I Tivo'd it -- I think it was HDNet that was playing it... so who knows. It would have been their 2005 Christmas Special. Did you love it as much as I did?? Who wouldn't LOVE a Barenaked Holiday! I taped it and sent it to NWFlyer last year. LOVE those guys!

Guess THAT 'splains why YOU'RE the Wing Man ... I bet your buddy got the nice ones ... 'Shell

mmmm....thought that we were going to have a bare nekkid shell there for a minute Oh, goodness, no! I'm too shy for that! 'Shell

I'll vouch for her too. Yep. Nice.

I'll vouch for her too. Yep. Nice.

Don't know if this is last years or if they did a new one this year - but there's a guy in the audience, right in the middle, with a "Freefly Pimp" shirt on I don't know. What channel are you watching??? I'll see if it's on here. It was on Christmas Eve here but I was at my baba's and didn't catch it. Edited to add - it's probably from 2005. 'Shell

My dad likes to tell me that when he and my mom were renovating the house, she would measure and tell him "It's an inch and a little one, a medium one, a little one, a bigger one, a little one, a medium one, a little one and really big one". Only my dad could figure that one out without looking at the tape measure. I thank god I don't measure like my mom. 'Shell

I'm very thankful that my father is a millwork estimator and taught me what all the little "marks" on my tape measure mean. I'm even more thankful that he also talked me into buying all the power tools I'll ever need to keep up my 50+ year old house. Now if I only had a floor sander, I'd be set. Now, back to replacing the hose on my nail gun and I'll be good to go! Should I use metric or imperial wrenches for that? I have both ... 'Shell

Ignorant Canadian on board here ... but I have to ask ... Do they (meaning companies, insurance companies and schools) REALLY ask that question where you live??? Yes, in the US, they do. The information is cataloged for purposes of EOE oversight. It's voluntary though, and in theory is not tracked for purposes of whether or not to hire etc. That is likely because Canada has a better way of dealing with the issue: by not asking the question in the first place. Well, they don't specifically ask "that" question but this appears below every job posting on their website. The University of Alberta hires on the basis of merit. We are committed to the principle of equity in employment. We welcome diversity and encourage applications from all qualified women and men, including persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and Aboriginal persons. If you hire on the basis of merit, do you have to state everything AFTER that?? I guess in this day and age, you do. I'm not sure WHY they have to state all that but there must be a reason. Which is sad. I do recall that the above statement was a bit different when I applied though ... it stated something like "we encourage applications from all qualified women, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities" (or something like that). Guess they've progressed since they now include men. Oh the "PC" world that we live in. 'Shell

Oh, sorry. TOTALLY a different random thread. Carry on!

LOTS of good stuff on sale. Totally random, of course. 'Shell

so is stitchy poo. I'll take $5 on the dog ... He always wins. You and the doggie will have to come to Idaho. I have a brokie leg. Oh, sorry about that. See my random attachment. He won't do well with you and a broken leg. But he sends his love.

'cuse me, princess. The "Bra Lounge" was completely random. So's this. And speaking of NOT being random, I believe you've already done the FedEx guy ... but I could be wrong. 'Shell

so is stitchy poo. I'll take $5 on the dog ... He always wins. 'Shell

Just the BEST STORE EVER 'Shell

I've got whipped cream. I'm only 700 or so miles away. Start driving. I'll leave the light on. Watch out for the dog. He's a little cranky. 'Shell

Okay, you had me at "Babyface" but Micheal Buble has an AMAZING voice for Christmas tunes. And some other songs too. Totally random thought, of course. 'Shell

Okay, you two are cracking me up. And making me wish we had "Bath and Body Works" up here. Guess I'll have to go to La Senza instead ... Thanks for the subliminal message about shopping, BTW ... 'Shell

We have that too. But we don't have a "race" box. Strange to hear that some countries do. 'Shell

But that only applies if you're a Treaty Indian and have your "card". And apologies to anyone that thinks that the term "Indian" is derogatory. I work with a girl that likes to remind me that she's a "Treaty Indian" and she can buy stuff on the Reserve without paying any taxes. She's funny too. 'Shell

REALLY??? Wow. I work at a University, in a student residence, and that is NOT a question we ask on our housing forms and, as far as I know, it isn't asked on their application to the University. Yes, the U will know what country you're applying from but your RACE isn't part of the equation. So what is the question they ask about your race??? Do they ask if you're white, black, hispanic? Seriously, I never knew that mattered. 'Shell

Ignorant Canadian on board here ... but I have to ask ... Do they (meaning companies, insurance companies and schools) REALLY ask that question where you live??? I have NEVER had that question asked of me. Then again, I haven't applied for a job in 18 years (but I know that where *I* work it's not a question on our application form) . I have had to fill out forms for insurance here and there and they have NEVER been asked that question. Marital status, yes, my birthdate, yes, but my RACE??? We have FOIPP here (Freedom of Information and Privacy Protection) and we can't ask ANYTHING about race, age, etc, when you "apply" for some things, especially a job. They can't (at least where I work) ask for your age or your birthdate. For loans, as far as I know, they can ask for your marital status but to ask for your RACE? Is that the norm south of the border that they can ask that question?? If it is. Wow. I had no idea. 'Shell

6 total, all dizzy.commers Hmm ... guess I'll go back and see if I can figure out the other 3. 'Shell

I only recognize 3 of you but there's probably more. I don't get out much. 'Shell

Happy Birthday Mike! Have a wonderful day!
