Trust you, Charles. Right on schedule.

Well I am on hold with the bank right now (no not Marco - TD - the real bank )

You know, I did not even realize it's Good Friday today!! Husband was going to go to the bank today, guess that's a no go.

Anyhoo, good morningggggg.

Posted an ad on kijiji to give away our window air conditioner - the guy is picking it up this evening. Also posted our sofa on there yesterday to give away, just waiting to hear back from someone about that.

For anyone looking to sell or give away stuff, I would really recommend kijiji Canada or kijiji U.S. - you get replies within minutes if you are giving stuff away.

at the cat pic crikey!

Gotta fit all my Easter pics in before it's over.

Thanks for the link! I need to get rid of a computer desk and some dining room chairs. There would have been a printer table to go with that computer desk but the movers brought it to me in pieces.

I call this picture 'ducks'

Awwwww. Look at the cute widdle gucks. Who wouldn't want to mash their little livers into paste and call it paté?

Crikey, I like how you think

I'll remember to put plastic on the furniture the next time you visit.

Those ducks look silly, I guess that would make the dish silly paté? The duck are too small and too thin for a fatty liver, they need to go on the Mumsie extreme weight gain plan.


MONSTER!!!!!! I thought serving me roadkill was bad enough....

Grooooaaaannnnnn

Them's fightin' words, put up your ducks.

Aaaaaah!!!

I'm bored
I'm b1tchy
I want to go home and sleep.

Are you being held prisoner somewhere? Make a break-out plan and run for the door.

We have been packing, junk man came and took the junk away, hired two kids to rake the lawn and sweep out the garage. We did more packing, cleared out the hallway closet, finished up the spare room.

Sent our lease off to the guy in Florida

I'm tired. There is no 'sleepy' emoticon.

Congrats Trailmix on finishing packing! Now it is


As for Sis, you aren't being held prisoner are you? It's Friday afternoon, take a hike! As my buddy Snagglepuss would say, "Exit stage left!" As for comparing yourself to a female canine, I am having too much fun shopping for a vehicle to make any sort of commentary. Go home and saw some logs! Exit stage left! Now repeat after me,

Goodnight, sweetheart
Well,it's time to go
Goodnight, sweetheart
Well, it's time to go
I hate to leave you, but I really must say
Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight

*wonders if Len will get fired or get hit on over this*

Ditto on the packing trailmix. I remember it oh too darn well to attempt it in the near future

As per moi, after here, TLM is meeting me for grocery shopping (I know, we're just so jet-set and eccentric in our ways ), then back home where I plan on eating whatever is at hand and then crash; since tomorrow I begin at the Cafe-Land of the Spawns, wish me patience.....

Your un-friendly neighborhood barista.....

You got it Sis. I wish you the patience of a Leafs' fan. Grocery shopping on a Friday night, you are nothing if not fearless.

I know.... not too excited about grocery shopping when I'm so darn tired, but what the F. At least TLM is going with me.... woohoo, a date in the supermarket

You kids, just don't try to make out in the meat aisle.

Naaa.... that's just gross. We make out in the frozen foods aisle.... you know, to keep warm

I thought it was good luck to make out in the dairy aisle. You know, eggs and all that...

Well as long as it's not in the produce aisle, all that talk of cucumbers and the like. I'm much too young and innocent for such talk.

Eggs be damned, what about the butter and margarine? Things are going to get mighty slippery. I always knew Nini was one of us.

I knew it!!! Nini is a closet perv... sure she has her collection of battery operated toys and all

I just hope it's not a 12 volt.

Enough perversion - I'm going home.... to Mr. Sabroso.

Good morning everyone!!

So where are all you early risers today....hmmm...hmmmmm!

So the person who was supposed to show up at 6 to pick up the window air conditioner didn't show up - so back to kijiji it goes if the second person that emailed doesn't want it.

I'm really glad I did buy the space bags.

Moving is a weird thing.

Mmmmm, Tims. I had crap coffee this morning. Didn't grind the beans right or sumpin.

I think I must have missed the space bags conversation cause I haven't a clue what you're talking about, nor what they are.

Well, I guess I'm gone for the day. Happy packing, Trailmix!

Over and out.

These are the space bags, they are just the ones you suck the air out of with a vacuum, I seem to have a lot of linens (no surprise really but anyway):

ya, they work surprisingly well!!

good morning everyone. i guess everyone is hunting for their easter eggs instead of having coffee today

As soon as I get outta here and pick up my daughter from her idjit father we will definately be picking up eggs. Had coffee earlier...I'm out of Tim's so it had to be Maxwell House. *sigh*

flames...those are so funny! Very cute!

Here's morning coffee... have to run and do more training today. This is a little different in that one half day a week I'm going to be hearing and investigating elder abuse incidents. Either from family, or the nursing home. Have to interview the resident, and others and make recommendations to the coordinator to follow up with the State. Part of my training today will be going out with the supervisor to handle an actual incident. Will report on my experience tomorrow! Might be a vent though

Enjoy your day!

Oh dear. That's bound to be a little rough on you, Carla. Hope it's just minor and you get through it okay. The nice thing is that you're there to help make improvements, so it's not all bad. Have a great day!

yay i'm canadian!





g'morning everyone.

Best of luck!! Dont go into too much info on here (names, institution, etc) otherwise ur committing a HIPAA Violation!

Good morning everyone!

Well I didn't really do much packing yesterday, I kind of played games and did housework, however! Put an ad in kijiji for our sofa and chairs, to give away - last night the people came over and took those and the little stereo stand and the book case!

The living room is looking decidedly empty. Two end tables, a lamp, an area rug and the cat carrier and a tv of course.

Marco just called, left voice mail....new way to talk to Marco...voice mail

I didn't get a chance to wish you all a

Happy Equinox!



Happy Spring.
That combined with the full moon has been quite the ride hasn't it?!
Things should start to calm down somewhat now for any of you who are sensitive to the Earth's and other planets' cycles.

Thanks Spirit!!! Let's hope the Spring comes with all the good vibes we all need.

Not if you ask the patient first. But the war stories might be too depressing for many, so you may want to speak in more vague terms. Hang tough Carla, elder abuse is never a fun topic.


A financial seance?

Thank you and a Happy Equinox to you and everyone else out there. It's sunny in Toronto today. All we need now is for Jupiter to align with Mars.

Then peace will guide the planets,
And love will steer the stars

Yes indeed. Happy equinox to everyone!

It snowed here overnight. Actually the wind was howling last night - I mean super wind, so this wakes me up around 6-ish, the bedroom seems rather bright and it's breezy.

Day before yesterday I had the door open to the deck, guess I didn't lock it - and it blew open

In the dead of Winter, if the wind blows open the door to your deck and you can't tell the difference, you might be a Canadian.

ahhhhh lol

Good morning!

No flames...I will not violate HIPPA! Was a fantastic day training yesterday. I don't plan on venting here about specific cases...give me credit! Tough job, but I'm up to the task. Never wrong to bring kindness and compassion to those who need it most.

Enjoy your day, wherever you may be!

Yeah, I was thinking Flames was really getting into his training and forgot to account for the fact that you're a professional. (It's okay, Flames. I'm not poking fun at you. I think it's nice that you're excited about your profession.)

Sounds like you had a good day, Carla, and that you are feeling that you are making a difference. It's always nice to have job satisfaction.... that's so rare these days.

Bonjour all.

That sounds super terrific Carlawarla.

You are doing everything right.
