sorry you are upset, Jill -- I just have very strong feelings about people who come here from other countries and expect us to change our ways and heritage to whatever they left behind. I don't like seeing the RCMP in turbans and I don't want kids carrying knives to school, claiming they are ceremonial. I don't like the fact that God has been kicked out of our schools or any of the other changes that have been made because people who come here don't think they should try to adopt our culture as well as our country.

I was checking my email at the 'burp'; Yay dee and Jilli please don't take what nan said personally you are the most Canadian Canadian I know
2:11 am
jillibus

west, how can I not take it personally -- it was directed at me
2:12 am
westford

I didn't see it that way she seemed like she was talking about others
2:12 am
jillibus

But it was also directed at many of my friends who were also not born here but love this country and are good citizens.
2:13 am
westford

well I have no doubt that you do
2:13 am
jillibus

In her view only those born here are entitled to be Canadian -- others have no rights.
2:14 am
westford

my grandparents were born in Canada and were subjects of the Queen
2:15 am
westford

that confused some of the relatives..' I didn't know they were born in England' lol
2:15 am
jillibus

well, then they could be Canadian but if you weren't born here you could never be.
2:16 am
westford

that was in the 1880's
2:16 am
jillibus

Incidentally, I was born a British subject but the wording has been changed, I was told, and now it's British citizen.

2:21 am
jillibus

Lyn, she is, and says the likes of me have no right to change anything because we were not born here, so I am arequited to lie if I sing O Canada as it now exists (a revised version approved only in 1980) -- It says "my home and native land" -- I am not a native, nor are many others, so I sing "my home and favoured land", of which she does not approve. I am not discussing her, just those ideas.

the devestation in Chile is unbelievable
11:38 am
hurshy

what happened in chile?
11:39 am
SeaSpray

8.8 earthquake yesterday
11:39 am
Judi

That was a kick-ass earthquake. From what they've shown on CNN, Chile appears to be fairly modern. Doesn't seem to be poverty stricken like Haiti.
11:39 am
DR1965

8.8 earthquake
11:39 am
hurshy

oh dear
11:39 am
rururocks

I think the devastation was a bit worse in Haiti
11:39 am
DR1965

I think so too RURU
11:40 am
nrkii

Also Chile has had a bigger earthquake in the past, so I think they also must have built a lot of their buildings to withstand some of this
11:40 am
nrkii

Oh no, really ruru?
11:41 am
Judi

I heard on one report that most of the buildings in Chile are fairly new and built to withstand earthquakes because they are fairly common in the region. But, I don't think most buildings could survive an 8.8.
11:41 am
dcseain

yes, much lower quality construction in Haiti, worse economy, and fewer resources
11:41 am
rururocks

most of the tall buildings in Santiago were built very strongly to withstand giant earthquakes. I have been ther
11:41 am
nrkii

Shoot, I hate when the news reports the early news so optimistically -- I have not had a chance to catch up
11:41 am
SeaSpray

take a look at the pics on CNN, lots of buildings and roads completely gone
11:41 am
hurshy

well here's a first - found a word in morewords that enable doesn't take - usually they're so in sync
11:41 am

I can't even imagine 8.8... worst I ever went through was 6.7 I think
11:41 am

Concepcion was destroyed almost completely between quake and waves
11:42 am

11:43 am
Judi

6.7 is a pretty good shake. 8.8 must have seemed like the world was splitting in half.
11:43 am
hurshy

the first ta is a 4/4, the 5/10 after that is pl of it

11:45 am
hurshy

dear all, please note that lickety has fallen for it too and lists a th6/27 in the printable list that babble will not take
11:45 am
hurshy

yes, and in the non-printable list too
11:46 am
hurshy

note that he says there are 182 and babble only has 181
11:46 am

11:49 am

I was worried for Japan and Australia. They seemed to be in the tsunami path. Haven't heard anything, so must be no news is good news.

And, you are not invisible, Ata dear. Perhaps... enigmatic, but certainly not invisible.
11:52 am
Atalante

ooo I like enigmatic :D
11:53 am

Have we heard from any of our Aussie friends? Any wave action there?
11:53 am

My lenten resolution is to not get upset or swear at bad drivers; to say a prayer for their safety (and everyone else they are around) on the road. It's hard. Giving up the computer would be much worse

I'm not a person who *normally* swears; but some drivers have made me swear with their dangerous driving. It's been really hard to NOT yell at bad drivers; and to turn that adrenalin surge into a rayer has really made a difference in how *I* feel

2:54 pm
Minveryork

Enjoy it while it lasts Nancy Boy. Hope it lasts longer for you. How long have you been together Nancy Boy
2:55 pm
Nancy Boy

Been together for just over two years (on our two year anniversary he presented me with the key to his flat and asked me to move in) so living here is almost still a novelty. All the time I was at home, I had to keep it all very secret.
2:56 pm
hydra

Leo sounds so romantic!
2:57 pm
Nancy Boy

I wouldn't get disowned for just anyone, Hydra ;) I'll tell him you approve!
2:57 pm
Minveryork

That's great. Hubby and I lived together for a LONG time before we got married. We were engaged for 3 years, but lived together for a long time before that.
2:58 pm
Nancy Boy

I think that's the best way to go about it, Minver...have you two been together for a long time? If so, I'm willing to bet that's the secret of success!
2:58 pm
herekittykitty

Fireworks. I have to go in few minutes. anyone need any clues before I go.
2:58 pm

2:58 pm
hydra

I once got married to someone and didn't tell a soul, not even my parents. Three years later I got an equally secret divorce! Hi kitty. Didn't know you were here.
2:59 pm
herekittykitty

Hi hydra. had my head buried.
3:00 pm
Minveryork

So I'm confused. Your profile states you are 19 year old male.Are you babbling on boyfriend's account now
3:00 pm
Nef

We've been married for 35 years; did not live together before marriage and still feel like newlyweds *most* of the time. DH has cabin fever right now so he's a bit more demanding than normal
3:00 pm
Minveryork

Congratulations herekittykitty on fireworks! Hooray
3:00 pm
lynxxx

Good morning all. How intriguing Hydra
3:00 pm
Nancy Boy

That's incredible, Hydra! I couldn't keep a secret like that...I should have tried, but perhaps my parents might have started wondering where I was.
3:00 pm
hydra

Just got my fireworks too. Hi lynxxx!
3:00 pm
Nancy Boy

Nef, congratulations on staying together so long :)
3:00 pm

3:01 pm
lynxxx

I'll buy the book Hydra - Byee
3:01 pm
Nancy Boy

Hydra, I think you're great, but it's UNFAIR to drop a bomb like that and then leave!!
3:02 pm
herekittykitty

ahh Hydra. I have a similar story, spent a year with a man who had a "second" life. was a big secret and a waste.
3:02 pm
hydra

Oh (not quite gone yet), it wasn't hard, Nef, as I was living in a different city. Oh kitty, I can't go now! Tell us more! There's obviously more of it around than I thought.
3:02 pm
Nef

bye hyra
3:03 pm
Minveryork

Bye hydra! I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe
3:03 pm
herekittykitty

haha. he also lived in another city, and so we maintained two houses, with him spendng most time at mine.
3:04 pm
herekittykitty

the few times at was at his, was a very scheduled event. He had an exwife and children that i knew of, but during that time he reunited with her, that i didnt know of...
3:04 pm
Nef

Geez, it almost sounds like it's the same guy, kitty and hydra!
3:04 pm
herekittykitty

could be. it was a great con he had going!
3:04 pm
Nancy Boy

this is incredible, you two.
3:05 pm
herekittykitty

it is one of those things you hear about and think people cant pull off, but they can...esp when its a distance relationship.
3:06 pm
hydra

Good grief, how complicated. kitty! Mind you, I also had a child and almost managed to keep that a secret, too, till someone saw my enormous bump and told my sister. Nef, my 'husband' had married an American, had two kids that I knew nothing about, obtained a divorce in Reno that wasn't recognised in the UK, so in the States he was divorced and in Britain he was still married. He's commited 'trigamy' now. Your story is much more dramatic and interesting, kitty
3:06 pm
herekittykitty

since the cat is out of the bag, he is alone, and his wife and I are becoming great friends....

I did a paragraph of clues as I sat at 4/5 of my chair so here it is.I'm an aggresive driver. I am not the be 4/7 driver on this ea 5/12.I be4/7 my horn all of the time. When I drive my car,all be4/7 are off.I'm like a ch7/40 when I drive. It is not a tr5/10 to drive with hubby.He will wa5/22 everything I do. Hubby yells at me every time I drive, but I never want to he 4/5 it. Sometimes hubby and I will get into he4/5 arguments when I drive.Hubby yelling at me does not he4/5 the situation. I pl 4/5 with him to not yell at me. But it is ra4/4 for him to not yell at me when I am driving. He would ra5/12r yell at me than se6/18 for being quiet My hubby would ra 4/4 my driving a negative 10. He wonders how I ever passed driving te4/4.He thinks I am a he4/5 when I drive.Now he only le 4/4 me drive when he needs a designated driver. Hubby op4/5 for a designated drive a lot though.Sometimes I'd like to just kick him out of the car on his re 4/4 & have him call a taxi cab. However, I am careful when I drive in bad weather like sl 5/10. Then I drive slow because I have knots in my ch 5/14 and the he 5/12 palpitates from being nervous. So th4/5 is the end of my story. I have nothing el4/4 to say.I could get my butt in ge 4/6 and do some chores, but no, I ha 4/5 chores! I'll spend the rest of the day in and of out the ch4/6 log

I am also of the opinion that EVERYONE should sign their organ donor cards. It's not a decision your family should have to make at a time like that, but you can save/improve the lives of a lot of people.

I love your line "from sea to sea to sea" jilli. Who do we contact about making that the new line?
6:34 pm

Bugs, for starters your local MP ?

I am so proud of you for showing your patriotism that way jilli

my local MP is a goof
6:36 pm

Thanks, bugs -- I wish I knew who would pay any attention -- and I learned last night that there can be a very negative response to any change.

oh dear, bugs, well, even if he/she is a goof, perhaps your letter would be passed on
6:36 pm

6:39 pm

I did think it was sad that the U boys seemed so down. They could not have played any harder than they did and a silver medal is nothing to be disappointed in

6:41 pm

both teams played a great game, it was a thrill to watch
6:41 pm
Bugsaw

good point jmc. perhaps with time they will perk up and be proud of how they worked at such a rough game
6:43 pm
flosey

I think, with the exhaustion they must all have been feeling, it was quite a letdown, after the tie so close to the end of the game
6:43 pm
jillibus

oh, Virtue and Moir are on again (replay)
6:44 pm
Boobear

I saw them and they were fantastic
6:44 pm

they skate so beautifully together, and that Canada Goose bit (isn't that what they called it) was icing on the cake
6:44 pm

Even Olympic athletes who win often experience profound depression after the games. They spend so much of their lives in build up to that and then what? It's over and........?

At least if you lose and you're young enough you still have a goal.

Sooo much pressure is put on these kids, they were talking about that might be why the US nordic combined team did so well this year, because they are all old for athletes, in their 30s+
6:46 pm
Bugsaw

my son in Vancouver was worried about riotting when it went to overtime. It would have spoiled the whole thing if that had happened
6:47 pm
tfgrrl

THey've had kids etc. Know there is more to life. Same thing is often true with marathoners and other sports where athletes are allowed to mature past their 20s.
6:47 pm
Bugsaw

tfgrrl I thot older people were much better at the endurance things. I remember hearing that in long track traces
6:49 pm
Bugsaw

I assumed it meant they were better at enduring pain than younger ones. A nurse at the hospital told me they could always tell if people were under 21 or over 21 by the way they accepted that pain relief would not be instantaneous
6:49 pm
tfgrrl

Hmm and what do you think would be the Darwinian explanation for that? It has been noticed that Tri athletes and distance runners who go off and have kids (women) often come back stronger than ever.
6:50 pm

Don't you remember transition? Apparentlym just at the point where you are allowed to push, women get very cranky and usually berate their partners pretty badly. My ex said the first sign of my labour was transition.... :)

same here re hubbies not allowed in -- and when my son was born I had to remind them to let him know -- he had been sent home, and they had forgotten.
6:57 pm

6:57 pm

They sent him home? While you were in labor?
6:57 pm

Transition was described to - an experienced by - me as the feeling that you can't and WON'T do it!
6:57 pm
Bugsaw

I think my ex was referring to how I woke him up at 1:30 in the morning to say the baby was coming. He growled, "I KNOW it is coming. It has been coming for 9 months now." and I was not impressed with his level of excitement.
6:57 pm

Ghana skier Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong, more commonly known as Snow Leopard, on Saturday achieved his Olympic goal -- of not coming last in the slalom.
