  1. That's awesome! If more people were like you, the world would be a better place.
  2. These are awesome locations, Penelope!
  3. lol... you got it. Apparently, 80% of kids in Kindergarten were able to figure this out, vs. only 17% of Stanford University students. Guess it takes a certain mindset!
  4. Interesting... I never saw the movie. Thanks for sharing!
  5. What is greater than God, more evil than the Devil, the poor have it, the rich need it, and if you eat it, you will die?
  6. Or, since he doesn't know who is the truth teller and who is the liar, he could ask each of the two reps "Which way is it to your village?" Both will point toward the path of the truth teller's village.
  7. Just wondering whatever became of the Cerb get together that was being tentatively planned at one point for the Halifax area. I realize that organizing something like this takes a lot of time and effort, but if someone was willing to do it, I think it would turn out fantastic! I know in some other cities, such as Toronto, socials are regular events. I think it would be nice to be able to put a face to the name of some of the other members here, mingle, network etc..it would be a lot of fun!
  8. It's ironic really; She was 31 but acted like a 17 year old when she became emotionally dysregulated. During an argument, she would scream and curse, then hang up on me. She expected me to call her back and fight some more. Of course I didn't since I wasn't about to lower myself to that level of communication. That's the type of argument you have when you're in highschool and don't know any better. Same with the silent treatment - it's very childish and immature. She would do this to me when in her mind, I had done something that demonstrated I didn't care about her. The fact that I didn't call her back and fight for her affection, or that I didn't chase in an effort to get her back provided the "proof" she needed to validate her convictions. Furthermore, the fact that I didn't buy into it, and that her games weren't working with me no doubt frustrated her. In the end, my lack of 'responsiveness' in this regard is what doomed the relationship. The ironic part is that if I had played along, we'd probably still be together. I know she wasn't the right one for me, but I still miss the sheer intensity of that particular relationship when things were going well - it was absolutely incredible!
  9. Exactly - It's definitely a problem you have to think about for awhile, but when you hear the answer, it seems so obvious! It's one of those questions where you go, "now why didn't I think of that?"
  10. A man wanders in the woods on his way home. After awhile, he realizes he is lost. He comes to a fork in the road, where one path leads to the truth tellers village, and the other leads to the liars village. At the start of each path, there is a representative from the corresponding village available to answer any questions he may have. The truth teller's rep will always tell the truth, and the liar's rep will always lie. The problem is, he doesn't know who is the truth teller and who is the liar. He knows that in order to make it safely home, he must get to the truth tellers village where he will be provided with help. What does he do in order to ensure he will end up at the truth teller's village?
  11. Or if it had come to that, the daughter could have replied, (turning to the money lender), " Since I dropped the first pebble, I want to make this fair. Kindly reach into your bag, pick a pebble and throw it onto the ground. The remaining pebble will show which one you picked. Of course, the pebble inside the bag would be black, so one would have to assume that the money lender had chosen the white pebble.
  12. I tried this approach with one of my ex gfs when she decided to give me the silent treatment for awhile. Unfortunately, taking a mature, rational approach didn't work with her since as I later found out she was emotionally unstable (diagnosed BPD). She felt that because I didn't "chase" it meant that I didn't care about her, which wasn't the case at all. Additionally, I found it very difficult to be angry with her, since not all of it was her fault. That is, no one asks to have a mental illness.

    Legs

    I love bare legs in a nice skirt; legs in pantyhose are great, too!
  14. P.S. Here are a couple of other tips I forgot to mention in a previous post: There are certain bank accounts out there that will waive their monthly fees if you maintain a certain minimum amount of funds in it - great way to avoid bank charges. Also, if you use a credit card, make sure you use one with a point/loyalty system e.g (cash back, travel points etc.) Preferably it will be one without an annual fee, but if you spend enough, cards with a fee attatched can be worth it as well. Also, try reading a book called "The Automatic Millionaire" by David Bach. His system and advice will get you started on the right path.
  15. Smart financial planning refers to always living below your means - never at or above. I'm very involved with investing, so now the idea of saving money is second nature. Granted, it wasn't always like that, but then again there are some lessons you have to learn the hard way. However, I digress. Here are some tips: Start by having an emergency fund; that is, try and save up six months worth of income and leave it in your bank account, and only use it for real emergencies. Next, get a financial advisor whom you trust. Open an RRSP and invest regularly, thus benefiting from dollar cost averaging. As a general rule, you usually get a third of what you invest in an RRSP back on your taxes. Take that money and re-invest it. When you get to the point where you are maxing out every year, open up a TFSA. Later, you may want to branch out into real estate. Right now the return on owning a property is better than that of the markets. The best way to do all this is to start small. Train yourself to live on less. track all your purchases and cut out unnecessary expenditures, like lattes, for instance. Try and save at least 10% of your income every month - more if you can. After awhile, you will find that you've developed good financial habits, and from then on your path to a secure financial future will be a piece of cake. :)
  16. I just got the new phone book the other day, and decided to peruse the escort agency section in the Yellow Pages. I noticed that Ava's has a website which looks intriguing. Has anyone had first hand experience with them, and are they reputable?
  17. Thanks for the great review... Much appreciated!
