That's how I got kicked out of the Folk Guild.

I don't know what that is, but it's an hour and half before kick off and the tequila has all gone along with most of the big bottle of Canadian whiskey and now HID is sending me out to get more beer. It's like they're all back in college. Hope the pizzas arrive soon. HID and the other wives are about to take off and going to the pictures. :lol:

OMG. :eek: :cool:

There's two people sleeping in my bed and one on my settee and there are two semi-atomic pistols left on my kitchen counter. I suspect there may be some frantic cals this morning.

Wear gloves if handling them. You now are in possession of 2 x items that you could use to your advantage possibly years down the road;)
What sort of company are you keeping?
I guess you might be in for a few freebies if you return them?
The possibilities are endless :lol:

Better make sure he's a citizen first. :lol:

Car sharing sounds good in theory. Problem I have is there is hardly ever a car within walking distance....:lol: If I have to hop on transit for 10 mins, may as well just take transit all the way..

Granted if one lives downtown there are lots of cars pretty much 24/7.

Less so outside the downtown core.

Good in theory, but not so great in reality.

It all turned out okay in the end when we woke up, everything went back to the rightful owners. But, thank goodness I have two swivel chairs that turn into beds in my study. Secondly, I take it all back, they ate and drank everything except for the chocolate cake and I don't eat that. :(

I thought you lived in Vancouver? Shouldn’t you have woken up surrounded by people doing yoga and applying beard oil? With a couple of bongs on the kitchen counter? Does no-one live up to a stereotype anymore?

Semi atomic? All that booze AND you split atoms?

Never noticed before, but when the washer spins the lights dim....



Doctors appointments can be tough sometimes, I only get my work schedule 2-3 weeks in advance, and some of these doctors book 3-4 months out which makes it hard to guarantee I'll have that day off.


Apparently next Monday is a provincial holiday, sucks since we only get holiday pay on federal stats. :(


And I hate US companies (seems to be most popular with them) obsession with text verification to recover a password, not everyone has the ability to receive these sorts of texts especially when the customer is not in the US with a US service provider, if your going to do business with international customers find a way that works for them......

Walnut Whips aren't what they used to be. Thin chocolate, no inner walnut. Tiny.

Inner walnut? I only know of them with one on top.

Definitely smaller.

It's a long while since I've had one but there used to be another walnut inside stuck to the bottom layer of chocolate. The choccie itself used to be at least twice as thick as it is now. You could stick your tongue in and get all the marshmallows stuff out before eating the shell. Those were the days.
