Off Topic Part Deux

[Emancipation 2]

That's the same one I use too! I was hoping maybe you'd have found a different site! That's alright though, it is a great one and it sure is nice to have the option to do different videos whenever you want to.

And... i found all KINDS of exercise DVD's at Ocean State Job Lot for $2.99... they are the same website, but just on DVD.. i got one with 5 40 min work outs on it..

You guys are making me feel bad. I'm going to go clean my house.

[JillA 2]

Haha. Love the stories of the young males. They're so cute.

Good Morning to all!!

REMINDER TO THOSE I PROMISED A REMINDER:

Homeland Security USA is on tonight at 8pm on ABC!!

Gack! So I went ahead and set a reminder on my TV for this (thanks for the reminder, Jill) but I couldn't remember what time it was for. At 9:05 I asked my husband "Did a reminder for Homeland Security come on yet?" Apparently stupid Comcast clears all the reminders if you turn your TV off. Please tell me it wasn't any good last night.

Good morning from sunny Key West! Well, it's still dark yet, but you get the picture. Here's some morning brew! We're having a blast on our vacation, but wanted to stop in to say hello. A fabulous part of our trip was meeting up with Kathryn, trailmix and Krikit! Hugs to you for being as special in person as you are here. Enjoy your day!

Caralawarla!!! And here I was all prepared to post today's coffee. Glad to hear you're enjoying your vacation! You were just as wonderful in person too!

Good morning, everyone.

SNOW DAY!!!!!!

No work, no school, YAY!

PS: There is hardly any snow on the ground, two inches at most. But its okay... I'll take a day off!

Whoooo!!!!!!! Those are were my favourite days!!!!! Except I preferred mine with snow.

Sorry Krikit, it was a pretty good episode last night, some stories from the Peace Bridge!! Try and watch it online!!

It's snowing here too!!! And.. i'm starting to not feel as winded after my work outs! Yeah! I went out last night and got hand weights.. before this I was just doing the exercise without weights.. ugh. that's tough!!

Happy hump day everyone!! Lucky duckies with storm days.. i walk to work so that's not fair

If you ever don't have weights, you can use soup cans too!!

I am going to watch online. I really like the watching online thing - barring the fact that I have to sit at my computer to watch instead of the big television behind me .

So need to get a comp hooked up to that.

I just watched online. I was quite impressed with the quality of the video stream. The Peace Bridge segments brought back fond memories of home and I was intimately acquainted with that room they had that runaway senior in. It was good, Jill. Thank you.

I think it is right around the age when boys learn that girls, in fact do not have cooties that they loose all power over themselves they once had.

Glad you enjoyed it!! I almost cried when the Mexican lady was trying to get into the States with a perm res card that wasn't hers and they sent her back and she said she had no family, nowhere to live.... They banned her for 5 years. I know it's her own fault for trying to do something so stupid but I still felt so bad

[Krikit 1,164]

Well, you can stop feeling bad now because that only applied to the city they were returning her to. She had to make her way home from there. lol. I felt terrible that she had a tooth pulled just to try to get past immigration.

I find it really odd that electricity went up here by 25% effective this month and a note with the water bill says they are now raising that price too.

It's confusing to me how in this country, with a depression, other companies are forced to cut costs but when it comes to these companies they choose the most inopportune time to raise rates.

Two of the reasons the electricity company gave for the huge rate hike were:

1. They want to build a nuclear power plant

2. Unrecovered transport costs from high fuel costs last year.

Perhaps now is not the time to ding people with higher costs. Perhaps you should wait to build the nuclear plant.

As for the high fuel costs - whatever, you should have put a temporary rider on the bill perhaps - poor management there.

Plus, as we are not stupid, we do realize that you will recover those fuel costs and a gazillion dollars more in a few months, but you won't be lowering your rates.

I have yet to watch the show!!! But had a interesting experience going through USA customs back in the late 90's from Tijuana Mexico to San diego. We Were just coming back from Tijuana, in line to go through Customs, and these 2 Mexican fellows are like bent over,walking past everyone, they in stealth mode (lol) get up to the desk where the POE officers, and think they can just rush by the guards, not a chance. They got swarmed on by a pile of POE officers. Interesting to watch.

Still in line, we see 2 or 3 Gentleman running for the fence outside, with the POE officers in chase! Saw them climb the wire fence and get over, and thats al we could see from our viewpoint, but most likely they got caught as this took place in mid afternoon.

So I just watched the latest episode, I didn't really like it so much, I guess I don't find guys digging around automobiles for drugs that interesting.

I also felt sorry for the mexican woman who had been saving for 5 years to go to the States, illegally mind you and having a tooth pulled - anyway, it must be very hard to be a border patrol person as well.

Jill, are you the person who's from Oakville?

That one guy with the reciprocating saw just made himself look like an idiot.
