Hey Snap-did you know that davinci's inquest is based on Vancouver's coroner? (something like that)

Yeah, I read that somewhere. If I remember correctly, he's quite a character.

What I find funny is being able to detect a difference in Canadian vs US dialog. Can't quite put my finger on it, but there is a definite difference.

bikerz - Thanks! I'll take you up on that.

KnottedYet - that's really cool about your uncle! Regarding Iraq, that's a good question. I'm thinking that since their govt. is sort of our govt. right now, and our dweeb leader is oil-obsessed, then oil is the thing. It would be wonderfully ironic if they could use solar in building back their infrastructure.

MP - I've been debating about seeing that movie. I may go see it now, since I'm already upset about the subject, and I think more information might be good. We'll see. I don't know a single person who would go with me, cuz they feel the same way you do.

Everybody, thanks for the info on solar, A/C use wrt mold etc.

In case you happened upon my cranky rant about the neighbors across the street--I deleted it! Post-call crankiness! Not to be inflicted upon TD!

[Veronica]

I'm sorry. My mind is totally in the gutter. Everytime I see the post Hip Angles and Max Thrust I just want to start twittering. I know it's a totally serious post, and I shouldn't laugh, but I can't help it.

Maybe now that I've shared that with you all, I'll grow up. Probably not.

[Veronica]

My attempt at sunshine. Kind of feeble I know, but it's the thought that counts.

I hear being a grown up isn't all it's cracked up to be.

[chickwhorips]

[Veronica]

I wanted the smiley face to be HUGE.

But it didn't work out that way. Stupid computer.... user.

speaking of...... got this in email:

25 SIGNS YOU HAVE GROWN UP

1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.

6. You watch the Weather Channel.

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of "hook up" and "break up."

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."

10. You're the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door won't turn down the stereo.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's leftovers.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

16. You take naps.

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.

19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good sh!#."

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

22. "I just can't drink the way I used to" replaces "I'm never going to drink that much again."

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking "Oh sh!#, what the h*ll happened?"

Bonus:

26. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save your sorry old azz.

Then you send it to a bunch of old friends 'cause you know they'll enjoy it too.

...and now you know why I am sending this to you!

[Veronica]

Well... I don't watch the Weather Channel.

[DrBee]

I do

I must be off my game - my mind didn't go there on the "hip angle" thread right away! Now - I must giggle every time I see it.

[Nanci]

My mind went there right away...BF was in a headline in the paper today for his armadillo rescue. No pic! That was the best part!! Today his (squad) car blew up. I'm not sure what that means...

I bought take-out chicken for my pre-200k breakfast Saturday.

I had an EXICITNG bottle of wine tonight. Hogue Gewurtztraminer, $6.00, Wine Entusiast rates it as 87. I LOVE it!!! Sweet, acidic, smells like green bananas and oranges, tastes like bananas and oranges. Yum!!! I have to get more! How can it only be $6??? I hope BF likes it.

My new Crocs got here. They are bubble gum pink, not fuschia.

My new red Sugoi top got here. It shows every fat bulge. I am keeping it as motivation. I am SO off the diet wagon. Actually, the exercise _and_ diet wagons. I'm wearing it Saturday.

My new set of three bargain phones from WOOT got here, too. (like Christmas in August around here! BF also got his new Smith sunglasses from Steep and Cheap!) I LOVE them!! The base station takes up way less room that the deposed one.

I am out on the patio with Dill reading 23 days in July, drinking a bottle of $5 Shiraz/Cabernet. It's ok. There's sort of a breeze. It's 85 im the house. I think the tropical storm Chris is going to miss us. I hope it brings rain.

I put the Vitesse back on Lava after taking off the Blackwell Flow. If anyone wants to try it out- I'll mail it out to you. Now I covet the Terry Zero X.

[Lise]

Nanci--his car blew up? Like, exploded, blew up? Yikes! +++++++++

(Isaac the cat just inserted those "+" marks. He just has to be part of typing experience!)

I can't even bring myself to open that "hip thrust" thread! My mind went there immediately. The twin bed's still OK with me, but not for actual sleeping....

I still go to bed at funky hours, but that's cuz I'm working for a living at a grown up job.

CWR, hope you get some sunshine up there.

I got two gift certs to the LBS for my birthday! I want to try out that Zero X saddle, too. I'm going to see if I can order it through them.

[chickwhorips]

nanci - have an extra glass of wine for me too. (if your still up and drinking)
