Again, not my fault the politically correct crowd takes things the wrong way or out of context.

People just need to relax....

Lol You throw around the term politically correct just like most people do with the word irony, INCORRECTLY

Such a great feeling isn't it? CONGRATS!!!!

Congrats!!!

Lol Wait till you see Russia in 2014, that's going to be something for these cry babies to worry about

People take things as they wish and even my fiance agreed with my point on the hocket thing (again same thing as this with the arrogance).

That's the point of the article though, is it's not that normal..

Usually you see all nations fairly represented and the olympic rings everywhere to be seen. In Vancouver though, it was a sea of red and white w/Maple leafs everywhere. Hell, it had been that since almost a year prior. Even when I was in Toronto 3 times this past year (starting with May) it was all over the place.

The Olympics are supposed to be about togetherness, not nationalism.

Lol I'm not getting into it too deeply but the whole "America outscored Canada" argument was a dumbhead comment and that alone deserved some serious flaming.

As for the Olympics, they're actually ALL about nationalism. It's about the host country putting on a spectacular show and awesome face to the rest of the world and I really think Canada did a great job.

Lol Sure seems to me everything you post has quite a bit of anti-Canada flare to it

Of course a country is going to blow the trumpet on their own country when hosting the Olympics. Canada is a rather small nation in terms of population, I really enjoyed watching the Olympics and see the patriotism pumping out of seemingly every person. When I'd be spending every weekend there visiting my wife most people tried to "hide" being from Canada in case it would upset me or something when we'd hang out.

Baaah Wolski got traded for friggin Mueller? That guy is pure garbage, an AHL player at best. Wolski is frustrating but has 47 points in 62 games or something like that. I swear if this turns into another Chris Drury being sent away deal I'm going to look for Pierre LaCroix's gimpy kneecap lol

I used to really like him, when he was on the Canadiens and Blackhawks. It's just quite sad now.

I'm all for living the dream and I'm sure he was doing a lot of good in the minors teaching the kids about working hard and playing smart but it's time for him to stop taking the NHL dream away from kids. He was slow as all getout in his last year in Detroit, was a healthy scratch for many games, and was getting even dirtier than he used to be cause he just couldn't play the new game. Granted it's Atlanta's fault for giving him a deal but he's got to realize it's over, he hasn't been good for a solid 10 years.

LoL, I just read that Chris Chelios just signed a contract with the Thrashers.

Haha That sound you're hearing now is everyone in the league buying thicker shinpads in anticipation of his return to the NHL. I can only imagine how much worse it's gotten with him trying to keep up with young kids and having plenty of time in the minors to watch Axemen Lol

Congrats to everyone who was approved and a huge good luck to everyone later in the week!!!

That's my problem with the Maple Leafs. They have stood back and watched every team to adapt to the new philosophy but themselves. The day they start getting younger, fresher, more vibrant talent, that's the day they will make the playoffs again.

It does seem like a lot of the Leafs fans now are willing to accept a few years of rebuilding whereas in previous years they weren't so that should help out Brian Burke with creating a much better team. Getting rid of Blake this year was a great move but I'm still wondering how bad the Kessel trade is going to hurt them for the next few years. He's a great goal scorer but his work ethic is #######, he refuses to go to the dirty areas, and if he starts getting ripped on too much by the media he's going to be come a little pouty moron like he did in Boston.

I do love watching a team get rebuilt and come together (GO AVS BABY) so hopefully "Canada's Team" can do so finally. I would hate to see Toronto actually win the Cup though cause I have a feeling their fans would rival the ol' Flyers fans in their annoyance powers hahaha

Lol Had the day off yesterday but good God that was surprising what went on in here

Congrats to Team Canada, can't really say either team deserved it more than the other as both played their butts off but in the end the score is all that matters so good for them

And as for anyone saying the tournament should've been a best of instead of one win and you move on, think about it. Team USA would not beat Canada 4 out of 7 or even 3 out of 5. Sure they played great in two games versus Canada but keep in mind Canada was still juggling the lines in the first game. You give that team longer to gel and it would be a massacre without Miller playing out of his mind. I think some forget that Canada had over 40 shots that first game lol

I really am glad that the Olympics are over now because I want every dumbhead American who might've seen Slap Shot or Miracle and nothing else to stop talking about hockey. I'm still hearing how it would've challenged the 1980 team's accomplishments if Team USA beat Team Canada for the gold. Umm, Russia had its pro team on the ice and Team USA was made up of a bunch of college kids who 9 out of 10 times would've been crushed. Be glad that Team USA over-achieved and is setting a very solid foundation for future years and congratulate the team that earned the win.

The lack of sportsmanship or even humility makes me want to puke sometimes lol

Whoa, USA 4 Finland 0 with 9 minutes remaining in the 1st!

Sorry, Scott, they had to pull Kip. Not his game at all.

Setting up to be a good day Wish I was able to watch this one but I'll totally be tuned into Canada tonight. And to think all the national shows I've been watching/listening to say the NHL needs to pull out of the Olympics because they don't get prime time coverage in the States. I think Americans, above anyone else in the world, forget that there actually IS a world outside of the borders Lol

Quick question - how long does the interview typically take? If mine is at 8 a.m., would I likely be out of there by noon at the latest? I was just trying to figure out if it's reasonable for me to catch a 2:30 p.m. flight home on the day of my interview.

While the interview process doesn't generally take very long, I'd give yourself more of a window just to be safe. My wife and I were probably third in line and we ended up not leaving until after 1pm, good luck!

Yep I knew that extra curl last night was going to pay off

I just got it too - if it's ok, I'd like to put this thread in the Site Discussion so Ewok can know.

Whatever you'd like

It's really cool to think while we're all going through our normal days working or whatever that someone is going through such an awesome life-altering event. Good luck to her!!!

I got this PM today, I wonder how many people got it in total haha:

"Hello

My name is miss Sylvia.i saw your profile today on(www.visajourney.com) and became intrested in you,i will also like to know more about you,and i want you to send a mail to my email address so that i can give you my picture for you to know whom l am.Here is my email address (removed) .i believe we can move from here.I am waiting for your mail to my email address above.Remeber the distance or colour does not matter but love matters alot in life) please send me mail to my e mail address.

Please reply me with my email address here"

It's really got to be a sent to everyone cause I can't imagine I'm on the list of people to hit on, you know spouting off about going for the CR-1 visa and everything all the time Lol

There was also some recent controversy with an American partying in Robson Square, letting a girl do things in public with his medal...

Seriously though...let them celebrate. The Olympics is really just a huge party after the "serious" events of the day are over. The media is so hypocritically PC sometimes...

Haha Yeah the guy was a snowboarder, ####### be happy he wasn't toking up right behind NBC's coverage desk Lol

Let them party!! At least they are not trashing hotel rooms!!!

*cough* wow I hate Chelios *cough* *cough* hahaha

The media here in the States is actually ripping on the Women's team from yesterday for celebrating with beer and cigars on the ice. I always wanted the hockey coverage in the States to increase but these Olympics are showing me I'm glad it's a niche sport here, this is unbelieveable lol. You've got football players killing people while driving under the influence, funding dog fighting rings, and basketball players cheating on their wives and brining guns into the lockerroom for Jeebus Sake lol.

Winning a gold medal by beating your BIGGEST rival is a huge deal, let them do body shots on top of the crossbar for all I care haha

another thing is that he has 3 beautiful daughters, our nieces... we we hardly see them... he always has some excuse why he can't come for Thanksgiving or Christmas.. but then awhile back he emailed my husband some pics taken at a Birthday party at Steven Segal's house with him and his family and Steven Segal... that ticked me off because he made time for Steven Segal but not his own family.... and he only contacts his family when he needs some money etc... GGRRRR

sorry for the long post.. this has just been really bugging me lately....

Sure seems to me the guy needs to watch Mr. Segal on A&E's Lawman like the rest of us and pay you guys your monies asap haha

Nothing annoys my wife more than moochers, I bet you guys would bond fairly quickly venting about this back and forth haha

about the soda thing I heard somewhere that if you are going to drink soda you should just drink regular pop not the diet stuff... of course you drink it in moderation...

my hubby has basically given up soda , he will have it when we go out to eat on the weekends but that is it... I don't buy it for the house anymore.. at home he usally drinks milk with ovaltine and for work I bought these little packets of crystal light.. he is not big on drinking plain water...

now if I could just get him to give up energy drinks he has one a day still but I can't take everything away at once

Haha I had a huge pop addiction growing up, would have at least 3-4 glasses at a restaurant and would work on a two-liter if it was available in the fridge at home. When I first stopped I had headaches all day, didn't feel right, was just horrible withdrawals.

Since I do everything in steps I was then drinking Gatorade for a while but then I noticed that still has quite a bit of empty calories in it so I moved on to Propel water. I did that for a while, then moved onto the packets, and now I'm strictly on water. It took a huge amount of time for me (years) but I'm sure if I could do it your hubby certainly could haha

Now granted the only Red Bull or energy drinks I would ever have would be mixed with Jagermeister though lol

It's pretty hard for me to do anything except the Wii Fit.

We have no exersise equipment, we can't afford a gym membership and I dont have running shoes

I can't really look into anything else until one of us finds a job.

Definitely check into the Plyo X workout if you can find it on youtube You don't need anything but a towel and some water. It goes for about 45-50 minutes and I guarantee ya you'll feel it
