That sounds like a fullfill day Yoda. Yes i like Queen too.The music nowdays is no comparison to our generation . Have a great time and good luck to Mr Yoda. Your trip is coming up soon too.

Say!?!

Since this is Yoda's Yammerings, and I am MR. Yoda, are these my yammerings too?

Or maybe I sould make another jedi journal, but call it MASTER JJ since That would me aptly discribe me...? I wonder...

But on the WWRY (we will rock you) thread, I have been a Queen fan since about 1975, that about when I was old enough to know I liked music. And even got to see the actual band play in Toronto in the late 80's :rockon: (I think, dates are not my strong point) and It was amazing! If the theater show is anything like the real deal, It may just be a little slice of heaven right here on earth. To say I'm looking forward to it is a very, very big understatement!

Yoda suggested we go,:clap2: and the hotel!:whoo: It is no wonder I love her to bits!!!

Oh well... Off to the movies... :pop2:

Yes all the men are spoiled nowadays. I like your picture icons.,they are cute. The only concert i 've seen was in Edmonton many many moons ago.It was Rod Stewart;great performance. What movie did you see.?

[Yoda 0]

Yes Loriely, the men are WAAAAAY too spoiled!!!!! (tho I must admit I am more spoiled than Mr Yoda, fer sure!!).

We saw "Reign on Me"....it was okay...lil' slow. Last wknd we saw "SHOOTER" with my baby Mark Whalberg!!!!! mmm mmmm goooood!! Oh, the movie was excellent too!!! (seriously, has been a long time since I was on the edge of my seat for an entire movie!).

Speaking of concerts...I've seen too many to even count...but I remember the very first one I ever saw (no parents)...I was 13 and it was The Village People!!! LMAO!!!!!

Yoda,

I saw the Village People too. My first concert was DAN HILL - I bet that dates me! I won a back stage pass and thought I had died and gone to heaven.

Lemme just say:

I HAAAAAAAATE HOME BUILDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

Sorry...had to vent. I don't think it helped though.

Are you building a home? (she asks shyly)

[Dame J 0]

Yoda are you buying a new home? How exciting. I am too.

What is up with your builder

[Yoda 0]

Bought it and moved into it 18 months ago. Had problems with our floor (specifically the kitchen floor) from DAY 1...we told them this as it was being built...but they systematically ignored our concerns.

So, now...18 mos later...we just had our Tarion (Ontario home builder warranty) one year conciliation inspection (for all the things that are "wrong" and need fixin') (this was 2 weeks ago)...and now the builder guys are here trying to rip up the entire kitchen floor (& subfloor) and put in new (the proper ones this time!!)joists underneath the kitchen floor (ie. from the basement).

The were just supposed to do joists today but showed up first thing this morning wanting to rip up the floor...and were mad cause our kitchen hadn't been emptied out.

I could go on and on about this fiasco but I can feel my heart rate speeding up....suffice to say that I'm sooooooo not a happy camper and I don't like having all these strange guys around doing bad things to our house! (it's also our first house...so all one big learning curve for us).

It is especially frustrating because if they HAD OF LISTENED TO US from the beginning....we wouldn't be where we are now...and it would save the Builder a WHOLE lotta mooooola!!!!

grrrrr grrrrr

:tired :tired :tired :tired

Oh man that is rough. That is so frustrating. Looking on the brighter side of things at least they are fixing things. I have had friends with issues go through the builder and Tarion and still have to get lawyers involved to get things accomplished.

Hope they fix everything to your satisfaction and to the way it should have been.

[Yoda 0]

Thanks Dame J....yeah, here's hopin'!!!

Yup, I know it could be way worse.....I just wish the craftsmen doing it (well, those who did it) were more professional and took some pride in their work...ya know? Instead of just slappin' thing together. I swear, I think they just gave a group of monkeys a tool box and said, "go at it boys".

:rolleyes :phanvan

I swear, I think they just gave a group of monkeys a tool box and said, "go at it boys".

That is how they do it here in Calgary. Hope all goes well for you. We built our home 3 years ago, and I am still not in a hurry to do that again.

You have to become an a$$hole just to get anything done with these people.

You have to become an a$$hole just to get anything done with these people.

Andrew

EXACTLY!!!! And, I tell ya...both Mr Yoda and are waaaaaay too freakin' nice to deal with these people for EXACTLY that reason. Neither of us have that a$$hole gene. Sometimes I wish one of us had SOME of it so we can "put our foot down" but it's hard to pretend ya have it when ya don't...(& very very very stressful!). But, that is why I love Mr Yoda so much....so I can't get on his case for NOT demonstrating a$$holiness!! LOL

The worker dudes are gone for now but they will be back again tomorrow bright and early.

UGH.

Hey sounds like building a home is worse than loosing weight. Remind me not to do it. Doddie

OMG Yoda I so know what you're going through. We moved into our new home on Jan 29th and we still have things that are not done, like some of the detailing on the outside of our house, the cupboards throughout the whole house and some little deficiencies that were supposed to be done before we moved in. I am so frustrated because I keep calling the builder, like once a week and they keep saying that the company responsible should be phoning me to come out and do it but nobody phones! Finally I contacted the superviser for the area and even he doesn't return my calls! I cannot believe this. I paid for this house in full and it should have been finished before I took possession. Now that I am moved in everybody seem s to be ignoring us. I seriously am thinkng about phoning a lawyer but I don't know if they will be able to do anything. It is soooooo incredibly frustrating.
