  1. I think that the most important ingredient would be frank communication as both women and men's likes and dislikes can vary drastically
  2. So, I awoke early with the intention of arriving at the passport office on Meadowlands promptly at 7:30 (opening bell). While getting ready I quickly realized that they would be closed today due to Veterans Day. No worries, I will go tomorrow. My dilemma stems from the fact that a Service Canada office is close by and way more convenient. Upon a bit of research, I found out that if you go to a Service Canada or Canada Post locale, their typical processing time is 20 business days while if you go directly to Passport Canada the time is 10 business days. 20 days brings us to mid-December when the post office is the busiest. I need my passport prior to January 7th. Should I just suck it up and go directly to the passport office or do you think I have enough time to entrust Service Canada?
  3. This hug is for LuxeMulvari! Kisses too!
  4. Pork tenderloin stuffed with onion, garlic, apples and freshly made bread crumbs. Oven roasted potatoes and steamed yellow beans tossed in fresh lemon juice and hot pepper flakes.
  5. Damn, I think I may have missed this thread. Hope your day was outstanding!
  6. I watch Market Place religiously every Sunday and when I saw the preview I decided not to watch. Sometimes it's better to remain obliviousin situations that you have no control over. Other than packing your own pillows, sheets, blankets, towels and disinfectant (which I am highly considering for my upcoming stay at Lac leamy, there isn't much you can do! Oh my, my OCD will be in overdrive now!
  7. I realized the other day that it is human nature to be quick about complaining yet slow to praise. Recently I have had the need for some services around the house. We are all used to the "be there between 8 and 5 scenario and expect closer to 5. These last two instances, both said I will be there at 10 (for example) and showed up right on time! I was astounded. Today I decided that instead of complaining about the times I was pissed off, I would do something about the times I was pleased. I found the proper avenue for both companies and sang the praises of both of these individuals. Just now I received an email from one of the techs who was so pleased as he had never gotten a rave review out of the blue. He stated that, eventhough he always gives the best service possible, no one has ever taken the time to express it to him or his superiors. That made my day! I helped him in ways that I didn't occur to me until just now.....yeah, blond, I know!
  8. Chatting with a friend on the phone...been way too long!
  9. Been a long time since this would be necessary to me but completed anyway :)
  10. Why do delivery people only ever show up when you are a) in the shower, b) making a 5 minute milk run or c) naked in the arms of a gentleman caller?
  11. I wish you the very best and will miss you tremendously!
  12. Still with moms frozen chicken titties....slowly softened some onions and garlic. Chopped up the breasts and coated in paprika and flour and added to the pan to brown. A huge squirt of Dijon mustard followed by a bit of chicken stock. Stirred in some chopped up blanched potato and then thru the whole lot into a corningware dish and into a 325 oven for 40mins. Steamed brussel sprouts on the side. Yummo!
  13. Whether it be in the sticky section or in the general section, it's unfortunate, but some people DO need reminding. I submit this as a gentle admonition not requiring any negative feedback :)
  14. Hard all the way...hurts so good! Rabbits or rats....answer wisely!
  15. Extra spicy clamato Long hair or short hair
  16. Short sleeve Rockstar or Red Bull
  17. I am obsessively punctual and early is just as stressful as late. I am like Nicolette....last minute adjustments are part of my ritual (perhaps a sign of ocd lol). As a further topic of discussion along the same lines.... I have a previous regular that did not have a cell phone but would contact me from his home phone which was not blocked. He would then call me from a nearby payphone to alert me of his eminent arrival. This worked well for quite sometime. One day, while I was not available, he called numerous times from his home number and, I will assume, not receiving a response, decided to try me from the payphone. I was not expecting company so I did not have my phone handy. I was sitting in the backyard of my incall waiting for my friend when I heard the door bell. Thinking she forgot her keys, I started toward the door. I quickly realized who it was because of the hair and did not answer (can see out but not in too well). I was furious! I tracked down my phone and confirmed my suspicions. Just because you know someone's incall addy does not give you the right to show up at any given time. Christine....I understand where you are coming from.
  18. Tim Bits Call me Fitz or the new Two and a Half Men
  19. I am 42yrs old so I am pretty sure that I don't need to worry about autism. Because of my eczema I was not vaccinated as a child but did get vaccinated for hep a and b in my twenties due to my profession at the time. My question comes down to the merits of preventing preventable infections/diseases. I am a healthy person who takes her vitamins and follows a good diet etc. lets face it, anyone who indulges in spirits, tobacco and processed foods is a target for any number of illnesses...which probably means the majority of the human race unless you are solely organic. As someone stated before, smallpox and polio have been practically eradicated because of vaccines. Are there no merit in the current available vaccines? What has changed? As far as pharmaceuticals go, why aren't people all over the thread concerning Ed medication, or birth control meds? I stand by my flu shot as in all of the years I have taken it i have never even had so much as a sniffle. Perhaps it is my good health and the way I go about keeping myself that way or perhaps it's because I have a bit of faith in my long term health provider. While I appreciate it, I am more interested in success stories than conspiracy theories. :)
  20. Was down last month at bill time and somehow, blond moments erupted and I double paid a few of them. Hydro and gas came in today with credits showing. Woohoo!
