Tarzan's Jane

I drive a 2003 Jetta TDI and need to get ready for winter. The flyer for Canadian Tire has some on sale this week although as I said I have no clue what type to get. Your help is appreciated. Nancy

Great report...amazing pictures...I want to have breakfast on that deck...and good on you for giving two boys great memories.

Congrats Brian....IMHO, don't give up the cigs yet....maintain your weight for a bit first. Fluctuating in your weight is much harder on your system....good luck.

Yaaayyyy to us that do. I simply believe that capital punishment is wrong and outdated and proud that Canada does not have it. But hurt one of my own and you'll be begging our government to relocate your hard a s s. haha

woooohoooo! Girls rule Congrats

They are kids...and following their parents no doubt...therefore they likely had little choice but to go back. I think our government has a duty to help. It's being Canadian. If found guilty...then yes a punishment...but to behead!!! Never.

Yep...saw one many years ago working at Severn Lodge when I was 15. It had to be killed, another male worker standing nearby was frozen in fear so I was asked to get the shovel...I was given the tail as a souvenir to bring home and show my doubting family and friends....kept it in a sealed plastic container all summer...packing up on my last day, opened the container and that was the end of that...horrific smell!!

I was sure that you were gonna give the details....maybe I missed something - will reread it again...and this is not meant to be rude but I honestly did think that you were going to share some of that new knowledge with us...

I love the photo....'solitude' and 'promising' is what is says to me...there's something that draws you to want to sit on that bench and watch that slight clearing in the sky... Congrats...

Rock is quite the 'Rocker' hehehe love it!

Top of the Mornin to ya yo-guy and welcome to OFC....you had me doing some facial expressions this morning that's for sure...enjoyed your reports and I just gotta say how 'lucky' you were not to have lost your fingers....

Never give up...just try a different approach...the behaviour modification stuff I suggested is worth the try. All the best...

Congrats....talk to Gerritt, he knows all about making her look purdy!

Sorry....one more thing and likely the most important....rewards work better. Suggestion....start a chart with her...if she manages to get through even half the day without nibbling, then give her a star or whatever sticker you want to use...(I use to get the kids to draw a happy face)...at the end of the week you count the happy faces and the sad faces...if there are more happy faces then she gets a treat...could be Dairy Queen...could be a movie...whatever works...but rewards do WORK.

Well....those are HUGE consequences...what could you possibly come up with when 'real trouble' happens...as you well know, she is not doing this to spite you, you in some ways gave her 'your problem' and now you want to take a tough love stance on it...I just don't agree with the consequences. So...I've been thinking of some possibilities...take a favourite toy away for a couple of days....let her know that she'll never be permitted to wear nail-polish due to the possibility of being poisoned (I think it's okay to exaggerate this one a bit)...perhaps go on-line and see if you can find some 'gross pics' of infection caused by biting (not sure as I have never been a nail biter)... If your threats aren't working...relax...start off small with the consequences not full blown out hard line ones which will leave you no room to negotiate and this will not only frustrate you but her as well... Have a chat with your family physician...they may have some ideas.. Good Luck....but do relax with her

That is great news....you must all be so relieved. Wishing Diane a speedy recovery and a great vacation with you. And I couldn't agree with you more in regards to the gross disparity with what our athletes earn to that of our medical professionals and others as well whose contribution to society by far is true 'stardom'.

Your writing style is quite enjoyable....very nice pics...and I certainly can relate to Leslie ...thanks for sharing.

OMG...and I just finished some spaghetti...no word of a lie....there's a word for people like you haha I like mushrooms but not your kind

It is celestial....and it could be any number of possibilities.....like: Michael kicking butt to get to whoever, wherever, or a loved one keeping tabs on ya....or a deceased individual having a blast visiting special places that hold much meaning...

Congrats to you and the 'Warden'. I think JJ will fill your days...looks like he already has something to say...all the best.

And that's all the world needs...is just a little bit of love and kindness...hooray for Cookeville!!!

Very nice...congrats.

My mother was doing dishes in the kitchen sink...was thrown across the kitchen floor. I don't go near water in a storm, not even in the tub!!!

As per David Letterman with Oprah....our 60's is the new 40's! Happy Birthday Mr. Roy

That was an interesting read...wouldn't mind that job at all...
