Actually I'd just assumed those were some kind of phallic, "penetrating" reference as well, and brushed them off as such.  I didn't know there were gas fields named for men also.  Hmmm.    ;)

love    (the mills are, regrettably, still a cruel reality.)

Hmm... on my way to work I don't think there ARE any local (or non-chain) coffee outlets, except for a couple of gas stations (which are also chains) and a mom-&-pop convenience store which is usually not open yet, at that time of the morning.  But it's a good reminder to patronize local...

Wow... what a mind-bending experience - irrevocably so.  I can't even imagine what thoughts and emotions would be coursing through her, amid the shock.  I know at some point I'd be thinking back with some concern at the wine & spiked coffees consumed in the previous nine months. A co-worker of...

That reminds me - the entrance to the drive-thru at Findlay Creek is the opposite of intuitive... at least 2 left turns and 2 right, in very tight quarters - and that's after the initial turn into their parking lot.  Maybe it's meant to get you disoriented so you'll buy more cookies.  :dunno:   

Tim's tea seems to be a hot-button issue... someone else was complaining about Timmies' indiscretion with the three varieties of orange pekoe, and I had ranted earlier about the scalding temperature & need for ice cubes - oh, there were complaints at the time, but I endured.  :duel:    I...

An easy sell for most, but perhaps not for those who have a lot to gain (financially, in the short term) from polluting, and doing so with few regulatory impediments. As for communicating... well, that's just crazy talk!    ;) 

Hmmm... interesting.  What I'd like to know is, WHY?  And how do we rank among countries with similar population density and geographic challenges?  (Eg. places like Baffin Island, where everything goes through satellite.) I live in the country, about 4-5 km from the nearest "nodes" - at...

1.  Worst:  the new franchise at Findlay Creek, in south Ottawa.  Their cookies tend to be hard, and burnt around the edges.  (Such problems...  ::) ) 2.  Best:  most of them are fine.  I like the people at the one in Winchester Ont., but the lineups are often 10-15 min. 3.  Favourite...

"overreaction message" ... heh heh, yes exactly. 

FYI the centralized website is up, for members of the public to request speakers or CF participation for Remembrance Day and National Veterans' Week events (5-11 Nov 2012).  You start by filling in your postal code, & then it gives options for where your speaker could come from; once you click...

Yoga clothes are NOT designed for any but the fit & toned... consequently I do yoga in a t-shirt & sweats.  ;D

Actually, it was you who gave me the idea, from your earlier post about DAG screenings.  At any rate, I wasn't thinking of CF-as-parent, but more along the lines of cases where they simply don't know, as seems to have happened here.  But it's hopefully an isolated set of circumstances & soldiers...

I often wonder if politicians are educated in a LOT of things.  If what we're going for is well-rounded, there are a few other areas of study that could be represented as well - literature, history, the sciences, languages, engineering and several others.  And not only that, but politicians...

Are Canadian soldiers currently tested for pregnancy as part of their pre-depl medical?  (the female ones....)

Well, if a woman is in a war zone and if she hasn't had sex since her last night home, I'm *guessing* she probably remembers the date when she left home!  She probably told the medics and they counted forward from there.  [Edit:  unless the child was conceived even earlier... or maybe they did...

:nod:  Agreed.  My first thought was maybe DFAIT, in which case it's pretty much NCR or nothing, domestically.  The OP has accepted that there may be personal expense, & does not appear to be asking for a free ride along the lines of other IR/anti-IR discussions on this site.  And at any...

Agreed - & geez, I hate that blank stare!  If someone doesn't know what you're talking about, why don't they just say "I'm not sure what you mean" & then try to paraphrase?  .... mutter, mutter....
