Yes, we are serious, when we need to be, but we really know how to have fun and play around too.

By the way, I see you're in Toronto, I live in Alberta, very close to Edmonton. :)

Thanks for the invite!

Oooh, I have family in Edmonton. As much I as love Toronto, I really love it out west. I get out there about once every other year, but that's not enough! Hiking up a mountain is sooo much more appealing than walking down a paved path in the Don Valley here in Toronto, lol.

And, your hockey team actually wins sometimes! How do you do it?!
Whenever I think of Edmonton, this video comes to mind. O'Canada!

Wow, good video JR, most people don't know our national anthem, unless they go to a hockey game. ;)

I love the Oilers, even though we haven't won in a long time, almost did a while back, and I actually watched the play offs, I don't usually. It was so sad when they lost, I actually cried.

Yes Stringer, I like hockey, I'm loathe to admit it, I'm sure you'll hold it over my head, but alas, I must admit it, after all, I'm in Canada, hockey is a must. :)

JR, I actually live in a town right outside of Edmonton, it's called Sherwood Park. I love it here in the burbs, good schools, shopping, parks, you name it, it's a great place to be.

I have two kids, my rugrats, Jared (10) and Sydney (6) and I have a zoo. 3 dogs, 4 rabbits, 1 bird and 1 gold fish that won't die, he just won't, he's 4 years old, he cost 26 cents, he will live forever. ;)

We have tons of fun on our little member discussion sites, in fact, we've had so many of them that it's hard to keep count. You see a thread can only go to 1500 then it's closed down, we close down one every month or so, so keep on your toes. ;)

I love going to the mountains, we go once a year if we can, to Penticton with the kids and dogs, the bunnies and others stay home. ;)

I hope you join us in the castle too, if you want I'll post the link here. :)

What Canadian doesn't LOVE hockey? I'm pretty sure it is a law by now...

And, if I counted right, that is 9 pets and two kids! Wow. How do you handle all that? I had a cat once... He died, and we decided no to get another one because he was too much to care for. ONE CAT! The most self-sufficient pet, and we thought it was too much. You, with 3 dogs, 4 rabbits, a bird and a fish is crazy... An animal lover, are you? Lol

And I found the castle, thanks. Lol, I am just reading through it quickly to get the jist of it.

Yup, animal lover and a half, I'd adopt more but I think I'm at my limit, so do the neighbours. ;)

Yup, it's the law in Canada, you have to love hockey, if you don't then you better not admit it, you'll be hung in the village square. ;)

Getting the jist of the castle is impossible, things are changing constantly. All you really need to know is that I'm the Queen, Starby's a duck (long story) Stringer is the Sheriff (and he stole my whip) M sits in the corner and watches, Chery monitors us and tells us to behave and others stop in once in a while to keep us in line (that's impossible). ;)

It's a fun place, just watch out for the alligators in the moat. ;)

The Crocduck... huh?


Ahahahahahaha... I'm speachless! Lol

EDIT: I'm still laughing... lol

Starduck (Starby) had a bit of fun with one of the alligators and the result was a crocduck, or Alliduck? Anyway, it's a scary creature, stay away from it, you could lose an arm. :)

Ducky is minus a puter right now, her mean evil brother took it away in the hopes that Daddy could fix it. Kids, we may need to pitch in and get Starduck a new puter, whenever her brother says "It'll be done asap", it usually takes a few years. I know I'd miss her, wouldn't you? With every bullet so far. ;)

Wow, Starby,
Bestiality? Really?

What doesn't happen here? Lol. Is anything too much? I hope not, because this and the castle seem like the perfect threads!

Haha, I'm still laughing at all this. My impressions of you guys were from the serious side of this forum. I thought you were all serious, all the time (no offence). Then, I stumble upon this. Ha! Its just a shock. A pleasant surprise. Thanks for making me feel so welcome!

Wow, us serious? Hmmm, I guess we do come off that way on other threads, when we need to, but this is our little haven, our place to let loose, let it all hang out (not me, I have it all tucked in) and just have fun.

Oh, fyi, I'm on the phone with Starby, she says hi, welcome to the castle, and the can of worms thread and others, and she says ahem Muwahahahahahahahahahaha! She is sans computer at the moment and she's going through AMHD withdrawl. Everyone, all at once, AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Okay, now she's yelling, what? Of course it's fair, I'm sorry your puter is mean, it's not my fault, calm down, breathe, drink some beer, don't choke, breathe. Okay, you okay? Yup? You'll be fine, just buy a new puter Starby.

Jeesh! ;)

Haha, I see your real personality now. Unexpected, but great!

I know I have said this several times before, but I'll say it again; Thanks for making me feel so welcome here!

Of course you're welcome here, everywhere, we know good people when we read them. ;)

O god, I'm blushing again :o :)
Thanks

Darn I'm good, that's two blushes already. ;)

Okay kids, I got to run, Survivor is on in 7 minutes, got to grab a beer and find the channel.

I may be back afterwards, but I'm not sure, got to take care of puppy boy and the other pets, not to mention the kids (they have the day off tomorrow) and the hubby (do I have to?).

Be good kids, I'm always watching. Or be bad, I like that too. ;)

Starby says bye, and WAAAAAAAAA! Whiny brat. ;)

I'm mean? She says I'm mean. No, not mean, just not sans computer, she's jealous, I have a pretty puter, and it works. ;)

Really, got to go. Later kids. :)

I almost forgot about my rant and rave thread! I've got to go for now... but maybe I'll think of a rant or rave a little laterzzz! I've always got one or two... or 20... LOL!

OK,I'll join in.

My job is getting to me... Hmmm like that has never happened to anyone before.

It's not the job itself(I am installing a hand split shake roof on an 1860's barn)It's the customer that is doing all the stresses.

He is my fathers diabetic doctor.
She is a nurse in the local ER.

I was referred for this job through the local lumber yard,All good so far.

It began with a 3 week delay due to the timber framers being late for erecting the building(was taken down and trucked to site)much less they were dragging their feet completing the project.

The customer(SHE) began calling me daily as we had a schedule situation to address due to the delays.She began to say how she felt about the framers,statements made to her,she felt were inappropriate,then she accused the foreman of being(her words)passive/aggressive.

I know of this man and father does also,we never thought of him as anything more than a good hard worker.

OK,so she asks me not to come to the job until the framers were gone,as to avoid confrontation,so to speak.NO PROBLEM

When day 1 came to set my equipment up and prep for starting, she states that the framer came to her and asked if something was wrong? she said "I Let loose on him",telling him how she disliked him personally,how the delays were unprofessional,and how she would never be a reference for him or his outfit.

When I did start the job,she would come out and ask questions,talk freely,even to the point of bugging me(I never let her know that though.I thought-just an inquisitive customer)

By the time I completed half the job all was well.

Now(since last week) she and her husband haven't spoken 1 word to me or my helpers.We have been there while they were home(including today)I have made myself available to them while they were in the yard,not 25 feet from me,waved and said Hi,got no response, not even a nod.

This, I feel, is passive behavior on both of their parts.

This is a copy of how she treated the framers.

I am preparing for the shoe to drop in my direction now(OK maybe I am being paranoid,, butt who nose?? right?)

I'll complete my project(weather permitting) by Wed.

On another part of this property(50 feet from my job) another contractor is building a very elaborate horse shed( a copy of a Norwegian church,really nice,on paper) I think he is in for a nasty time with this customer.

She has shown to be the passive personality twice,and aggressive once(I have yet to hear the venting).

Hmmm, what to do,AFTER getting paid,ask her to visit friends in the psych. Unit and look up the meaning of passive/aggressive behavior?

I wish.

Ok long story, short ending.

I'll pipe in every so often and say HI(and hope to at least get a nod from someone... lol)
