hmmmmmmmmmmmmm *glares at Tommy*. You have a deck???? *Looks at back of newly built house where one day there MIGHT be a deck*.... ummmm...*glares even harder*.....you have a POOOOOOL??????? Pool party at Tommys!!!! (I'm so jealous!). Topsoil moving...good exercise. Okay...now tomorrow I want you to move it back to the front again and then take it on to the back one more time!!!

That's great Argon!!!! I hope to break my plateau soon toooooo.....either that or the scale!! Do you only weigh once a week? (I do).

Oh...and one more thing...even though I've lived in Ontario half my life now, my heart still belongs to the West (Alberta/BC)!!!!

I'm turning 41 soon (UNbelievable!) and my soulmate (aka husband) & I live a couple of hours north of Toronto. He is my support system in this and all other things. We have no children or pets (do dust bunnies count?) and we both work. That's enough info for now...if I say too much I might give away my anonyminity (sp?) and the spys will come after me!!

Oh, and I forgot the most important part...... Yes...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OILERS!!!!!!!! (since the Sens are out!!! :cry )

Hiya AMF101....thanks. Errr...no I was a still slightly out of it when the dr told me the kind of band I have....but I think it is a 10" one...not sure. I'll find out on Thur when I go for the fill (eeep, that is tomorrow!!). Yeah, like you I feel nothing....but tis normal apparently!

I hear ya Tommy....yeppers....I'm in a self-imposed hiatus as well and hope the Canuck site continues to pick up some traction. We can all be warm & cozy together! LOL :confused:

Of course not Donna....that is not what I meant and me thinks you know that! Besides, I would miss my favourite pink lettered lady!

Hey Jude....(hehe...get it.....hums quietly to self...)... Yes, that is one of the things I meant. BTW, I had the same problem with the liquid tylenol and liquid gravol. I ended up getting children's liquid tylenol and maaaaan, was it yummy!! Some grape flavoured stuff...and yep, I drank it down pretty quick since you have to take so much to get an adult dose; my 3 bottles didn't last to long!!!! Good thing it was yummy. It was the same with the liquid gravol. Yeah, and don't even go there with the Protein powder/drinks!!! LOL. I ended up buying the GNC brand at GNC (obviously) and am verrrry happy with it (I have the chocolate one and the bananna berry one). 3 more sleeps for you until bandland!??? EXCELLENT!!!!!!! 2 more sleeps until my first fill!!!! Good luck on your big day; you'll do GREAT.

OMIGAWD!!!! I just read that thread. I'm SHOCKED!!! I know people are different and cultures are different etc and I'm actually very open-minded and into diversity...etc etc but I'm really quite shocked at the number of people who don't take off their shoes when entering someone else's house!!!!! I mean, I don't give a rat's ass whatcha do in your own house...but in someone elses??? Just to assume it's okay not to??? WOW!! I just can't get over that! Like I don't have enough going on in my life to think about!! LOL Tks Argon!! I mean...we just had our house built in Oct 05 and once we moved in we still had all types of labour type folks coming in to do stuff (plumbers, construction workers, painters, inspectors, duct cleaners etc) and they ALL take off their work boots/shoe either on our stoop or in our foyer....NO QUESTIONS asked!!!! AUTOMATIC. Just one more reason I THANK GOD that I live in Canada!!!!!!!!

That's a great point Alexandra....I never even considered that could be what is happening...you've probably nailed it for the vast majority! Tks for pointing that out; it might explain a lot.

I can't imagine going into someone's house (especially someone I don't know) and NOT taking my shoes off!!!! That blows my mind that people will do that...I find it quite rude!! Interesting...I never thought about whether or not it might just be a Canadian thing. I know my relatives in Germany have a basket of slippers by their door and it is expected that you take off your shoes and put slippers on. (they are clean). Now I'm going to lose sleep over this Argon!!! Thanks!! LOL> What was the outcome for the American poll? (if there was one!?).

A couple of days ago I went through all of my clothes and put aside everything that was now too big for me. The pile filled one of those HUGE leaf bags. (the bag went to a friend of a friend's who is one or 2 sizes bigger than me but who is losing weight and would love to have the clothes - not a wls person). So, in that sense it felt really great knowing I was "paying it forward" and someone would get good use of my clothes. Admittedly, I have/had some very nice things so someone hit pay dirt for sure!!! I know, I know...it all sounds like a great NSV, right? And logically I know that it is a good NSV. BUT... Located within that pile was my all time favourite sweater (that I only even had for one year). It was a beautiful "nordic" like ski sweater ...pull over with a few of those nordic buttons at the neckline. BEAUTIFUL colours weaved throughout. I just loved this sweater; I had always wanted one but was never able to find one in my size (until I came across this one last year). When I tried it on, it hung on me so laughably there was no way I could ever wear it. I know some sweaters you can wear even when they are too loose..and it's not so bad etc...but this one looked horrible; really horrible. So, into the bag it went, as I promised myself I wouldn't keep anything that was obviously too big. Plus which by the time next winter comes around it will be even bigger on me (*knock on wood*). So, it is also a sad NSV for me. bye bye sweater. I know I can eventually get a new one (& I probably will next winter)...but nevertheless, I have mixed feelings about his NSV.

LOL Here's my results: Holy %@! You seduced the neighbor's kid, you cradle-robbing hussy! I hope for your sake he's over 18. We sure hope he resembles your husband. . . His name is going to be "Jack Matthew Neighbour Kid"..... LOL The scary thing is that Mr. Yoda is preggers too and is going to have a baby over 16 lbs!!! (oooouch!). The father of his baby is the Pool boy... Good site, I'll have to pass it on...I"ll be careful who I pass it to, some folks I know might take the first part (ie. the scan etc) seriously!!!

Tks all.... I'm glad I'm not the only one who has "attachments" to some pieces of clothing! :think The upside is I can fit into some of the "smaller" clothes I had put away now...not to mention some really nice colourful push up bras that I've hung onto. Needless to say Mr. Yoda is QUITE happy about that one!! :) Ummm...yeah, Jack...believe you me, you'll hear about it once I'm forced to shop at a normo store!!! I promise never to be discriminatory against the normos though!!!!

Josette, I promise you will find a huge difference in the quality of your sleep. You didn't think you had it because once you are used to getting a "crappy" sleep you don't even realize anymore it is crappy! You know...you don't/can't miss what you don't know!! I'm excited for you; it will positively influence your whole life!

From my understanding (& this is also what happened in my case) the steri strips will just loosen themselves and fall off. I had one that didn't fall off by itself so after 10 days I helped it along a little. After 10 days, you should be fine.

While in a batting cage, you're struck in the chest by a baseball. You enter cardiac arrest and die within minutes. Guess I won't be going into any batting cages in the future! Mr. Yoda's: While scarfing down dinner, a large chunk of your meal becomes enlodged in your throat, and you choke to death. I keep telling him to slow down!!

Jenna....I have never met anyone else who dislikes coffee as much as I do!!! *hi fives*!!! Yeah man, coffee cake is YUMMMMMY! Crse I haven't had any in a VERY long time and it will likely be several months before I have a lil' nibble! Ummmmmm but...rest assured that Vin could very easily convince me to have a cup of java...very little prodding needed!!! :party: :party: :confused:

Why thank you Jachut!!! I will be sure Mr. Yoda sees your post!!! LOL. 3Loves....ooooh, you have nooo idea the laughs we have. You are absolutey correct, DH & I have a blast together and we are each other's best friends. Hmmmm mind you some may say we are still in the honeymoon stage being married for only 5 yrs (and each is better than the last). (sorry, couldn't resist making the "honeymoon" comment!). Anyways...I have another REALLY good one for you. My Sister-in-Law (SIL) was having some pain in the area...hmmm....how can I put this...in the area between her butt-hole and her "hoo-hoo". So she was telling her husband about it (who is my DH's brother....) and she told him she had a Dr's appointment the next day but didn't know how to describe to the doctor where the pain was. Her husband said...just tell him that your "t'aint" is sore. She said, "huh"...and he explalined to her that the actual name of that part of the body is the "t'aint". So, she was really happy that there was an actual name for it so that she wouldn't be embarassed or feel stupid explaining to the doc. where the pain was; she could just say "t'aint". Well apparently she was also so impressed by the fact that she had this new knowledge she told all her friends the term and YES...at the dr. she kept using the word "t'aint". Later she said he gave her an odd expression but didn't say anything. So...later that night (after the appt) she is talking to her husband telling him about the appt. and using the word "t'aint". Her DH was laughing his arse off and he said "you didn't really call it a "t'aint" to the doc did you? And she said yes...you said that is what it is called. Well, once he was able to speak after rolling around on the floor holding his gut from laughing so hard he said, "ya...it t'aint your arsehole and it t'aint your hoo-hoo, it's somewhere inbetween". Needless to say his wife was absolutely mortified!!!!!! True story. Yes, I married into a warped family indeed! Mind you it helps make my screwed up one look semi-normal so it is kinda a blessing in disguise!!!! :confused: :party:

I'm with you Elisabeth; I will do everything in my power to be a PB virgin!

Nope I don't think she'll ever do it. She will just continue to try and eat healthy and exercise. She has always stated that she "likes food" and never wants to feel restricted in any way. So I don't think she would feel that this is for her. She looks great anyways!

Hello, this is Mr. Yoda, (Yoda's DH). She was showing me this thread and I now feel compelled to share this one with you. One day we were at the grocery store looking to buy a dessert and my wife (Yoda) saw a blueberry coffee cake. I noticed her looking at it and I mentioned that we should buy it as I know how much she likes blueberries. She looked appalled and said, "oh no, I wouldn't like that". I said, "but you loooove blueberries; it would be yummy". And she said, "but you KNOW I don't like coffee, so why would I like this...it's a coffee cake". (Yoda has never drank coffee and maintains that she hates it; even the smell). Looking at her, in total disbelief for a moment... absorbing what she had just said, I began to giggle. "Whaaaaat???", she asked. Grinning, I asked her if she thought that coffee cake really was made with coffee. Totally serious, she said, "yes, of course, it is COFFEE cake" (as if I was the idiot!). Laughing seriously out loud now I proceeded to educate her about the true nature of coffee cake. (in other words it is called coffee cake, as it is the "style" of cake that typically one would have with coffee!). I'm still not convinced that she believes me (especially after the grey cow episode). However, you should know that we did buy the blueberry coffee cake and she loved it!!! It is now one of her favourites...(but she still hates coffee). Just wanted to share. That'll teach her to allow me to use her password and come on here!! MMMMMWWWAAAAAAHHHHhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa *evil laughter* Mr. Yoda :kiss :kiss :kiss

Here's another one: My husband (who is chef) was at work and one of the young gals that started working there asked him to make her a poached egg (for her breakfast). He said..."sure, go and get me an egg". So, she came back and handed him a hard-boiled egg. He said, "you do know this is hard boiled right"? She said, "yes...please poach it for me". OIY!!!! My hubby just shook his head and went and got an egg. Hmmm however (& not this shows MY stupidity...but in my defense, I think I was just tired and not thinking clearly that day!). My husband and I were driving along and we passed a farm field with a bunch of cows in it. I saw a couple of grey ones and said, "look those cows are grey" (don't see many grey ones). And my husband said, "ya, poor things...that just means their old". I nodded in agreement and said, "ya, I guess". Then after a few mins I smacked him and said, "that's not why they were grey!". He howled about that one for days. The bugger. :confused:

What I'd tell ya????
