SIMPLE MATH!...

...so our Premier needs to get his brain checked out. The government needs to pay Bay Ferries $3 Million as part of an agreement regardless of if the boat runs or not...and now we've proposed coming up with the other $3 Million needed to run the boat this season......AND HE SAID NO! What on earth is wrong with this man? Does he hate us cause we didn't vote NDP and haven't for years? It sure seems like it! It's the same money....$3 Million for nothing or $3 Million to run the boat....THIS IS ABSURD!

Do I think having "The Cat" as a ferry is necessary - NO. Do I think having A ferry is necessary - YES. The easiest solution is to have the Cat run this summer and then have something else in place for next summer. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING????? Oh right, you're not...and you're going to ruin NS...and once your 4 years are up, guess what Darrell? BYE BYE.

Just wondering...

...so I made lasagna last night and started to wonder why do the noodles have a frill? Is there a reason? Why not just flat as it would serve the same purpose? Hum....

Hot water...

...so it seems like Yarmouth's Frank Anderson and Richard Hurlburt are in hot water. See the Chronicle Herald article in today's edition: http://thechronicleherald.ca/Front/1169186.html

It's funny how money seems to be going missing all over the town of Yarmouth, yet these two men seem to have so much. I don't want to speculate on what I think is going on, but I will say that I think greed is an awful thing. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how all this goes down.

Empire...

...so I went to the movies last night and, of course, had some popcorn! I went to put some butter from one of the 4 butter dispensers only to find that only one of them had butter. Why? Why have 4 dispensers and only use one? They never have all 4 working. If they don't intend on using them then why not just have 1? I get there, set my pop down, hold my bag under the dispenser and nothing....then pick everything up and do it again and the next one over and nothing...then do this a third time, this time annoyed and still nothing. THe only one that worked was the one furthest away from the concession stands...why? WHat's so hard about putting a sign that says "out of service" on those that don't work...or even..."out of butter"....why make me walk all over the place on the hunt for butter?

The need for speed...

...so i've been addicted to the Olympics, as I'm sure most of you are too. It's been exciting thus far and I'm still waiting to watch my favorite sport, Aerials! I think it starts next week so i'll keep you posted.

I guess there's one thing that bothers me and it's the Men's Speedskating Attire. I'm not sure those men should be wearing those outfits cause I don't find it very attractive. I thought the "Camel Toe" was reserved for women....well not anymore. If you're not sure what a "Camel Toe" is then google it...hum....not attractive on a big screen and especially not on males. I guess the male version will known be known as the "Hoof Print" or even "Moose Paw" as SRadiation liked to call it!

Girth...

...so in the paper today there's an article about Director, Kevin Smith, aka "Silent Bob" who was ejected from his Southwest Airlines flight cause of his girth. The pilot said he was too fat to fit in the seat comfortably. (http://thechronicleherald.ca/Front/9015245.html)

Now I don't think that's the pilot's decision. If he wants to smoosh in one seat and he's not bothering anyone then who's business is it? I have big hips and i'd be MORTIFIED if they threw me out because of my size. Besides, the seats are small to begin with so who's fault is it? I think the airlines better watch out cause this guy could make a movie out of this and humiliate them instead of vice versa.

Dave Carroll, a NS Musician did that to United Airlines. They broke his guitar while he was traveling with his brother's band, The Sons of Maxwell. He warned them that he'd make a song and a video if they didn't help him....they didn't take him seriously and voila, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo&feature=fvw ....almost 8 Million hits and i've seen this guy on "The View"!

"United, United
You broke my Taylor guitar
United, United
Some big help you are
You broke it, you should fix it
You’re liable, just admit it
I should have flown with someone else or
GONE BY CAR…
Cause United Breaks Guitars!" - Dave Carroll

Timmies...

...so I was reading the news and came across this article (http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/cbc/100208/canada/canada_newbrunswick_nb_tims_bans_customer) regarding a customer being banned from a Timmies in NB. It says that he complained that his decaf tasted burnt and the owner sent him a letter banning him from that Timmies. Now, I don't think it was right to ban him cause I've actually had the same complaint. The Decaf at Timmies does taste like the bottom of an ashtray if it's been sitting too long. I've said this many times...and I also ask them to get me a fresh cup if I feel the decaf is old. I always thought that the reason it tastes bad is because it is never as fresh as regular coffee since regular coffee is more popular thus it being a fresh pot all the time. Didn't I discuss this in a post before??

Maybe Timmies should look into this....and ban someone for complaining about the taste...PLEASE....there is worse things in life than this. It's not like the man is violent or anything. He just wants a fresh cup of coffee - something Timmies prides itself on.

My note...

...so I wrote a note on my facebook. It's a little letter....here it is if you missed it:

Hi Chris,

I'm having a real hard time with the news of all these outrageous spending claims. Chronicle Herald (http://thechronicleherald.ca/Front/9015080.html) Seems to me if there were fewer greedy claims than maybe we could gather up enough to save the ferry! I hope Mr. Hurlburt has passed on his home address to you so that you can circle it around to all of us cause apparently we're invited over there the next time the power goes out! I'll bring the coffee if you bring Mr. MacDonald's Flat Screen TV that we payed for when he was in office! Maybe we could pick up Mr. Dexter's digital camera to take pictures of all of us while we're there and then use his laptops to download them...oh and then we can print them with Mr. MacDonalds printer...that could all be set up on Minister John MacDonell's custom-made desk! I have a lot of respect for you so I hope you're name doesn't show up on the list. Let's all just try to be honest and maybe you could pass that message along to your colleagues too.

Have a great day,
Lise

Commericals....

...so the Superbowl is this weekend and it's allllll about the commercials. One of my favs is Budweiser's Parody from the commercial "WAZZZZZZUUUUUP!" Remember that one??

Here's the Parody called "What are you doing?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DkIk2NKEHs

hahahaha...makes me laugh everytime!

Just plain ridiculous...

...so news has broke of the politicians spending habits. It's absolutely ridiculous! Here's the article: http://thechronicleherald.ca/Front/9015080.html

To Mr. Hurburt: When the power goes out, please plug in the coffee kettle cause i'll be over to make use of the generator installed at your house that MY TAX MONEY has helped pay for!

To Mr. MacDonald: I'm telling you right now, PAY BACK THE MONEY FOR THE FLAT SCREEN TV. Don't wait till the Auditor General asks you to do so....I can't see what reason on earth would justify you getting a TV from me and all the other taxpayers. The rest of us buy our own newspapers or go online to get our news...no need to wath it on a large, flat screen tv...and furthermore, you're not even in office anymore so why the hell do you even still have it???

And here's a quote from the article:
"The priciest item on the latter list was $13,445 for custom-made office furniture. Natural Re­sources Minister John MacDo­nell said Wednesday it was his, and he offered this message to his Hants East constituents T hurs­day: “My constituents, to me, are probably the most important peo­ple I deal with, so for them, I would definitely like to apologize if this excessive spending seems to be a real issue, and it wasn’t my intent," he said. "

IT WAS TOTALLY YOUR INTENT...what the hell do you need "Custom-Made Office Furniture" for????? The rest of us use bargain priced furniture or hand me downs....grow up!

It's funny cause we're supposed to address these people as the "Honorable" whoever....what's so friggen honorable about all this deceit??!!! No more Honorable anyone anymore. You're Mr. Whoever....that's it....

Quit thinking you guys are above all of us....we're all peers....grow up cause I know my 3 yr old knows better than this...that's real sad.

Sorry...

...so I ran out of windshield washer fluid. I must appologize to all vehicles in front of me as I need to tailgate in order to get enough spray to make my wipers work to clear my windshield. This will occur until hubby put more in the buggy...I feel like it's his job :P

Blue...

...so the other night I was singing to Blake before he went to bed. He loves it when someone sings to him to fall asleep. That night I was singing:

"I love you Blakie
Oh yes I do
I don't love anyone
As much as you
When you're not with me
I'm blue
ohhhhh Blakie I love you!"


When I got to the end of the song he started to sob! I couldn't console him and when I asked what was wrong he kept saying "Nuttin' Momma...sing again" so I started up the same song. He would stop crying when I started but by the end he was crying again. This time he was really crying and I had to hold him and hug him and I was grilling him as to what was wrong. By the fourth time I noticed he started crying at the line "when you're not with me, I'm Blue" so I asked him if that's what was making him upset. He said "yes momma (amidst the tears)...I don't want you to turn BLUE!!" .............BAHAHAHAHAHA...so of course I had to explain that I didn't turn the color blue, it was that I am simply sad when he's not with me!

Ohhhh Kids....they're quite literal, eh?
