there was this guy.
one day he went to work and found that a new girl had started working with him at his office.
her name was clearly and she was absolutely gorgeous.
I thought it may not be a big deal to bring back this thread from about 5 yrs. ago.
Prisca - yes, she had her moments. But she never minced words and shot straight from the hip.
Having met her in-person, I have to admit.....I was impressed with her.
She doesn't suffer fools gladly; but she's a darling of a person.
And YES, I can't get that damn song out of my head either .
Missing PRISCA!
living in the wilderness means i don`t have access to a lot of things unless i bring them here..a good internet hook-up,is one of them........right now i`m on telephone dial up..........it is so slow!........sometimes i want to do this!....then this!......but..then i would`nt have an internet connection at all!.............so..i`m thinking of getting a satellite internet hook-up..it`s supposed to be very fast!...........does any one here have "satellite internet" hook-up?..or..experience with it?.....................outlaw
Just back from southern Alberta.
OK, OK..I know, I know, it's not the same as where you are.
British Columbia is a HUGE province with more mountains than you can imagine; thus the cable/live antennae receiver question.
Satellite connection.
Who provides that sort of deal there OUTLAW.
My pals north of Calgary are with BELL. For their Satellite hook-up.
Are there any alternatives? Telus? or ... here's a long shot (if you've even cared to read this) - who provides CBC radio service where you are?
Don't laugh; whether you like them/love them/hate them: They have transmitters EVERYWHERE in CANADA. Even in places where there's more rodents than humans.
If you do get ANY CBC feed; you can bet that as much as you'll get an AM/FM/SW signal where you are - it's coming from a satellite feed.
Contact (toll free) 1-866-306-INFO (4636)
They can give you some information about satelitte service. Not that you'll get a free ride, but perhaps they can (ahem!) via your interest, boost their satellite feed into your area (free of charge). No guarantee - but it is worth a try even if it means a piggy-back on their across-the-nation wi-fi even in the woods of British Columbia.
I'm going to inquire here (as I know some local CBC folks) about this.
See if there's some 'convenient feed' you can tap into. Of course, being that British Columbia is bigger than most countries in Europe etc., and I do not know your specific coordinants - well ... again, I can understand your reticence.
I'll post here, post info as I come across it.
Best of luck Outlaw.
I'm not much inclined into 'Noah' and his possible blood grouping, but just the same I've always been intrigued by the Rh Positive and rh negative blood groups.
There are four alpha groups to start with; then there's the breakdown between Rh+ and rh- ; there's other breakdowns as well within each.
Fascinating topic: blood groups.
Why is there an Rh protein on the alleles of the blood groups?
Why is there not an Rh protein on others?
How did this come to be?
how did britain get to be third on the medals table?
that was a bit unexpected.
and beating the australians as well - they won't be pleased about that.
Simon: you are tired.
So am I.
YOU must've been out in the same damn intense desert-heat I was the past few days.
Anyways, as of 05:47 a.m. (EST) Canada has 13 medals.
Simon, you're staring into the Bow River again - what are you looking at? Tsk! Tsk!
Anyways, some nations tend to do better in the 2cnd week; typical with Canada.
We've surpassed Athens 2004 medal total; not Atlanta's.
Simon, you are correct: Canada's Winter Olympic medal count is superb; we were 3rd overall at Turin, Italy.
As far as Great Britain - I remember how much flack the folks in the U.K. took over the 1996 showing. People, give it a rest! Sometimes, some years - it's good / it's bad.
What's our population now? 33-34 million (Canada). Consider many factors; and other variables that enhance or negate a nation's performance and you can see why they do well - or poorly.
But I think the United Kingdom/Great Britain is doing well and I think my fellow Canucks would tell them to keep the Strongbow on-ice until all the nay-sayers have taken an enema.
Brits: ENJOY!
.
very cool- looking forward to seeing pictures.. i hope your sunburn gets better, ouch!
Shamus...we'll do Bingo in Ponoka, like I did many years ago, where the local First Nations' folks were yelling at the Bingo Caller about 'how fast' he was calling out the numbers'; 'call out the numbers they wanted'. Too funny!!
I have a couple of pics from Sunday night in Airdrie, AB. - and well others too - but hey!
Like Sarah McLachlan's song: "Building A Mystery" - hey...that's what us Canucks do best - - - from east to west - - - and everywhere in-between (metaphor). for the slags.
We'll probably head down to a few oddly named places such as: Medicine Hat (been there); Manyberries (close to it); Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump (next visit); Red Deer (been there too many times); Indian Cabins (on the way to Yellowknife, NT.).
I'll let Shamus100 call the shots on this .
Take my word for everything previously said.
I'm planning my next Alberta trip already; he'll be in the mix for sure.
Probably have to tag some marmots or prairie dogs (stop shooting those things out there folks, please...really!). Or maybe having to see about how to chill a Kokanee. (real western Canadians will know the double meaning of this)
.
very cool- looking forward to seeing pictures.. i hope your sunburn gets better, ouch!
Filthy minded scoundrels.
We weren't close to 'those' mountains.
Tsk! Tsk!
Shamus100 climbs them; I just stare at them.
OK...I wonder where this is going to go?
http://www.cnn.com/2008/showbiz/music/08/10/hayes.obit/index.html.
(cnn) -- soul singer and arranger isaac hayes, who won grammy awards and an oscar for the theme from the 1971 action film "shaft," has died, sheriff's officials in memphis, tennessee, reported sunday.
singer issac hayes seen performing in the u.k. last year.
What a shame, and he wasn't really that old either. I believe: 65.
Geez, what a pity.
Yes, he was the voice of 'Chef' on South Park.
His music, words and lyrics will continually live on.
Absolutely!
i'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet: .

I was at work around 4:00 A.M., and as my co-workers and I are cleaning-up and restocking our fridges, I heard a huge 'ROAR' then a 'Shake'.
I remember saying: "What was that??"
I believe I was about 10 kilometres from the explosion, but I heard it.
Can't believe how intense it was; the 401 (major 16 lane expressway that crosses east-west across the city) was closed extensively, yes right up until I am posting this message.
Sad to hear one of our EMS fellows, was killed this afternoon at the scene.
It was pretty bad.
Like Finally-Free, we're a ways away from it (20kms). But my neighbours said they could feel the windows shake here this a.m..
oh boy, my legs are burning!.
we bought mountain bikes last weekend and have been out every other day or so.
today we went without the kids on a much further ride up some steep hills and along some lovely pathways.. i used to ride road bikes a lot (10-20 years ago) and go on 5-6 hour rides with groups but this is very different ... i need to keep practicing and will then think about getting a nice cervelo or something to do the jasper to banff ride.. for now, i'm happy to just get home each time!
But, if you know anything about the Toronto Beaches in the eastend of this city; don't laugh. Some of thoes inclines from Queen Street up to either Kingston Road or Gerrard Street, will leave you feeling like you've reached the summit of one of the Rocky Mountains.
GOOD: Simon, keep pedalling. It's good for you.
Jasper to Banff. I have done the reverse, in a car which was dead easy 16 years ago.
Now I am headed out to Alberta again, but I doubt I'll have access to a bicycle. Wish I did, would love to try to pedal the foothills near where I am staying.
I know Shamus100 is an avid cyclist/mountain climber.
That not withstanding, still...good on ya! for pedalling some of those wicked hills there in southern Alberta.
5+ years i have been here off and on?
yeah, something like that.. interesting stuff happens; predictably, over-and-over-and-over-and-over again.
geez...some things just never change.. moderating.
Shamus....even if he did (Simon) - he'd pull my finger too!
I'd be happy to meet him and Angharad.
