I love the castle but it needs a complete overhaul so we're moving out for the time being.

I decided to give you all a taste of Canada, so pack your bags, the tickets have been bought, get your arses over here. :)

We're doing it Canadian style. Not my neck of the woods, but the true Canada, the one that all you Americans think we live in. ;)

There are Igloos for everyone, some are equipped to handle a large group so choose your partner and snuggle up.

Don't eat the penguins, they're friendly. The polar bears won't come near the site if you make lots of noise, so hoot and holler.

We're not going to hunt the seals, they're too cute, so I built a restaurant out of ice that will serve us all our dietary needs.

There are parkas, scarves, mittens, hats, snow pants, long underwear and boots that are good for up to -30C. Let's hope we don't get to that temp, otherwise we'll all be cuddling. Wait... is that a bad thing? ;)

We're going to have a blast. Just make sure to bundle up.

I like it very much Alty! :)

Makes me think of Sneezy :p

Nice one, really! :)

I like it very much Alty! :)

Makes me think if Sneezy :p

NIce one, really! :)

I'm glad you like it Unky.

Now, before you go to bed make sure that you're bundled up. ;)

Actually, Igloos are very warm inside, even though they're made of snow, which is cold, they really do keep the heat. I've only been in one that we made, which wasn't built to code, but it was really nice and warm. Heck, we even had to take off our coats because we were getting too hot.

The hole in the top is a smoke hole, because you can build a fire inside. No worries, it won't melt. I had a professional build these babies. :)

Great! I don't even need that air conditioner! :D

Wait, we're in Canada and it isn't as hot as in Mauritius... Oops :o

I made a little typo over there, editing now.

Where is my maple syrup?

Lol

Hockey anyone? Maybe some curling...

Sure, just watch out for the polar bears on the ice. ;)

No polar bear bowling allowed?

Not unless you want to get eaten. :eek:

No, I don't want to get eaten. I just want to be not bored. And to go eat. The second is easier to accomplish since the library is closing in about 3.79864 minutes.

There is an ice restaurant. I'll meet you at the bar, we'll have nachos and beer. :)

Do I have to watch out for caribou stampedes? We had a woman in a town near here who was trampled by a herd of deer. Downtown.

The deer here are reindeer, we're looking after them for Santa, so they'll be here for a few weeks.

OMG! Christmas is in a few weeks! :eek:

I'm sure the closer it gets to christmas more and more people start to look like father christmas, hmmmm :(

I want my own Igloo... painted red.

im sure the closer it gets to christmas more and more people start to look like father christmas, hmmmm :(

And it's really looking like Christmas at my house right now, at least outside.

Snow blizzard yesterday, 6 foot snow drifts today. The kids are loving it, I am not.

In around 1 hour I'm going outside to shovel snow. :(

I want my own Igloo....painted red.

You got it baby. Your wish is my command. :)

FYI, this is what pops up when you Google red igloo;

Well that sucks, couldn't you just get the kids to start a snowball fight with the neighbours across the road, I'm sure all you snow would go eventually :D

well that sucks, couldnt you just get the kids to start a snowball fight with the neighbours across the road, im sure all you snow would go eventually :D

It's too cold for snowball fights. :(

The snow only sticks together when it's above -5 C. If it's colder then that then the snow won't stick together. No snowmen, no igloo's, no snowball fights, just shoveling.

Wait, isn't that why I had kids, so I wouldn't have to shovel snow or mow the lawn?

JARED!! SYDNEY!! Get your snow gear on and grab a shovel! :D :cool:

BEaaaar... I think that you just made two new friends...

BEaaaar.....I think that you just made two new friends....

LOL! Jared and Sydney?

Sydney got her gear on and started to shovel. She came in 5 minutes later with rosy cheeks, wet mittens and soaking wet socks.

I asked her what happened. Her response;

"Um, well, there was a pile of snow, it was really tall, I wanted to see if it was taller then me so I jumped in. It was taller then me."

So I asked if she shoveled any snow. Her response;

"I was going to but I couldn't get out of the pile I jumped in to. When I finally got out I was cold and wet so I came in. Can't Jared do it, or Daddy, or you? I'm little".

It's really hard to argue with an adorable 7 year old with rosy red cheeks and wet socks.

I made her hot chocolate with little marshmellows on top.

I'm a bad mom. :(

'I wanted to see if it was taller then me so I jumped in. It was taller then me.'

The thing is, it's true. I looked outside, saw the hole, the little hand prints from Sydney digging herself out.

I laughed myself silly. :D

Damn. It is, isn't it.

That little stinker, she got out of shoveling! :(

My own fault. She is a mini me after all, I should have seen this coming. ;)

I bet you would have done the same if it had been the other way around :D

i bet you would have done the same if it had been the other way around :D

No question. You bet I would.

I remember being a kid. Oh the things I did to get out of working. Sigh.

Darn kid, she takes after me. ;)

Oh well. :)

Awesome Idea, and great start.

We need all the warm we can get. Considering it is going to dip to -30 tomorrow night.

Yes, spell of cold, wintry blizzards have hit but within another week we should be in the warm Chinook weather again.

Oh well :)

So Alty apart from being one shoveler down how you doing

Joe, why do we live in Alberta again? I ask myself that every year.

I was close to convincing hubby to move to Hawaii. We could live on the beach, the kids could collect coconuts and I'd make grass skirts and coconut bras to sell to the tourist. Life would be simple, and warm. ;)

Alty in a grass skirt and coconut bra :rolleyes:

Lol, Used to all the winter. Seems does not matter where I live in Canada. East Coast, Central Canada or Alberta. We can swallow a good snowstorm. As long as I am not driving in it, I love it. Yes, very much colder then Ontario, very much windier but still loving it all the same. I am predicting summer whether on Christmas day, hope it is not just for Toronto but for us here. Would be awesome. Lol

I am a strange Canadian. I would prefer the cold and mild temps to the hot hot weather in the south.

Are those coconuts or something else?

Stop looking at my coconuts you silly boys! ;)

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts... dodly doo doo, here they are all sitting in a row. Red ones, green ones, some as big as your head. :)

Giggle.

Hmmm?. ohhh... unky you have a dirty mind, tut tut :rolleyes:

Unky has a dirty mind?

Unky, go clean your mind! Use soap. ;)

That's all because of one friend of mine... he brought up some dirty joke that I wasn't seeing...

'A little boy asked his teacher (female teacher) how she could recognise a married woman, given:
1. The first one was licking her ice cream from the top only
2. The second one was licking her ice cream from the bottom.
3. The third one was licking her ice cream all over, from top to bottom and vice versa.'

Then, he would let us answer, and then he'll say:

'The teacher says, I guess the third one?? '
'kid: No! You look for the one having a ring! What were you thinking about! '

Unky has a dirty mind?

Unky, go clean your mind! Use soap. ;)

Trust Alty unky she's had lost of experience cleaning dirty minds :)

It was only that ice cream which got me... the ice cream in the wafer.

Apart from that, I'm clean I tell you clean!

Do I have to watch out for caribou stampedes? We had a woman in a town near here who was trampled by a herd of deer. Downtown.

Yes, I heard about that... strange.

Just got in from a fabulous Christmas Party it's 11:45 pm still early though. Party was great, nice people, friends, drink, food and presents too, we had a great time, didn't want to leave.

We had some flurries yesterday but nothing on the ground as yet, they are saying that we won't for a couple weeks yet.

HAHA Oh my gosh that made me laugh.

THe dog was hilarious. And she.. . Well she could NOT dance, and she looked anorexic.
All she did was flip her hair and wiggle her hips in a very non-fluidlike fashion.

I'd be embarrassed to post it because of the dancing, not because of the dog.

Because it makes me giggle.

YouTube - Hippo and dog (in the jungle) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qC9WkJV_TI)

I've seen that hippo and dog before... in a French channel called 'TF1', in 'TFOU' which is a program where you can see a lot of different cartoons. I didn't know they could speak english :eek:

Always doing something funny those two :p

Bear, the hippo is the innocent one, the strong one, the more 'foolish' one too.
The dog is the mischievous one, who's got brains though.
It's perhaps because the hippo is being annoyed by the latter that you are intrigued by it...

Oh, and an update of Momma C from Starty :(:

December 6 at 9:30am Report
Hi this is Chery's Brother, sadly I have to let you know that She passt away early this morning Dec 6th. I am new to Facebook and am only trying to let her online Family know that she is now in a better Place. She deeply appreciated all the comfort she received from you all.
If possible could you pass this message on to everyone who is a shared friend! Thank You !!

Ok, I'm off to sleep now. Cya guys later!

RIP Momma C.

Good Morning. First snowfall of the year here. Colt's are now 12-0!!

Yay for the ponies! (colts)

No snow here, no mounties,no snowmen,no kanagoos or whatever animals they have in canada... just me and my wet dog sitting by the fire.

I want a fire. And yay for the horses

Good Morning. First snowfall of the year here. Colt's are now 12-0!!!

Morning, Adam. Yay, for the Colts! :D

Hi, Red. :)

And for Springer: YAY!! For the Bears. :)

Hey cat.. have not seen you on in a few days... its too cold here to do much,I guess its December,so of course its cold! Duh.

Yes, I wanted to congratulate Stringer on his Bears win. He can take the bag halfway off now.

Thanks, but the 'bag' is still on my friends. La had only one win going into this game, soooo... they were expected to win. :(

Congrats on the colts win Adam.

Did you see the saints game? Wow and WOW again... tied it with seconds to go and won in OT! Also 12 - 0.

Maybe Colts and Saints in the Super Bowl?? That would be a great game!!

I bet you 10 bucks colts play the Saints in the Superbowl unless the Viking beat the Saints but I don't think so. The Saints are on fire. I wanted them to lose so badly yesterday for obvious reasons, I was happy when I checked the score and there was a less than 2 minutes left with the skins ahead and then I check back later, dissapointed to see it in overtime, and then I look again to see they won.

My prediction is that Colts vs. Saints in Superbowl. Both undefeated at that point. Saints win 31-10. My dream is that Colt's win 42-17

What is your prediction Stringer or anyone else?

Not a single person came here since my post. That is impressive. This site is wearing away.

Dude people don't live here LOL!

Some use to. Haha

Hi NK and Adam! Since there was no one when I was in, well, I didn't post :o

Now that I'm in and there's someone... :)

I had a busy day yesterday bud, wasn't able to come around.

Hey Stringer! :)

Adam, just saw your thread. I hope all will turn out for the better. Problems involving much money are real pain :( The fact that you they're asking you to pay even though you didn't sign anything bugs me...

Yes Unky, It sucks majorly. They sent me a letter once saying please sign this and send us your money. I was thinking OK, I don't want to use the lake and I don't want to sign anything. Here I am. I think I am OK now though, if they sue me. You guys will never hear from me again. I'm sorry but people shouldn't be able to do what they like to others by making their lives hell. I won't stand for it.

Hi Unky.

Haha I almost got up and went to work at 6:30 today when I didn't have to. I have to walk to work too, and it's COLD. I would have cried if I had went all the way up there to find out that I didn't need to be and then have to walk back. Bah. I'm glad I double checked my schedule and then called up there, otherwise I would have had a terrible morning. Close call! *PHEW*

Good catch ohso :)

Hi Ohso! I'm glad for you.

good catch ohso :)

Hey Bear.

Haha thanks guys. :)
Yeha, that would have been awful, I'm SUPER glad I didn't go all the way up there, and that I checked. I went the whole day yesterday thinking that I had to work today too, but something told me to check my schedule, so I did. Someone's helping me out. :)

Hi stringer, hi unky

hi stringer, hi unky

What's shaking today Bear?

And Hi Bear! :)

What's shaking today Bear?

Not much, apart from being totally stuck with one of my assignments, went in early to get help, sort of got help that didn't really help, and I won't be able to get much help between now and the deadline, meaning I'm more than likely going to fail this module, now I'm back at home, frustrated because I just don't get it, and its only 5.20 and I'm absolutely knacked, :(
... rant over, sorry about that

Possibly can you ask one of your classmates for help Bear?

Possibly can you ask one of your classmates for help Bear?

Unfortunately not

Why not create a thread for it? Perhaps someone might offer some advice?

Most of the time I've found that if I do get some advice via the desk, it can be difficult to understand, still can't hurt.

Hello friends.

YAY ADAM IS HERE!

Hello Adam!
I'd love to stay and chat, but I have errands I must run, maybe later!

See you everyone!

See you. I always miss everyone. Haha. I'm not whining, just saying.

I'm back already! How awesome is that? :)

Mornin

Hi I am here. Back in good 'ole Ontario.

Eek the way here was NOT fun.

Let see how it went:

-4hour drive from Hudson's Hope BC to Grande Prairie Alberta
-take plane from Grande Praire to Edmonton [there are no one ways to Toronto]
-Edmonton plane to Toronto was delayed "due to a minor mechanical issues" in which turned out to be a forzen engine [was -20 Celsius that day]
-4 hour delay turned into a canceled flight
-had to retrieve my bags and rebook a flight.
-Only direct flight was at 6AM next flight [which was right about to take off was to Calgary and then Calgary to Toronto] I booked that one
-Me and Rach go running to get our carry ons checked and they took away her applesauce [it was not fun for Rachel]
-Go on Calgary flight
-Now in Calgary have to wait for 2 hours for next flight to leave
-FINALLY in Toronto at 7 am and drove back to Windsor [which is like 2 hours]...

FEWF

They took her applesauce? :eek:

What kind of heathens are they? :mad:

Umm you forgot the touques, and what about the Mooses, and John fram New-Found-Land? Also did you forget that we don't have electricity yet, and only One hour of day light per year?? :P :P :))

I know which I bought IN the airport like in the 4hours I was IN the airport I concocted a bomb with applesauce...

They also made me dump her juice [which I also bought IN the airport]...

Rachel did not like it at all. She was crying like "noo my juice".

Even more it was late and she had no nap so it wasn't at all that fun.

During the 4 hour delay she did manage to have some fun with this lady and her dog. I, however, wanted to scream.

-4hour drive from Hudson's Hope BC to Grande Prairie Alberta
-take plane from Grande Praire to Edmonton [there are no one ways to Toronto]
-Edmonton plane to Toronto was delayed "due to a minor mechanical issues" in which turned out to be a forzen engine [was -20 Celsius that day]
-4 hour delay turned into a canceled flight
-had to retrieve my bags and rebook a flight.
-Only direct flight was at 6AM next flight [which was right about to take off was to Calgary and then Calgary to Toronto] I booked that one
-Me and Rach go running to get our carry ons checked and they took away her applesauce [it was not fun for Rachel]
-Go on Calgary flight
-Now in Calgary have to wait for 2 hours for next flight to leave
-FINALLY in Toronto at 7 am and drove back to Windsor [which is like 2 hours]...

Ahhhh the joys of flying :)

Hello there Alty, Adam and Muddy.

Hello there Alty, Adam and Muddy.

Sorry, is applesauce a sauce from apple or something completely different? :o

Bunnies cat fly!? :eek:

Applesauce is mushed up apples. It's yummy. You don't have applesauce in your neck of the woods?

Bunnies can too fly, if you give them a parachute. :)

That's me. :o

Sorry. :o

Not unless you're a creepy old guy with a bushy beard. If you're wearing a costume, please stop making that noise. It's annoying.

Hi hheath! I wish you good luck in finding somewhere to sleep and live for a while until you get things getting better.

not unless you're a creepy old guy with a bushy beard. if you're wearing a costume, please stop making that noise. it's annoying.

That's not a beard, it's my hair, I didn't feel like brushing it today.

Okay okay, I'll stop. :(

LMAO! I love it! :p

My hubby calls me poo bits. ;)

The reindeer arrived!!

Yay!

Well this winter storm is really bad only a few inches of snow (most of the 8 to 10 inches passed north of us) but 30 mpr winds with gusts every ten minutes up to 55 mph.

I just got back in, I was off the road that was a sheet of 1/2 inch ice with NO SALT on the road!! There was a 'white out' with the blowing snow, you can't see 5 feet in front of you.

There was a bad accident about hundred feet ahead, cars in front of me all hit the brakes and were flying everywhere. I was only going about 20 mph touched the brakes and it was like Disney ON ICE. I knew that I couldn't stop before I hit the car in front of me and there was a large utility casing to my right. I managed to go off he road between that casing and the car in front of me and bounced for 10 feet into the gutter and up the slope to the farmer's field. Stayed there for 1 1/2 hours until the tow truck got there to tow me out. I was standing in the middle of the road and the gusts blew me to the side, my mustache even froze!!

Thank goodness... no damage to my 'baby' C-70 and I had to use a tow truck that wasn't AAA so I won't get reimbursed... but 'baby' is safe... wheewwww ! :eek::eek::cool::rolleyes:

Wow, sounds like a lucky escape there stringer, glad your OK :)

The reindeer arrived !!!

Yay!

From Judy?

Aren't they adorable. I love mine, even though Chewy sort of killed one of them. :(

Sigh.

No, things aren't good. Rained last night and flooded the basement where I sleep too. Nearly all rugs and lots of stuff that got wet.

When I got out of bed, my feet landed in about 1/2" of water.

Yikes.

Sorry to hear that KISS.

I can't get to my car because of all the snow. Does that make you feel any better? ;)

No, because they were saying on the TV, "If this rain were snow it would have been x inches". I forgot what x was.

It just would have flooded when it melted, I guess.

wow, sounds like a lucky escape there stringer, glad your ok :)

Thank you Bear, I'm fine. I sent a phone photo to Marta while I waited for that tow truck.

Glad that you noticed my post bud. :)

I noticed too Stringer, I just didn't have the chance to comment, the kids came inside, wanted something, I got sidetracked and then forgot.

I'm glad you're okay too. You know that. :)

Glad your OK Stringer too.

Thanks, I am.

Glad your OK Stringer too.

Ditto sherriff :cool:

Group hug! :)

Just cause you are the only one who can't leave, you expect everyone to come running to Canada? Hmmmph selfish brod, eh? Bwahahahahahaha

Huh?

Starty girl, I'm lost. Find me. ;)

Here sweet love... I am missing you. Just thinking Alty can't get her passport so she wants everyone to come to her... awww damn it isn't sarcastic when I put it that way and I was trying real hard to be funny!

Here sweet love...I am missing you. Just thinking Alty can't get her passport so she wants everyone to come to her...awww damn it isnt sarcastic when i put it that way and I was trying real hard to be funny!

I'm laughing on the inside Startykins. ;)

I miss you too. Where have you been? Don't you know that you're obligated to devote at least 5 hours a week to AMHD? It's in your contract. Check the fine print!

Ben, I'm going to need you to put some fine print in Starty's contract. Actually, you're going to have to make a contract period. Oh, and forge her signature on it. Thanks. :)

I uh cannot do that. I could get all caught up and then loose every sweet loving relationship I have with my children, family and friends. Log on in morning and log on before bed... and since I like wine before bed, I would be no good to the great askers here on the desk... LMAO
I am fine. I wonder if you are doing great like I want you too!?

BEN! I WILL turn you in for forging my sig... dont even try it, I will tell CBW!

Ben, do it. She can't win, I'm your backup. I'm your witness.

I know, I know, you could get someone better then me, but I'm the only one around to offer so take what you get.

Giggle.

Starty, you're stuck. :)

Hmmm, well I will come and see what is happening, that is about all I can do for now. Give a lady a break:)
XXOO Alty, tell all those needy asking help needing people that Starty will be back at some point but for now she needs to watch the newest JOHNNY DEPP movie! Who can blame me? LOL

Give Johnny a kiss for me, and a little pinch on the bottom. Giggle.

Night Starty girl. I miss you. It was so nice to chat for a while. :)

You were a huge help to me, better than the people that were there. You seem like you know a lot about that kind of thing and was wonding if you could help me further, I would deeply appreciate it if you could. If you can or do want to, thank you, if you cant, thank you for the help you already gave me.

Alty... can I go out and make a snow-woman... ;)

Alty... can I go out and make a snow-woman... ;)

You can make a snow Lady!

You can make a snow Lady!!

Hmmm good thinking... I like a Lady with class... ;)

Hmmm good thinking... I like a Lady with class... ;)

I'm sure you do! You seem to be married to one after all!

I'm sure you do! You seem to be married to one after all!

Haha!

Too right...

Well I'm off to my classy princess soon... She'll be waiting for me...

If only I had a white steed to ride in on...

Haha!

Too right...

Well I'm off to my classy princess soon... She'll be waiting for me...

If only I had a white steed to ride in on...

I heard a song about a guy who rode a white steed today, he never noticed the girl who loved him because he was full of himself, so she killed herself.
Get a black stallion. :rolleyes:

She says Black suits me better anyway... ;)

I bet I really stand out in the snow... Oh well... ;)

Thank you Bear, I'm fine. I sent a phone photo to Marta will I waited for that tow truck.

Glad that you noticed my post bud. :)

No worries stringer, I know that 'OH SH1T' feeling you get when you feel you've lost control of your vehicle, terrifying and exciting at the same time :)

no worries stringer, i know that 'OH SH1T' feeling you get when you feel youve lost control of your vehicle, terrifying and exciting at the same time :)

:D Yeah.. Those are the words that I heard myself saying bear. When I touched the brakes I went into a complete spin, I was very lucky to be able to control it enough to guide my car between that utility box and the car in front of me. I missed it by inches. Like I said before, about a hundred yards ahead of me one car was over and on top of another and another one was on its' roof 20 feet from the road. Actually I saw about three additional cars that were off the road like I was.

I called my son he has a big Ford 4 wheel drive. He was on his way but the traffic was all snarled because of the storm. So I called him off when I got the tow truck driver to do it. Remember I was sitting there for and hour and a half... boring!! And Marta wanted to come and put out road flares because my butt end was still out on the road somewhat. I wouldn't let her, the roads and weather were just terrible.

Funny, I am the one that is always preaching to her about keeping blankets, flares, food and drink in the car for situations like this and I forgot to do it myself. Although I found a couple Reeses' Cups in my car... made short order of them... :)

Bloody hell stringer.. close call!

Just as well you didn't have to eat a limb.

Survivor.

bloody hell stringer..close call!

"You funny ladeeee Red" :)

I have been losing weight for the last three months now, wouldn't have been mush of a meal :)

Stringer, Hate to hear about your close call but glad to hear it was only close. Monday sucked on the way to work. I never got much above 20mph on the way to work. Whenever I touched the brake they weren't really in existence.

Yep, like I said before, Disney On Ice man... and usually I don't have any problems on ice, this condition was different. The road was rounded a lot so rain would run off, it wasn't as flat as most.

I was raised in Western Pa, I learned to drive in this weather in the Laurel Mountains, not a problem usually. But when I touched the brakes on that ice, that was it. While I was in the spin I was working that steering wheel, let me tell you...

Yeah you deffinetly got lucky :)

I still don't know which way to turn the steering wheel when sliding because it usually doesn't help.

yeah you deffinetly got lucky :)

I was lucky Bear, could have been me in that upside down car... very lucky, ha you guys would have been rid of me... :D:rolleyes:

I was lucky Bear, could have been me in that upside down car...very lucky, ha you guys would have been rid of me.....:D:rolleyes:

Lol been there done that, got the photograph :D

Been upside down Bear? Not good.

Stringer, what do you mean rid of you?

lol been there done that, got the photograph :D

I was somewhat p*ss*d at myself for allowing it to happen, also felt a little stupid... must be a 'guy thing.'

Been upside down Bear? Not good.

Stringer, what do you mean rid of you?
A year ago I wrote my first car off, went round a corner, caught some loose mud or something (it had been raining heavily before I went out) swerved to avoid an oncoming car went between a tree and a telegraph post into some bushes pulled out hit a post and flipped it, I wasn't joking about that photo either, I got the paramedic to take one of me stood next to it :o

I was somewhat p*ss*d at myself for allowing it to happen, also felt a little stupid....must be a 'guy thing.'

I just got a sense of 'that didn't just happen... did it?'

Stringer, I am very glad that you weren't in that upside down car. I don't even want to think about joking about losing you. :(

Ok, pics then Bear? I got to see.

Once I was driving home and it was raining and I threw a cigarette out my window and I thought it came back in so I looked in the floor and then back at the road. By that time my vehicle had left the road and I was heading straight towards a phone pole. I only had a lap belt in that thing so I dove to the right in my seat and it still slung me back and placed my mouth right into the steering wheel. It was a metal steering wheel with wood on top and bottom, well my mouth busted the wood and bent the metal. I now have over $4,000 in my mouth. Haha. I split the pole in two and continued through the woods taking out some trees until I came to one big enough to stop me. I miss that van, my good 'ol shaggin waggin. If I was in anything else I would have been dead.

Wow, that sounds even worse than mine, tut tut on the safety of your van even if it could plough through the forest :)

I'm not going to show you the pic of me stood next to it, because I don't like showing pics of myself, but I will show you before and after crash pics if you want?

Been upside down Bear? Not good.

Stringer, what do you mean rid of you?

Bad joke Adam.

Ok, that is fine Bear. You don't have to post any of the pics. You don't have to be shy in front of your family though. My accident wasn't that bad, I was just thankful my van was very durable. I had stitches in my mouth and both legs and had scratches and bruises all over. In bed for a week. It was nice that week. Wake up in the morning, take 3 different pills and pass out minutes later. Wake up in the afternoon, take more pills and pass out, same thing in the evening. That is all I did was sleep and take pills.

Bad joke Adam.

Damn right bad joke bud. Don't say that.

Stringer, I am very glad that you weren't in that upside down car. I don't even want to think about joking about losing you. :(

That was kind Cat, thanks.

Glad that it was not a life threatening crash Adam.

What scares me a lot is with this push for more economical cars that are so tiny that it makes one wonder how you or your loved ones could survive a crash in it?

Wow, you've seen what happened to me, I crawled out of that, OK it was upside down so I got the doors mixed up, but I was fine, I could have walked home if it wernt for persistent paramedics wanting to take me to A&E

damn right bad joke bud. Don't say that.

:) k.

Man, I have been a few accidents in my life Bear, never in one where the car overturned though, that is scary. Did you have your seat belt on?

Man, I have been a few accidents in my life Bear, never in one where the car overturned though, that is scary. Did you have your seat belt on?

Yeah I did, never driven without it on, it was weird though being suspended in mid air upside down being held in by my seatbelt (after id landed)

After that accident, I wouldn't be too concerned about unclicking the belt and dropping on my head my friend. Did the paramedics take you to the clinic?

Yeah although there wasn't any need to, I just ended up waiting 4 hours in A&E for someone to say 'you look ok' so I could leave,

Sorry I think I got a little competetive with comparing crashes :o

I didn't read back. Bear, when did this happen?

No you didn't, this is interesting to me anyway.

Did you receive a ticket from the police?

Take a look...

I didn't read back. Bear, when did this happen?

A year ago, well, late Nov 2008

Like I said I think I got a little competetive when stringer mentioned his crash, and the little voice in side my head 'thats not a crash, THIS is a crash' :o


No you didn't, this is interesting to me anyway.

Did you receive a ticket from the police?

For what? I was doing roughly 45 mph on a 60 mph road

I did have to give my insurance details to the police because the sign I hit was a council sign so they were obviously going to claim on my insurance to put it back up

They didn't even bother to breathilise(sp) me, the reason being they told me if I was speeding id have died.

Hmmmm... well it just seems that at any opportunity here they slam a ticket on you... revenue you know.

Hmmmm...well it just seems that at any opportunity here they slam a ticket on you...revenue ya know.

Yeah I've heard some parking wardens try that over here, because they get bonuses the more vehicles they get or something like that so they'll try any little reason to write you a ticket, there was a case of one guy whod parked and then theyd painted yellow lines where he was parked and they gave him a ticket, of course it was over ruled in court because of the pictures taked when the guy left because there were gaps in the paint where his tyres had been :D

That's stupid (they're a**es) and funny at the same time. Glad he was smart enough to take the pictures and follow through with court. Here it is always a hassle to go to court, you wait forever and sometimes they don't even call you that day and you have to come back the next...

Welp... I guess other that "This" ain't no one interested huh?

I have a crash story that can beat all of you. Yup, I'm competitive too. ;)

This happened around 15 years ago, 1 year before hubby and I got married.

I was in college, finishing my degree. It was finals week. I stayed late to help a fellow classmate that was having trouble with the material. I left 3 hours later then normal, ended up in rush hour traffic, in Edmonton. Not fun.

I was on the highway, going over a really crappy area, there's a little hill, then a set of lights. I get over the hill (you can't see what's in front of you until you get over it) and the car in front of me slams on the breaks. I react, slam on mine, look back to see if I'm going to get hit, but the care behind me also stops. I breathe a sigh of relief, we're all okay, about to look straight ahead again when CRASH! We're hit by an ambulance. No, he didn't have his lights or siren on, he was transporting patients.

It turned into a 4 car pileup. My car was totaled, as was the car behind mine and the ambulance.

Because of this crash I spent over 2 years in physiotherapy, 5 days a week. It didn't help. I have what they call "loss of lardodic curvature of the spinge. Also, my collar bone slipped, is now crushing the artery between my collar bone and first rib. Because of this my left arm is constantly numb. Yes, I can still use it, but summers are hell. I can literally stab a knife through my arm and not feel a thing. Surgery is the only correction, but it's risky.

Beat that boys. ;)

I can literally stab a knife through my arm and not feel a thing. Surgery is the only correction, but it's risky.

Beat that boys. ;)

That was bad... Okey Dokey... I have another but I have dinner now, back in a few.

Marta made almond encrusted baked orange roughy with baked potato and creamed corn... I will not miss this for sure... the way to a man's heart.

Thanks guys. :)

I'm okay. It's just a pain, in the arm. ;)
