The Olympics were here in 2002 and it wasn't so bad.  Most people used public transportation.  I was young and single at the time and spent lots of time in bars downtown flirting with handsome men from all over the world.  It was so much fun!!!  If you can get tickets to an event I hope you go.  It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.  I was able to go to two speedskating events and a medal ceremony.  I saw Apollo Ohno win a gold medal.  I will never forget it!  :D

She and Sean were on the View a couple of months back, and she sang a lovely tribute to John.  I liked it.  I know she can be pretty awful, but this was actually quite nice.

I can never stop staring at Sean or Julian when I see them on TV.  They both look so much like their dad, it's just amazing!!!

The 3rd is Rammstein a German industrial metal band who are renowned for their pyrotechnics

Awww thanks, Karen. It's great to be back properly. It took so long because I wanted a beast of a computer to keep me going for some time (i7 intel processor, quad core, 3.20 gtz each one, 1gb nvideo graphics card, blue ray rom, 6gb DDR3 Ram....). This thing goes like a rocket. The wireless connection I have is a bit temperamental but I am hoping these teething problems smooth out eventually.

Is that a reccession thing, Danoota? I know the reccession has been especially hard on the construction business and housing markets. Still, you are right. I am very happy you are here to say hello. I hope you get regular work soon.  :)

The UK apparently have crawled out of recession with an incredibly small amount of growth. However, we are now stupidly in debt (yet again) which will take at least a couple of generations to get out of. Financially, it's got that bad we are in danger of losing our credit rating with the world (or something like that, not sure how it works).

My mate Alex is a bit dozy so I might have to get the ball rolling with driving lessons within 6 months. Finances aren't the worry, doing something that scares me is. I've always found watching drivers confusing but I must shake it off - it's only confusing because I haven't learnt it yet.  ;D

Yes, England is quite nice and it would be great for all the English folk to get together. Fish and chips sounds like a brilliant idea. Back in the day, they used to wrap fish and chips in old newspaper.

Excellent going considering I had a stitch after the five minute mark though I felt a little dizzy coming off the treadmill afterwards.

13 more days for all you Blokes to get your fannies in gear and get your gals a good gift.  In the meantime, my bloke will get me a lame assed present, something overly expensive that I will not wear or such - married 10 years and I got nothing for my anniversary (since I told him I would have no were to wear the bracelet - he took it back and got the money - I haven't seen either)... Guess I got nothing, how ungrateful I am ::)  Oh well, we need the money more than I need a bracelet to sit in a jewelry box

Ha ha, fannies...I know that means butts in the US but over here it means something different.

Awww, it's a shame when budgets are tight. From my experience gifts don't need to be expensive, they've just got to mean something. For example, my ex and I went on a boat and saw some dolphins in the sea (I believe that is quite rare) so I bought her some dolphin earings. They didn't cost the earth but she loved them because they reminded her of that time.

I have a cheap Valentine's Day coming up as I have no one to give gifts for.

We haven't gotten any yet but there are stuff like toaster ovens, grills, telephones, DVRs, t.v.s etc. etc. Each one is worth a value of points-of course the bigger the prize, the more points you need. You get points by transmitting your scans every week and by taking surveys on-line. You also get your name put into a monthly drawing-which we have yet to win.  :-\\

A couple of years ago we took it from Boston to L.A.  I was wary of going, but it ended up being fun, and the time went by quickly.  We get sleeper cars(you absolutely don't want coach), and they have these scenic cars with huge windows.  It ended up that the books and puzzles I brought along never came out of the bags.  It isn't something you'd want to do with very young children, but it is fine when they get a bit older.

Mom's test result was negative for cancer, however she still has to live with the staples across her throat for another week.  She jokes that she feels like Frankenstein's bride with bolts in her neck.  She is horribly bruised all across her throat and under her chin.  It looks like some hit her with the stapler.   :o :D

My aunt has a bloodclot in her lung which they are now addressing.  She was put on a sleep-aid the other night (Ambien) and pulled out her catheter and took a swing at the nuses that night, she was absolutely mortified when she woke to find out what she'd done.

Grandma is touch and go.  She was lucid and able to hold and drink from a water cup and tell us that she loved us, when we were leaving.  She wasn't able to talk alot.  She still has alot of strength in her hand while I was holding hands with her.  Mom and my aunts have pretty much given up hope (saying to me that she wants to die  >:( ), but I try to remain positive, planning her 90th birthday party for the end of March.  I'm trying to be hopefully realistic if that makes any sense.

As for me, I really could use a good night's sleep (or at least a nap) but have 6 loads of clothes to do.

My aunt has a bloodclot in her lung which they are now addressing.  She was put on a sleep-aid the other night (Ambien) and pulled out her catheter and took a swing at the nuses that night, she was absolutely mortified when she woke to find out what she'd done.

Grandma is touch and go.  She was lucid and able to hold and drink from a water cup and tell us that she loved us, when we were leaving.  She wasn't able to talk alot.  She still has alot of strength in her hand while I was holding hands with her.  Mom and my aunts have pretty much given up hope (saying to me that she wants to die  >:( ), but I try to remain positive, planning her 90th birthday party for the end of March.  I'm trying to be hopefully realistic if that makes any sense.

As for me, I really could use a good night's sleep (or at least a nap) but have 6 loads of clothes to do.  


hugs to you .  :)

If you are serious about starting your own business I suggest you get some experience.  Not just in your garden but either working for a nursery or studying horticulture at college.

People don't just dream up a business and then coin in the money.  They have to get off their arses and work at it.

But have you actually contacted a college to see what student support there is?  The university I used to work at employed lots of staff in student support as note takers.

But if you worked in a nursery you don't necessarily have to interact with the customers.  I'm sure larger places (or the mail order places) need a lot of back-room staff tending the plants.

I just think you are blaming your mum for stuff that you could sort out yourself.  You have internet access so look for the SSI department website and read it.  Work out what is available to you.

Ann-Listen to Karen. She is giving you a lot of really good advice. I'm sure many nurseries will be willing to hire you. Having a green thumb is a gift (something I don't possess) and you don't have to hear to do it.

That means we moved out of her bedroom and no more private bathroom & watching t.v. in bed for us.  :\'( :\'( :\'(  I'm also using the wifi now instead of her DSL connection.

Exactly that. I can relate it's very easy to recognize the things you should do but not so easy to actually take the step and do them. It is then also very easy to get angry and frustrated with yourself for not doing them. Take one step at a time and you'll get there.

Missy has to see the doctor, she tried to lift a 200lb weight off the ground and she has bad pain in her back and down her leg, and if that wasn't bad enough she took 2 home pregnancy tests and they both were positive.Oh Lordy, Tim & I were afraid something like this would happen.She went in December to get on birth control, but has no insurance so they did nothing for her but tell her to go to Social Services.Living at someone else house we were not sure how active she was.Tim says he'll love the baby, but he's not gonna hide the fact that he's disappointed in her.I'm not sure what to feel right now. :-\\

Lifting heavy weights could cause hernias and all sorts of problems if not using the correct straight-back/bent knees posture. I hope the pain is passing, she just may have shook something.

Sorry, who's Missy in relation to Tim and yourself? Is she your daughter?

Exactly that. I can relate it's very easy to recognize the things you should do but not so easy to actually take the step and do them. It is then also very easy to get angry and frustrated with yourself for not doing them. Take one step at a time and you'll get there. 


Yeah trying to get myself to do what I need to do.  Looked up this money stuff I'm going to loose that my mom keeps making a big deal about and she's crazy.  I've been looking up stuff for a job in a greenhouse worker, Gone to United Way to look at volunteer work to consider doing something if I don't get hired.  I've considered the fact that even after the cochlear implant I'm still going to be deaf and I really need to practice sign more, and thought it wouldn't hurt to join a forum with Deaf and hard of hearing people.  Might get me a little more interested.  I think it would be smart for me to let my dad know that I am serious about getting a job in a greenhouse.

As for me, well...I feel almost embarrassed to say everything is going my way at the moment. I actually ran into the City Centre for the first time (about 15 min run), people must have thought I was on the run from the police or something, lol. I went specifically for one of those running mp3 players that wrap around the head. I knew the hard drive was pretty small (2 gb) but it was perfect for what I needed.

Strange as it seems, there are two types of the same catalogue shop in the city centre called Argos (sell almost anything pretty much) so I went into the main store and they sold me the wrong mp3 player because, bizarrely, they numbered the mp3 players wrong in their catalogue, lol.

Anyhow, I got my money refunded but said they didn't have the mp3 player I wanted in stock and, according to the bloke behind the customer services desk he said I had 3 mins to get to the other one before they close. So I got out of the shop, thought 'sod this' and bombed through the city centre to the other one. I got there just in time to get the headphones I wanted - I knew running would come in handy for me one day, ha ha.

I've been trying to run...rather than walk...recently. However, I discovered I get shin splints (which are really painful). So...I've been trying to experiment with different running styles, but so far the pain is proving persisently bad. I also should scale back a bit and ease into it more. I tend to want to be able to run 10 KM NOW...when my fitness ( and leg muscle) is only at 2 km... :-\\

I bought new shoes and an over the counter sports orthotic (which helped a little). I'm trying to avoid a really expensive orthitic from a Podiatrist which would have to be replaced each year or so (along with the shoes).

Where do you run gibbo?  Shin splints are more common if you run on v hard surfaces (such as roads/pavements).  Try and find a grassy area or woodland path to run on.  There are also some streches that might help

I understand your impatience, Gibbo. I was exactly like that when I could barely run for five minutes. Yep, I reckon scaling back is definitely the right thing to do if you experiencing pain. Do you stretch your legs before you run? It is vital you do this before and after excercise. Here are some stretches to do to gain flexibility in your legs - don't stretch too much as that can have as much of an adverse effect as not doing them at all:

This sounds a little daft but getting the right size shoe for your feet helps. For example, I was running in a pair of trainers that were a size too big for me and they caused lots of rubbing on my toes and sides. I think the friction in movement caused that.

You may have looked at something like this already but Wikipedia says a lot about shin splints. I am drawing this to your attention to rule out other problems that resemble the symptoms of shin splints:

Yes true...and I am aware that I am running on bitumen and concrete surfaces (and that they are not ideal). I do get off those surfaces and run beside the road or path sometimes (especially if I my shins are starting to hurt). I prefer those surfaces as the softer ground can be uneven or have tree roots, rocks/stones etc that can possibly hurt my feet anyway.

I really want to just be able to do what I see many others of my age (and older) doing. But because I have never really been a runner...I have to start from scratch and build up my stamina and muscles etc. Stretching is an integral part of my pre and post run. I have also begun to apply ice to my shins after running and this eases some pain. Additionally, I have been watching some useful youtube videos on running technique, stretching, specific shin splint exercises etc.

If none of this works ... I will either have to bite the bullet and go back to see the podiatrist or stop running in favour of some other cardioactive exercise...  Either way...I intend to continue exercising and reducing my 'bad food' intake.

Cheers Bobby...I definitely stretch but am guilty of doing too much too soon. I have been walkingh up to 10 KM 5 times a week for the past 6 months. I decided that my bady was getting used to these distances and I needed to exercise in a more cardioactive  way...so I started slow running/jogging instead ...but only 3 to 4 times a week. I started walking a minute and jogging a minute etc (just prior to Christmas). Last Friday, I jogged 7 out of 9 kms (after work). I think this was too far...too soon ... and paid the price with my shin splints returning with a vengeance.

Today, even though there is some soreness, I will walk (not run) 6 or 7 kms. Wednesday I will try to jog over that same course and see how it goes...

As far as weight loss goes though...it is more important that I stay away from fast foods and eat in moderation. The exercise will then be a greater benefit...

I have seen much conflicting advice but have settled on a good 20 secs per stretch. Probably around 10 minutes or so...  I also stretch the upper body muscles as they actually come into use as well in running...

If she is 18, there unfortunately isn't much they (ninny and hubby) can do about her decisions.  Even though she may need all the help she can get and perhaps to mature and take more responsibility for everything, she is still an adult legally now.  Even if it breaks her family's heart.  :(

Have I said how much I dislike snow lately?  Another 6 inches supposed to come tomorrow on top of what we've already gotten.  I am definately thinking more seriously about moving somewhere with no snow.  Thailand maybe?  ;D  Poor hubby has been helping various people who have gotten their cars stuck in the middle of our road since Friday.  I mean, he wants to get more exercise, but this is ridiculous.  The snow plow hasn't touched our section of the road yet, he went up an intersecting street and turned the opposite way away from our house.  >:( >:(

We have one of his friends sleeping on our couch because he hasn't had electricity since Friday and his house got down to 40 degrees Farenheit. 

Looking forward to spring.  Stupid groundhog shouldn't have seen his shadow.  >:( ;D

I understand your impatience, Gibbo. I was exactly like that when I could barely run for five minutes. Yep, I reckon scaling back is definitely the right thing to do if you experiencing pain. Do you stretch your legs before you run? It is vital you do this before and after excercise. Here are some stretches to do to gain flexibility in your legs - don't stretch too much as that can have as much of an adverse effect as not doing them at all:

http://www.halhigdon.com/15Ktraining/Stretch.htm

This sounds a little daft but getting the right size shoe for your feet helps. For example, I was running in a pair of trainers that were a size too big for me and they caused lots of rubbing on my toes and sides. I think the friction in movement caused that.

You may have looked at something like this already but Wikipedia says a lot about shin splints. I am drawing this to your attention to rule out other problems that resemble the symptoms of shin splints:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_splints

Hope this helps, Gibbo. :)




Shin splints....oooh, I hated those!  :(  >:(  I got those in junior high and high school when we did our weekly mile run in P.E.  I occasionally get shin pain whenever I walk too fast during my daily walk.

I had a rubbish nights sleep.  I let the kids watch Bones yesterday and it "creeped them out".  Just as I was going to bed last night they both woke up with bad dreams.  So I ended up with themboth in bed with me.  Which translates as Elizabeth having half the bed, James having most of the rest and me perched on one edge!  At 5 this morning I gave up and went into James's bed for another couple of hours
Oh so it is not just my house then..

The Utah snow is much drier than the snow here.  It's much easier to drive through (says she, who has driven in it like two days!).  The snow here gets flattened down into dense slippery tracks as soon as you drive on it.

That is what happens here as well - but sometimes we do not get what they forecast, and sometimes it is a surprise (so I know that that they could not always do it the night before- and we do not want to have to make up unnecessary days)...  but could they call earlier? - that I think yes

It is mostly because we have soo many students on rural (gravel, minimum maintained roads) - our students are 100% bused (or driven in; we are in the middle of a cornfield - no town around us; just 5 little towns and the countryside make up our school)

^^^ good point  I've gotten some work experience in the nursery at MJC and tried for a major in Envioronmental Horticulture in the past.  With my hearing loss now and  fluctuating, it makes communication difficult if not impossible.  I don't know where I would go to get any more experience and people would put up with my hearing loss.  I don't know, maybe someone will.  Maybe I don't know anything or understand anything.  I don't think I do, but I'm trying to do something.  I know my mom only wants to help and I know I cant just set here and live happily ever after.  


not going to know until you try... my advice is the same I gave you a couple years ago. Look into applying with local nurseries. Even with the hearing loss some will be willing to work with you. Perhaps you can carry a write on wipe off board for communicating with the employees and customers.

How can you think about starting your own business if you can't communicate with your customers and don't manage money?

Dad is coming out of hospital today.  :) It would be nice if they could treat him this afternoon but it looks like it will be at some point next week. He has to go and see the consultant first who wants to see him after all these complications, if he would have only seen him last week like he was meant too none of this might have happened!! Oh well such is life. As least we know what it is and it's treatable.

Other than that I have sorted out the rogue blind delivery, the woman in the shop didn't seem to be at all surprised the courier had gone to the wrong place.  ::)

glad to hear it!

Missy has to see the doctor, she tried to lift a 200lb weight off the ground and she has bad pain in her back and down her leg, and if that wasn't bad enough she took 2 home pregnancy tests and they both were positive.Oh Lordy, Tim & I were afraid something like this would happen.She went in December to get on birth control, but has no insurance so they did nothing for her but tell her to go to Social Services.Living at someone else house we were not sure how active she was.Tim says he'll love the baby, but he's not gonna hide the fact that he's disappointed in her.I'm not sure what to feel right now. :-\\

my legs ache from skiing and I'm tired.

I had a rubbish nights sleep.  I let the kids watch Bones yesterday and it "creeped them out".  Just as I was going to bed last night they both woke up with bad dreams.  So I ended up with themboth in bed with me.  Which translates as Elizabeth having half the bed, James having most of the rest and me perched on one edge!  At 5 this morning I gave up and went into James's bed for another couple of hours

How can you think about starting your own business if you can't communicate with your customers and don't manage money?

Ann you need to start focusing on what you are capable of doing not seeing your limitations a road block.





Actually a business is a mom idea .  I've wondered how the L I'm suppose to do that.  I don't know if she believes I'm going to become an expert in sign language or going to regain all my speech from the implant.  It is a road block right now and I don't have my heart set on starting a business anyway.

It started snowing around 8.15, stopped before 10 and the driveway was still clear.  We went into town around 11.30 and didin't get back until 1.30.  It was snowing again but didn't start really 'sticking' for another hour or so.  In all honesty they could've gone to school and just had an early finish!

Baked some biscuits (cookies) for James's class.  They have Valentine's party on Friday.  I need to make another batch tomorrow.  My recipe said it did 24 round ones but I had a heart shaped cutter and only made 19.  That's exactly one each which looks stingey, don't you think?

Well we just got back from the party and none of Tim's family came. Lousy jerks >:( >:( >:(. I'm so mad right now. To make things worse Tim told me he is getting sick of me always taking Missy's side and giving her food when she comes here.


I'm sorry they didn't show up.  My friend is going through kind of the same thing with her oldest grandaughters mother.  She is constantly telling my friend how low class, etc, her son (babies father) is and how she shouldn't help him at all.  I think it is just anger at the other party taking it out on you.  They don't seem to see the connection between you and your daughter or her and her son.  I think it is the age, they can be quite self centered.  {{hugs}}

That is excellent news, wildcard. My grandad was a very keen gardner, I wish I could share his enthusiasm though I am glad things are coming up roses (or at least some other bloom) for you. :)

16 days will come before you know it. Let us know how you get on.


Not the first time I moved a plant.  I've been trying to note how many hours of sun my garden gets over the year so I'll have a better idea of what to plant.  I'll always have to shelter the plants from the heat in summer. 

Yeah exited about getting the ci

Thanks. Tim's sister Stacey had an excuse she has had problems with her van, Tim's mom knew Stacey wasn't coming and still didn't show up, his sister Wendy said she was coming but never showed. Tim was mad at them but took his frustration out on Missy & I (because Missy left with her friends instead of coming back with us)He was mad at me , because he said she wasn't allowed to come over and eat our food, so I told him he sounded like an a**..Personally I think Tim's mother didn't come or buy him a gift because she was mad because Missy didn't want to tell her she was pregnant again right away, because she is very judgmental, and then Tim's sister Wendy ended up telling her. I should of known they would pull something like this, when my son was little Tim's mom would always manage to get in a fight with a family member just so she wouldn't have to come to his party and give him a present. If my kids got presents they were usually inexpensive or Dollar store presents, what's worse is that when Hannah (Stacey's eldest) had her birthday she would get nice presents and of course my kids noticed this. They use to make the excuse that Timmy was the only boy and they didn't know what to buy him :-\\, that's probably why in the last 3-4 years my son wont have anything to do with them.

I just watched the Olympics opening ceremonies , while it started out slow, there were some good parts in the middle and towards the end. Technical problems near the end.
Feel bad for Gretzky getting soaked, holding the flame, riding through downtown, while it poured rain out there. That could have been arranged in a different way.
Beijing opening ceremonies were so much better.

We then looked out our window and saw 2 nice fireworks shows (one kinda far, downtown, near the flame and stadium, and another one near us, in Richmond)
Nice stuff.

I was all set to call 911 but he is doing better. A nasty bump on the noggin but right now he is reading (something he does all the time). My SIL has been talking about moving into our house after all the work is done because there are no stairs for him to climb. That was part of the reason why we bought this particular house because there weren't any stairs in case there came a point where he couldn't climb them anymore. It may come to that point sooner rather than later.  After all, the guy is going to be 90 in Oct.  :-\\

How fun.  I love it when they start to fiigure out how to motate.



Took my truck in for an oil change and to check the transmission fluid leak.  the part to fix the leak including labor cost almost $400.  I ended up putting another $400 into my stupid truck.  Oh well, I got my tax refund so I had the money and it is cheaper than fixing a transmission. 

I also cut my hair and am having serious buyers remorse.  It was to my butt and now it is just past my shoulders and the grey really stands out.  I think I am going to color it tonight.

I feel happy but also a little surprised at the same time. I went to a friend's birthday party and my mates were teasing me that they would like to see me with this one woman but I ended up meeting another really nice lady instead. We were dancing all night and laughing and joking with each other, she had to go home afterwards because she had to go home to be up early. She wanted me to see her at work Monday. I'm believing this is a good thing, right?

I guess I am being a little sceptical because I have been in situations before where something great has occurred with a woman and then afterwards I end up chasing up a little before I realise...Well...I am chasing and, for reasons I don't understand I am chasing...I don't really want to do that.

Anyone give me advice (if advice is needed, I don't really know). Thanks in advance.

I just watched the Olympics opening ceremonies , while it started out slow, there were some good parts in the middle and towards the end. Technical problems near the end.
Feel bad for Gretzky getting soaked, holding the flame, riding through downtown, while it poured rain out there. That could have been arranged in a different way.
Beijing opening ceremonies were so much better.

We then looked out our window and saw 2 nice fireworks shows (one kinda far, downtown, near the flame and stadium, and another one near us, in Richmond)
Nice stuff.


All I know is that I want to move to Vancouver!  What an incredible city Frank!!  :)

I feel happy but also a little surprised at the same time. I went to a friend's birthday party and my mates were teasing me that they would like to see me with this one woman but I ended up meeting another really nice lady instead. We were dancing all night and laughing and joking with each other, she had to go home afterwards because she had to go home to be up early. She wanted me to see her at work Monday. I'm believing this is a good thing, right?

I guess I am being a little sceptical because I have been in situations before where something great has occurred with a woman and then afterwards I end up chasing up a little before I realise...Well...I am chasing and, for reasons I don't understand I am chasing...I don't really want to do that.

Anyone give me advice (if advice is needed, I don't really know). Thanks in advance.

We were planning a thrilling day by going to Home Depot to look at windows for the house when Carlos cousin came by. He invited us to out on his boat. We went to a place out near the mangrove islands. There were mega boats & everyone was in the water partying. It was way cool. I took pics but they have to wait until I get home to post them. I had fun. Sure beats Home Depot anyday.  :D ;D ;D ;D

Should be a busy day. We are going to take Carlos' cousin over to see the house. He hasn't seen it yet and he was the one who recommended hiring the guy who is doing the work. We may also go back out on his boat again. Tonight after dinner, we have to go to San Juan (about a 2 hour drive or so) to pick up Carlos' daughter & granddaughter #1 so we are going to have a full house until we leave in about a week & a half.

School holiday this week. ELizabeth is away all week skiing with a friend.  Today James and I went to the CT Science Center with a friend.  We went today because they were advertising an exhibition from the Basketball hall of fam was going to be there today only from 12-3.  Turned out to be one table with 5 shirts and a pair of Shaq's shoes (size 32!!) and leaflets advertising the hall of fame.  Still good fun going around the rest of the science center.

Ha ha, I thought Facebook is like a minor step up, I can ask her for her number when I have worked things out a little better in the next week. I'm going for the build-up approach, lol.

The internet just got mainstream about 11 years ago so not everybody was on it like they are now. I asked the girl if she had a Facebook account and she smiled and told me everybody has a Facebook account.

The plane was late. They were taking off when we were already on the road and it was a 4 hour flight. When we got to San Juan, we stopped by one of Carlos' cousin's house. We stayed there until midnight when the plane finally got in. We didn't get back until about 3:30 a.m. Then we had some snacks before going to bed. I think we finally went to bed about 5 this morning. To bed early tonight.

Only met 1 sorta famous person so far, Jacques Demers (he used to coach NHL hockey with Montreal, Detroit and St Louis, and is now a fairly famous hockey analyst in Canada.). He was real nice, friendly.
Not quite a lage crowd yet downtown, but it's building.

My gameplan has changed (gameplan sounds so cynical, lol). We share a friend who has a birthday tomorrow so I asked her if she is going to the party, she grimaced a little and asked if I was going. I said yes and she seemed to change her mind. What I have been doing over the last couple of days is see her a couple of times while I am on break (I get one break every hour because I type on a computer for a living) and we chat about stuff. Well tomorrow I won't go to her on break so the only way she will get to see me is at the party.

In answer to snoz, I'm already getting to know her at work but now this opportunity has become available I will ask for her number tomorrow night once I've had a few drinks down me.

In answer to snoz, I'm already getting to know her at work but now this opportunity has become available I will ask for her number tomorrow night once I've had a few drinks down me.


Good plan Rob.  And yeah I think the facebook thing is a a good start but eventually you'll want to step up your game... Also are there any free exhibits?  Ask her to a museum (I'd say ask her for a walk but I just remembered its cold there....  but you seem to be handling yourself just fine  ;)

yes... when you get film developed they have an option of putting the images on a disc. just like with getting digital images processed. 
When digital cameras were still very expensive it was the easy way to get your pics online- I used to do it all the time.

I'm actually posting from downtown Vancouver. Took a photo of the Olympic flame about 30 minutes ago, met about a zillion scalpers trying to buy/sell hockey tickets...met 1 crazy lady from Germany, she's like on pep pills..wondereful lady to speak with. Met 3 people from Italy and chatted with them briefly with my not so great Italian.  ;)

Only met 1 sorta famous person so far, Jacques Demers (he used to coach NHL hockey with Montreal, Detroit and St Louis, and is now a fairly famous hockey analyst in Canada.). He was real nice, friendly.
Not quite a lage crowd yet downtown, but it's building.
Having fun!

I've had, and hopefully getting over a cold.  I haven't been online because I'll fall asleep.  Getting ideas for what plants I want to buy for my garden based on what I've seen sold here and what will do well.  Some gazanias and africian daisies would look good with a passion vine.  I need lantana for butterfly food and it's a woody looking thing.  So is my potato bush and bottle brushes.  Maybe put those somewhere else.  I'll be getting a mix of seeds that has some plants I want in it and I'm also going to get some cups and or pots so I can have one of everything potted.

Did I mention we had more snow yesterday?  I hope you come home and have to dig out your house!  ;)






Dai just e-mailed me to say he's served notice on our current tenants.  They are horribly behind with the rent, and haven't even promised to pay something towards it like they have done previously.  I do feel for them.  Their son was seriously injured in Afghanistan and had to move in with them.  But we are not a charity, we still have to pay our mortgage.


If we can motivate ourselves, James and I will be meeting friends to go to Chucky Cheeses today.  Might go sledding this afternoon.

We used to have tenants who never paid rent, too. Been there, done that. That is why we took over the entire house. No more tenants. We might as well use the space for ourselves than letting people live there for free.

We didn't just go to the beach today-we went to Guilligan's Island-for a 3 hour tour.  :D ;D ;D ;D  We went snorkeling around the island. The current was VERY strong and I think I bumped into the mangroves many times. I think there was something on the mangroves that gave me a rash-it stings. I'm not the only one. The 6 year old also has a few rashes, too. But man it was incredible.

Ok, I sooo don't blame you for that.

What does Q consider a date?


I want to sit at a table with menus and have someone bring me food.  I wouldn't mind making a day of it... like a walk thru a museum or a park or something, then dinner at a RESTAURANT!  :P  I want a hostess, a waiter or waitress and bus boys.  I want napkins wrapped around silverware.


Again I don't need the ritz. I'd be perfectly happy with Chili's I just don't think a diner is an appropriate place for a first date.

but then I say save that for the third date  ;D 

you know that tri tip sandwich I used to rave about that I can't get anymore.... that place was a hole in the wall burrito place and I took my mom there. My mom's standards are way higher than mine. I had to convince her the food was good... when she had the sandwich she apologized for judging it. 

And as much as I loved that sandwich  (I still dream about it) I would not want to go there for a first date  :P

Don't listen to that women... Bitter women will lie just to see their friends suffer...

This was what I thought. The whole idealogy doesn't make sense, especially if these same women later complain about being pestered by men. I will give her a text tomorrow and see what happens. I asked a woman out over a year back and she politely declined so not all women are like that.

Strangely enough she technically does fit the bill here, snoz. She is single and going through some problematic relationship thing with a bloke. In her own mind she probably thinks she is right but it's awful to hear such a thing when I am making such an effort (more effort than I have ever made probably) to attract someone.

She got me to ask her friend to give me the number. Understandably, she doesn't remember her own phone number and wasn't in a position to reach for her phone. I trust her friend so it all seems okay on that front. But yet again, I've got to ask; 'wouldn't it be easier to reject someone than to lie to them in this way?'

What's the worst that could happen?  You ask her out, she turns you down (I don't think she will , but...), you feel a bit embarrassed for a day or so.  It won't kill you or do any permannent damage to you if she turns you down.

Very true. It's not the rejection that bothers me, Karen. I'm quite thick-skinned these days. It's just the idea that, according to this woman, I would never know when I am being rejected that niggles me.

I don't think I would want to trust my camera in a bag-besides, I have to change the settings. Not too sure how to do that while it is in a bag. I will just have to price submergables and maybe I may decide to buy one-or not.

One guy asked me out, we went to Burger King (remember, I am from a very small town.)  His car was full of crap (didn't bother cleaning at least the front seat so I could sit when he picked me up from work.)  Then when we got almost up to the register, he said he forgot his wallet.  I should have asked him to go get it.  lol  But I didn't want to seem like a total beetch so I paid.  That was the start of a very bad relationship.  He didn't work one day while we were together.   ::)


Another guy I met, our first date was going to a mutual friend's house and drinking kool-aid and vodka all night.  Yeah, that didn't really go anywhere either.

Another guy took me to see "Copycat" a serial killer movie.  I didn't really know him, so I was sitting there wondering if he was taking notes on how to kill me or not.   ;D

At least with my husband, we had pretty much an all-day first date, we drove around the city (I was from out of town) and he showed me all the places he lived (and it did take ALL DAY!)  Went for a steak sub and ate it in a park.  I think there was a movie that night too, as I recall.  Been awhile now.

You continued to date the BK guy after he allowed you to sit on garbage and made you pay for BK? WTF  you are way nicer than me!

Yeah Kool-Aid & Vodka guy also sounds like a winner...  ::)

Ha HA... I feel ya... serial killer movies on a first date are sketchy... horror flicks are good cuz then the girl has to act all scared and shyt. I had a guy take me to see Friday the 13th part 7... and I tried doing that girly "ooh I'm so scared" thing that women do.. hiding my face in his chest and stuff... then the sleeping bag scene happened and I blew my cover cuz I started laughing and cheering!  ;D  I kind of love horror films.  :D


The date with hubby sounds like a perfect day... I like it spend the day getting to know each other better and picnic in the park... Just Perfect...

lol Well, you know I'm not the most confident of women, so my attitude used to be 'I'll take what I can get."  Unfortunately that meant getting the bottom of the dating barrell.

I can totally picture you doing that too.  Classic!  ;D

I'm much more of a wimp, not an especially big fan of horror.  I know I wouldn't survive past the first scene if I were caught in an actual horror movie, well maybe I'd outlive the two young lovers who always get killed first...but definately I'd not make it to the sequel.  :P

It was!  I was so worried about impressing him, and turned out he was feeling the same way.  lol

I figured as much... glad you finally decided you deserved more.


A co-worker once set me up with this guy.. We talked on the phone for like an hour... but I wasn't too sure about him so I decided to meet him some place public before deciding to date him... he wanted to meet at the library.  I found out later its because it was close to his mom's house (which is where he lived)

the fact that he wore a purple velour jogging suit and gold chain should have tipped me off  ::) ... but I sat and talked to him anyway  :-[

He kept talking about his plans.. How he planned to go  back to school and how he planned to get a job and how he planned to move out of his momma's house.. and I said great.. so what are you doing to get started.... after the longest pause he said "well I'm still thinking about it."  ::)    LOSER!!! I told him thanks but I need someone with a bit more motivation.

Very true. It's not the rejection that bothers me, Karen. I'm quite thick-skinned these days. It's just the idea that, according to this woman, I would never know when I am being rejected that niggles me.


I don't think anyone knows they're being rejected when it comes to facing reality.

A. The Black Pearl
B. Call of the Wild
C. My Dinner with Andre

Probably a test to see if you know how to file (numbers specifically), that's what kind of test we took when I started working at the library.  So they know that you won't just randomly put their book out of place.  You'd be surprised how many people forget where they get their book and just put it anywhere they can fit it.  :D  Drives us librarians batty!

Sure does! Drives me crazy too when I see things filed in the incorrect shelf/location/wherever. I'm the kind of person that likes to be organized...so chances are that I would do quite well on the exam.

"C".

12345.1, 12345.11, 12345.2, ________, 12345.3   


12345.4
12346.21
12345.112
12345.212

Choice "D" (.212) appropriately fills in that blank.



plus some simple math. and stuff... 

That's why they suggested to bring a calculator.

well you passed my test. I worked at Barnes & Noble in the 90s you'd be surprised how many stupid employees thought The and A were relevant in alphabetizing... and don't get me started on hyphenated names  ::)

lol Well, you know I'm not the most confident of women, so my attitude used to be 'I'll take what I can get."  Unfortunately that meant getting the bottom of the dating barrell.
Yeah he was too.  lol

I can totally picture you doing that too.  Classic!  ;D

I'm much more of a wimp, not an especially big fan of horror.  I know I wouldn't survive past the first scene if I were caught in an actual horror movie, well maybe I'd outlive the two young lovers who always get killed first...but definately I'd not make it to the sequel.   :P

It was!  I was so worried about impressing him, and turned out he was feeling the same way.  lol


I am very glad you didn't opt for someone purely on a 'take what you can get' basis in the end. I believe you get what you think you deserve in life and if it means waiting for the right person for a little while, it's all worth it for a lifetime of happiness. :)

As for me, I did ask the girl out in a text message. She was very flattered but just saw me as a friend. She thought it would be great if we are friends so I said; 'Of course we can'. I will go over and see her today as a friend. I've finally learnt not to take this boyfriend/girlfriend/relationship thing so seriously and not get hung up about it.

Can you find out the type of test they do and try and find an on-line test that is similar to practice.  Or can you still access facilties at the college you used to attend, such as the careers office?  They might have examples of these tests for you to try.

Thinking I am coming down with something, my nose feels funny (sorta the stinging sensation, and dry, and stuffy)....  I have no Naked fruit juice to drink, everytime I think I am getting something, I chug a couple of them.  And I have yet to get ill :P


6-10 inches of snow, I do not think I will be getting out to get them right away.  Hopefully 2qts of 5 alive does the same thing

Went to the NHRA drag races today.  Stupid weather wasn't cooperating.  It rained on and off all day.  They were supposed to start runs around 10 AM; the track wasn't dry enough until noon.  Got a couple runs in on the Top Fuel Dragsters then it rained a little again.  Got the track dried, a couple runs then the last run before the Top Fuel Funny Cars one of the dragsters lost a tire and wrecked his ride.  He was okay; apparently someone in the crowd got injured from flying debris.  :(

It was taking awhile to clean up the mess so we left our seats to get a drink and stuff.  5 minutes after we left the stands it started raining again ::)  There didn't look like there was much of a break, if any, in the clouds so we took off.  Fortunately the tickets were given to Mrs. Midas (and they were decent seats; not far off the starting line) and the raceway is not terribly far from home (since everything else is :P).

It had been about 25 years since I've been to the drag races.  I forgot how much of an earth-shaking experience it is.  :D

Way cool. You did better than I did. I think we spent the night in Mesquite one time. It was a place called Casa Blanca and we weren't even charged for the cockroaches.  During dinner, Carlos ordered a steak and I looked down and his meat was green.  :o :o :o  We questioned it and was told that was the USDA stamp. Needless to say, we will never stay there again-especially when the machines just kept eating my money and didn't even give me a few minutes of playtime.

Thankfully it was nothing serious, but with my high blood pressure he wants me to follow up with my family doctor..I think it might be gallbladder problems.

TMJ!!!!!    I had this and didn't know what the heck was going on.  It started in my jaw, the next thing I knew I was in so much pain I thought I was having a stroke or something.  I was under a lot of stress at the time.  Google it.

What do you think caused it?  ???

They think I strained something, but I don't think so because I had bad pain going down the right side of my face from my ear to my jaw first.

We are back from the left coast.  Took the train from Boston to San Francisco, hung around North Beach, perfect weather, City Lights Bookstore, lunch at a sidewalk cafe, train to Santa Barbara reliving old haunts, drove to L.A. Forest Lawn Cemetery, Michael Jackson, Spenser Tracy, Walt Disney, Griffith Park Observatory, Seal Beach, Long Beach Aquarium, warm sun the whole time, fly home Jet Blue, nice to get away but love coming home.   :)

Sounds like you had a nice time :)

There's a bed here if you can get this far.





Thanks but we are not going through Bradley. From San Juan to Philly, from Philly to Burlington. I still have last minute packing to do. We will be leaving here in a couple of hours. I said this before and I will say it again, I REALLY can't wait to get home. I have been away for way too long. Carlos is looking forward to getting home, too but it is not as bad for him. Even though he has never lived here, this place is in his blood. And he does have family here-not just his dad & sister but also cousins and only 1 aunt left.  :-\\  We did stop to see her the other day.

My want to get home is overriding my fear of flying.  ;D ;D ;D

Check the weather report before you get on a plane.  We are getting blasted now, and supposed to get more this week.  I know what you mean about flying.  We take the train a lot, having to fly makes me jumpy to say the least.

Unfortunately, flying is the only way we can get here (believe me, I looked).

I have been watching the weather. We shouldn't have too much trouble getting into Philly. I have seen a webcam of Burlington and it looks ok. The roads are clear and there are no delays-YET. The temp is above freezing so it is very wet snow. But who knows what it is going to be like tonight. (We fly out of Philly about 9 p.m.)

We may do it again next year.  We used to do Florida just to get some sun in February, but we all really dislike the place.  The weather in L.A. is better, and there is much more to do, but it costs more.  I'll just have to get those Amtrak miles.   ;)

excellent, that would be cool :)

Yep, I guess Amtrak would be the way to go..

Ours hasn't started yet, but they are pulling out all stops around here awaiting the arrival of what they are calling a Snow Hurricane and Snownado!
They are predicting up to 36 inches of snow for us starting tonight and lasting into Friday.

Went to school this morning, photcopying, laminating, etc for the staff.  Then went outside checking the orienteering map Dai and I drew last night.  One or two things need moving and a few things need to be added.  I was only outside 15-20 minutes and I got soaked.  It was pouring down and the ground is still frozen so there is standing water everywhere.

Heard this morning that our health insurance has changed with little notice.  Now have to pay 50% of all dental charges (including the children).  So much for the company's promise that we wouldn't be out of pocket moving away from the NHS  ::)

Ger be ra  I hear lots of people say it gerber or like the baby products.  Transvaal Daisy AHS Heat zones 12-2 USDA hardiness zones 8-11 light full sun to part shade ( 6 or a little more to 3 or more). Gonna find out if they survive as perennials over here because thats what my book says they are in the above conditions.  If not they should reseed for me.  Mine is a purple/pink color.  I plan on getting orange Gazanias, so purple is good.

WE ARE HOME!!!! WE ARE HOME!!!!


To our surprise, both flights were not only NOT delayed at all but actually early. The first flight to Philly was super cramped. I don't recall being on such a cramped flight before and it was a huge plane. We struggled to put our carry-on, the laptop, & my purse under the seats. They had the little t.v. screens but they weren't on.  >:(  The worse part (besides being VERY cramped for 4 hours) was the fact that someone around us had wicked gas. Every now & again I would smell something 8-P .

We did get major turbulence on the flight from Philly to Burlington but it only lasted about 15 minutes or so. Carlos son met us at the airport. We spent the night with him & his fiancé (Carlos daughter & granddaughter were still in PR and will be coming home today). We left there this morning. And yes, we get home just in time to shovel the driveway. We heard this is the first time that shoveling needs to be done since we left. Figures.

The cats are all over me.  ;D And the keyboard & mouse feels weird. I am going to have to get used to them again. Of course this stupid computer is giving me problems. I just may replace it with the laptop (that Carlos is using right now).

The computer is acting up, the place is a mess, the driveway needs to be shoveled, but WE ARE HOME!!!!

It may be a little chaotic at the moment for you, Cat, but you will get back into the swing of things soon no doubt. The cats must be loving the fact you are back, lol.

I conquered (or at least conquering) my fear of water by taking swimming lessons. They started off basic to the point where it meant simply walking from one length of the pool to the other to start with. As the hour progressed I swam on my front a whole length (probably the only time I have ever done that). I was very pleased with myself. :)

I had a good day today. Ran for an hour, got a half-day holiday from work and spent a lot relaxing and attempting to put files on to my mp4 player. It took a little playing about with but I sorted it.  8)

Today it is time to jump into things. Carlos is going to the grocery store to fill up the refridge & cabinets. He also going to get a can of paint for the kitchen shelves. He just wanted to put the shelves up as is but they are in dire need of a paint job (and now the wrong color) and since he doesn't want to do it-guess who is going to have to.  :-\\  I'm hoping to finish that up within a week and then put the shelves back up and get all the shi... stuff that is still in the dinning room back in the kitchen.

I conquered (or at least conquering) my fear of water by taking swimming lessons. They started off basic to the point where it meant simply walking from one length of the pool to the other to start with. As the hour progressed I swam on my front a whole length (probably the only time I have ever done that). I was very pleased with myself. :)




My hero!  I have a problem with ferris wheels and things like that and have forced myself on them, hyperventilating the whole time.  I know how hard it is.

I love SB but I don't know if I could've survived this place in the 70s lol!


He never mentioned any of that.  He wasn't in school, he was working, had a laborers union card and said he was the only anglo in the bunch, and had a great time.  He was in San Francisco for a while and a short time in L.A. but did like SB best of the three.

You do have a lot of restraint don't you? I may have said a few choice words for him-a lot of them you can't say on this board.


Today it is time to jump into things. Carlos is going to the grocery store to fill up the refridge & cabinets. He also going to get a can of paint for the kitchen shelves. He just wanted to put the shelves up as is but they are in dire need of a paint job (and now the wrong color) and since he doesn't want to do it-guess who is going to have to.  :-\\  I'm hoping to finish that up within a week and then put the shelves back up and get all the shi... stuff that is still in the dinning room back in the kitchen. Yes, time to clean, clean, clean.  8-P

Apparently I wasn't as subtle as I talk... my coworkers were laughing as he left the window.... he came by a second time to thank us for working (which I hate to admit was nice to hear because no other high profile people we've ever worked for not the Dahli Lama, not hilary clinton not any of them... have ever stopped by dispatch to thank us for being there... but I digress)  anyway-  he said something about only having a hundred protesters and how he deserved more... i told him next time I'd work harder to accomodate him  ;D  the guys were laughing cuz apparently I was glaring the whole time he was at our window and said I totally maddogged him  8)

AC/DC played in Brisbane last night. I didn't pay the AUS$150 for a ticket but went over and stood on the hill just behind the stadium (next to a graveyard) and listened for an hour or so...until it started pouring rain. I got to hear some of their big hits though. While I was there they played...Highway To Hell, High Voltage Rock and Roll, TNT and You Shook Me All Night Long (among others).

Very loud and can understand why some of the nearby residents were unhappy about it all. Some complaints came from suburbs many kilomttres away from the stadium.  Anyway.... I could see half of the gigantic stage setup as well as the two large screens. Oh, and there was no problem with the sound!  ::) ;) ;D  It was a lot of fun and the boys really delivered!

WE ARE HOME!!!! WE ARE HOME!!!!


To our surprise, both flights were not only NOT delayed at all but actually early. The first flight to Philly was super cramped. I don't recall being on such a cramped flight before and it was a huge plane. We struggled to put our carry-on, the laptop, & my purse under the seats. They had the little t.v. screens but they weren't on.  >:(  The worse part (besides being VERY cramped for 4 hours) was the fact that someone around us had wicked gas. Every now & again I would smell something 8-P .

We did get major turbulence on the flight from Philly to Burlington but it only lasted about 15 minutes or so. Carlos son met us at the airport. We spent the night with him & his fiancé (Carlos daughter & granddaughter were still in PR and will be coming home today). We left there this morning. And yes, we get home just in time to shovel the driveway. We heard this is the first time that shoveling needs to be done since we left. Figures.

The cats are all over me.  ;D And the keyboard & mouse feels weird. I am going to have to get used to them again. Of course this stupid computer is giving me problems. I just may replace it with the laptop (that Carlos is using right now).

The computer is acting up, the place is a mess, the driveway needs to be shoveled, but WE ARE HOME!!!!


Oh Auntie Em, There is no place like home.

Spent last night in the ER. Charlie was peeing blood-A LOT OF IT!  :o First we were in Rutland at about 5 p.m. Unfortunately, the only urologist in town is known as "Bove the Butcher" and Charlie said he didn't even want to see him across the street. His urologist is in Burlington. So, we came to Burlington at 2a.m. by ambulance which cost us over $1000-which they wanted up front.  Their reasoning was that Charlie didn't HAVE to go to Burlington but wanted to go-when his normal doc insisted that he goes. (His normal doc didn't want him to see "Bove the Butcher".) We were still in the E.R at 7 a.m. when Charlie's daughter came by. He underwent emergency surgery this morning because his bladder was VERY full and he couldn't empty it because he was bleeding and the blood kept clotting. The surgery was preformed by HIS urologist which was a success. He will be in the hospital tonight and who knows for how long. At this point we don't know where the bleeding is coming from but we suspect that it is because of the radiation. Meanwhile, his son brought me to his place where I managed to get 3 hours sleep (after going 24 hours without any). He is also going to bring me home later today to get an overnight bag & such and my laptop. (Right now I am using my step-daughter's.) His kids are taking good care of me.


I just wanted to inform our friends of what is going on and please, thoughts are always welcome.  So, back to the hospital I go.

He is also going to bring me home later today to get an overnight bag & such and my laptop. (Right now I am using my step-daughter's.) His kids are taking good care of me.

Spent last night in the ER. Charlie was peeing blood-A LOT OF IT!  :o First we were in Rutland at about 5 p.m. Unfortunately, the only urologist in town is known as "Bove the Butcher" and Charlie said he didn't even want to see him across the street. His urologist is in Burlington. So, we came to Burlington at 2a.m. by ambulance which cost us over $1000-which they wanted up front.  Their reasoning was that Charlie didn't HAVE to go to Burlington but wanted to go-when his normal doc insisted that he goes. (His normal doc didn't want him to see "Bove the Butcher".) We were still in the E.R at 7 a.m. when Charlie's daughter came by. He underwent emergency surgery this morning because his bladder was VERY full and he couldn't empty it because he was bleeding and the blood kept clotting. The surgery was preformed by HIS urologist which was a success. He will be in the hospital tonight and who knows for how long. At this point we don't know where the bleeding is coming from but we suspect that it is because of the radiation. Meanwhile, his son brought me to his place where I managed to get 3 hours sleep (after going 24 hours without any).

My Dad also had bleeding problems after his radiation only from the other end, it seems they burnt some of his intestine during the process.

Thanks everyone. Things are still coming out pink but at least it is not red. He is not in as much pain as he was yesterday. But it still comes and goes. Of course they have him on meds. Yesterday he was in so much pain that he was screaming. Everyone in the E.R. could hear him. I wanted to cry every time he screamed. The doc thinks he should be able to go home tomorrow. We shall see. I didn't get home tonight so I'm still using my step-daughter's laptop and I'm still wearing the same clothes I wore yesterday. I'm gonna borrow some scrubs from my step-daughter, get into a bath and then throw everything into the washer. It is going to be so hard for me to sleep without Charlie next to me.

Elizabeth had a friend stopping for the weekend.  Yesterday we went to see Percy Jackson and the Last Olympians:The Lightning Thief at the cinema.  Both Elizabeth's friend and James had read the book so they were full of what looked good, which bits of the book had been missed out, etc. etc!

Today we all went to Vermont to go skiing.  Everyone had a good time on the whole.  James was driving Dai to distraction by having his "daft head" on and I couldn't get my ski feet working, but those things aside it was a fun, but somewhat tiring day.

I don't really care if the thread is kept open or not.  That's the creator's prerogative.  That being said, I may lock mine up not long after March 2010 ends.  :D


Then I'll come back here in about 4-6 months and reminisce how I felt about February :D

do whatcha want; I was just supporting one's point. For the most part I don't care either whether one's thread is kept open either.

I still like to reminisce how I feel about past months...and years for that matter :D
