I've heard rumours about another bond movie, but nothing concrete.

I don't think there are any more ian flemming bond titles left.

I know quantum of solace was just taken out of one of his notepads, there wasn't even a story behind it, just those three words

Basically this:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1074638/

I think I heard it was delayed because the film company that makes the bond movies went bust

I think I might have been getting it confused with james bond: blood stone (which is a new bond video game)

Good Morning Everyone. Someone said the magic word it looks like. Looks to be windy here today and tomorrow. Are you getting some strong winds Stringer?

No we haven't Adam, actually I just heard that today is supposed to be about 70 degrees and sunny. But cooling off tonight and tomorrow.

We live in an area that is pretty flat Adam but you live in the 'flatlands' my friend. I have been stuck near Indianapolis several times and got caught in some those blizzards. :)

I hope there are more planned I enjoy most of them. Have you heard anything about 'Hereafter?' We went to see 'Red' and we enjoyed it a lot.

Hey bear, no snow yet. They were saying wet snow. But now they are saying 58 and sunny today. Good grief weather people make up your mind!

Sunny how would you like to have a job that puts you on TV and make only 10% correct guesses?

I hope there are more planned I enjoy most of them. Have you heard anything about 'Hereafter?' We went to see 'Red' and we enjoyed it a lot.

Hmmm can't say I have, 'Hereafter' doesn't ring a bell, what's it about?

I would like to go and see RED looks like a good laugh and has some good quality actors, (another comic made into a film :D, speaking of which 'the walking dead' TV series starts on halloween, hope its as good as the comic )

Hey bear, no snow yet. They were saying wet snow. But now they are saying 58 and sunny today. Good grief weather people make up your mind!

yeah yesterday, absolutely chucking it down, today = sunny and bright as anything, but also absolutely freezing, isn't weather fun :D

hmmm can't say i have, 'Hereafter' doesnt ring a bell, whats it about?

i would like to go and see RED looks like a good laugh and has some good quality actors, (another comic made into a film :D, speaking of which 'the walking dead' tv series starts on halloween, hope its as good as the comic )

Hereafter has Matt Dillon and is about a person that touches people and can see their future.

Lots of action, lots of stars and funny also, it moves along quickly.

Sunny how would you like to have a job that puts you on TV and make only 10% correct guesses?

Stringer I would love that!! Getting paid to be wrong. Now that's easy money.

I just took on a job. At home legit job. How did this happen? Lots of friends, connections and a small world. I have a job. Not a job I can live on. But some random extra cash. Weird. I am now selling photography packages. Seriously. When I get my stuff set up I will solicit you all.

:eek: run away!

Stringer I would love that!!! Getting paid to be wrong. Now thats easy money.

Me too, I can't think of another job where you do not have to be responsible for your decisions and make good money. Every decision that I make affects countless people... sigh. I'm 35 and that is why I look as old as I do... WHAT you don't believe that? :)

Ought Oooooo... :)

I went to school with this kid and he is a hot shot photographer down state from me. He posted this thing on his Facebook about needing a sales person that can sell from home and networking sites. Whatever, right, I sent an email. I knew him from school so how bad can he be. I was on the phone with him this morning. We chatted and he was in my husbands circle of friends in school. They were all pretty tight. So he said with the connection we have he hired me on the spot. I have to set up an email, another Facebook and from there I am not 100% sure. But I work the hours I want and put the effort I want in it since its commission. Perfect.

Here is his site. intro (http://www.fotolightroom.com/)

The beauty of this is I know him and he is real.

That's all right if you can get enough commission then :)

That's what I am thinking. I work when I want to work. Sadly it almost seems to easy to be true. I do have an upper hand though since he was one of my husbands best friends. At least I know its not some crazy nut case.

Any hoot. Enough of that. When I get whatever up and going I will babble more then.

What's new, old, any thing exciting?

Nothing new yet, soon to be fallout: new vegas which I should have by Friday :D, my car 7 years old and falling apart, imagine a spring, now take half the bottom ring off it and that's what my right suspension looks like, exciting not really :(

Jeez bear wish I could help. I will send you my Jeep. Its an '03 but needs an exhaust. Remember it has all new tires though. Lol Might be an aweful long drive delivering it to you though. Have me a cold one ready.

Oh its OK I'm still driving my car :D

Just have to save up to get it fixed is all :)

Oh don't worry ill have one in the fridge ready if you do decide to drop by :D

Reet, end of the day and I'm going to head home now, take care you lot, cya later :D

Enjoy your evening Bear!

Sunny, I hate to say this but I think its called 'new salesman's syndrome'. The salesman always sticks their friends and acquaintances first and gets them on board because they are the easiest marks. You say, well I know him, how bad can it be. I have heard that so many times before. Just be careful and don't put any money out 'as an initial investment'. I hope he hasn't asked you do that yet.

Thanks tick. I am always a little leary (sp?) of these things. I am not putting out a penny that's the only reason I even considered it. I never would spend a cent for anything like this. I know about far to many scammers out there. I questioned him how it was going to work and he seemed to have it all figured out. It doesn't sound to me like its going to work but I said since its just networking for him and what not I will try. I do have the time right now to take a minute so why not try. I am out nothing. Although when I mentioned his name to my husband he laughed. Not a good sign!! Oh I am sure I will keep you updated on this. It's a hunch it won't work the way he wants but maybe I am wrong.

I'm bored...

I am to. But not for long I have a feeling. Boss is in town. This day needs to end quickly. I am over it.

Yea, I am done with this week. I really wish I could hibernate until the holidays or something else big like a vacation. I am tired of going on anymore, its just so boring and repetitive.

I usually get in trouble when I start feeling that way. So I just stay happy bored. How did the fishing trip go in PA? I meant to ask you that.

I usually get in trouble when I start feeling that way. So I just stay happy bored. How did the fishing trip go in PA? I meant to ask you that.

The trip was pretty nice, I didn't go there to fish though, just to vacation and see a little history. Went on a few ghost tours while I was there and that was pretty cool because Gettysburg is supposed to be one of the most haunted places or something like that. Went out during the day and lounged around the hotel in the room or in the hot tub or pool or something. I really miss vacation, all I can do is think about it and want to go back or somewhere else, haha.

Come to NY. You can sit on my back deck and hunt deer. I see them so often I am not even excited any more. Sat at my table and watched a little fox run across my lawn. To cute. Oh and of course I would behave.

I do want to go to NY someday, hopefully soon. I go on vacation once a year so hopefully some year soon. I can't wait to hunt this year, sounds like you have plenty so I might have to come take a few. You would behave? Really?

Gasp!
Of course I would behave. You're the one I would worry about. That's why you just bring your cute little girlie along. Then we would have to behave. Wait, are we flirting again? Your so bad. Bring it baby.

I'm planning on going to Brooklyn in December, got a few friends that live there now, and I've never been to NYC, too many Yankee fans.

You don't want me to bring it. Who says we would have to behave if she was around? Maybe she could join our fun?

Haha, I would like to go anywhere this year besides Ohio, Kentucky or Tennessee.

Ooohhh your dirty, a dirty little mind adam. This is so one of those wrong thread topics.

Did everyone leave? If there is no one here then I really have to work and I don't want to start doing that.

You are procrastinating, sunny.

Tick

You are procrastinating, sunny.

tick

Yes I am and I am perfecting it today. Everyone has to be good at something. But I am an optimistic procrastinator. :p

Is this work you will be doing on your new venture ? I think you may need a
Roundtuit.

Tick

I had to look that up. You're a funny one today. No really that made me laugh.

My new venture is just barely in the works. I did one thing he asked me to get done and sent him an email on the other. Your talking my at home thing right? I don't see at all how this is going to work for either of us. But I am not investing a thing other then time so I don't mind at all. Sadly the time I am investing is while I am here at work. That's the only reason I am attempting it. Too much free time at work. So sad.

Yes, the 'roundtuit'. A friend of mine had one on his wall. It was a piece of wood, polished, and in the middle was printed 'roundtuit'. He was a great procrastinator with a big 'todo' jar from his wife.

Sometimes we forget tiny insignificant silly things that bring a chuckle. This was one of them, right ?

Have a great day, sunny

Hey everyone. So, maybe someone here might know, I have a gym membership and when I joined they left the membership open so I could cancel it at any time. Well now I called to cancel it because I never use it and they are saying I have to pay a $75.00 cancellation fee if I want to cancel. That wasn't in the contract, do I have to pay that?

Well now I called to cancel it because I never use it and they are saying I have to pay a $75.00 cancellation fee if I want to cancel. That wasn't in the contract, do I have to pay that?

Hey Adam, did you read the very small print to be very sure? If it is not there then call them again and tell them that.

I would still read the 'cancellation' part very carefully first before you call them again. There may be something that you missed.

Adam, I had the same thing happen and I told them I was moving so I could waive that fee... LOL

Hey Adam, did you read the very small print to be very sure? If it is not there then call them again and tell them that.

I would still read the 'cancellation' part very carefully first before you call them again. There may be something that you missed.

I have to find the papers that I did sign for the membership. I wanted to check for sure before I called back. If not, I will just pay it and be done with it. I don't go to the gym anymore and I have some equipment at home as well. I don't want them to get angry because the owner is a pretty big guy. Haha

Adam, I had the same thing happen and I told them i was moving so I could waive that fee.....LOL

That is a good idea, haha. I would do that but I already told them I just don't use it enough to pay for it. Then they asked if I knew about the 24 hour access key, and I said yes, but there still isn't time. I thought about cancelling my bank account so they couldn't charge me anymore. Haha

Bear you never amaze me. But I have one problem with this.
"Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female, is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out."

I guess if your staring at mine your all going to drop dead quicker. I am not by any means well endowed. But I do have a super cute butt.

Your butt by comparison is an intense workout ;)

You have to love a job when you get paid less then half your normal wage for the week. Bad enough its cash now because he owes back money for something and he took us off the books, this week I get less then half my pay. I get the rest Monday. We all only got half.

They haven't fill the accounting position yet I interviewed for, please people pray pray pray.

*praying*praying*praying*

Keep thinking positive. Allow your Karma to catch up. Your going to get it. Its just a matter of when.

And yes prayers help too ;)

Thanks guys. I am not a happy camper. I am sure I have the other job it's a matter of when. It's a new position and they are waiting to get this other new girl comfortable before they bring me in. I am getting a bit cranky waiting.

Sunny ,

At least you have something to wait for. Be thankful for that.
There are a few million people who would love to have even a glimmer of hope.
You have the link to the real thing! A job that doesn't involve saying " would you like fries with that?"

I understand how you must feel , I have little patience to wait for most anything. And I start at cranky and plummet fast.

Hang in there.

I agree with 100%. I have no problem waiting for the other job. My problem is working for a living and not getting a living. Especially when I watched the business go down for no reasons other then his own stupidity. I am by no means complaining trust me. I am complaining that he has no respect for us employees because I know where he has spent cash all week and it wasn't back in the business. But all us workers only brought home half our pay or less. I am thankful to get that even since the doors didn't get locked.

Agh... who cares about that. How is everyone else?

Sunny, I am alright:) Thank for asking!
I hope everything works out for you, you are a wonderful funny beautiful smart person. SO, I know it will be OK for you! XXOO

Thanks stranger. Every now and then you pop in at the right time. So positive. I like it.

Ok, one more paper done today. 12 more to go :)

Hello everyone!

Hi unky.
12 more papers to go? Oh boy, wait while I go nap. That tires me just thinking of it.

Lol. All the GP (General Paper, which is English language basically but which involves everything that is around us) papers are done, 3 of the 4 math papers are done and 1 of the 5 chemistry papers done.

We'll have French tomorrow and the second and last paper on Monday. I'm longing for this French to end soon. It's not one of my favourite subjects and the earlier it'd over the better.

I hope that you are all good on your side. When are they planning to take you? Did they mention some approximate time at least?

Your school work load seems so much more then here. It amazes me every time I hear you talk of it. I suppose you don't know any different just like we don't. I can assure you I would look like some dummy if I had to attend class with you.

Your talking about my new job right? I am not sure. I have touched base with the girl doing the hiring twice and its still in process. They are waiting for this other new girl to get comfortable then I come in I guess. I hope its soon. I am afraid I am not getting paid here any more. Seriously. I haven't finished getting my pay from last week and its looking like I am not getting it this week or this weeks pay. What do I do?

It's the 'last sprint' as some of my friends say... some couple of hours, some sheets of paper to test what we've learned for 13 years now... I'll get over it, but I'm not sure for the future.

Aw... that's a horrible situation... yes, I was talking about your job. Still crossing fingers and praying for you :)

Thank you unky.

Ok, one more paper done today. 12 more to go :)

Hello everyone!

You are so good:) Unky you are so responsible, I can't take it... I want you to go outside an-d scream till you have made a fool of yourself! LOL:D
Sunny, just believe in yourself, I believe in you and I am a total stranger:)

I mustn't :eek:

This is the most serious exam I'm taking part and I need to hold on till the 19th. :)

So bored.
Skipping out early today to go to my sons costume parade. He is to cute.
Thank god I don't mind talking to myself.

As 'Fraser' says: "I'm listening..."

Hello there! :)

How are the decorations Stringer? ;)

Blown to h&ll Unky by the wind storms. I will have to redo them today or tomorrow before Sunday (Halloween). First I have to collect them from my neighbors though. :)

Ow... you should have had very strong winds for that :eek:

Ow... you should have had very strong winds for that :eek:

Yes we did, wind gusts up to 60 Miles per hour with heavy rain... I am surprised that nothing actually was broken.

There are people out there. Woo hooo.
Hello Stringer and Unky.
Stringer we also had terrible wind here yesterday. It was quite wild. It blew over my bunny cage and I had to calm my son and manage to catch the bunny and we kept her inside last night. I was so thankful she stayed right on the lawn. Still amazed we even caught her.

Close call Sunny :)

You did a wonderful bunny rescue ;)

Well she was running around having a good time. The neighbors cat was after her from what I heard. But my son grabbed on to her. She was kicking and scratching him and he wouldn't let her go. I was proud of him. She has some power in those back legs. I know the scratches hurt him but he wouldn't let her go until I came over. She is pretty tame but she loves to run. Catching her is a sport in itself.

Good, apparently he saved her, that's good. Alty would appreciate this.

Got to run Marta has a doctor's appointment and I am going with her.

Thanks, nice talking with you and Unky too.

It isn't anything very serious just a procedure but she will not be able to drive after wards for a while.

Later...

Oops, was caught in a puzzle. See you later Stringer! :)

[QUOTE=Unknown008;2584499]Ow... you should have had very strong winds for that :eek:[/QUOTE

A storm came up from the gulf two days ago, supposed to cover all the way the eastern seaboard and middle states to Ontario and then turn west across Canada. Winds were believed to reach 60km/H. We only got a smattering in Ontario off and on for a couple of days, but out to Manitoba, a lot of flooding from lakes and rivers being blown in land.

The blizzard predicted for Tuesday night in eastern Ontario never materialized.

Just so you know where all that wind came from, unk.

Weather has been so bad out in western Canada all summer and fall, our potato crop rotted in the ground. So look for some expensive potatoes soon.

Ouch... yes, I understand... Thank you Tick! :)

Where is everyone? :( Of course, it is early. My internal time clock is still messed up after our honeymoon, but I have to go back to work today so I guess I will have to get back on track.

Anyway, I am home! The wedding was perfect and the honeymoon was wonderful. Now it's time to get back to the real world, but first maybe I'll try and sleep just a little more. :) I'll post a couple of pictures later.

Glad to hear all went well :)

Happy Halloween peeps! :p

Been busy with exams for me JLo. Wednesday will be the 'big' day, the only day we have 3 exam papers in one day and I'll say at school till 4.45 pm, the first time I will stay there until then...

Well, I'm going offline for sometime now. I had a french paper today. It was okay except for my summary... I'm not good at summaries... =S I tend to write more than required...

Hi, Unky. :)

Halloween was yesterday. It went pretty well considering it was Chloe's first and she was a bit excited. New smells and people in strange clothing. Halloween from a pup's perspective must be interesting. :D

Hi Cat and Unky,

Haven't quite gone back to bed yet, so I'll post a pic. :)

Unky, I read how hard you've been working. Good luck. I know you will do well.

Cat, Pete's first Halloween also. Last year, we didn't participate. He barked like crazy, but loved meeting all the people at our front door.

So, this is the dress my aunt designed.

JLo, it's nearly as beautiful as you are.

JLo, it's nearly as beautiful as you are.

Lol.. . I thought you were a dude this whole time, sorry. Regardless, you are gorgeous.

Looks good... both the dress and the woman wearing it. You wear it well.

Thanks, Sunny and Smoothy. I really loved the dress.

Boy, this place has been so quiet. I know Alty was talking about leaving, but I haven't seen Red either... or a lot of other people.

lol. . . I thought you were a dude this whole time, sorry. Regardless, you are gorgeous.

Lol Definitely not a dude.

Jlo, You look amazing as always...

You are quite a beauty.

I hope you had a great time.:)

It's only the dress she showed, you haven't seen the true JLo ;)

Well, glad to see you both M and Starty :)

I'm off to school now. Exam period, 3 exam papers today ending at 4.45 pm... the latest time I'll stay at school...

See you! :)

Good luck Unky.

Jlo, what can I say... beautiful.

M and Start... detention is over :) you can stay here more often now... :):)

Damn

Your stunning JLo ......... 33650

Do you need a Pet Lab :D

M, she has one. :D

Bella, thanks. How are you doing? I hope life is back to normal. Actually, I'm the lucky one. :)

Thanks, Startover.

Friend, Cat is right. I already have a yellow lab. He'd love a friend, though. :D That's what you meant, right?

Unky, not sure how you mean that - that is the "true Jlo". I just look more sophisticated there than usual. :p Here's one from the honeymoon... you might recognize this better. Notice the tasty adult beverage in the background. There was enough of that!

I'm still trying to get John to say okay to having his picture posted. I guess he's being shy. Too bad - he's so handsome. :)

Okay, time to get my mind back on work. It's been difficult these first couple of days.

I don't quite like much make up. I find natural beauty to be more striking ;)

Thanks, Startover.


You are difinitely a beautiful woman! XXOO

Stringer, you put me in detention? And then you let me out? What did I miss all this time? HMPH! UNKY: GOOD LUCK TODAY!
Thanks, Stringer.

Well, it's over now Starty, but I'm sure the luck will come when my work will be corrected ;)

I know after the exam that I made some mistake in my chemistry... :(

I may be exaggerating a little, but I think I already lost 8 marks in all in my chemistry papers... well, I'll have to make sure I don't lose any more in the upcoming 2 chemistry papers which will be on Monday and on the 19th.

I hope I did my math well. Up to now, I didn't spot any mistake I left behind... crossing fingers XD

Thanks, Startover.

Bella, thanks. How are you doing? I hope life is back to normal. Actually, I'm the lucky one. :)

Thanks, Startover.

Friend, Cat is right. I already have a yellow lab. He'd love a friend, though. :D That's what you meant, right?

Unky, not sure how you mean that - that is the "true Jlo". I just look more sophisticated there than usual. :p Here's one from the honeymoon ... you might recognize this better. Notice the tasty adult beverage in the background. There was enough of that!

Thanks, Stringer.

I'm still trying to get John to say okay to having his picture posted. I guess he's being shy. Too bad - he's so handsome. :)

Okay, time to get my mind back on work. It's been difficult these first couple of days.

JLO! You are gorgeous! Totally beautiful! Glad you had a great time! Things are getting back to normal, I am feeling more like myself. I have no new news to report, but as soon as I do, I will make sure to let you know!

Glad to see you back! I look forward to seeing more pics! :D

JLo, you are a gorgeous bride, a gorgeous woman, and even better, you have a gorgeous soul. I'm so very happy for you.

I'm so glad you're back. Missed you sweetie.

Now, more pictures please. :)

Good morning.

Its Friday! Yee haw.

Oh as if you all have lives. Seriously! :)

Guess what? Let me just entertain myself with this. I have the keys to my new place. One step closer to being official. The last check has been cut and now its just the closing. Who am I kidding we have been living here a month. But at least now its getting closer to being mine. Its been forever!

Ok ghost town. Have a great night!

Good luck with your closing. If you have never bought a house before or haven't in awhile the rules have changed. And be prepared for writers cramp :)

There is life out there!

I have had a mortgage before. Thanks for the reminder. What a headache at times. The closing was set for Wednesday morning but something came up with the insurance. The lawyer was telling me I only had builders risk and I was telling her I had it all covered. We also had our home owners in place. (pat on my back) I was right!

I do have a life now. :D I would have come out to play if I had known you were here, though. My work is starting to gear up for all the fiscal year ends. Not too long before I start putting in 60, 70, and more hours a week.

Hope you have a bottle of champagne chilling. :)

Hey girl!
I was ready to celebrate Wednesday night. But that's OK. It will all come in time.
Crazy girl you don't go getting married and then get all busy at work. What are you thinking. They must make you part time with a pay increase. That's a demand.

Crazy girl you dont go getting married and then get all busy at work. What are you thinking. They must make you part time with a pay increase. Thats a demand.

They pay us well. It's all factored in, plus I get 7 weeks of vacation a year. We just have to take it between May and November when things aren't so busy. I like the challenge. John is a hard worker and spends long hours at work, so it all works out. You know - work hard, play hard... ummm, oops - mind's going in the gutter. :p

Well, it's been a long wait for you. I hope you really enjoy the house and the celebrating. I have to run and make dinner now. I'll peek in tomorrow and see if you want to play.

Have a good one JLo.
I will be around just say boo.
Keep that mind out of the gutter or in the gutter...

Good morning!

Who is out in this ghost town?

Good morning!

Who is out in this ghost town?

I am, I am! I've been waiting for you. ;)

Me too. :)

Just checking here and there.

How funny I was peaking in for you.
How are things today?
I am super nervous. I interviewed for this job a few weeks or longer ago. I just talked with him on the phone I am going on my lunch hour to talk about my hours and what the job exactly is. What I was called to interview for and what I was offered aren't the same job. I am happy for that. This is an actual accounting position which is what I went to school for and what I was "supposed" to be doing here.

Me too. :)

That's great. I have read your other posts about the job and have been hoping to hear it went well. Well, if you ever have any questions about Accounting you can run them by me. I don't think I realized you went to school for Accounting. Kindred souls...

Today is our one month anniversary of being married already. It has flown by. I'm going to plan something "special" for tonight.

Hi Unky. How'd the big test go?

JLo one month already. Gosh it just doesn't seem it. Time flies.

Yep I have a business degree I got out of high school. But after working several years in a bank I realized numbers were my thing. I quit and went back to school for accounting. I was going to continue for a financial service degree and from there not sure. But I was pregnant and I didn't know if I would be able to continue on with a baby. I finished with my 2 year in accounting. Went back in banking and now doing the books where I am now.

Count me, I'm here also.

Good luck Sunny.

JLO-- a month already? Wow.

Hey Unky!

Hey Stringer. Thank you.
Working out the details makes me more nervous then the interview did.

Now where is Adam. He is around this time of day.
Bear?
Come on people get off your arses.

Sunny and Stringer - I know, it's hard to believe. We married on Oct. 9, but then we were on our honeymoon for almost 3 weeks.

I haven't seen Adam for a while now.

Okay - time for me to drive to work. One of my last days to start work at 9 a.m, as pretty soon I'll be getting there at 7 a.m.

Almost noon here.
Have a good day at work.

10:40 AM here...

Great feeling isn't it JLO. :)

OK I am out the door myself now. I will be back shortly. I am so so so so nervous. Did I say I was nervous? When I am nervous it makes me pee. I am sure you didn't want to hear that.

OK be back.

OK be back.

You will do just fine.

Hi Stringer!

I was away for a while...

The big test... not that great. I had something that I needed to recall, that is:

P_i = P_o

Which becomes:

I_iV_i = I_oV_o

but I didn't think that way and was stumped. I skipped this part, but before I could come back, time was up... it was worth 3 marks...

And one last thing I did wrong is the definition of acoustic impedance, where I should have quoted the formula directly instead of looking for a definition I wasn't sure >.< (worth 1 mark)

Z = \rho v

And that to the fact that I didn't have time to review all my work...

Tomorrow is big chemistry. I hope I'll not do it as bad that this one.

Loss of marks are dangerous!!

Unky I have this thing that numbers and letters should not share the same math equation. Simple as that.

I got a job. I had the job. I am a nervous wreck. I named my price, my hours and my start date. Wow. Awesome. To excited. To nervous and giddy!

Lol. This was physics and letters are always mixed up... this was about a transformer... but I think that this is nothing compared to what you are going through. Good job! ;)

Unky you are by far the smartest person I know. You are going to go so far in life. I know you must hear that a lot. But its true.

How is the rest of your family doing? Mom?

Sunny - I'm so excited for you! You really deserve this. When do you start?


Unky - Wishing you luck on the Chemistry exam!

Right now, she's playing the guitar and singing... and it's good but there are some wrong tones here and there which makes the song funny :p

Little sister has got holidays... lucky her. She's laying in bed right now.

Thanks JLo!

Unky she is playing the guitar and singing? To cute. I like to try and play the drums. But its quite dreadful as you can imagine. In my head its all good.

JLo I start when I want to start. Basically the conversation went with him describing what he expected of me. Then he asked what I expected for pay. I said it and he went for it with no issue at all. Then he said he respected I worked for a local business man and if I wanted to give notice that was fine. He said if I wanted to stay here part time until my spot here was filled I could work there part time. But its full time when I am ready. Its almost to perfect. On top of the financial statements and things along that line I will also do payroll. I am hoping to start Monday on a part time basis but I have to talk to my boss here first.

Lol, yes...

And I can't wait for the 19th, the end of the exams! XD

Well, from the sounds of things, you don't owe your boss a lot. I understand not wanting to leave him in the lurch, but don't bend over backwards trying to help him either. The new job sounds great, just what you were looking for, and for a decent boss.

Its everything I was looking for. It fell right in to my lap. I didn't even go looking for it.
New job, new house and repaired marriage. Life is good. Finally. Work hard and results happen.

I hear you. I'm so glad everything is getting better for you. Now it's time to enjoy all of your hard work, and you'll just appreciate everything so much more.

I agree.
Now about this honeymoon? How was it? I am sure it was beautiful. Three weeks? Lucky girl.

It was great. :D We both love to travel. We decided to do the small, intimate wedding... and splurged on our honeymoon. We went on a one week Mediterranean cruise and spent 10 days in Italy. I don't look it but I'm part Italian, and so is John. My grandmother on my dad's side was born there and lived there until she was 6. She was a big influence on me until she passed away when I was 16. I love Italy.

Lol, yes...

And I can't wait for the 19th, the end of the exams! XD

Then what? Are you in school now? Are you applying for universities, or do you have to wait for your scores first?

I'm sure everybody enjoyed it! :) It sounds like you found some way to spend a couple of weeks in heaven ;)

Okay, I'm off to bed now. Must be fresh for tomorrow. See you later peeps! :)

Then what? Are you in school now? Are you applying for universities, or do you have to wait for your scores first?

Yes, I'll be applying to universities. Though it's still a dilemma as to what I'll do later on...

Yes, I'll be applying to universities. Though it's still a dilemma as to what I'll do later on...

Do you mean as a major or for work? If it's anything like it is here, you don't have to decide either right away. I actually started as an Engineering major, but switched majors after the first year. I still graduated in 4 years with a double major and a minor.

Well... both :o

Ok, nighty night now ;)

Well... both :o

Ok, nighty night now ;)

Good night. :)

Good night unky.


Italy? I would love to see Italy. I would love to see a fashion show in Milan. I would love to see so many things. That's great. Isn't being a bride the best thing? I was the happiest bride ever on my day. It felt perfect.

Good night unky.

I loved the whole experience - from planning the wedding, to the wedding day, to the honeymoon, and now being a wife. I just feel so fortunate to have found the right man at the right time. I'm getting all mushy, now. :o

So for our one month celebration tonight, I decided to make crab for dinner. He's going to pick up a nice bottle of wine. I'm still thinking on what type of sinful dessert to serve.

I felt the same way. I was never stressed and if I was I loved it. I wish I would have made it bigger. I did it all mostly myself and was in heaven the entire time.

Sinful dessert? (blushing)


GREAT!!! I told you that you would be fine...nice job in getting the job... :)

Aww... thank you stringer.

Welcome Sunny...

JLO, I wish for you the same happiness that Marta and I have. It is simply wonderful and I still feel like I did when I first looked into those large, deep, dark, mysterious and beautiful eyes of hers. Work to stay happy...

I agree Stringer. Work to stay happy. Life isn't perfect every day and that's the way it is. Give and take. But with work every effort in the end is worth it.

Sinful dessert? (blushing)



Haha, that's not what I meant, but now that you mention it...

Thanks. I always admire the way both you and Cats talk about your wives. I hope we'll always feel that way, as well. It's hard to imagine we won't. We are so much alike it our upbringings, goals, beliefs, and even in just the day to day stuff and the fun stuff.

It is a fallacy to say that opposites attract JLO... think about it for a moment. The more that you have in common the more you love AND LIKE each other, there is a difference.

I know parts of Italy as well as I do my home town. Years of living and working there and years of visiting. I've made that round trip flight about 25 times (forget exact number) lived there for 6 years and spend a lot of time there almost every year.

Know it well enough I know the seedy underbelly most tourists never know or see. Have friends I still converse with I've known for 25 years there. Have in-laws there and even keep a vehicle registered there in my name for the last 20 years

Got to agree with that... I have thoughts of actually strangling my opposites... not getting intimate with them.

Well now that's just bragging. Lucky dog! That's very very cool.

Well, I guess some of us had to learn the hard way, but I finally got it right. :)

You do know Italy. I've been twice now. I went there for 3 weeks when I graduated with my Bachelor's and now this 10 day trip. I've been through most of Italy except the southern part (went maybe 20 miles down the Amalfi coast and besides that Sorrento was as far south as I got). I also haven't been to Sicily, but I think I'd like to go there someday.

We got our first snowfall! It's so beautiful outside. :) Of course, now I have to leave early to get to work on time, though.

Hey girl. Lucky. I can't wait for the first. It has snowed here but its just been little dustings. I would love a huge snow storm. Crazy I know.

We've had a few spronkles of snow. But we have had over 250mm of rain in the past 6 days. Lots of wind, hail, sleet. I love living in the Maritimes :D But I guess it is hurricane season here in Nova Scotia.

I like snow right up until January, then I am done. Too darn cold!

We have water shortage here :(

Did I mention that I had to have cold showers for nearly a week now?

I don't know what happened exactly, but hot water was no more flowing down the pipes from the solar heater. Fortunately, yesterday, hot water ran once again through the pipes.

Whether the pipe was blocked or there was not enough water pressure to push the water up the tank and down to the bathroom, I don't know...

Anyway, today's exam went on way better than Monday's. I'm relieved. :)

Stressing.

Talking with the boss about leaving for the new job. Not going well. Bad enough I am typing.

It IS crazy, yesterday it was 70 degrees and today 68 with bright sunshine.

Seems like there are some people online today. Hi everyone!

Yep, cold showers... it was a long time since I entered cold water >.<

Talking with the boss about leaving for the new job. Not going well. Bad enough I am typing.

What did he expect? He couldn't even pay you regularly, and he was putting you in the uncomfortable position of lying for him. Well, hopefully the talk is over now so you can just relax a little and think about your nice new job.

It IS crazy, yesterday it was 70 degrees and today 68 with bright sunshine.

Holy moly Stringer.
We haven't seen that in over a month or longer. Its been sunny but not with temps like that.

Yeah I know, two years ago the high was around +14. The next two days are to be in the mid 60's with some light rain.

It was 76 here 2 days ago also. That's the way our weather is. We'll have a bright, sunny, warm day followed 2 days later by snow. I remember last year we were in the 90's one week and snowing the next.

Anyway, the ski resorts are getting lots of snow. Yea!

I agree with you.
He doesn't see it that way though.
Oh well. Not my problem. I worked it out to be part time here until he replaced me. But he has two weeks to do that or else the doors will be locked every day. That's how I worked it out with the new job. He wanted me ASAP but didn't want to screw another local business taking me away.

I forget JLO what state do you live in?

I live in Northern Nevada, the foothills of Reno. I'm only 15 minutes to the nearest ski resort and less than an hour to the premier Lake Tahoe ski resorts.

I agree with you.
I am now going to be part time here for a couple weeks. If he doesn't replace me by then so be it. His store will be closed. That's how I worked it with the new place. He didn't want me to leave without notice here so we talked and came up with this idea of part time. The new job thought of it mainly.

OK stress level raised because I am sure I will have two weeks of h$ll now but it will be over soon enough.

Now to the gym. I will be back. Later guys. Thanks for always listening to my ranting.

I live in Northern Nevada, the foothills of Reno. I'm only 15 minutes to the nearest ski resort and less than an hour to the premier Lake Tahoe ski resorts.

I see, our road trip took us to New Mexico, Texas, Arizona and Utah this past summer, very, very nice and hot.

He's being selfish. I'm glad you stuck to your guns. Two weeks - that will be Thanksgiving. You'll have a lot to be thankful for this year. :)

I have to fly to Denver for a couple of days right before Thanksgiving, and then we are going to Michigan for Thanksgiving. John's other grandparents live there and were not able to make the wedding for health reasons, so we are going to visit. It will be the first time I've met them.

Arizona is a beautiful state but so hot. Did you go to Bryce Canyon in Utah? It's one of my favorite places.

That is nice, nothing like going to family for Thanksgiving. I'm sure that they will love ya.

I'm going to make sure of that. I love to cook, so I'm making the dinner and baking pies. I'm known for my pies, especially.

No, we only had three days there. We were in Moab, did the dinner and night river tour with all the lights and of course like all the other places... shopping. :)

Have a good work out at the gym Sunny! :)

Have a good work out at the gym Sunny! :)

Thank you unky. It was a great work out today.

JLo tell me you make apple and pumpkin pies and I am there with you. Yummy. First pie I ever made was out of an Elvis cook book (giggling) and it turned out awesome. Made the crust from scratch even.

I make any kind of pie someone asks for. :) For some reason, I have a hard time with lemon meringue, though. I wonder if it's my high altitude (5200 feet). I think I'll go Google that question. Can you tell - I'm not in the mood to work. :o

Work? I just show up. Lol So sad. I can't wait to have a real job again. I have been so bored here. I can't wait to be busy and pulling my hair out. That's how I work best.

I am not a good baker. But I can cook a mean turkey or steak or any meal really. Not baking.

What makes the turkey mean? Do you torture it first?

Okay, lame joke.



I read a tip about cooking turkey a few years back. It works quite well. Start by baking the turkey breast side down so all the juices are flowing through the breast. Don't turn it over until the last hour of baking. The white meat comes out so moist.

Lol good one from Jlo.

I don't know but its always been so moist and tasty. I cover it with all kinds of spices. I have no idea what and its always different. I put a stick of butter in the inside, no dressing. When it starts cooking really good and smelling good I slice each side of the breast and put chunks of butter in the slits down deep. The entire time I do that I am always spooning the melted butter and juices over the top. Must work because I have always had the best turkey. I love cooking them.

It's making me hungry. I don't use butter, but I rub olive oil over mine before putting it in the oven.

Never been to Sicily yet... depending on how we time the trip we have a place to stay outside Palermo. Good friends of ours are from there and own a property there. I've only been much south of Rome twice. I know the Tuscany Region very well. Parts of that VERY, very well. But I've been all over much of the northern half. Sienna a few times... Firenze (Florence) a LOT. Have a Doctor friend with a Practice there. I know the Massa-Carrera and Pisa area VERY well (famous for marble).. and the coast from there down to Grosseto like the back of my hand. Because... like I said... I used to live and work there. Had lots of time to learn the area.

Good afternoon or whatever it is wherever you are.

So, it has been some pretty interesting days here at the landfill where I work. Supposedly, there is a body buried in the trash. They are on day 2 of the search. I have never seen so many cops, and forensic people, and news stations. I am hoping for everyone's sake they find the body soon.

Wow Adam, hi, I haven't hears anything on the news as yet about it. Are you able to work while they are there?

Ugh... a corpse >.<

I'm hoping that either they find it quick, or there is actually no body.

Yea, it is crazy. Pretty sick man. I will post a link so you can check out the story. I am still working while they are doing everything. They had me on guard duty yesterday and Tuesday to direct the media and keep certain people out.

Here is the story:

Got to hand it to the forensic types... takes a special person to deal with dead bodies like that with any regularity. I'm not one of those. There are certain smells I just can't deal with, no way no how.

This one will have to be a bad smell. It has been buried with trash for almost 2 weeks if that says anything. One of the detectives here has some experience with it. He says this is his 42nd murder investigation. That s 42 to many for me.

Luckily, I've not had to deal with a dead body that's gotten to that stage... Heck... just a waft of puke sends me into the dry heaves or worse.

Yea, sometimes I have a strong stomach, sometimes it is very weak. I actually want to be a cop though is the thing but it will never happen so oh well.

Certain smells don't bother me a huge amount... others I am hypersensitive to. Puke is one... rotting animal carcasses is pretty unpleasant too... can't say if that is different than a rotting corpse, or how if you aren't aware of what it is.


And I'd rather not find out before my time is up on this earth.

Just got back from the Remembrance Day parade. What a gorgeous day, sunny, crisp, and +8c. My daughter went up and placed a wreath up for my grandfather and got her picture taken. It was great!

How's every one else's days going?

Have to work today... its a Federal Holiday, (Veterans Day for us) but I'm not a Federal employee.

:) I have to work everyday Smooth...

Sounds like a very beautiful day Bella glad that you enjoyed it with your daughter hon.

Have to work today.....its a Federal Holiday, (Veterans Day for us) but I'm not a Federal employee.

It is veterans day for us to, but we call it Remembrance Day. Years ago everything, including streecars, people on the street stopped on the 11 hour of the 11 day. Now young people don't know what it means. We wear red poppies to remind everyone. It is a wonderful tradition. My son, now 29 but ever since I can remember always wanted a poppy for this time of year.

It sounds like you had a wondeful morning AB. You should be so proud your daughter is growing up remembering too.

Tick

Bella that sounds like a great day for you. I am happy for you to have had that time with your daughter.

Adam, that's one sick story. I read it. No way could I even be working there through that. Death or being near it freaks me out. Seriously. I would be in hysterics. I give you much credit my friend.

Thanks guys it was a great day :)

I actually think there are more and more young people aware of Remembrance Day now than ever. I was shocked to see the amount of tween and teens that showed up to show their support. And very respectful through out the entire ceremony. I think so many of us have lost loved ones with this war in Afghanistan and Iraq that Remembrance Day isn't only about remembering our WW2 Vets, it's about remembering the young and the brave who we have been losing unjustly for too long now.

It's terrible but, when I was a young girl in school, we always had school, businesses weren't shut down, every one went about their day, did their 2 minutes of silence at 11, and went on.

Now the whole town was closed down, school was out, stores and malls were closed. I think (personally) to have lost someone during war, and to have to work on the day you are supposed to remember them, is kind of like a slap in the face.

At any rate, I was very pleased to see the amount of people who came out to show support. My father was the parade marshal, he is with the Legion here so he was quite proud of himself, as were we :)

I think a big thing here in the USA is that Memorial day carries a greater significance... as it is dedicated to the fallen soldiers... while Veterans day (remeberance day to the rest of the world) is geared more to the living Veterans than to the fallen (but really covers both).

We do pay respects to our living, but it's a day of remembrance for those who have fallen for the freedom of Canada.

Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a silent moment of remembrance for the men and women who have served, and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict and peace. We honour those who fought for Canada in the First World War (1914-1918), the Second World War (1939-1945), and the Korean War (1950-1953), as well as those who have served since then. More than 1,500,000 Canadians have served our country in this way, and more than 100,000 have died. They gave their lives and their futures so that we may live in peace.

A Day of Remembrance - Veterans Affairs Canada (http://www.vac-acc.gc.ca/remembers/sub.cfm?source=history/other/remember/r_intro)



Remembrance Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_Day)

I don't think the American Memorial Day has anymore significance than Canadian Remembrance Day. They are both equally important days.

Remembrance Day,

Is about remembering all the sacrifices that were made for all of us.

Remembering all who have died for our freedoms. Remembering all the wars. Remembering all the men and women who have died for our Country.

Through out all the wars that were fought including all the recent lives lost in the war. Also remembering all those that were effected from the wars. Remembering the veterans and also remembering all those that are there to this day.

To say that one is more significance then the other is ignorant.

Strangely, I didn't know that Mauritius had that too... It's only today when I went to school that I 'learned' why people were putting up metal bars and 'tents' up, that was for this day. Actually, they are making it this Sunday. I learned that it was because Mauritius was under the control of the British at that time and that the island was hence in a way involved in the war...

Hello everyone. Day 4 of the search and still nothing. They pretty much had to start over and it is really day 1 all over again all because of some idiot but it's sad because of the time lost that could have been looking for him. Now they said if they don't find him by tomorrow evening the search ends. So sad, I think for the family they should at least keep looking to bring some comfort to them. If not, well the family is stuck knowing that their son is buried in a landfill with trash. So, hopefully they have some luck today or tomorrow.

Adam you're a very strong person to have to sit and watch all that. Truly.

Good Morning Everyone. How are we today? I just hit 60 hours at work this week and I still have until 5:30 to go. I hope taxes don't eat the hell out of this check.

Hello folks, how's everyone doing? I'm racking my brain on what to make for my dinner party tonight! I know, this should have been decided before I invited people. I'm thinking chicken Alfredo calzone's with Caesar salad. Home made dressing and croûtons, bacon bits of course.

Any other ideas? It's a total of 8 (including me) people coming. Doesn't have be too fancy, we kind of take turns and once a month we all get together at someone's house and have dinner, drinks and play cards.

Adam, how's things going at work? I just re read and saw what was happening. So was this a close friend of yours? I'm so sorry for the family and friends in mourning.

Bella good luck with the dinner. I am not good at things like that. I don't do those things. Usually our get togethers are more snack stuff. Or delivery. I am not the best cook so I avoid it when I can.

I start the new job on the 29th. I can't wait! My boss now asked me what I was going to be making there. I didn't want to tell him but I did. Sort of as a slap in the face and it worked. I am leaving for less money. He commented on it. Like how dare I leave for less pay. I commented back everything the job entails is worth more then staying with him. I named my price and got it. Why wouldn't I be happy? I can't wait to start.

Congrats on the new job sunny! I know how much you hate your current boss. I'm happy for you! Celebration margarita's at your house? :D

I ended up making the calzones, they turned out awesome. I found a recipe for Pizza Hut dough. I don't know of it was exactly like pizza hut's dough, but it was goooood. :)

I went into the local grocery store yesterday, and was bombarded with laughing plastic red faced Santa's, jingle bells was being played over the speakers, and I am sure I had an epileptic seizure from all the flashing lights being displayed in the aisles. Wow, Christmas is here eh? I guess I better haul out the old decorations. At least they waited until AFTER Remembrance Day this year. :rolleyes:

Put it in the bank... they way things are you might need it in the near future. Better safe than sorry.

Firm believer in not burning bridges... been there done that... came back to haunt me in the future. Even a nicely worded lie can be better than the unadulterated truth. YOu never know if you might have to come crawling baci at some point in the future... or that your resume might cross his desk at some point.

But congratulations. Hopefully the job turns out to be everything you hope it will be.

Smoothy thank you. I agree with you totally. But I am 200% sure I will never work for this boss again. Ever. I have never burned a bridge and have been asked to return to 2 places I have worked at. Usually when I make the choice to leave its for a good valid reason. I have several reasons to leave here. If anything here comes back to haunt me it will be on a more personal lever then professional.

From what you have said about the way the ex-boss does business, I am not sure there would be a job to go back to. I think you are getting out of there just before the final meltdown. :(

I am so glad that you got the new job and hope it is everything you want it to be. :)

Your on the same page as everyone here. Thank you. I don't give it another full year to be honest.

How are you? We haven't crossed paths much lately.

Well the one time I burned bridges... and it was a monumental fire.. (ever see a multipage letter of resignation? And I'm talking more than 3 pages, naming names and incidents?).. I tried to apply there again between jobs during a down economy... and the embers from a decade earlier were still hot... I know because I talked with a couple people I knew that still worked there after I applied and heard nothing back.

And while what I did had nothing to do with the company as a whole... it was directed at a single manager that was a total incompetent boob... I had to quit to get away from him, he actually prevented a number oif attempts I made to transfer to different departments, and I will stand behind that all the way to my grave.

Now that is burning a bridge. What came of the letter did you ever hear? I am on good terms here. Its mostly personal I need to leave. Plus the business is going down. It was a struggle getting paid for a few weeks here. If I ever chose to go back to a job I left it would be banking. Banks were my thing. But I realized its not too much the bank but the numbers. I am good and them and like doing that kind of work. One reason I am so excited for the new place.

Didn't have friends in Human resources there... but they likely made a poster out of it for all I know.

But seriously... my resume did make it past human resources and actually did make it to the department heads of several groups I could have worked for... it was nixed by a manager or two that might still have been there, I know I did make it as far as consideration. But they didn't know who it was that killed it at that point, just that apparently crap hit the fan after I walked out as a result. I was well known there, and for the most part well liked. Won't go into details (not on the internet)... so lets say... my leaving when I did, caused them a big hardship... (I know this from friends who stayed behind).

Good morning!
Been sick all week. What's up with that? Gah make it go away.

Yeah, that definitely sucks... hope you get over it soon.

Morning Sunny! Get well soon! :)

Rant of today: Another newbie sending a reddie to me... (and I don't think the reason was valid, nor the answer that the latter proposed). Fortunately, I got 4 more greenies today too :p

Oh those newbies what do they know. Good job on the greenies. If they knew you like we do it never would have happened. How dare they! ;)

I don't know if I have the energy today to look in the threads. So sad.

I got a reddie he other day for telling an OP if they had un protected sex, then she could be pregnant. Jeesh!

Hope you feel better soon Sunny! I'm spending the day in bed today. Good day for it, it's cold and rainy today. I'm not feeling so well either. I think I have another sinus infection.

Ah to funny, to funny. Guess you should have said to run out and have a good time. Protection? Don't be silly! What's wrong with people.

The weather is the same way here. I have my heat here at the store on 80 and I have an electric heater on at my feet. I think I am still cold.

Guess what I have to do now if I want to be near the bunny we got? I am so allergic to her I had to use my hubby's inhaler the other night. It was that bad! I had an appointment yesterday for my migraines and told the doctor so he wrote me a prescription for my own inhaler. Most people would think get rid of the rabbit. I say puff puff, come cuddle little bunny! Lol My cats don't bother me as much as the rabbit. I get near the rabbit and bang, I am gasping for every breath I take. Bronchial spasms, I think that's what he called it.

Aww! A bunny!

I hope it isn't the main cause of your sickness Sunny :(

Ah to funny, to funny. Guess you should have said to run out and have a good time. Protection? Dont be silly! Whats wrong with people.



Duh... Aren't that what morning after pills and abortion clinics are intended for? Shirking any form of responsible behavior in the first place?


Makes you wonder if Chastity belts should be installed at the factory... and removed only after they pass a test and are legal age... BOTH.

Hi Everyone. I've been busy lately on the Accounting boards. Such fun... I've gotten a couple of reddies because I wouldn't do their homework. One actually wrote "This is not telling me the answer." I answered "Of course it isn't" - and then she got a little lecture on why I wouldn't do her homework. Even funnier, she had posted at least 6 questions. CurlyBen merged them all, and her thread became a complete mess. I had to laugh. She got no help at all. Anyway, Unky - I'll go check out your reddie since you balanced one for me. :)

Sunny - I'm not surprised you got sick. There was a lot of stress and emotional upheaval for you in the last week or so between getting the new job and telling your old boss. Hope you feel better soon.

I don't even want to think about the pregnancy questions. I just don't understand these people. Do they think or plan ahead at all?!

Haha good one smoothy! Lets encourage that. But only if your 16. Maybe 18. He will love you and the baby. He will stand by you and you will have a house with a white picket fence.

Hey JLo. Yes your maybe right. I have been trying to change things around with appointments and stuff to get it all in before I start the new job. I don't care about taking time off here. I don't want to do that as a new employee. I just talked with our lawyer this morning about getting the darn closing done for this house. Driving me nuts!

Aww guys. It wasn't really necessary, but if it can make you happy :)

Woohoo! Exams ended today! :p

Yay Unky! How do you think you did?
I ventured out on those accounting threads when I first started, but it wasn't my cup of tea!

Hope your feeling better today Sunny.

Well, I hope I'll get good marks. I realised I left mistakes here and there and I really hope that they will be small enough. But hey, what is done is done, there's no much use lamenting on this now. Time to look forward and avoid such mistakes in the future! :)

Exactly... thats all the rest of us can do as well. The secret to success is learning from your mistakes and not repeat them.

Hey Smoothy, thanks for the balancer, even if the one who gave me the reddie is not the OP, if I understood your greenie.

Either that, or I'm too tired to understand what you meant XD

Yeah... it was meant to balance the incorrectly given reddie.

Lot of my reddies (at least the more recent ones) are from idiots with few if any posts. Saw your comment... found the reddie and since nobody else balanced it yet I did it for you. Couldn't say anything witty because I've never taken a statistics course. Wasn't part of the Electronic Engineering program I took.

It's okay :)

Most of them don't want to hear the answer they should hear and they are not happy with that and don't face it... -.-
