Happy Holidays to all

I wanted to take this time to wish a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all my friends, family and readers of my site. Everyone has been very supportive in a lot of different ways this year, in a year where very significant changes have happened in my life.

Why I don’t celebrate Christmas (by Kara)

A friend of mine from work doesn’t celebrate Christmas, but she is a very religious Christian, so I was intrigued by this revelation. She is an amazing person with one of the biggest hearts, and very well read, so I wanted to share with you her reasons for not celebrating Christmas. Facts: Christmas is not ...

Canadian flag removal disgraceful

The Newfoundland and Labrador premier Danny Williams should be ashamed of himself for taking down the Canadian flags because he feels Ottawa hasn’t offered him a fair deal on offshore revenue. I think this is the most disrespectful thing he can do to his country, and the worst possible way to resolve the conflict.Link to ...

Airport Officials out of work

I predict there will be many US airport officials leaving their jobs in the near future. The Transportation Security Administration announced yesterday that it is modifying Pat-down procedures at airports to exclude patting down breasts unless the handheld metal detector goes off or if there is an irregularity in the passenger’s clothing outline.

He wants something romantic, just not too personal. He asks the girlfriend’s younger sister to come along to advise on hand size and color. After much ...

Crazy Cabby

I was on my way to the Royal York hotel last night for yet another Christmas party, and the cab driver that was taking us definitely had a few loose screws. From the second we got in the cab, he spoke in a casual monotone manner and basically explained to us that Cab drivers are ...

Bush named ‘Person of the Year’

George W. Bush has been named Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year”. When I browse to CNN, you would normally see something like this as the main news article, but it was bumped down to the second most important news article, because the car bombing in Iraq today that killed 40 people took priority. I ...

Bonus payment = Party time

Today our work Christmas bonuses were deposited into our bank accounts. Coincidentally, this afternoon is also our department Christmas party starting at 12:00PM. The tradition every year is to go to the nudey bar after the Christmas party, so I’m not sure if this bonus payment is a blessing or a curse 😉 PS: For ...
