I'm cleaning out the coffee makers *no biggie* - nothing says complete happiness like a clean coffee maker ....only one big thing to remember after scrubbing out the pot with a little baking soda -- rince extremely well before adding a little vinegar to the water chamber and filter bucket. Things start to get a little fuzzy regardless the fact there's water in the pot. *facepalm*

Luckily enough the water didn't spill all over the counter, but for a brief moment, I though it was going to when the water started to foam a bit near the top. I guess that'll teach me for trying to clean the coffee maker *lol*

What was the last great party you attended?


View other answers



The last great party I attended was my wedding reception 15 yrs ago.



I'm thinking things were going fine only to find out a few years later that the people there laughing were laughing at me - more so out of pity. Not because I (finally got) married but because someone close by ridiculed me behind my back (when I went to change out of the wedding gown into a dress).

When I confronted the joker-in-question, they told me they thought it was funny that I thought I was able to get away from my former life, because most people get married and move away from home not marry and stay right where I'm at. Only change I was bringing in an innocent person into my web of insanity and before too long that person will get up and go away forever.

[ mood | icky ]

I have been feeling miserable since Sunday night (around 2000hrs) with a heavy feeling around my chest and my body feeling like it'd been ran over by a semi. I knew it wasn't something serious like a heart attack or stroke, though I did notice that my breathing was slightly laboured. With the recent bout of rain we'd been having it the damp weather has playing havoc with my asthma and bronchitis. I had to wait to see the GP yesterday since he wasn't in on Monday but I did have my inhalers just in case.

Doctors nix idea of 'flu parties' to get immunity in case virus becomes deadlier

Sheryl Ubelacker, Health Reporter, THE CANADIAN PRESS
02 July 2009 06:15

TORONTO - As a reason for a party, this one is getting a big thumbs down from public health officials.

Rumours have emerged in Britain and elsewhere about people mixing with friends who have the new H1N1 virus and parents throwing "swine flu parties" so their children will get infected.

Their apparent reason is a belief that it's better to get the virus now while it causes mostly mild illness than in the fall when a possibly mutated and more deadly version could appear, says the British Medical Association, warning against such disease-swapping socials.

"I have heard of reports of people throwing swine flu parties and I don't think it is a good idea. I would not want it myself," said Dr. Colin Hamilton, chair of the public health committee for the BMA in Northern Ireland.

"The virus has only been known for two months and is still an unknown quantity," Hamilton said in a statement. "Our advice remains that people should avoid contracting it as much as possible until vaccines are produced."

The idea of swine flu get-togethers is likely modelled after "chicken pox parties" of the past, in which parents deliberately exposed their children to playmates infected with the virus in a bid to control when they got the disease. (A chicken pox vaccine is now available.)

While there is no firm evidence that flu-spreading functions are actually taking place, anecdotal reports suggest some people are at least talking about them.

Dr. Michael Gardam, an infectious disease specialist at the University Health Network in Toronto, said he has heard about Canadians tossing around the idea.

"I have no proof that they're actually occurring," he said Thursday. "Just people sort of making off-the-cuff comments about, 'Yeah, we should get our kids together and get them infected' and whatever. I don't know of anyone who's actually done it."

Even though he understands parents' desire to get a bout of flu out of the way so they don't have to worry about it later, Gardam opposes the idea.

"This disease is not always benign. Just like the concept of chicken pox parties. I never agreed with that, either, because that disease is not always benign."

"How are you going to feel if you knowingly expose your child to this and they're the one in 100 or one in 500 that gets really sick from this or in fact even dies?"

In a recent New York Times interview, flu specialist Dr. Anne Moscona of Cornell University called the notion "totally nuts ... It's vigilante vaccination - you know, taking immunity into your own hands."

Canada's chief medical officer of health agreed that holding gatherings to transmit this pandemic strain of influenza would be a dangerous practice.

"The problem is that while it may be true that for the majority it's a mild disease, you cannot predict which child will get seriously ill and die," Dr. David Butler-Jones said Thursday. "And who wants to have that party and have that as a consequence?"

"So to the extent that you can avoid infection, that is the first priority. And then once we have a vaccine in place in the fall, that is the best prevention."

B.C. woman arrested at U.S. border with ecstasy pills shaped like Homer Simpson
THE CANADIAN PRESS
02 July 2009 02:24

BLAINE, Wash. - A North Vancouver woman might well be saying "D'oh" after she was allegedly caught at the U.S. border with 100,000 pills of ecstasy shaped like Homer Simpson and the Transformers.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection says Krysta Edwards was arrested on Friday for attempting to smuggle $1 million worth of tablets into the U.S.

Border officials say the pills were found in a hidden compartment in Edwards' vehicle.

The compartment was allegedly built into the cargo area of the vehicle and was opened by a hidden electrical switch.

Border spokesman Greg Alvarez says this is the second major ecstasy seizure at the crossing this month and signals the intensity of the illicit narcotic trade.

Edwards, 23, remains in custody.

No, I really don't see the point of it. If I was meant to read someone's private writings then it than that's a different matter, otherwise reading without specific consent would just cause more of a headache.

Life according to George [29 Jun 2009|09:11pm]
[ mood | Easily amused ]

"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating...







...and you finish off as an orgasm." ~ George Carlin.

Well we went on the Harbour Hopper before the party. It wasn't all that bad, probably would've been nicer if it wasn't so damn overcast - good thing the rain held off until after we returned back.

I took several pics of both events (76 in total), which I spent the better part of the night uploading and trying to name and tag them all. I had planned on send them to the other leader and the parents of the girls who did show up, but that'll have to wait until later - I am tired and not from the trip.

I really must find my empty flash drive and let the other leader to upload/print them for the girls (or something along those lines), 'cos I really don't feel like giving her my link to my photobucket.

Governor General presents Canadian navy with new ceremonial colours
Keith Doucette, THE CANADIAN PRESS
27 June 2009 05:33

HALIFAX, N.S. - Carrying on an age-old tradition, Canada's navy received its Queen's Colour on Saturday during a parade full of pomp and circumstance at the foot of Halifax's historic Citadel.

The new colours or flag, were presented by Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean, who during an address to 500 sailors and officers from across the country, contrasted her girlhood fear of Haitian military thugs with the pride she feels wearing the uniform as commander-in-chief of Canada's armed forces.

"I grew up under the yoke of of a ruthless dictatorship, where the military uniform came to symbolize the brutal repression of the people, tyranny and massacres," Jean told the assembled ranks.

"You can see how far I have come, from the child who saw her parents, her family, her friends grappling with the horrors of oppression ... And I can say before you now with absolute certainty that it is an honour and a source of great pride for me to wear your uniform."
More from the Gov. Gen. )

Is there something about me that people don't like? [26 Jun 2009|06:27pm]
[ mood | just here ]

Well it's been an interesting past couple of days. Yesterday, I've had at least 4 parents (from my Guide Unit) chew me out because they aren't thrilled that the other Leader still plans to go on the Harbour Hopper before the "Birthday Party" with a 3 hour gap with the girls doing absolutely nothing.

Today when I inform the other Leader (per her request) about the calls and what, if anything that the parents' response. Then she in turns snaps at me, like it's my fault. Her final words to me "I'm really getting sick and tired of this Unit. I'm glad that I'm done with it. It's nothing but a Frigging headache. I'm also fed-up with my on-again/off-again husband and that I'm not exactly thrilled that you woke me up".

I just don't know how much more of this I'm going to take, not that I should be taking any of this in the first place. I simply was doing as I asked and I get barked at. I got barked at by Mum yesterday, but it's starting to sound like a broken record and I don't want to bore, bother or alienate myself as much as I already have. So far I've lost at least 4 "friends" (who recently added me) - I guess I bored them?

Anywhoo... I'll shut up know. 'sides, I have a load of laundry to hang out on the line

Scam post - take 1 [24 Jun 2009|10:31pm]
[ mood | *confuzzled* ]

Well, here's one of many laughing posts. I swear spammers/scammers haven't got a clue. Here are a few from my (2) BellAliant accts and from Gmail. Once I find more that tickle my funny bone, I'll post 'em.

hopefully not coming soon to a mailbox near you )

Nothing much has been going on, just keeping out of trouble. So I decide to check my email for any new and interesting spam to add to my collection for my spam post (not that many for now). Anywhoo... I did receive a link to Jack Black singing

I know I haven't been on today (been reading flists).

Take care all.

Fuin vaer



....and just a little something to fade into the night.....



Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.

Roads go ever ever on,
Under cloud and under star.
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen,
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green,
And trees and hills they long have known.

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with weary feet,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone.
Let others follow, if they can!
Let them a journey new begin.
But I at last with weary feet
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
My evening-rest and sleep to meet.

Still 'round the corner there may wait
A new road or secret gate;
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.

~ J.R.R. Tolkien
