    Aww man, Alty... I seriously would love to! A trip to Canada in the Summertime... yes, I could handle that...

    Crud, my passport expires in April... darn it, have to get on that... now that we have to have passports to visit you!

    I'm going to work on it! :)

    If invited Alty I'll be there , heck its only about 24 hours flying to Canada from here , I'll look after the BBQ :-)

    You are definitely invited, as for controlling the barbecue, you'll have to fight hubby over that one, it's a man thing. Me make fire, me kill dinner, me cook dinner, UG!

    I have to renew my passport as well, unfortunately it isn't that easy for me. I live in Canada but I'm a German citizen, that means I have to go to the German consulate, the nearest one is 1 1/2 hour flight away and after that I get to wait for up to 6 months for the passport to appear. Thank goodness I only have to do it every 10 years.

    Wow... that really does stink! I have to get myself to a Passport renewal dealy thingy... think I need to take a trip to D.C. lots of awesome museums AND the passport place. Smithsonians... here I come! :)

    Well all, bimbo girl has come to claim the computer and since I've been on here for a while now, I must bid you adieu. Besides, her gum chewing is going to drive me insane if I don't leave the room... ever want to just say, "didn't your mother teach you MANNERS???"

    Crud, nastiness is arising in HChicky... I'm headed to Barnes and Noble... I'll get a coffee and sweet HC will be back...

    Y'all have fun without me... Alty, BE GOOD! ;) Hit the lights on the way out!

    30 min drive to canada for me... canada got lame after I turned 21 however. Lol.

    Alty
    Ihate - You've obviously never been to my neck of the woods, besides, I make everything fun (pat on back) including Canada. ;)

    Where were you going that it got lame. And might I mention, I don't remember being 21, 20 I remember 22 as well, 21 is a blur. See, Canada is FUN!

    Type to you later HChicky, don't worry, I'll keep these lads in line while you're gone. (getting out my whip!)

    WOW... is it really that hard to renew your passports over there , here you go to the local Post Office and 10 minutes later.. DONE!

    It's easy in Canada if you're a citizen, but I have landed immigrant status, not citizenship. I still need to get a german passport in order to travel, I also have to have my landed immigrant papers. It's a big mess. You'd think that having lived in Canada for the last 34 years I'd be a citizen by now. Just can't see myself forking over $300.00 to take a test that 89% of Canadians can't even pass. No thanks, I'd rather spend that money on coffee.

    I don't even HAVE a passport. Need to get one, though. Last time I left the country, though, it was a 2-hour drive up to Vancouver, BC. We lived in Seattle at the time.

    I think we just had to tell them what we were doing there when we crossed the border. Took like 23 seconds.

    Oh, and stick might work for the flambeau thing.

    Thing is, steel keeps sticking in my head, too (as in, flint and steel)

    Hey, feeling unloved. I know that HChicky is the young, hip, pretty, girl and I'm just the old, married, mom of two, but what the heck. As soon as she signed off you guys jumped ship. Does my breath stink? I feel so unloved. Going to cry in my pillow, boo hoo hoo.:(

    Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, might as well eat worms, big round juicy ones, great big jiggly ones, oh how they wiggle and squirm. Sigh.:p

    Hey I'm still here Alty... veeerrrryyy busy at work that's all. And you are not OLD , and we all love you :-)
  • Mar 17, 2008, 06:09 PM
    Alty
    Aw, thanks, I needed that. Maybe I can talk hubby into letting you help with the barbecue. :)

    Now that I know that at least one of my friends still loves me, oh, by the way, right back at you babe, I've got to make the rugrats some dinner, they're starting to eye my bunnies while licking their lips. Hey, step away from the bunnies!:eek:
  • Mar 17, 2008, 06:11 PM
    friend4u178
    LMAO... I've had cooked bunny , quite nice :-)

    Oh, I see that *I* count for chopped liver.

    Just because I'm at work and haven't had much time to check in doesn't mean I shouldn't count!

    Hey, the bunnies are not, I repeat, not for the barbecue. Mental note, keep F4U away from my bunny babies. Naughty, naughty.

    Synnen - You are not chopped liver, not by a long shot. I've missed you today. I think that you and I should start a crossword puzzle thread, what do you think, to hard?

    Really got to cook some dinner now. Type to you all later.

    I'm back. I'm back.

    ... was sitting at the library... studying... then it hit me. I hadn't had dinner. It also hit me. I ran 3 miles today.

    Much less to say... the headache + cold feeling + weakness was from hunger.

    I got the hell out of the library and got me some food. I'm back for dinner. Then I'm out again. Is it coincidental that HC and I left at the same time?

    I'll let you guys ponder about THAT one.

    Alty
    HChicky, where are you, did you have dinner with Sneezy?

    Bom chicka wow wowww, tee hee hee. My 9 year old always says that. Scary.

    Hey guys, my son asked me a question about sex at dinner, he wanted to know how old people were before they started having sex, I really wanted to say 50.

    I took the opportunity to talk about condoms, why people use them and that they prevent pregnancy and disease. I gave him the 9 year old version (men have seeds, women have eggs, the condom is like a balloon that goes over your penis to stop the seeds from getting to the egg) after I said this he said, very nonchalantly "I'm going to need some of those condom thingys." The soup came out of my nose, I started choking, is he trying to give me a heart attack? I asked him why he needs some, he said, "For when I'm a teenager." Honestly I'm moving to the woods, no one around for miles, no television, a padlock on the door and a chastity belt for my daughter. Yikes, I need aspirin.

    Okay, really, I'm getting a complex. I come online and you all leave. Complex, honestly, going to need therapy.
  • Mar 17, 2008, 07:53 PM
    ISneezeFunny
    Well alty. If you'd wait a little bit... jeez.

    I'm at the library. Currently running on very little sleep, 3 cups of coffee and 2 energy drinks.

    Oh, HC'll be back soon. We took separate cars ;)
  • Mar 17, 2008, 07:56 PM
    Alty
    Sneezy, I'm a woman, we are not patient people. Sorry girls, maybe I should speak for myself, don't get mad, I switched from coffee to beer, I know not what I say.:o

    You made HC take her own car, what kind of date are you, honestly, I had such high hopes.;)
  • Mar 17, 2008, 08:02 PM
    ISneezeFunny
    well you know... first date... I figured she'd feel better if she took her own car so she can split whenever she wanted to. I had her in my thoughts =D

    also, I really hope HC doesn't come back tomorrow thinking, "...sneezy's def out of my 5"

    does canada have "my 5?" (it's a t-mobile thing)
  • Mar 17, 2008, 08:09 PM
    Alty
    Okay, t-mobile + Alty = Not bloody likely.

    We do have t-mobile here, it's just not on my top 5 list of things I need.

    Hey Sneezy are you coming to the barbecue? What kind of dog do you have, if it's small then my dogs can chew on, I mean play with your dog. I'm shooting for June or July. Before you ask, My hubby has dibs on working the barbecue, don't make the poor guy relinquish the barbecue, he's already losing his hair, the barbecue would push him over the edge. Don't tell him I said that, I'll deny it, he'll believe me, I'm female and very flexible.:D
  • Mar 17, 2008, 08:15 PM
    ISneezeFunny
    Haha. I'm down for the bbq.

    I have a 5 lb long haired chihuahua. It looks like a mini-golden retriever. She's whiny. To be honest, she's a . Grr. Should have gotten that husky... but it was originally intended as a gift for my mom... til I brought her home and my mom told me she didn't like dogs that shed. Thanks mom.

    Your hubby can take the bbq all he wants. Less work I do for my food, better off I am.

    I just realized that I'm losing my hair... slowly. Granted, I have LOTS of hair, but every time I take a shower, I look down at all the hair I'm losing and I cry a little.

    I personally like bald guys, Vin Diesel, yummy, wouldn't kick him out of bed for making crumbs.

    I just said way too much on another site, the one about the number of sexual partners people have had. Honestly, when I have a beer my mouth just won't stay shut, apparently my fingers won't stop typing either. Oh well, didn't give an actual number, just said that MarriedGuy wouldn't consider me date material.

    Hopefully this doesn't take anything away from my message to teens, I still thing that abstinence is best, I just didn't follow my own advice. Do as I say, not as I do.

    Gosh Alty, stop typing already!

  • Mar 17, 2008, 08:32 PM

    Okay, refresh my old memory, little blue friend?:confused:

    Sneezy, "do as I do" be more specific.:p

    do as I do... in all aspects of life.

    you can't go wrong. =D
  • Mar 17, 2008, 09:37 PM
    Alty
    Shouldn't I be saying that to you, after all, I am older than you. :)

    I have no regrets in life, everything I've done has lead me to were I am now, and that's a good thing. Nope, no regrets.
  • Mar 17, 2008, 09:42 PM
    ISneezeFunny
    Really?

    That's awesome. I wish I can say that for myself... and seeing that you're older, that's more kudos to you.

    I regret... going to the school I am going to... as well as choosing the major that I chose. I look forward to the future. 7 weeks and counting.
  • Mar 17, 2008, 09:51 PM
    Alty
    If you truly aren't happy then you still have time to make different choices. You only have one life to live, one chance, if you have a dream than go for it, no one else is going to do it for you. Good God do I ever sound old. Sit down son I'm going to give you some motherly advice.

    I'm not saying I haven't made mistakes, there are things that I wish I could take back, but they've all lead me here, delete one thing and I'd be somewhere entirely different. I've made mistakes, but I've learned from them, thankfully none of the mistakes were deadly, I got lucky, not everyone can say that.

    Ooh, serious talk. Funny time. One of my bunnies farted again. Stinky cheese bunny butt. Eww!
  • Mar 17, 2008, 10:00 PM
    ISneezeFunny
    Very true... the butterfly effect I guess...

    I don't have time to change schools... or my major. I have 7 weeks left.

    I am extremely happy about going to med school... I've wanted to be a surgeon since I was 12. My major, on the other hand... grr.

    I'll suck it up.
  • Mar 17, 2008, 10:09 PM
    Alty
    Ah Sneezy, you'll be fine. Like you said, only 7 weeks left and then you can start med school. I read somewhere that people compare you to Dr. House, I love that show, hope you aren't taking vicodin though, nasty drug to get into. :)

    Well, I have once again opened mouth and inserted foot on another post (told you I was flexible) this time it was the Teen Sex post, I just may have undone everything I've been trying to do concerning teens and sex. I hope not, it's something I really want to help change, I feel very passionately about it. Oh well, to late now, hopefully I didn't do too much harm. Now I'm worried.
  • Mar 17, 2008, 10:36 PM
    ISneezeFunny
    People often compare me to dr. house as I am sarcastic + dry... and make fun of everyone.

    In addition to working in research, I also work for the medical examiner (morgue)... and the general consensus of me working with dead people is:

    - I can see you doing that...
    - yeah... out of my friends, if ONE person worked in the morgue... it'd be you
  • Mar 17, 2008, 10:44 PM
    Alty
    I see dead people?

    Yikes, I have no desire to work in a morgue, but then again, I have no desire to be a surgeon either. When my Dad was sick I had to give him daily injections of Vitamin K, every time he saw me coming with the needle he winced. I'm not cut out for that kind of work.

    I'm a bit squeamish, not when it comes to my kids, but other people yup. I can handle just about anything when it comes to my own body, except with regards to my eyes, just don't touch my eyes and we'll be fine. Yuck.

    Sneezy sweetie, I'm going to hit the sack, I've got a long day tomorrow and it's going to start early. I need at least 7 hours and a full pot of coffee in order to function, another reason not to be a doctor.

    Good night to you, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite. Type at you tomorrow.

    Alty over and out.
