If ya let him get away with it now...He will do it again!!! lol

but they are so good!

i'm sure carla will be around to post the coffee tomorrow, so everyone should be safe.

Good morning everyone! Well charles....it's funny you should say that! I posted a cup of coffee one morning, as I have for hmm...what? Probably a year now? and flames said it looked like someone had drank from it! I looked, and looked...and indeed, there was a drip on the rim of the cup so looked like someone had sipped from it. Of course flames pointed it out to me, and the grossness of it. Believe it or not, since then, I always look to make sure that it looks like a "fresh" cup! Too funny!

Well, this morning I'll post something different since I'm very homesick these past few days.

Billed as Canada’s largest coffee pot, it is capable of holding 150,000 8-ounce cups of coffee.

Because Davidson is the “midway point” between Saskatoon, Regina & Moose Jaw, the coffee pot attraction was commissioned to symbolize Davidson's friendliness & famous prairie hospitality. Before Highway 11 was twinned, it passed through Davidson which was a popular rest stop when traveling between the two cities. In fact, the town still plays host when groups from those cities need to have a meeting.

There you go...

I have such a busy week this week getting chores done and wrapping up my volunteer work before my vacation which starts Friday! Best get busy! Enjoy your day everyone!

Wow! The amount of times I have travelled back and forth to Saskatoon from Regina on Hwy 11 and never noticed the huge coffee pot! I usually stop there for gas or for A&W. I am going to look for it the next time I head up there!

Have a great day everyone! My day is ending in a few hours...so sick of these night shifts!

morning all.. more and more house hunting drama continues.. man.. I could give you an rant.. but it's not the "appropriate" place to do that, so i'll just be happy to have the lease signed and to move in next month.. geesh.

[trailmix 77]

Being in a different time zone is so weird! Its only 2 hours but my internal clock is all confused... and I don't know when all all of my favorite TV shows are on.

Good morning all!

Huggle - I still don't even know what channel anything is on really. Just find the food channel

yep.. for my medical for K-1 they literally measured my tattoo and i had to give the Dr. the name of the flower that was on the tat.. It was humiliating for me to have him to get out a ruler and measure it (I was stripped down and standing in front of him (my tattoo is on my back)).. horrible, but I guess necessary in the name of "national security..)..

And just to be fair.. this is the Canadian Border guards..

Weird. My tattoo is big and on my arm, and they never asked me about it.

SUE E, SUE!

at the time hubby was SUPER angry about it.. it was a humiliating experience for me..

The dr. said he had to report all birth marks & tats as per the US's orders..

[JillA 2]

That's so wierd! They never asked me about my tat and I do have birth marks too on my legs and maybe they wrote it down, but didn't ask. I think it would be humiliating to have to show your heiney to a border guard.

This was the medical physician.. but it was still humiliating.. and from what you gals are saying unnecessary!

Gimme a break!! her namer matched an alleged criminal! So they did their jobs and checked!! Sure a pic works, but people do come up with good disguises. People like their freedom and to feel safe, but not at their expense!!

So the only way for them to tell if she is really the criminal is by looking at her butt for a tattoo? What about fingerprints? And so everytime she leaves and re-enter the country, she will be subject to arrest just due to having the same name as a criminal? The only solution, they said is for her to change her name? That's ridiculous

I do that to cute guys sometimes...

"um excuse me I'm going to have see your bare a$$ in order to determine your true identity..."

Always works.
