Happy Birthday, Poppa Bear.

Happy 65th, Daddy. I love you. Congrats on finally being a receiver of an old-age pension and, as you so beautifully put it, "finally getting some of my god damned money back from the f*%^&$# government". Hee. What's this I hear about people mellowing with age? ;)

Also, I apparently defeat the entire purpose of yoga. I was doing this sort of happy- ( Read more... )

life, yoga, parentals, family, it's kind of a funny story, birthdays

Well, I haven't decided which colour I'm voting - probably orange or green - but I'm sure I'm going to vote for a change in the system. First past the gate just doesn't make much sense to me any more.

well.... We all know how well the Conservatives handled the last major Native standoff. *cough*DudleyGeorge*cough*.
Oy, yeah. Ugh.

HA! That icon is fantastic. Did you make that, and do you mind if I steal it?

All I know is, if we get another Tory in office, and he decides (because let's face it, Kim Campbell was the last shot at a female Tory with any sort of power) to "fix" things in Caledonia, the shitstorm is gonna take a helluva long time to settle down again.

(it was titled something appropriately far-out and new-Agey sounding, The Flummoxed Chrysanthemum or The Constipated Guinea Pig or something like that - basically, the "we are not worthy" from Wayne's World)

So glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read about your yoga adventures, because they made me lawl. I may even have rofled. And I know exactly what you mean - my mom took me to her yoga class once, and it was the single most un-relaxing hour of my life. I ended up sore, publicly humiliated, and with my knee jammed behind my back or some such thing. I don't even think I was doing anything so advanced as the Flummoxed Chrysanthemum. XD

Glad you could find amusement in my pain! XD

If you think The Flummoxed Chrysanthemum's a killer, wait until you try Giraffe With Pudding On Its Unmentionable Bits. Your arse-to-neck ratio will never be the same.

Happy birfday to yer Papa Bear!!! Yayayayayayay! *hugs to him from a complete stranger ( ... )

Lawlz. :D I'm sure Papa Bear would love you too, if he knew you!

Glad *someone* could laugh at my pain! XD

I think you could do it through Sarah... having her drag him there, and then him discovering (rather grudgingly) that he actually enjoys it? At least that's what my head thought.

Hehe. You is funny. *hugs* What I need to stop doing is watching American politics & Canadian politics at the same time, because I'll hear something about Texas being a "red state" and be all confused, because our colours are the opposite here - Libs are red, and the Tories (Conservatives) are blue. NDP's orange, and Green is... well, the obvious. Veddy confusing.

I'm voting Liberal, and against the MMP. I looked at the referendum website tonight, and although I don't like the idea of "one vote, one party, one candidate," the MMP system sounds too damn complicated to me.

And I hate how the other parties are practically crucifying McGuinty because of the health tax. Yeah, he broke a promise, but as far as I'm concerned, he had to do it because Mike Harris fucked the health care system up so badly. Just MHO.

Sounds like we'll have twin ballots on Wed, and for very similar reasons. :) My biggest issue with the MMP is that it gives a bunch more politicians jobs - politicians who aren't going to have to answer to *anybody*. The latter makes me very nervous, and the former just makes me go "why on earth would we want more politicians?!?" LOL!

Here here on the McGuinty health tax issue.
