Did you tell them how they could be of help when you returned to the line?

Here's a suggestion, beginning with the relaxation of the sphincter ani to facilitate the removal of the cranium from the perineal area. Followed by removal of all fecal matter from the cranial vault.

Don't you just love it when you have a new haircut you love??? That and a pedicure, are my sure-fire ways of feeling WONDERFUL about myself. I feel like a million dollars!

Yeah, umm....I think it was more like 'ok good, thanks for your help!' (even though I found out nothing new)

I'm sad that I can't bring my hairdresser with me when I move. The end of a six-year relationship is always hard.

ok, I had my little soiree in OT, but I'm staying in the Canada forum now

*wanders thru looking for ice*

Just an update.
Jim just left, he's on his way to pick me up. Hopefully he'll stop somewhere tonight instead of driving straight through. He's decided to brave Toronto, lmao, thinking Sat morning on a long weekend, EEK!!
My dad is home, had a couple surgeries, came home, was sent back a couple days later but it was nothing. He's so stubborn, he still won't slow down, doesn't realize just because you can't "feel" your heart hurting, doesn't mean it doesn't have to heal *sigh* Figures getting some exercise means walking about a mile....UGHHHHHhh. They've gone camping now.
Car is signed over, he paid .08 cents tax, new tires, emissions test...usual, thanks guys *S*
anyway, more packing, cleaning and pulling what hair I have left out.
You all have a Happy Thanksgiving....I'm getting two of them this year, lol

I just got a call

MY DRESS HAS ARRIVED!!

Glad to hear your Dad is feeling so much better tinker and that the car thing is all done!

Your dress has arrived Liz - exciting! - from where hath it arrived?

The dress factory I guess? =)

I ordered it at Bridal & Beyond about 4 months ago.. and it just arrived!

Yay, Liz! First the condo, now the dress! Things are falling into place.

Of course, we now need to see photos of said dress...

I take said photos tomorrow? =)

*holds up a sign that says PIX PLZ*

Now for something completely different.............................

A man with a tape recorder up his brother's nose

You have the longest signature in the world (yes the world!)

Every time I phone the NVC I keep hearing the song "Immigration Man" by CSNY in my head so it seems appropriate for a signature.

I don't hear any music in my head when I call the NVC, do you think this means our case will be completed soon?

I hope so. The last response from the consulate still has me wondering. I plan to wait six months from the date of completion (07/27/2007), mind you it's for my parents so they're not as anxious about getting an early interview as I am. It might be nice to get mom and pop off to their medicals and Montreal before the snow flies. I don't remember if your case is complete at the NVC yet but I would keep checking with them to make sure everything is moving along and nothing is missing, I know in the case of my mother it would have saved several months. My father's case was completed within a month of the receipt of packet IV by the NVC. Keep in mind as IR5s, my parents only have had to worry about packet IV.

Oh I do keep in touch, they are practically family now. I've had 2 RFE's - on the home stretch at the NVC now, they have all the information they need so now I'm waiting to hear the 'case complete'!

Liz, that's gorgeous. *gets weepy*

Classy dress for a classy lady. As for the rest of you scum...

It's absolutely beautiful.

Someone hacked in to my ebay account today and bid on 22 mobile phones on ebay.uk

It's really weird and I wouldn't have known except the thief tried to change the email address on my account (haven't looked at my ebay account in several months).

You know how you get those phishing emails from 'ebay' periodically which are obvious frauds, well I think they are obvious. Anyway I see this email come in today and I'm thinking - yeah, but I open it and it's not a fraud, it has my name, my login name etc at the top. So I go to ebay and log in and there is a copy of said email in 'my messages' - so it is legit - confirming my change of email address on the account.

Look further, here are all these items I have 'won' and several more that are pending. I contacted ebay security and they managed to cancel 18 of the auctions the dim wit was bidding on - but how inconvenient is that for the people who were selling those items?

I'm just glad my login for ebay and paypal are different.

So I had to change all my passwords, including my email password. Dweebssss!

There's a lot of that going around. My mom's VISA card was hacked some how. She doesn't use the card except for emergencies so we caught it after a few weeks. The scumbag ran up a bill of over $1,300 but the good news is that the moron didn't realize that the card has a zero balance and a $20,000 limit. CIBC took care of it, but you can't be too careful these days.

Oh, Liz, your dress is beautiful! You look absolutely gorgeous in it.


Aargh! How annoying for you!!!


Hmmm. Speaking of annoying..... I hate it when my comments all get linked together so it looks like one giant topic.

Bleh. I had that happen to me too. On the day I was moving into my new house (when I was single) I had someone call me on my cell to tell me that VISA was trying to get in touch with me at my old land line. So, in the midst of me trying to tell the movers where to put things (I was by myself) I also had to discuss fraudulent purchases with the credit card company on a crackling cell phone. Apparently I managed to have a night on the town in Toronto (to the tune of $1,500 at Liquid) and purchase $500 worth of gas in Thornhill (I must have been filling my boat) before VISA shut them down. (Thornhill!?) When I received the copies of the transactions, it didn't even LOOK like my signature, so obviously everyone who processed the card didn't double-check the sig. Which makes me glad that those businesses didn't get their money. What a pain.

Absolutely gorgeous dress Liz. Is that you in the pictures? Beautiful lady....

Carla

That dress is to die for!!! So completely beautiful!

Just wanted to say..there are some real jerk off's on this website...one in particular!!! ..none in our little Canada board but I just wanted to say that...
LOL I guess you will always have one or two rotten apples in the bunch. Such is life.
I feel better now!

Two of the pics are me.. the 3rd is some model sitting on a beach somewhere I'm sure.....

Just saw the pics!!


Liz i love you dress! Makes me want to get married again ! I'm sure my husband won't mind since he asked me every week If I want to marry him again

that's so cute!

Beautiful dress liz! You look great in it.

You are far more beautiful than that "other" lady. The dress is stunning on you.

Carla

Liz you look superbe mah girl!!!! Love the dress, but you make it even prettier!!!!

I don't even want to get started about VISA and fraud. Too many memories of people giving me BS at my old job for checking their signature on the credit card. Here's for being a good person

My Father was Canadian... does that count?

I've been asked for my CT state ID 3-4 times in the past month from people who didn't believe i was the owner of my VISA card.. I am actually comforted when they ask - like when they ask for ID at a liquor store.. at least people check!!

They even asked for it at the POST OFFICE!

I used to always thank the people who checked the sig because it was so rare. Now I just stand politely until they're done because it's becoming more and more common. So thank you, Nini. I'm sure your former employer thanks you too. As for the grumpy people.... they have karma waiting in the wings for them.

Of course it does. But beware. Being a Canadian or an Honourary Canadian carries certain responsibilities. You must be polite at all times. But if you cannot be polite, you must be funny. Go in peace.

Uh-Oh...

Life gets more complicated.

My grandfather was a Victoria Alderman.

krikit, you stated that so succinctly!

Of course Navarre you know you have Canadian Citizenship? Currently, any person born abroad of a Canadian parent is automatically a citizen

Born in Alabama. That's almost as good - right?

I might even own an Anne Murray album or two!!! (NOT)

*shudder*

GOD NO!!!!
Oh good, you said (Not) I feel better now

*starts an Anne Murray bonfire, dances around it*

I had to stare at those CDs all the time at work...

do you by any chance have any programs that check both antivirus and spyware? it sounds like you might have a keylogger.

I did, apparently it may not have been very good (not sure if it was that but it crossed my mind) - so formatted the drive and reinstalled windows, got new antivirus software, very annoying.

For those applying for or already applied for EI... I posted this in the pinned thread:

I know I can do telephone reporting, but I'd rather mail it in so that there's an actual papertrail.
