It is a great way to affect people (or rather: infect people with love and getting back to being present in the moment)

I love Spirit's spirit. You can make honey outta shite sister, and that's something to be appreciated and honoured (RE> the offensive thread on illegal immigrants). So Bravo for Empress Spirit. You have my respect, my lady.

I graciously bow before you and am receiving your kind appreciation.

Thank you!

One day I may tell you all about a great story...it's about the words "my lady".

Interesting that you would choose that expression Len. :D

What am I, chopped liver? :lol: I only wish Spirit's natural ebullience was more contagious. :thumbs: Empress Spirit, that sounds kewl if just a bit Imperialist. Seriously, no one can question her integrity or motives. :thumbs: Now my sister on the other hand...did I tell you how much I luv my sister. :lol: *realizes that she's going to kill me* :lol: Making honey outta shite that's easy. First we compost, then we plant the fruits, flowers and veggies and the bees do the rest. Oh, I forgot, my sister hates plants. You monster!!!! :lol:

Okay okay okay...I am seriously in pain from laughing so hard that tears were not enough; my laughing muscles got a cramp!

Hahaha!

First I's like to say that with almost every single post of yours, Mumsie, I am looking up a new word to add to my vocabulary.

I believed I had a good range.

I pale in comparison.

So thank you for that, as well as what it meant. And thank you for all you wrote. Awwww shucks... :blush:

The title "Empress" was spawned because of my over-zealous approach to adding some light-hearted shtuff to that Off Topic thread about undocumented workers in the U.S. I spoke about my fantasy about the Nirvana I would like to create when I am emporer. Hee, hee.

I like the way that sounds, "Empress Spirit". :D

I didn't even make chopped liver!

Ha! Oh you are most definitely more than chopped liver!

Oh dear Gods..... sensitive much, are we in the Canada forum today????

Mumsie: Shut up.

Lizetta: you know I :wub: you, so shut up too.

Mumsie: Again, shut up (just thinking ADD here...)

Spirit was making some really nasty people look like the idiots they are, and that is almost unheard of. She never lost her coooooool B) and was a total :star: about it. So much so, that I did not have to go in and rage. So again, thanks Empress

Well all you happy campers....we went to the bank.

Yes - we went to the Royal Bank.

This really belongs in the vent thread, but oh well, I will try to keep it tame.

1 HOUR AND 25 MINUTES. First of all Marco didn't really know much about the Centura account (I knew more from reading online than he did methinks).

Marco is also quite kind and very long winded, yet slightly impatient too. It was so seriously boring. Marco has this very bland office he is a neat freak, so there weren't even like any cute toys on the computer monitor to look at.

So we just sat there watching him input info in the computer and signing stuff and - well you get the picture.

After that we gaily skipped over to the registry office to get our driver's abstracts.

The nicer part was we then went to bestbuy and bought a laptop. It will be my computer once we set it up.

Then we went to A&W and got a burger and fries, haven't had fries in months, so that was nice.

Got home and the phone rang, didn't recognize the number so didn't answer, then 1/2 an hour later they called back, so I called them back at the number displayed. Guess who it was. Marco. He wants me to call the IRS and ask if I am a W8 or a W9. I said why, does that have a taxation implication Marco?? You know, Marco doesn't really know, he didn't say that, just told me he needs it for the form, so please call the IRS and ask them for an explanation :lol: . However after a brief google search I now know that I am neither.

Anyway, I won't be calling the IRS or Marco before Monday anyway.

I know I'm rambling, but I also know you guys wanted me to share all that with you :hehe:

I may have told you Trailmix that although Centura is kinda a Royal Banky thingie, you need to open a brand new account.

Ir's silly.

Why have that type of partnership??

Bleh!

Too bad things are so complicated and take soooooooooo long.

At least you put a dent in it.

Yes, we did know we would have to open a new account with the RBC - we don't actually bank with them normally. I said to Marco when we got there that I understood we also need to have a Canadian account open. Marco told me that I was jumping ahead - this is a paperwork process etc etc etc - then about 40 minutes later he says "to open the Centura account you will need a Canadian account opened as well" :lol:

Honestly it takes less time to do sale of house papers than it does to open a Centura account with Marco (btw, the account still isn't open, paperwork process you know).

It was funny, when we went to the registry office to get our abstracts (we thought this might assist with getting U.S. auto insurance, also getting a letter from our current auto ins company) - the guy prints them off then says "you are both clean" :lol:

Oh and good morning!

Folks, I must admit [hangs head in shame] that I am about to mend my ways..... :unsure:

I, the queen of java, is going DECAF.

Yes, you heard right. I decided that I am way too effing jumpy, and thought that maybe, just maybe the 3 pots of French Roast a day might just have something to do with it. :cry:

Len, decaffenaited. :(
