Behave yourself. If I asked for pics you would have called me a perv, which is true, but that's not the point.

I'm doing your dirty work

Naaaa.... just making Liz laugh at us bro - she needs some cheering up the gurrrrl

Yup after reading about her mom, that she does.

As for doing my dirty work, let's just say that I'm one of the few guys put there that has his sister as his wingman.

Be politically correct, will you?

MUMSIE- EMPTY YOUR DARN PM INBOX

Sorry, but you were dressed as a man at the time, so what is the appropriate term for that. BTW, why was Bren dressed as a cheerleader?

Actually I just checked it out and apparently the proper term for a relative who acts as a wingman, wingwoman, wingperson, or winger is....Mother.

That's only if you're Jewish and your mom is a Marshugana, which we are not and she is not

Oy, such talk, what will Zaidy and Bubbie say? That would explain why I wasn't bar mitzvahed, but does this mean I have to give up eating ragalach and what about the Hannukah presents, should I give them back?

Why do people seem obsessed with sex and body fluids???? http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...=127576&hl=

I thought mom gave you the talk about the birds and the bees.

Well, it was a beautiful day here in Ontario, wasn't it Liz? lol

Today I hit the jackpot.... Bulk Barn and Dollarama and Kitchen Stuff Plus all in one day. I have been busy stocking up on Canadian groceries and pharmaceuticals ever since I got here.

Oh! And something else that's new and awesome here in my old home town. They have banned the use of chemical pesticides.... only natural gardening allowed. And the garbage is now picked up every other week because they have introduced organic recycling for kitchen waste, as well as the regular blue box recycling, so there is not as many items going to the dump now. I think this is fantastic. Can't wait to move back here. I go absolutely bananas when I see the lack of care for the environment in the US.

Because some people crave attention and so...yeah...they talk about certain subjects ad nauseam and make themselves look like fools.

I'm glad you are having such a good time

Calgary is staring a blue box recycling thing in January I think, it will cost $ 12 per household per month - do they charge there or is it self funding?

Calgary's just starting? Wow. I'm shocked. The recycling here is included in the municipal taxes. Or something. You know.... I honestly can't remember. How sad is that? I'll ask my Mum. Tomorrow. She's in bed now. Oh. And you know what else I can't remember? Celcius. I grew up with fahrenheit and the metric system was forced upon me long after my informative years. After being away from it for the past 1.5 years I now find that I have to convert celcius back to fahrenheit so I can understand it. You know you're old when....

Good morning friends! Seems like there was storms all day and night here. Awesome lightening. I'm so happy you're enjoying your trip Liz and Krikit! Looks like you're going to stock up on all the important items. I only brought one bag of All Dressed Chips with me and I've eaten them already! Enjoy your day everyone!

Thank you for the lovely cup of coffee this morning Carla. I can't wait to go back to Canada, I am going to take an empty suitcase just for the food I am bringing back lol.

g'morning all. welcome back with the coffee, carla

Yes it was!
I have missed my Winners so...................

Go to Ross Dress for Less. They are almost exactly like Winners.... but cheaper. And Marshall's is pretty close too. They're not as pretty but you still get the same bargains.

People always say that about Calgary

The thing is, it went from being a moderate sized city to a big city in such a short period of time, they are just trying to catch up with everything that's expected of a big city.

As for the celcius/fahrenheit thing, i'm really a metric temperature 'understander' ahhh I love new words. I understand F for temps above 70, I know what it feels like, below that I have no idea. I never did the conversion thing - mind you I moved to NZ in my 20's and it was all metric, so that's probably why.

Oh and I meant to say thank you for using me as your referral person when you do sign up for vonage!! They called me last night - it was a combo customer service/up sell call and I got tired of listening to the very polite customer service person after like 10 mins. She had a list of things to ask me, like have you been able to access your account on the web page, have you accessed your voice mail, then she read all the features then talked about referrals blah blah blah.

So finally I say, i'm sorry, I have a call on my other phone - have to go, but thank you! She says ok, is there anything else I can do for you today (wrong script, you called me) - I'm saying no, it's all good, thank you, got to goooo take a call on my other imaginary phone. She says ok, then goes 'oh wait' and starts to go through the list of things again, have you accessed your voice mail etc etc - obviously she hadn't managed to check off everything on her list

At that point I just said - got to go, but thanks! and hung up on her.

Good morning. A steaming cup of brew here for you. Cleaning house today for our company this weekend. Gene's two guy friends from Chicago are coming. We've planned for a Cardinal's game on the Saturday, probably supper out. Should be fun!

i don't see sex or body fluids in that poll, it's about "do you shower/change in front of others?, at the gym"
i'm not familiar with any gym that involves body fluids or sex while one is changing clothes, is there something we should know?

ty for the coffee, carla it's almostday today

Thanks for the coffee Carla!

Another beautiful sunny day here in central Florida.

I just realized I don't have anything to add to that.

Wow, life is GOOD eh? What more could you add! Enjoy your sunny beautiful day trailmix!

I just found out that hubby's new job is going to pay for the rest of his school and his books...

Hey that's super cool!!!!

That is great Marilyn.

he just needs to have grades over a B but that is no problem for my hubby

Sounds like you have an A+ hubby. Not having to worry about who's footing the bill is tres copacetic.

Now who's being naive.

So, I've been working with our Cantors on what we're using for our ceremony music

Our entrance will be Canon in D

Our exit is Mendelsohn's Wedding March =)

just listened to them on youtube =) again

hmmmm. your ceremony will have beautiful music - lovely, lovely choices!

Oh Liz, Canon in D is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever.
Nice choice.
I remember (a loooooooong time ago) on Sesame Street (no less) they played that whilst a time lapse video showed a flower growing and blooming.
It was wonder-full.

at our wedding I entered with Love me tender by Elvis Presley - one of hubby's favourite songs and at our exit we played Stevie Wonder's - You are the sunshine of my life..

Doesn't it amaze you when you spot people going to change in private in some stall?
Are we all adults here?!
Bring back the fact that the human body is naturally nude.
Get over it.
Ha!

why is that amazing? i just don't feel comfortable changing in front of other people

It's been an absolute paradise here in the panhandle as well.
I am chocolate brown and completely slowed down to match the flow of this glorious, quiet place.
I am so going to miss this sacred place and the hospitality of these southern people.

One guy who runs the local health food store and had invited me to his Tai Chi Chuan classes (I went to a couple) said, "You can't leave now. All the plants will die." (a line from a movie) My heart swelled up. He's like, "You could move here...."
Ah, yes, I am day dreaming about it.
I need to learn to surf!

So many places to be, and only one of me.
Sigh.

Bahaha!
Look me up (not that I was ever that concerned in locker rooms) and I will do to you what my good friend did to me (years ago): she took me to a nude beach.
Ah yes....it takes time to get up and run around mind you.
Hee, hee.

(typical, I hit post and then think of some more)

The thing is this, people somewhere along the line went astray with the covering up of the body in the spirit of it is "indecent".
This I have a problem with.

no thanks .. the only person who can see me nude is my hubby and my doctor

I entered with Dan Fogelberg's "Longer Than" and we exited to a song written by my husband's Tante Lucy specifically for our wedding and sung by her.

really nothing for me to get over, is there? that's the name of the poll in bold, i still fail to see how it's related to sex or bodily fluids.

I don't think he was referring to you with the "get over it" comment.. he was talking to the people who go the stalls to change...

Confusion reigns - and 'he' is a 'she'

I was thinking about that after I posted... I wasn't sure if spirit was a he or a she sorry spirit

Oh and we were out on the patio today and my Husband is looking out and he says 'you aren't going to like this' and I say 'what! what'.

He thinks he saw a snake - a small snake, but a snake none-the less!!

Would you have felt better is he said he saw a tiger? There's nothing wrong with one itty-bitty snake, it's not like the snake you to take a bite of an apple or anything.

well i got 50% on that, i knew she was a she until you confused me, but i thought she was telling me something there

no, didn't you read everything in that post? ...lol she was clearly talking about the people who go to the stalls to change
