I gotta brag a bit … my little sister Shannon just paid me a visit from Guatemala. She was down visiting 2 years ago, fell in love with the place and the people, so she went back last January. She just returned to get rid of her stuff here in Canada so she can continue to travel down there...

Gee whiz, such a surprise. ;) But I bet George Takei is not the only one who's been hiding in the closets of the Enterprise! It may not be big news, but at least it's good news ... I'm always glad when someone famous comes out. Helps make the world a safer place for those who still live in...

Stopped by Pea's yesterday and, lo and behold, fresh out of the oven are made-from-scratch cinnamon buns. I knew the woman could cook, but I didn't realize she can also bake. I've decided to start being very, very nice to her to ensure that every time she creates something like this I get in...

It appears the Canada/US relations are in fine form. Zenfisher and Edgewater made the trek from across the 49th up to Victoria to visit Peapod, Galianomoma and Cosmo. The summit was a success. We gleaned secrets about Rev ( :twisted: got all the goods), discovered Edge's sense of humour (or...

Both as a moderator and a forum member, I’ve been thinking about censorship recently. Simple topic, right? Nope. To make sure I understood the concept, I read various treatments of the topic by both sides of the coin. The architects of our very society argued this unendingly. I found out...

Ran across a link in my travels that I found quite interesting ... for us less politically inclinded souls. I had a vague idea of who does what, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't understand American politics. Anyway, for us dummies, it is enlightening: The Directory of US...

I credit this find to Curiosity from another board ... pretty interesting. Obviously I support gay rights, but maybe the PC police went a bit far with this one? If it had been the other way around (gay man getting fired for commenting), there would be a huge outcry. To me equality is that ...

I used to think he was ok ... now I think he's nuts. Check out this site: http://tomcruiseisnuts.com/home.php Gave me a chuckle. Our Top Gun has misfired, I fear!

Meandering around the web and found this little test. I'm not sure of its accuracy or if it carries a bias, but it's interesting. http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/index.php Mine was Libertarian Left: Economic Left/Right: -1.50 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.46 Guess I'm...

I know absolutely nothing about binoculars, but we need a pair to watch the cruise ships passing by. Anyone got any suggestions for affordable ones? Or have any idea what the numbers (eg. 10 x 25) mean? We want to be able to see quite a ways. We're also considering a telescope instead -- one...

Yesterday Pea and I toured around checking out thrift stores. I LOVE them!!! Got meself a cool jogging outfit and a shelf for the bathroom. The ultimate thrifter is Pea ... she can find the coolest stuff!! Garage saling and thrifting with her is an experience unlike any other. I could sell...

This guy is amazing ... I bought his book and receive his newsletter. We've corresponded via email and he's quite the character. Anyone with stress issues (especially work) might want to give his stuff a read. http://www.stressdoc.com/

Got too many complaints about the cartoons, guys ... thought it was easiest just to delete the thread. Andem agreed.

Just watched Alone In the Dark with Christian Slater and Tara Reid. Kinda cheesy movie, but fun. The best part was the soundtrack ... if you like metal, check it out. I have a list of the music if anyone wants to download. I also have a great free site for downloading, if anyone wants it. ;)

I got this story from another forum I am a member of and thought I'd pass it on ... it came to her via email, so I can't verify it, but thought it should be posted:

Anyone seen "White Noise" with Michael Keaton? Very cool show! I'm a scary movie freak ... love em! Kind of interesting since it's based on a real technique used by ghost hunters. We also watched "National Treasure" which was a good romp, as was "In Good Company". As you can tell, I am a...

Anyone using the newest version of Messenger? I'm gun shy about downloading it ... so many things conflict with Norton Internet Security!! Is it worth the hassle?

I know lots of people prefer to remain as anonymous as possible online, but I admit I check out everyone's profiles to see where they're from, if they have a website, what their interests are. I really enjoy it when people take the time to fill them out. In other forums I belong to, I've seen...
