    To go along with the inevitable Sunday Morning threads... what is everyone doing Sunday afternoon? For me: :bob: Ate lunch with some church people. Mmm... Fazoli's breadsticks... :bob: Put some antibiotics on the eyes of some foster kittens. :bob: Took a 1-1/2 hour nap. :bob: Started raking some of these leaves in the front yard. They are now in big piles waiting for me to do something with them. :bob: Took out my old defective toilet to the curb so the trash guys will pick it up tomorrow. :bob: I may eventually start cleaning up the piles of leaves generated earlier, but not sure. And that may run into Sunday Evening, so I'll have to wait for that thread to post the details. :-D If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.

      I learned that it's very, very easy to make a Jeep Liberty completely lose it on the road if you are dumb enough and game enough. Anyone who was on St Clair around 3pm - yes, that was me. And Budget? You can have you car back now. No, it wasn't me who scratched it. Really. That's right, Canada. I'm back in the Country with a Driver's licence and I'm not afraid to use it. Mwahahaha. cheers, Chris Maunder

        Yes, the city will take things like that, although it's best to call and ask to make sure. My garbage collection is odd though- I am technically outside of the urban service area, so I have a contracting company pick up my trash. They usually take whatever the city will, though, but don't charge extra for toilets. I could pay to have them pick up recyclables as well, (although the city takes them for free) but it's not that hard to take them to the recycling center myself. As for yard waste, they'll take that, or I can compost it in my yard, or take it to the city composting heap. I find it ironic that my toilet is now going to become waste. :-D If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.

          I'm the intermediate host. The Humane Society usually keeps/adopts out the animals that it gets, but it won't adopt out sick animlas, or kittens younger than 8 weeks (because they're too young to be spayed/neutered.) So they put those guys in foster homes, and that is why I have kittens with goopy eyes. :) They will eventually go back into the system and get adopted out. Kittens tend to go pretty fast when they adopt them out at PetSmart. Who can't resist a cute cuddly kitten? I have three of my own (all adopted from various humane societies), so as far as adopting any more of my own - I'm full. :-O If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.

            Let me guess - you were driving on the left, somebody came at you head on, and you swerved of the road and that's why you lost it? :-D I have noticed subtle differences in how Canadians and Americans deal with drivers they don't like. Americans tend to give you obscene gestures or honk the horn. Canadians tend to shout obscenities at you. (Considering my driving, I've taken plenty of both.. :-O) If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.

As I know ASL (American Sign Language), I'm trying to teach him, but he isn't doing too swell on the finger spelling :) We're thinking of getting another cat, but our oldest has FIV (Feline form of HIV that he contracted when he got out one night and got into a fight). Therefore, we're probably going to put that off as we don't want to risk getting any other cats sick. Cheers, Tom Archer Inside C#,

                    Well... Actually I rented an SUV for the weekend in my never ending quest to find a car over here that suits. Back home it was any old thing will do, but over here there's ice, snow, Canadain drivers, the right hand side of the road (what-ever) and Moose. So I took the SUV out of all-wheel drive mode, drove around a corner reasonably fast and then floored it. Weeeeeeeeeeeee! cheers, Chris Maunder

SUVs, driving on the wrong side of the road, buying new TVs just because the old one packed in and I haven't seen you say mate or no worries for a very long time. :| regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Marc Clifton wrote: "organically fed captivity free regurgitated bee nectar" (honey) on dieting.

Claims to be sick or some other lame arse excuse and immediately parties hard when back in the northern hemisphere.

                                        To go along with the inevitable Sunday Morning threads... what is everyone doing Sunday afternoon? For me: :bob: Ate lunch with some church people. Mmm... Fazoli's breadsticks... :bob: Put some antibiotics on the eyes of some foster kittens. :bob: Took a 1-1/2 hour nap. :bob: Started raking some of these leaves in the front yard. They are now in big piles waiting for me to do something with them. :bob: Took out my old defective toilet to the curb so the trash guys will pick it up tomorrow. :bob: I may eventually start cleaning up the piles of leaves generated earlier, but not sure. And that may run into Sunday Evening, so I'll have to wait for that thread to post the details. :-D If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.

                                        After Church in the morning I went into town to hunt for Christmas presents for my kids. :) After chilling out with my housemates in the late afternoon my friend Susie turned up and we spent a fun couple of hours chatting and generally looking ahead to the next time we'll see each other - at Heathrow airport after I get back from Thailand. I spent most of the evening replying to emails, chatting and being chatted up. ;) Anna :rose: Homepage | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.
