologize?"
[/p] Hill's "terrorist fist jab" comment came in a tease to a segment on the candidates' body language, and it wasn't repeated during the subsequent interview. She told Fox it was taken from something she had read online. [/p] No matter: "terrorist fist jab" quickly became an online sensation. [/p] Hill apologized on-air four days after she said it. Hill said some people "thought I had personally characterized it inappropriately. I regret that. It was not my intention and I certainly did not mean to associate the word 'terrorist' in any way with Sen. Obama and his wife." [/p] Fox subsequently cancelled Hill's weekday afternoon program as part of a larger reorganization. She remains on staff. [/p] Trotta's assassination joke came May 25 as she commented about how some considered it distasteful for Clinton to refer to Robert F. Kennedy's assassination when explaining why she was staying in the presidential race. [/p] "Now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama," she said, quickly correcting herself. "Obama. Well, both if we could."
[/p]

Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse,
When you're chewing life's gristle,
Don't grumble,
Give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.

OK.....breathe. Breathe.....and think.
Oh you call that perfume instead of cologne? That's so European of you. ;)
Calling it perfume or cologne is not a cultural thing. They are two completely different things....in Canada and the US as well.
Oh de toilet ((http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif) ) is cologne. Water based. Perfume is a concentrated 'oil' based.
I know Eau is water.....I was being a doofus. I was trying to point out that it's not a cultural thing to call it one way or the other....they are called different names because they are different things.
My European friend who is the Russian version of me basically, said "no no It's not cologne it's perfume." I responded saying "well where I grew up nobody calls it perfume, it's cologne." He wouldn't believe until I showed him at a local mall here in St. Louis.
cologne- men's perfume
perfume - women
Simple. Your Russian friend is misinformed...and so are you.
I would find it hard to believe that you could not get any of these fragrances in Missouri. I'll send you my $100 dividend if this is true.

I'm not talking about a type of perfume. I'm talking about names. Its like a women's and men's restroom.
doesn't matter what type or brand
When you say perfume the attendant will take you to women's fragrances.
Cologne is a code word for the men's section doesn't matter what type.
Lately though they want everyone to say fragrance. PC I guess.
I'm not talking about a type of perfume either. You DO have women's cologne in Missouri.....check it out. Go to Sears and ask to see some women's cologne. They have it.
I know they do. We call that perfume, what I'm talking about has nothing to do with types. Just a blanket term to separate the style for both.
Because 'WE' call it perfume, doesn't make it perfume.

[p class="textBodyBlack"][span id="byLine"][/span]"I think Obama would be a disaster, and there's a lot of reasons," said Pollard, explaining the rumors he had heard about the candidate from friends he goes camping with. "I understand he's from Africa, and that the first thing he's going to do if he gets into office is bring his family over here, illegally. He's got that racist [pastor] who practically raised him, and then there's the Muslim thing. He's just not presidential material, if you ask me."
[/p][p class="textBodyBlack"][span id="byLine"][/span]But on a recent visit to his son's auto shop, Peterman overheard misinformed customers talking again about a Muslim in the White House.

[/p] [p class="textBodyBlack"][span id="byLine"][/span]The truth squad
So far, those who have pushed the truth in Findlay have been rewarded with little that resembles progress. Gerri Kish, a 66-year-old born in Hawaii, read both of Obama's autobiographies. She has close friends, she said, who still refuse to believe her when she swears Obama is Christian. Then she hands them the books, and they refuse to read them. "They just want believe what they believe," she said. "Nothing gets through to them." [/p] [p class="textBodyBlack"][span id="byLine"][/span]The new advertisement running in Findlay, in which Obama is pictured with his white mother and white grandparents as talks about developing a "deep and abiding faith in the country I love" while growing up in the Kansas heartland, is dismissed by residents of College Street as the desperate lies of another dishonest Washington politician. And they say that Obama's moves to put distance between himself and the Muslim community, with his campaign declining invitations to visit mosques and Obama volunteers removing two women in head scarves from the camera range at a rally in Detroit last week are just a too-late effort to disguise his true beliefs. [/p] [p class="textBodyBlack"][span id="byLine"][/span]For the past month, two students from the University of Findlay have spent their Tuesdays nights walking from door to door in the city to tell voters about Obama. Erik Cramer and Sarah Everly target Democrats and swing voters exclusively, but they've still experienced mixed results. Sometimes, at a front door, they mention their purpose only to have a dozen rumors thrown back at them and the door slammed "People tell us that we're in the wrong town," Everly said.

I have just had my first experience of lawn bowling.
And will it become a new Goph retirement hobby?
Quite possibly, but as yet I'm not sure - it was far more difficult that I imagined, however as I won I have arranged another 'go' for next week. My intention though is to try at least one new thing every couple of weeks and then select whichever I decide Iike the most.
Sweet Lawn Bowling Batman!

Its 4th of July and I just realized something while looking at the weather map on the Weather Channel.
I'm two train trips home (going two different ways) away from seeing all of the 48 minus Main, Vermont and New Hampshire. I'll see the last 3 whenever I head over to Montreal in the near future. Alaska should be easy, I'll just take the ferry to Prince Rupert then another ferry to Ketchikan a place I've always wanted to visit. Then Hawaii. Unless you count Puerto Rico.
Canada I want to do in a train ride get a pass from VIA where I can get off where ever I want and then get back on.

I've been at the pool.
Cool!
I could do with a couple of litres of Lil Me's cleansing tea.
Lots of detox and laxative teas in the health food store, Goph.
Drink the tea at night and stay home in the morning.
I'm eating a ton of dried dates at the moment.
That should work. Have lots of liquid with it, too.
Two beers coming up shortly
That sounds like a good plan. Maybe add some water and follow it with a cup of coffee later on.
Fortify yourself with the mate de coca, and you'll be fine...
Well I'm watching the fireworks.
Next year I'll be in person, this year, katkam. lol
Yeah lots of people on Burrard Bridge this year. They've set up motorist trucks and cordoned off the nearest lane to the sidewalk.
ahh. Well there's always KatKam.
yeah. Who's there? Can't remember who said was going.
Ah. Yeah, I might bike to this next year, if I've got nothing better to do. lol
Yeah shouldn't be too hard. Beats a car.
Yeah, plus its harder with no skytrain from west end...
I do want to bike to Stanley Park then bike around and back. I know that will take all day.
I bet you can see this from Jericho.
You could probably see the fireworks from the UBC pointe, SD. Museum of Anthropology facing North-ish.
Ah I see. Well which ever is closest. The bike route ends in Jericho, doesn't go into Gordon Campbell's neighbourhood then starts again outside his neighbourhood. lol
That's why I thought of Jericho.

It's hard to go downtown here even when there's no fireworks. big waste of time and money (parking expensive).
Totally agree.

Woah, late work schedule you've got, Michel.
I could do with a beer (or two).

Do you get off the plane in Edmonton?
Hey, I was gonna ask that question too!
DUH. I just realized why my bikini waxing project was going badly.
The hair isn't long enough to adhere to the wax. Needs to be 1/4". That's why I kept ripping off layers of skin, but no hair. DUH.

Well we're already figuring out how I should get home for Christmas, its too expensive to fly both ways so its train then fly. Or train and drive with a childhood friend in Minneapolis to St. Louis then fly. lol Getting excited. hahaha for Christmas.
Bus?
Bus is super expensive and pointless.
Well a bus is the most expensive option. The cheapest is the train, but I can't take the train back.

I've never used Firefox, is there an advantage over IE or is it more of an anti-microsoft thing?
Hmmm. Maybe I'll play with it today (on the company laptop) Is the e mail an integrated part of it? Can you import existing bookmarked pages for IE? How about contacts from outlook express?

[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]Yep, you can certainly import all of that information. I've done it before but I can't remember what I did though... sorry. :(
Hi PL, thanks for the info.
About your dilated exam, it's no biggie to go through. It allows the Optometrist to get a much better look at the structures at the back of the eye. Think of the view as looking through a porthole(undilated pupil) or a picture window (dilated pupil)
With a correction like yours, it is very important to ensure the retina & lattice are in good shape.
Found one ex-bf on FB. Haven't seen him for 15 years. Have to say, I'm slightly embarassed about contacting him, because my life was a veritable train wreck back then.
hahaha. If people from my past find me I get the "keep in touch" pm which means "I found you, I don't like what you've become" because they will talk to other people in my past and just ignore me. Then eventually they delete me. Can't trust anyone.
Maybe they can't trust you?
Hmm I don't think that's the case. I go to the ends of the Earth for people, I'm too nice to people and they end up running me over. Take simple things like emails. If someone emails me, I will email them back. I don't ignore people. Most of these people are into themselves too much to notice or they hold long standing grudges or always want to look down on me.
This is a long shot, but......do ya talk politics ?
Nope. I've said before, I'm not political in person. Only on my facebook page, and in writing is when I become 'political'. In person I come off as a centrist, but I hate talking about politics unless I'm with my dad. I like the journalistic aspect of politics. I don't go up to people and say not this is how I see the world, this is how it needs to be etc that would be an activist, which I am not, I find activism boring and a waste of time in this climate. I never got along with the Nanaimo political crowd because of that. All they could talk about to me is "Hey Yankee Boy go home" or "You know SD, America and its evil empire of Imperialism full of war criminals who kill" etc. I'd go to political meetings and want to talk about gardening with the greenies. lol
Sad. I had the feeling that you enjoyed campus life and getting involved in causes and writing for the newspaper.
I do, just I haven't found the right people to be around who don't judge me by my nationality. Only the Internationals seem to be accepting of who I was in Nanaimo. Everybody else was all suspecious it was so annoying. I won't be the only American on campus anymore thank god at UBC lol Americans actually hold leadership positions in clubs and stuff. So the anti-americanism doesn't seem to be as prevalent (outside of the goof balls at the SDS group). There's two people I keep in contact in Nanaimo, they both wished the same thing for me at UBC, that I could find more people like me and not what I experienced in Nanaimo. I'm still going to do stuff with the newspaper or radio. Its what I like to do.
SD wrote: Nope. I've said before, I'm not political in person. Only on my facebook page, and in writing is when I become 'political'.
Sorry. I thought we were talking about people finding you on facebook.
Well it goes hand in hand. Everybody talks to everyone on facebook. Nobody posts on my Wall I have to post on theirs and I most likely won't get a reply back. As my roommate says "If you have to call them in order to do something and they don't ever call you, then they're not your friends." If you go by the 'calling me, texting me, leaving something on facebook, msn etc' I've got 2 friends, both of whom were my roommates. *shrugs*

wtf is that seriously. 6pm
laughable.
Then again downtown nanaimo except for the pubs closes down at 5:30pm.
The Dead Zone.
That Walmart sucks anyway as do most.
Oh forgot to mention. I was invited to the private opening of the Obama headquarters in my part of town, apparently I said "hey you need an office in my part of town" when they weren't planning on one. Anyway I got a call from the head person of the area saying I was invited (its a private event). Would of gone, got a German Final that night. lol I said I'd come by the day after. They'll probably get me working in the office.
Took the cue from my buddy in Minneapolis, he told me to work out. lol
Need the exercise or I never accomplish anything.
I think so. I go there about twice a year.

[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]They're ok. But they're not my type of stores..not into the clothing and shoe stores they have there. Whenever we go, MrPL hits Walmart, Best Buy and EB Games. I just follow.
Have you checked out the Marine and Byrne area, Michel? There's a HUGE Homesense, Winners, Michel's, The Shoe Company and across the street there's Canadian Tire, PriceSmart, London Drugs, Kin's, Marble Slab (yummy icecream!) and other stores...
Oh, and for fresh (and cheap) veggies and fruits, there's Langley Farm Markets on Kingsway (can't remember the cross street). Drive east from Metrotown.
We live in the same area. Hey - we might bump into each other!
You'll like it there. HUGE! Just drive along 10th Avenue.
There's a Sears Outlet store by Lougheed Mall that is pretty good. I have found some good deals there.
ADD: Have you ever been to JYSK, Michel? They have some good home stuff for cheap.
I suggest that Michel go back to Queensborough next weekend. He can go shoe shopping! Then he can post pictures of his new shoes and make Goph jealous.

I do not know, I think we'll have to consult Sheriff Michel on that one, see if it warrants a thorough investigation.
We have our annual tenant party and it's happening next week. I can't wait! Lots and lots of good food, eye candy and amazing prizes. I hope I win something.
Cool!
Is that like a block party?
Kinda like that. It's for everyone in our building. I notice many downtown buildings have this kind of party... a Tenant Appreciation party. Ours would be more private because it's on the patio but others have it outside.
They have caricatures and music....
Oh very cool. Sounds like a block party to me, which is great. My cousin lived in an apartment complex, didn't know her neighbours, so it's good that everybody gets together as you are a community.
So then they're like Oregon?
Yeah and there's the abundance of Vancouver's and using the word 'west'. My parents think I'll live in West Vancouver because its in the Western part of Vancouver.
Or streets that stop and then start somewhere else, like all the streets that run into PNE and then start up again past the PNE and highway, but aren't connected.
Usually when streets end, they end. lol
Imagine your first day at the job as a pizza delivery person and you had to deliver on one of those streets. Talk about confusing.
My pupil dilation experience wasn't that bad... it didn't smell and my eyes didn't bulge... but the light hurt!
I can find my way around Vancouver with one eyeball tied behind my back.....but whenever I get into those other areas.....Langley, Ladner, Surrey....etc. I WILL get lost every time.....no matter how many times I go there.
lol. P.C. is it because the streets curve like a web? (sprawl)
Good to here purelife, that it went well.
I get confused driving around Poco/Coquitlam highways all the time. It took me a while figuring out how to get to Coq. Centre instead of heading over the Port Mann. I also get even more confused when a Highway becomes something else and then reconnects somewhere else. ie. Lougheed Highway!
No...it's because it's all numbers.....no names. I can find streets with names.....Broadway and Main (names....not area....lol)......but not with 132nd Ave and 164th Street.....(or whatever the case may be). Names will stick with me....numbers, not so much.
Me too, PC. I can't remember the avenues and streets....120th street and 18th avenue. It takes me a while to figure out that the avenues are east/west and the streets are north/south... New West is confusing for me...
Oh of course they do! lol We are visual people.
You can put an image on names and not numbers. Car manufacturers are the best example. Imagine if the Mustang was called the 325m or something. lol
B-52 isn't that a band? lol hehe
Just saying, people can put places to names of familiarity, Madison Ave, Bay Street, Champs-Élysées, Red Square, Downing Street, Pennsylvania Ave., Wall Street, Abbey Road, Bourbon Street, Fleet Street, Piccadilly Circus etc.
Although the only bucking the trend I can think of street wise is 42nd Street and 5th Ave. I can't think of any other numbered famous streets.
lol The idea of Broadway being 253st is hilarious.

My job is so small town

Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town

I've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town
Now she's small town just like me
No, I cannot forget where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me

Got nothing against a big town

lol. Thanks for the moral support!
You have a lovely voice.
lol It's a cultural thing, like I said in the pictures thread it started with the civil war. It used to be funny mock people who said Mizzer-ah and they'd mock us for saying Missor-ee. Then the politics get involved when you reach a certain age, and now the media talks about the two Missouri's and you become aware of each other and why you are different.
Its annoying and then the Missouri Republican party refuses to call the state Missor-ee and that when politicians come here to St. Louis and KC they say it to our faces Mizzer-ah (aka haha in your face and no we don't care about you, money will go to the boonies, but vote for us). It would be the equivalent of somebody going to the PQ convention and saying 'Canada forever, Quebec blows'.
Same goes for people who say Illinoise instead of Illin-oye. Illinoisians see this as a cut down and ignorance. One thing to know about Midwesterners, they don't like southern influences who 'muck it up'. It's a pure-laine attitude and it shows in how Midwesterners are brought up over southerners. So when you have a state that has 2 strong influences, you'll get your battles. It's a dog eat dog world. East coast west coast make fun and mock the Midwest, midwesterners mock southerners, southerners mock east coast west coast.

It's pouring again. Strange summer continues. Its not suppose to rain this much.
They're to substitute lighthouses when fog makes them redundant. I kind of like their sound....yet I'm not too crazy about fog.
Really? Every time it fogged up and fog horns were sounding I got goose bumps thinking of those maritime towns I read in children's book as a child. Then again, I never grew up around ports, so all that stuff fascinates me.

Watching the olympics.
Hiya Sporstdude! Nice to see ya again.
I'm boycotting the Olympics.
Nice to see you too!
Ah, cool.
I can't help it, with me watching the olympics is like the equivalent of moths flying into a light.
HA!
So what's new around here? Any big news????
Hmm
TB got married
I got into UBC
Russ is off at sea
Lil Me got some new shiny fur
BC Ferries raised their rates
Lise is living in a real life version of the movie The Office Space lol
Gopher retired and now wanders the country side, free as a flying gopher can.
not much.
Wow. I would say a lot has happened.
Very cool to hear that you got into UBC. Are you excited to be here?
It's been over a year since I was on here but I have no big reason as to why. Strange.
Nervous or cautious optimism, trying not to get ahead of myself. I have a lot of work ahead of me plus more stress. woot! So exciting.
You'll be just fine. You're a smart guy. What are you stressing about?
Ah, it's more stage fright. It's a bit stressful to go through the whole international orientation process again this year. It's like I'm starting over again, but the newness and exciting factor is still the same. Just instead of a ferry ride its a translink shuttle. lol
I listen too much about how tough it is or perceived to be by people. A big school sounds exciting though.
Well, I'm rooting for ya buddy. And always remember. Never make eye contact with anyone on the bus, it will save your life. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/11.gif)
hahaha. okay, I will stare at the floor and if a friend asks why I am staring at the floor, I will respond "I am saving my life". lol
Good boy! You'll do just fine here!
haha thanks Chicklet!

I don't understand how males can become an OBGYN. *shivers* I have to see one in a few weeks and am not looking forward to it. And I have no choice because he was a referral.
So "they can practise their love."- Bush quote
I've never had a female doc.
If you're going to a male OBGYN for plumbing issues.....they know it as well as any. If you're looking for someone to understand the science of hormones.....they can know it as well as any. If you're after someone who has a first hand knowledge of what you experience as a result of the effects of hormones....they can't get it......but they are equally as capable of being understanding and/or compassionate (or not) as well as any.
I hope you're right about this OBGYN. It's different for me to hear that a guy is an OBGYN because I was raised to think it's a women's profession. I know...times have changed.
I have a male doctor and surprisingly am comfortable with him, which is good.
I've had a female physician before. no biggie.

[/DIV] I think on the contrary, the ratio of male to female doctors has always been greater on the male side. Only within the last couple decades are female docs on the upswing. (I don't know this as a fact...just my experience)
I've seen quite a few obgyn's and they were all female and they were great. I just hope he's good too.
When I was in Sry Memorial, I was surprised to know that a male doctor needed a prescense of a nurse during his internal examination on me. It was funny when he announced what he was doing and that he was wearing gloves.
Sounds like protocol.

Yes....that's true purelife.....but 20 years ago, there were far less female obgyn's than males.
(You thought it was odd that he was wearing gloves ? I would thing it extremely odd if he weren't......so much so, that I'm sure I would leave.)
those areas demand gloves, not require. lol
Oh no... he has to be wearing gloves. I would be running away.
I thought it was odd that he was announcing that he was wearing gloves. He's supposed to wear gloves and to hear him tell me was funny in a way. I guess I've never heard a doctor telling me that. I have heard of incidences of doctors not wearing gloves, so perhaps it was just to reassure me...but I check!

What are you shining your new shoes with, Michel?
I just thought about vacations and realized that I have never in my entire life taken more than 3 days off in a row from work. I think one of the reasons is that I don't have a backup and I would really hate to come back to 2 weeks of work.

It is manditory. I do use up all my vacations but take a day or two here and there and never 3 days more at once. One day, I'm going to take 2 weeks in a row.
You get 4 weeks? You lucky ducky...we only get 3.
Have you ever tried this mink shine? And do you also spray the leather with a protector? I wonder if it works?
You're very knowledgeable. That is good information. I don't put as much care into my leather shoes/bags and probably need to give it some attention.
Brush with a soft brush and rub at the end with pantyhose,
I didn't know about this step... I do the first step of using a soft cloth with the polish but don't do this extra one. Thanks for the tip!
Uh, what end do you rub the pantyhose with?
Everyone should have 5-6 weeks off.
hopefully it's not a fishnet pantyhose.
I am wearing tan-cloured shoes.
There's a demolition near by where they are blowing up concrete (AWESOME, I know!) and it's really shaking it up where I'm sitting. It feels like an earthquake.

Yep....that's what I heard anyways.
Ritz Carleton.
I thought the Ritz was further down the street. Funny how some buildings are going up really quick (CBC, Olympic village) and others are taking forever. lol
Further down the street from Robson but across the street from Shangrila
ah. okay. I always remember the signs for the building being closer to Stanley Park.
Rough day on the highway to work 4 deer gone and evidence of 2 more. I was wishing I had a camera with me as there was a big eagle on one on the shoulder having himself a good feed, and not at all disturbed by the traffic.

No, it wasn't a herd, it was over a 50km stretch. There is usually 1 or 2 every morning. It's not the road conditions that bother me, it's the wildlife that come on the road when you're doing 120km/hr. Saddest thing I see is a bear that has been hit, it's us that are in their territory.

I think Sawdust may have missed that I posted about the second incident. It was the morning Michel. Quite early.
Isn't that when they feed? Speaking of deer the 20 or so and the 4 herds I saw last night, bambi came out of nowhere and thought about jumping out in front of me. For some reason it did a half jump, then froze. lol
I wonder what his curiosity is.
How big were the dogs?
Maybe the cat stalked them?
Bears aren't bunnies or the feral donkeys at Custer Park.
No they're not SD. But we should never forget that it is us who are encroaching on thier territory and we have a responsibility to make sure our lifestyles don't draw them into our neighborhoods.
So try to scare that cougar as much as you can.
What if he scares me first. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a093.gif" border=0] I think I might not be able to speak. [/DIV]
Very true Sawdust. A good start would be to demand responsible new neighbourhoods, stop tearing down the forests for sprawl homes. Ya know we complain to the Brazilians to stop deforestation, yet we don't seem to mind that we tear down forests for homes in our neck of the woods.
Growth IS going to happen, we can't change that ( short of a mass sterilization program) But we can work on how we deal with our garbage and other items that attract them to us.
I'm not denying growth is going to happen, it's the sprawling neighbourhoods that I don't like and nobody should. Smart growth, why does every new neighbourhood have to be sprawled out? Why can't we go back to pre World War II design of our neighbourhoods where instead of it being about a house, it was about building a community.
One of the best quotes I've ever read about house building/community was in this new urbanism book. I don't have the quote off hand, but it was something like 'we build the greatest homes in the world, so exceptionally well that we never have to leave the home, we have everything. The problem is we now build these mansions in the middle of nowhere and since we never leave our home, we don't know our neighbours or community.'
Good for you, Michel!
(next time ask the cat. She probably knows where everything is)
Just finished watching my favourite french movie's sequel.

It's neat to watch history being made. After last night's nail biter finish, it was very cool to see Phelps win #8 tonight.
Indeed. Only to see a goof ball win the 100m, break the world record, but stopped running 20m's before the finish showboating.
Let's try to stay positive SD, Phelps and his teamates were great and Bolt did set a world record.
Yeah but he told everybody on NBC he didn't care about the World Record and didn't really care he show boated the last 20m's.
I just thought it was a let down from the Phelp's story.
It isn't HOW you break the record......it's THAT you break the record.
Well I'm from the midwest, we frown upon people who hot dog and gloat.
Run the entire 100m's please or get off the track.
In Missouri you aren't allowed to hot dog it or show boat, if you do, you get disqualified or penalized. Best example is football. If you start high stepping or celebrating on your way to a touchdown. Your score doesn't count, and the ball is placed on the spot you started to show off. If you do it twice you will get ejected. There's no place for it.
Well maybe you all should stop frowning so much.

Exactly. And until then, the processed meat products will sit in the fridge "for emergencies". You never know when a disaster might strike.

Weirdness abounds here today.
1) Long-lost friend found me on Facebook. Haven't seen or heard from him for over 10 years. Didn't even know which country he was in. We had a really weird friendship for many years. We laughed, hung out, talked about everything and did life together. I had an inkling that he had a crush on me...but chose to ignore it. He wrote me a letter once just before he left high school, telling me that he was madly in love with me, etc. Ulp. I chose to ignore the letter and we never discussed it. But we continued to correspond until we lost touch 10 years ago. He's a dear, dear friend...just a weird situation. And I've never been interested in him, or will I ever be.
2) My azzhat neighbour (the good looking one who smells good...) just phoned me to tell me he had the day off. (wtf? does he think I'm about to run over and jump into bed with him, just because he's off work? sheesh...) As good looking and good smelling as he is, I'm not INTERESTED in him. Yikes.

It can be. Depends what your field of study is.
What if you're a jet propulsion engineer? With a PhD? $55k is a low starting wage.
well this person works for EA, computer science programmer people. All my friends are quickly becoming engineers and computer programmers, who would of thunk it.
Well I for one think the root of a mess of problems, is the attitude that a STARTING job at $55 grand is a low paying job. Everybody wants to start at the top. Although as Lil Me said.....for some fields, I guess it would be.
Education, training, degrees etc. are only the groundwork for a high paying jobs. Experience and work ethics, are what should allow a person to move up the salary ladder. I've worked with people with degrees coming out their ying yang that haven't got an ounce of common sense or the ability to think outside their realm, and have a healthy dose of some sense of entitlement. I've also worked with high school drop outs, that are eager, quick learners with great attitudes, that are willing to work their buns off.

But that's ok. It was the old Nalgene cancer bottle. I wanted to upgrade to "safe" canteen, but I was too cheap to throw out the Nalgene that I had been using for years.
Are you taking your zoom out for a spin ? Where are you off to this weekend Michel ?
Have a good weekend Michel (+ everyone else!)
Going away?
Lots of cheap last-minute deals to New Orleans this weekend. lol
Yeah Gustav is a cat. 4 already and Hanna isn't too far behind.
1,2 punch during gop convention week. Bush to speak the same day Gustav slams Louisiana.
If those poor people get slammed again, I would expect to see atheism on the rise.
It'd be the opposite, they'd say it was God's work for punishing satanic New Orleans or something.
Just picked up my glasses.
well it was here saturday or today. I was too busy to check for them.
Maybe SD can see the ursus invisiblus with his new magic glasses.
I am finally ready to get my bags packed. Nothing like leaving things to the last minute. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/haushalt/f046.gif" border=0]
Oh really Michel ? Yipes. That happens to be on our destination path. When exactly was this ?
No plane. [img onclick="selecte('stern.gif');" alt=emoticon src="http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/blehnet/stern.gif" border=0]
Oh dear.
That's why I'm curious, because we just checked for highway reports and conditions, and there is no mention of it today. Our goal isn't to get to Banff fast....there are several places along the route that we would like to see. Yipes yipes yipes !
Rats. It would be helpful to know before we leave. I can't find anything about it.
Thanks for the warning anyway Michel. It's something we hadn't really factored into our travel plans....but definitely could be an issue. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Shocked/1.gif)

Have fun P.C.! :)))

Okay I've been alien abducted because ever since I arrived in Vancouver, I've become a neat freak. lol

Don't worry about the cat (or the cat sitter). They will be FINE.
Just leave...quickly...before the cat jumps in the car with you.
Remember how Garfield and Odie used to sneak into the suitcases and go on holidays with Jon? Then Jon just started bringing them along...
SO looking forward to this.
Our victims....I mean, neighbours have just left. They have both cats and dogs, and are not the slightest bit concerned about a hiss or a spit. My last neighbour who looked after our cat, hasn't stopped telling everyone that she 'has never been so frightened in her life'. I was surprised that these people even offered, after hearing her story.
I think it will be fine too Lil Me. He has his 'continuous feed dish', which holds 3 weeks of food. I just need someone to check that the raccoons haven't drained it on our second night away.....as they've been out in full force the last couple weeks. It'll be good.....right ?

What in the world happen to Hudson Mack? Is he okay? He's lost a ton of weight since last time I saw him on tv in May. it's weird.
Took the car for a drive-thru car wash. Forgot to check that ALL windows were rolled up.... Here I was thinking there was a leak in my car cuz it was soaking... I reached behind me to roll up the window but instead rolled it down some more. finally got it rolled up but it was kinda too late... soaked and soapy! D'OH!!!!
LOL
We must recruit these teenagers for a car wash. We'd make a killing!
hahaha. Its going to be nice this weekend so sounds like a plan.
I was at HMV during lunch and didn't hear one peep from these teens. You must've kept them real quiet, there Michel....
I'm jealous that the downtown workers get all the free snack samples on Robson St.
Unfair!
All of us suburbanites are heavier and we buy and eat more food. We should get the samples!!!
lol
I heard church bells one morning when I was staying at the Victorian.
Old churches and church bells playing every hour are cool to look at and hear.
You also have hawt gay men to look at downtown. Running on the seawall.
I think I saw a downtown church if you walk further south on Burrard....?
----------------------------
I went for a $10 haircut/trim and it turned out good. I'm impressed. Well, $12 with tax and tip.
what the architecture is nice and the bells humanize the area.
So you can check out the girls and be in a humanized environment at the same time! social problems solved!!! lol
Oh yea, and there's one right by the Shangri-La. The Coastal Church...I think. The Developers were gonna knock it down but it's a heritage church.
lol They'd be a sweet music venue, the acoustics. Then oh oh when you have a concert you can ring the bells. Be perfect for ACDC Hell's Bells.
Nah Starbucks grew too fast. They're downsizing now, they've peaked in growth. McDonalds makes better cheaper coffee. That was Starbuck's downfall. The golden arches of grease.

cool!
Again...downtown people have it all. No classic church bells out in the sticks!

"Troubled Britney Spears began boozing aged 13, lost her virginity at 14, then started taking drugs at 15, according to a shocking tell-all book by her mum. Wild child Britney allegedly first hit the bottle after joining Disney's squeaky-clean Mickey Mouse Club...Lynne claims 14-year-old Britney then had sex with an 18-year-old high school footballer soon after she quit the TV show. And she had her first taste of drugs at 15 when she went to Los Angeles to record her debut album Baby One More Time. As Britney later pursued her pop career, Lynne let her 16-year-old daughter sleep with teen sweetheart Justin Timberlake, despite claiming she was a virgin. A source said: "Lynne thought Britney was in love and Justin was good for her." Lynne's book reportedly tells of her horror when Britney, still just 16, was caught with cocaine and cannabis on a private jet."

I watched Happy Feet the other day (another awesome movie) and learned some interesting facts about penguins.
The female would sing in hopes to find the mate who would syncronize with her singing. So, he would have to sing and she would sing and the compatibility is from how they sing together. too sweet.... :)
I've been wanting to see that movie. I need to see something the pseudos haven't seen, so I can name drop it and then make them feel stupid, so they can go back to their acid and mope about being upstaged by the newbie. Although I could talk about Bergman films... hmmm

I have completely forgotten that tomorrow is 9/11. hmm
Hmm the coupe was on the 11th, didn't know that.
I don't pay attention to this day anyway, I've avoided it for 6 years because it has turned into a rallying cry for war day by the political operatives in my region. Then if you say anything of actual sanity, you get lambasted with you are either with us or against us spew.
Hmm makes sense, but I think you've got to consider the fractioning of the left with the economic downturn in the 70s which made society more open to the ideas of Thatcher and the beginnings of a globalized economy. Where she and Reagan went 'see they failed you, we have a different way' etc.
most 'social democratic' parties in Europe are to the right of the so called 'conservative' parties. goofy.
This idea that the left-right divide is gone and we're post partisan is pie in the sky.
You're right! I just had to check outside... so pretty. :)
Tried on a new pair of jeans, apparently tight jeans for guys are back. I just got to say why? lol
Tight jeans look normal on maybe 5% of the male population. I don't understand this trend.
There are also jeans with a butt crack for guys that came out in style, supposedly.
lol my RA...
knocks on the door at 10:30 wearing a catholic school girl outfit... saying she's 'chained to the dorms tonight'

What is an RA.. and why did you turn her away if she showed up at your door in a catholic schoolgurl outfit late at night?
I would be all over that like a fat kid on a smartie.. if I didnt have starfishie beside me
Yea, what's RA? RA in relation to my work is: Regional Assistant.
My thoughts exactly Russ. Why in the world would you turn her away?! I'd be like "Shake your pom poms, girl!"
she's not fat actually, the guys are like "damn we have a hot RA" lol.
RA- Resident Advisor.
I had to read Kafka and his bug.

I take forever and we just met and I don't know if she's single. Then I don't know if she'd date me, I'm a 2nd year, she's graduating this year. I'm making excuses here, it's quite pathetic. lol
I've got more excuses about how my country has her country on the axis of evil, but that's all fun and games really.
ok SD. Keep talking to her.
There were some pretty clouds earlier...

I'm angry because they were complaining in Ontario, that their gas prices LEAPED 13 cents overnight, bringing it UP TO $1.36 !!!!
Ontario has to import most its oil from out of the country (saw a blurb about it on tv) and there's that hurricane in Texas.
So while they've been paying $1.23......we've been paying up to $1.50. Boo hoo for them.
Aww....sorry Michel.

They're remodelling the modernism buildings from the 50s on campus and I must say, I prefer the Modernist buildings over anything they've built on campus. Brutalist structures need to be torn down though, I can't stand the hospital area of campus, it's void of any character and life, feels like you're walking into death.
I like the 1950s at UBC, too.
lol lil me, sorry you went to school in a prison yard on a mountain.
I survived. Was stranded at SFU more than once due to snow- the road up/down closes- usually there's a windstorm/power failure as well, so you're sitting in the dark.
Funny story- just heard this from a very sleep-deprived friend who has a bunch of little kids. She had a rain cheque slip from Crappy Tire and the store manager called her to say that the item had arrived and was now in stock. She piled her kids into the car and went to Crappy Tire...only to discover that she couldn't find the slip in her pocket. Well, you need the slip. There was a duplicate slip on file (the store manager used it to phone her)...but noooo...that wasn't good enough. You needed the original slip. Poor woman was on the verge of losing it. Then she found the slip in her pocket...moments before she went psycho on the store employees.
I'm only laughing...because I've been there.

ugh I hate being an b.a.in the 21st century sometimes, you realize that the world has gone through great changes and ideas and then we just stopped evolving around 1990. Great architecture and art movements, musical movements, and political movements. Then growing up in this period we have nothing, we aren't striving for anything of importance, we're all robots just living out our own existence and complaining about stupid things like 'new' facebook as if that's the most pressing issue of our time.
What? The 80s had a billion things going on. What happened in the 80s created the 90s though.
Look at music. Does anything inspire you? post 80s its anti feeling basically, a message of "we don't have any answers, lost and confused" best examples of this would be Radiohead and Coldplay.
Films are the same way. How come all modern day high art film's deal with the same feeling of numbness and lost feeling.
Politics. God, can we find people that are inspiring and who have any sort of vision? I don't even care if its a left or a right person, which is the problem, we're now suppose to believe that the left and right doesn't exist and we're all in a post partisan age, which of course leads to more 'we have no direction' feeling, nothing to get behind. "radical centre" aka neo-liberalism. It's like Novocaine.
Architecture. What the hell is exactly Post Modernism? What comes after this period? Nothing of course, because we have been fundamentally taught that we've reached the pinnacle.
Everything is now the 'information age' which just leads to isolation and numbness of everything, we've all become cynical. It's like a shot of Novocaine. There's nothing really to get up for in the morning.
ugh.

Does anyone know where you could buy a good wig?
Ask Stephen Harper?
Is he considering long hair now? It might look good on him.
haha why would he go with a wig, he's already got the mullet crowd in his corner. Personally he should grow a beard or just wear his glasses in public more often. But that might be 'too liberal' and his mother might start to worry about him, with a beard and longer hair.
I didn't even know Jasper had a computer.
Will you go this weekend ?
I'm gonna need an official press pass! haha
lol, they answered fast, as I wrote to them last night.
Yes. Light rain Tuesday only. So Saturday I'll drive there, Sunday and Monday will take pics and Tuersday I'll drive back, leaving the rain behind. If it's pretty Tuesday or if the visibility is not that bad, I might add Banff and pass through Revelstoke and Glacier on the way back.
5 days is the top to leave kitty alone.
You've earned some days off ?
Well, I hope the forecast is wrong......not a real stretch.

The old BC Hydro building on Hornby- at Nelson used to play O Canada on chimes at noon. I think?
(http://k43.pbase.com/g6/52/479852/2/74687862.7LYB6GwB.jpg)
I was wrong.
They are horns, not chimes.
They come from Canada Place, but they used to be at BC Hydro.
[p style="font-style: italic;"]Like the 9 o'clock gun, the noon-hour blast of the Heritage Horns has become an institution in downtown Vancouver. A trustworthy friend, the air horns have sounded faithfully at high noon every day for more than 10 years from the tip-top of Canada Place, on the roof of the Pan Pacific Hotel.[/p] [p style="font-style: italic;"]If you listen very carefully, you will pick up on a very distinct, very Canadian melody... unmistakably, the first four notes of O Canada. Can't hear it? Listen again.[/p] [p style="font-style: italic;"]But what's the story? Do we really know what the horns are all about, or is it just the sound effect that once opened the Electric Lunch on the radio? Did we always think that the sound bellows from the cruise ships that dock at the cruise ship terminal at Canada Place over the summer season? Or is it just our cue to go to lunch during the regular grind of the work week?[/p] [p style="font-style: italic;"]The Heritage Horns, as they are known at Canada Place, were built as a BC Hydro Canadian Centennial project in 1967 and were designed by engineer and sound specialist, Robert Swanson. For many years, they were positioned on the roof of the old BC Hydro Building where they sounded every high noon in the downtown core for more than 20 years.[/p] [p style="font-style: italic;"]When BC Hydro vacated the building in the 1990s, the horns fell silent. Shortly thereafter, a permanent home was found. Canada Place Corporation acquired and refurbished the horns, and placed them on the roof of the Pan Pacific Hotel. And on November 8 of 1994, the familiar sounding of the horns returned to Vancouver at noon, just in time for lunch![/p] [p style="font-style: italic;"]Today, the 10-cast aluminum horns point out towards the harbour and sound every 12 noon. At 115 decibels, they can be heard throughout downtown, on the north shore, and some days, well beyond those parameters.[/p] [p style="font-style: italic;"]The horns are operated and maintained by a dedicated group of engineers at Canada Place Corporation as a symbol of our Canadian pride.

After my HUH comment, he told me that "they had men with bananas tied to ropes and around their waist, trying to maneuver a ball across the floor."

I'm not sure, Michel. I'm going to check the store out maybe tomorrow during lunch. On the website, the single copy is $12.99. So it looks like you have to buy something else to combine the 2 for 20 deal. I'm sure you can mix and match.... they usually allow that, from what I've seen.

Yes carpel tunnel, it really hurts. Sometime I can't sleep.

I'm not too sure about the Blue-Ray and DVD thing. I'm going to end up buying two DVD copies. One for gift and one for me. :) And I still have to buy The March of the Penguins. I like penguins now. They're so cute.
oh dear.... do you find that it hurts more when it's cold outside?
There is a wrist brace you can buy to help keep your wrist in the correct position. A lot of office workers and store clerks wear them.
You can find it in the drug store- same section as the shoe insoles and tensor bandages.
If I needed one, I'd try to make an extended medical claim....not because the things are expensive (they are not) but because it's work health and safety related.
Funny you mentioned the March of the Penguins purelife. My neighbour finally just returned it about 20 minutes ago. I've been anxious to watch it again.
Michel, are you sure your wrist problem isn't from handling that huge zoom ? (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
Was this at the Metrotown location? I'm wondering if Downtown may have more in stock? I wonder if Future Shop or Best Buy sells it.
Amazon sells it for same price. I'll probably end up buying from Amazon along with March of Penguin. :)
ADD; Ok, looks like a bit more expensive with S&H.
I can't seem to order from HMV website either... :(
I signed in after registering. It looks like I can add items to "Wish List" but I can't locate the "Buy NOW" button...anywhere! It's kinda odd.... or maybe I'm missing it... :( *sigh*
But there isn't a Buy Now or go to shopping cart...only wish list.
$40 then free S&H? If I can't find these dvd's in-store and on HMV site, then last resort is Amazon. I'm sure I can quickly spend 40. :) Thanks Michel.

I ordered a photoalbum book from a site last night, and after it loaded (which took a good 20 minutes) it finally took name, address and my credit card number then diappeared. I was a little nervous. I was afeared that if I did it again, thinking it didn't work the first time, that I'd end up with two.
*Michel....that was one of those books I was telling you about. I did 40 pages....which is a $70 book, but with the coupon, it came to $44.68 including shipping. Good deal !
This is the first one I've ordered, although I have 4 more ready to go. I'll wait for the next 50% off coupon. I hope it's good too, as it's for a gift. It's surprising how many photos it takes to make a 40 page book.
*add: One little flaw in there ordering process, is that when a coupon is active, it's only good for one order. Here's the catch....each book is considered an order. The part that hurts with this method is the shipping. You have to pay it for each order. I wrote to them and they said they were taking steps to improve on this issue.
There are smaller books as well and different cover bindings. The soft covers are extremely reasonable. This is an example of what you could do. There are 240 page layouts to select from....and thousands of backgrounds if you don't want to use your own. You can also do pictures on a full page (8 x 11) and add text or a story.

No no no.....it was my truck for the first 6 years.....hub has driven it for 7. It was Mazda B3000.
Mazda isn't offering what we're looking for this time around (unfortunatley)....and isn't measuring up well for mileage. We're going to have a look at the Toyota Tacoma.
Barely even any minor stuff, Lil Me. It really was good.....no complaints here. Gas, oil....and a couple pairs of brakes.
Hmmm.....strange. Hub's pretty thourough with his research, and he found the opposite. Not a lot of bad comments on the Tacoma at all. Where are you looking ?
Thanks Michel.....I'm sure Sawdust will be all over that, checking it out.
A truck would be good for you, with all your trips. Throw a nice foamy in the back, and you've got a more comfy place to sleep. If you get one, we've got a brand new canopy sitting here that you can probably have. Well....it's not brand new, but it was bought brand new, and only used for a couple months.
Yea.....the gas thing is definitely an issue. It was the Tacoma that had the best mileage, best everything. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/11.gif)

Hey Michel,
Interesting!
It's funny you say that, I have been looking around the valley for the last 10 days or so and haven't seen alot of Tacoma's, which is srprising because there is a disproportionate number of Toyotas here.
Do you have any links to this, the only ones I'm finding are "Buy my Book" links. I was looking at the 4 cyl which I know is a little underpowered at 159 hp, but I need box space more than towing capability.
The standard safety features appeal to me , electronic stability control, brake assist, as well as front, side and curtain airbags. I see between 2 and 10(on a bad day) deer strikes on the way to work, so anything that can help is welcome.
I'm going to ante up for the consumer reports reviews on the '09 and see what they have to say as well.
I guess the truck bed in the Honda Ridgeline is too small for your purposes?
Yeah it is. I do want a 6' bed
So I guess that also means NO to buying an ice cream truck, or an Oscar Meyer Weinermobile.

HAHAHAHAAAA.....That fire truck sounds like it's fully loaded !!!! LOL
There IS a truck that drives around in Nanaimo....that IS a Tonka truck...and it IS Tonka Yellow. I've seen it twice....and it really is cute. It lookes EXACTLY like a Tonka. He must have had the tailgate custom made....because it actually has Tonka across it in the proper raised lettering.
Tonka? FJ Cruiser?
Hahaha I'd buy that.
I agree its chilly outside.
Im going to be removing the starter on my brothers truck and taking it in somewhere to have to looked at. He apparently parked and couldnt start his truck wehn he was along 4th the other day. He reached into his lockbox and took out an axe then started to knock the starter to get his truck started (contacts are gone). I would have paid to have been there to see people watching this guy in a lifted truck banging away underneath it swearing with an axe.

I don't usually have naps when I come home from work, but this 45 min nap really helped. What a difference it makes!
I wish I was a napper sometimes. I just can't do it. Even if I have one of those moments like my eyes won't stay open for another second......as soon as I got horizontal, my eyes would be WIDE open.
My friend naps like clockwork. She does a midday thing and feels refreshed and renewed..
I'm a huge fan of the powernap.

A little nap after lunch is like magic. It recharges rhe batteries for the rest of the day.
Someone I knew worked in a chiropractor office and during the lunch hour, they would shut down and have a nap on the bench.
I've heard of that too. And I think in Spain, work ends early.

A job opening in our company has just opened up again (it was once closed but now, this dept. is looking to hire again). The Mgr called me up because he remembered that I once applied back in March.
Back then, I applied without hesitation. But for some reason now, I'm feeling nervous. I guess that I don't want to come across as someone who has betrayed my boss. I know that they would be terribly upset if I got it. I do know that I gotta do what I want. *sigh*
There's nothing wrong with applying.
You can tell your boss, matter-of-factly that you're applying again...
because the Manager asked you to...
Seriously, purelife...you don't owe loyalty to your current boss. The company would be silly not to promote you...they want to retain good people and keep them for a long time!
Think bigger picture- how your skills can benefit the company as a whole, not just within your dept.
*starts singing the Jefferson's theme song*
Thanks for the support Lil Me and Michel.
I can't believe that I'm getting the jitters when back then, I wouldn't have hesitated.
I also met with the Manager for a brief informal chat. He told me to apply soon (if I was still interested) even though the due date isn't until next week. I was very surprised that he formerly called me to remind me about this position.

Lil Me - not sure if you know this but Zellers also sells the Triumph brand of bras. I was kinda surprised to see them there. (mind you, the selection in The Bay is much greater) I was HAPPY to find one that I liked after all this hunting....
I normally don't consider Zellers as a place to shop for clothes but I brought a really nice black blouse (looks and feels like silk) for $13.
Thanks, purelife. I will check there. I've never been able to buy bras at Zellers because they only stock sizes that are...large. I often have to look around or buy bras in the kids' section (sad...I know....)
I'm still waiting for the Breast Enlargement Fairy to visit me.
I know what you mean about that Lil Me cuz I saw more large cup sizes than the smaller ones and this time, I lucked out...maybe it has to do with the store.

As for HK, I've been there exactly once...in 1988...hmmm..maybe I should have bought a case of bras there, as I'm still the same bra size as I was then...

I didn't do any research.....lol. I figured for $15.99, it would do the job I wanted it to do, and if it never did another one again, it would still be a bargain. It's just a cheapo Mainstays....and still works fine.

I think it's because he wants to "spy" on us grandkids and his family (he has family in England too) and he likes to be "in" with technology. Heck, he even owns a cell phone.
That's so cool, purelife. I think one of my grandfathers would have been like that, had he still been alive. But he died in 1980. At that time, he had a CB radio and was reading up on video cameras.
I think that it's great to kinda get with the age. And I never told him to get on it.
Technically, he's Mr PL's grandpa but he's still mine and always will be. :) I never had a grandpa that I remembered in my life. My dad's dad died when I was really young and I don't remember him. :(
My great uncle is 90 he talks to his family in Slovakia on Skype and email, lifts weights and went to Slovakia for a month in Septmeber. lol He only does these things now because my great aunt died a 2 years ago. She was a penny pincher didn't see the need for a computer or travelling even.

Yes....I agree that could be the case. But regardless of whether a company needs your business or not, a follow-up call is always nice.....a classy thing for sure.

And ince I don't have an asian gene in me unlike the rest of us nerdy kids (roomies + unoffical roomie) who apparently (so they say..) can focus on other topics to the point the subject or goofy idea they're talking about (rock band, computers, asian gang lords in montreal, trust fund babies, asian stereotypes, asians in general, richmond, chinese who masquerade as japanese etc) and completely get engrossed in their own world they completely forget that casanova has a girl over. Where do I find this genetic mutation? hahaha lol
seriously though roomie needs to go for a grand slam and find a korean girl in the next few hours. Then he's done the Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean the Asian Grand Slam. woot. lol
It's just that girls are always around and they're playing rock band or watching a movie. Well I have a routine in the weekends of watching TV and hanging out lounging in living area. And there's the fact my computer is dying and it is freezing 24/7. So I've spent 10hrs trying to look up a simple group project on Georges Etienne Cartier and its taken me all day when it should have only been 30mins.[/FONT]

hmmm? ;)
still looking for this gene my friends were talking about. lol :P

Michel - I was just informed that Employer Transit Pass will no longer have your picture on it. And, we get to keep our old pass instead of exchanging it for our new pass.
Has SD cast his absentee ballot yet?
yeah 3 weeks ago.
A friend of mine watched me fill it out, took 25mins. She didn't understand why I had to fill out all these yes or no's about judges. Then my law roomie saw the ballot and couldn't believe how politicized the system is. Yeah you vote for your supreme court justices but do you know who they are no. It's ridiculous. Or then you get the judge who's running for a county position and runs on a 'I will put everyone in prison platform', exactly how is that being fair? lol silly.
Well of all the things to politicize, I would think voting should be right up there. [img onclick="selecte('dontgetit.gif');" alt=emoticon src="http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/blehnet/dontgetit.gif" border=0]

eh. I'm just old fashioned, voting never used to be secretive it was seen as an abomination. Although it led to mob killings in Quebec in the late 1770s-1830s. You didn't want to be that guy as the only one voting for the other guy in a room of 30. lol
On the contrary, voting was always VERY private. It was considered ultimate bad manners to even ask who someone was voting for. It was a subject people kept to themselves.
Really, hmm.
You lived in a different era I do not know. lol
Everybody knows who everyone voted for, its rather easy to figure out/if you go to a primary you have to state your party of choice. Then that party knows about you and calls you for the rest of your life.
Voting wasn't always done by secret ballot. Usually it was going to a hall, someone would call your name and you'd state who you were voting for (back 125+ years ago or more). Like a caucus.
Yikes. There's always the cell phone although I never trust mine.
Anybody show up to work an hour early today? I did... embarrassing.

Michel, that's hilarious. What kind of clock were you trying to repair ?
Oh wow.....that's pretty special !
Try the craft stores too Michel. I know they have the clock movements as well. It usually says on the package, the thickness of the clock.
(http://www.michaels.com/online/images/product/large/gc0429.jpg)
lol. Any craft store should carry them....but you might want to save yourself some time and gas, and let your fingers do the walking.
You said voting is private, I just said voting hasn't always been private, in fact the idea that it would be private was scary to people.
No, I'm saying everyone tells everyone who they voted for as most people ask a nano second after you say 'I voted today'.
I haven't worn a watch since elementary school. There's always a clock somewhere and now with cell phones watches are just jewelry pieces and I'm not a bling bling fan.

Yeah that's true purelife, but the first time I remember people wearing watches was during a fossil fad, ever since I've equated to the two as cell phones took over. I hate things on my wrists anyway. Never fits right, even if I get the watch fitted, gets in the way.

It pisses me off when members of my family take something (stapler, kitchen scissors, cordless phone, screwdrivers) and don't put it back in the right place.
I hear ya Lil Me.
I also don't like it when friends/families start snooping around our stuff and then not put it back where it belongs.
Maybe it's just me, but when I go to a friend's place, I wouldn't start touching their things and snooping around unless I have permission from them by asking if it's ok to check out their collection of books (for example). BUT, we have some friends, who would just snoop at our stuff, and doesn't put the items back. First of all, they never asked, and secondly, they didn't put it back to the correct place. GRRRR, pisses me off.

I'm in desperate need of a coat/rain coat with gore-tex.
Do you NEED a Goretex jacket ? ...or do you just want a Goretex jacket. I haven't checked them out in a while....but last time I looked, they're pretty pricey.
Costco, Mark's Work Wearhouse, or some of those clothing stores on Broadway across from MEC. The small stores have some no-name jackets.
Otherwise, there's a 3psc Men's Rainsuit at Costco for about $80- inner shell jacket, outer shell jacket and rain pants.
Well my rain coat failed, and I mean failed miserably. lol
Last weekend I was drier without the coat in the rain than with it.
I'm also freezing, I need a decent coat. Everybody is telling me to go to the Mountain Co-Op.
And since this weekend I'll be sitting around a camp fire in cold nights. I think I need a coat. lol

Funny, I was going to go there this evening to Michael's cuz I needed something, but ended up going to Stupidstore instead.
Has anyone tried grapples? I saw how it was made on the discovery channel (or was it the cooking channel) and had to try one. When I saw them at Superstore, I just had to buy it. They're expensive, a pack of 4 for $4.99. It was so delicious.
Definitely Costco has excellent men's coats like Lil Me mentioned. Mountain Co-op may be too expensive for you, SD.

Best explanation I can come up with is the dominant use of a car. Back home I never wore a coat. I was only outside for seconds before getting in a car. Here I'm walking around for 30-45 minutes at a time. more exposed and we don't turn on the heat around here in the dorm.
oh nice.
ack, my wallet ran away from me again, gonna have to star a search party.
hmm if they have an xl to xxl tall then it'll fit.
Ask Miss Caramel Pork tomorrow if she likes your new coat!

When you wear sweaters inside, it'll make up for the extra space. That's what I end up doing...(buy one size up because my winter clothes are much thicker and will make up the space)
I like the Losers at the New West location because it's bigger, has HomeSense and is quiet. The one in Richmond is pretty good too. Their HomeSense location is the LARGEST I've seen.

IMHO, if your pants are black, the coat should be black.
If you wear jeans, the navy coat is fine.

I wear a long black wool coat and I love it cuz it keeps me super warm. I think dark colored pants go well with a black coat.

I think they're the wetskins. They're waterproof and windproof. Great for skiing.
An excellent brand indeed. I purchased their wetskins women's jacket last year and just love it. Super warm, waterproof and a windbreaker. It also came with waterproof pants. It'll be good when I go snowshoeing.
Hey Michel.....I meant to ask you the other day, if you know anything about how to refinish a French Polish. (not because you are French (lol).....but because you mentioned that you did antique refinishing.)
[/p]
I didn't really take a close look but there is one with black and gray. If I was a guy, I would buy it. It looks very nice.
There were lots at the Stadium location. Not sure about the other ones.
Thanks Michel....thought I might have lucked out in finding someone who has done it. I don't think I would ever use this technique on a piece of furniture 'just because'. But the piece that I have does have a French Polish.....and it could use a little work. It's not bad....but it has a few rings on it. It would have to be redone WITH the French Polish to maintain its authenticity. It was hub's great grandfathers dining table. I imagine it would cost a small fortune to have it done professionally. I don't trust my skill in this area.

I'm not sure if anything is going to make me feel better in the housing hunt. We looked at a ton over the last few days. All photographed well....but didn't measure up in a drive by. I feel a little fluttery today about the possibility of leaving here. Maybe I'm not ready ? I love this place. The logic is supposed to be, that the property is a lot of work, just to maintain, yet when I look at anything without acreage, it scares me.
I AM happy here. I'm trying to look 5 or 10 years down the road. We can't keep the place up forever....and I don't want to wait until I don't have the energy to make our next place 'our own'. I'm all of a sudden filled with doubt. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/9.gif)

I think I'm looking to downsize the work involved here.
Add: There are other factors as well. It's almost an hour and a half travel time for hub each day. And the expense of travel is less of a concern than the 120 kph with wildlife darting all over the place.....every day. It's a bit of a worry (not for Sawdust....for me....lol)
Talking about drop in real estate prices, its a shame how so many people, in the Bay Area, have been ruined in the past few months by their dreams of owning a home. Two years ago these people were waiting in line to buy tract houses for over $700K which for many were two hour commute drives from their work places. Today some of these same homes are worth less than $300K, and many of them have adjustable mortgages which they cannot make payment on now because rates have gone up
That's awful 49er. Were the places remotely WORTH $700k in the first place ? That sounds like a problem greater than a drop in real estate prices.
These are nice homes......3,000 plus sq. ft. brand new; built in once farmland/orchards and far from job centers; some with swimming pools; similar size home closer to urban areas would be priced twice as much. Many of these are planned neighborhoods, family friendly; families rushed to buy because home prices were appreciating like 20% a year.......feared they could not afford if they waited
What a horrible set-back for these people. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/11.gif)

no 49er not a 'professional' student, although in today's world you need a graduate degree just to do anything and everyone takes 5 years to finish (uni's don't even want you to finish in 4 anymore).

I'd best get busy.....I have a book to rebuild. I doubt that I can get it done in time, as I've been working on this particular book since June.

They also included their little blurb about FREE shipping until Nov 24.

I have to report, that the company that lost my books, is going above and beyond trying to retrieve them. I can't believe the lengths they are going to, to rectify this problem. Even if they can't retrieve them at this point, I know it sure wouldn't be for a lack of trying. I can't remember getting that kind of service ANYWHERE in years. (except The Bay....sort of.....it took them 3 years....but they did it)
You're their only client lol (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif)
Maybe they're scared it happen again, hence they need to fix that at any cost.
lol. Actually, their client base is huge. They have been very forthright so far....and I have spent several hours over the last 2 days on the phone with them. They have uploaded caches on my computer remotely, to sift through....a tedious and lengthy process. I am quite impressed.

Mauritania f*cking sucks. Ive been there. Flew in there, then traveled for like 3 hours to get to teh vessel. Its ALL sandy and dry. Theres nothing to do but drink for expats.. Theres tons of insects and certain times of the year there's swarms and infestations.
Alot of the food we would get, when we got it, would have gotten infested by bugs or spoiled.

Well, not sure if MrPL is joining me but I have plans to visit Vegas next year. I've been told that it's a "must visit" place (at least once in your life) and it's still enjoyable even if you don't gamble.
Well I think she'd have a blast up here if she did, plus she'd be of legal drinking age in Canada so we could go places. Money is tight right now and she's off to Italy in the spring. Once I get a job soon it'll be more realistic. I'd still would need to rent a car, she's always wanted to see Whistler and well I'd take her to Tofino.
I don't really see the point in Vegas, some people love it, I rather get in a car from Vegas and drive to the Grand Canyon, that sounds more interesting to me than looking at a replica of the Eiffel Tower. lol

Mad at the CBC again, Canadiens retire Patrick Roy's number and they've got the stupid Leaf-Chicago game on again.
Well this will now be national news, last time CBC had egg on their face they made scheduling practice/changes. They've ditched the Leafs game in the 3rd to the Habs game. lol
Probably a 1,000 people complained with threats of violence or something. CBC last pulled this act when the Habs retired Boom Boom Geoffrion the 'creator of the slap shot' for a Leafs game. People rioted through phone calls apparently.

Vegas is definitely not for everyone. But it's SO much more than looking at a replica of the Eiffel Tower. I LOVE Vegas....and have never experienced a dull moment there. It's the land of decadence, excessiveness, extravagance, oppulence, extremes.....
It's a huge contrast to the peacefulness of nature that I love and my basic frugal nature......maybe that's why it's such fun for me.
well Vegas is that place people don't sit on fence so to speak. You either love it or hate it there's no middle ground.

Take the bus.
taxi
walk
flash and get a ride
get a ride off a friend
hitchhike
Hafta pay to get to the top of Grouse Mountain (Gondola ride).
Can take the city bus to the base of both Cypress and Seymour. Not usually a problem hitching a ride during ski season, but there isn't a ton of traffic going up in the off-season.
Also, the Seymour and Cypress run shuttle buses during ski season, for about $5. I think the Cypress shuttle bus runs from the Park Royal Mall and the Seymour shuttle bus runs from A&W at Parkgate Village.
Yea, yea....that's what I meant. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif) And THEN you pay 3000 Canadian Dollars to look at the snow.

add: when you mean snow and trail what kind of footwear? lol snow shoes? or boots?
SD....didn't you have snow in Missouri ??? Our snow is similar to that snow, so similar footwear for Missouri snow would probably do the trick for our snow. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/c020.gif" border=0]
There's not a ton of snow right now, so you could go in running shoes. Michel said the snow depth is "top of the boot".
If you want to go see snow, just wear the warmest clothing/shoes that you've got and don't sweat the details.

I find that with any new prescription, I get that woozy feeling. It's similar to looking through the thick glass at the aquarium. I have reading glasses that are useless for anything other than reading....and computer glasses that are useless for reading. Both of them would have an unpleasant affect if I were to walk around in them.

We had the frozen rain going on and driving from here wouldn't have been worth the risk. I really enjoyed it....very cute and small town.....but fulfilled what I wanted. There were a ton of little children and to my surprise a ton of teens....and of course every other age group as well.

Rocker panels are the lower panels of a vehicle body, be it car or truck. Look at a vehicle and the lower parts of a car body just on the curve as it goes under teh vehicle.
Here's a place where you can buy weld in replacements. Seriously, think of the lip under the level of a car door, just before it goes under a car.

Hey purelife- if you're having a vision problem, your doctor can refer you to an opthamologist (eye specialist). In which case, regular MSP picks up the tab for your office visits and any treatment because it's a "medical" problem.
I've done this before.

Normal. Reading glasses are set for a short focal distance of 12-18 inches so when you are moving, your eyes are trying to focus on distances outside the range of reading glasses.
PL said

Chances are it's just a floater, which is common and natural. If you start getting flashes of light as well, call an Optometrist as soon as possible.
Lil Me has good advice on the Ophthalmologist, but the waiting period to get in to see him on a non-emerg basis could be quite long.

Don't rush into anything there, once it has started it will continue to strip on it's own.

Now that reminds me, it's the nothing interesting to say thread. I had no cologne too for same reason, and a top model (a real one) was sitting beside me in the return flight lol
That one's easy. Stop into the duty free, and spritz on an expensive demo cologne before you embark. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif)
Do they still have the cologne machine in the bathroom? Put a coin in and stand close to the machine, it sprays you with cologne.
I remember seeing those machines in the bathroom ages ago. You only needed $0.25 back then.
I brought out the Eddie Bauer v-neck sweater, I've reached my 30s officially. man I look old. lol
lol SD. But if you're cold...you're cold. Sweater is good!
When I met Mr LM, he wasn't so good about doing his laundry regularly. He wore the "old man" clothes (like light blue corduroy pants from his mom) at the end of the laundry cycle.

What were you doing in the Men's bathroom?
lol. I have no problem with using the men's bathroom at the bar. Whe you gotta go...you gotta go....
The women's bathroom always has a line-up.
I like Eddie Bauer so, yeah I must be old. lol
I go to that store and every other male I know goes to boutique places.
So I spend 1/10th the price they do. lol
I have just bought 1.1/2 Christmas presents.

Indeed. I heard it in Gastown when I was 'touristing' on turkducken day.
finished reading a article on drug addiction and recovery of addicts in the church... found this interesting but not of interest to post any wear else
"Shannon expressed that many of her clients, in one way or another, were dealing with shame and the need to hide, keeping them from true community. Unconditional love and acceptance encouraged them to be real where they didn't have to pretend. The wall of shame, delusion and denial that surrounds drug addiction can only be penetrated in such an environment. A church that is 'emotionally authentic' gives addicts a safe place to thaw out emotions frozen by years of such denial."
as a recovering addict... i just wanted to state even after 15 years clean this statement made by Shannon is very true and applies very much to areas of my own walk in life... even years later to this very day.
it is nice to learn more on things at times... and other times its better to remain ignorant.. sighs or is it. such a conundrum is it better to know something or is it better to remain ignorant..
I found some fabric today for my lamp shade. [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/a040.gif" border=0] Russ....thankyou again SOOO much. I was pretty certain there was a trip to Van required, and I sure wasn't up for it at this time. I found some dupioni silk in Courtenay. $30 a meter, but it was on for 40% off.
So the $250 lamp will cost me about $30 in total to make.
