Good morning class Still busy with the 16 week fitness challenge. Starting week 6. This thing seems to consume most of my time and eating those 5 small meals a day to keep the metabolism fired up is rather difficult especially on the weekends when I prefer to sleep in. It is a holiday here in Canada on July 1 so the gym will be packed which I hate. I would like to see all statutory holidays eliminated including Christmas. Speaking of Christmas I always thought that that Scrooge guy was a softee.  Have a good day fellow grumps.

Wow, a Charles Dickens and an anti-drug reference... you two are funny. Yet another travel/trip fiasco with my kids. As you may remember, about a month ago my daughter missed her flight from Vancouver, BC to here costing me an addition 100 or so dollars. (Her previous flight here last year was also missed d/t the stack-up at the border, that time she had to take a bus to fly out of Seattle, more $ needed to be shelled out). Well this time my son was to leave out of Vancouver saturday morning and of course waited until the last minute to look for his passport... and couldn't find it. His mother called to break the news, and thank goodness my wife answered the phone, cause I don't think I would've been very pleasant to her. So, I get to eat a lot more airfare monies and not sure when he'll be able to get here, still has not found the passport. Ugh! |

Once a year crunching the numbers for income tax is enough for me. My brain turn into those fried eggs, but slightly more burnt. I feel your pain VC. Hey Fub- I hear you have a garbage strike in TO? Hope you don't have any unpleasant aromas wafting through your windows! It really kinda sucks now that we need a passport to travel to the US. Even Americans need one to re-enter the US from Canada, as you are now experiencing first hand jsml. I guess you can't be too careful though....but it does kinda suck that we have changed things due to the terrorists. |

Ya it is too bad about the travel woes JS. If that was my son I would be a bit disappointed in him and I would be annoyed at his mother for not helping him get organized. Even when they are adult kids, kids are still kids. A week into the garbage strike and except for some litter on the streets there is not to much difference where I am. I hope the city lets them strike for weeks. In Windsor they have been on strike for 10 weeks. It is about time they stand up to greedy public employee unions. My wife is in the public sector(hydro) and she even thinks these union types are unreasonable. This whole passport thing seems like a big cash grab from the two greedy governments. I don't think it effects terrorists in the least. It isn't real hard to get a passport real or fake. I am trying to cut out coffee this week as it is affecting my sleep and right now my nerves are frayed so any little thing sets me off into a rant.

Rant away Fub... you do it so eloquently with just the right amount of sarcasm and humor. And your right about my son, disappoint with him. He's 16 and should be more responsible. But, his mother should have been more proactive with keeping important documents safeguarded. Oh well, this too will pass. And so will the garbage strike... hopefully before it gets to hot there-heat and trash make a nasty odor! Off to win some money on the golf course. Have a great day all. |

Hey VC - that class is ALMOST over - hang in there (we know you are) and wow you will be officially algebraic in just a week or two!

Good morning and Happy Canada Day. I still have to go to the gym, my wife is in bed sleeping and the gym will be packed with people that should be at work. Just another day in paradise.

I am glad that the holiday is over so MY gym will not be crowded today. I am looking forward to my workout whereas yesterday I hated it. We are all coming up to 6 months in the next couple of weeks. Glad we could do this together.

In all seriousness, time seems to have slowed down immensely recently. I wasn't sure if it was related to the approaching date or something else, but i found it interesting. Cheers, people. | |

Wow yeah, this class of January is hitting 6 months soon! Who'd a thunk it? Congrads to everybody! We're leaving Saturday for 2 weeks. Doing a bit of camping, fishing, boating in the B.C. interior and visiting friends/family. The camping should be interesting, these folks are big time drinkers. No way I'm gonna screw up though.. it's a choice and I choose not to drink. It's only very recently that I've started to realize how much alcohol was really affecting my health...digestion, liver, brain, malnutrition, etc etc.. The old body has mended itself somewhat over the last 6 months, and I'm sure amazed that the problems I was having while drinking, have totally cleared up and disappeared. I didn't really realize how sick the alcohol was making me. Even when I looked in the mirror at the yellow face staring back at me.. it never fully sank in. It has sunk in now, and I don't want to go back there ever. You all be good now, and way to go!!! You all deserve medals in my book. |

Have a good holiday Richard. Although camping isn't my idea of fun for those that enjoy it I know it is wonderful. I do love the scenery and where you are going is beautiful. At least so I hear. I kinda like one day hiking trips and then back to the comfortable bed. Anytime I did camp also involved a lot of drinking. We used to take cots and our stereo and although we had a tent we would get a site with electricity. We always went to the local diner to eat so we didn't need a camping stove and even that was roughing it for me. Gotta laugh at us city slickers. It would be nice if we could all meet somewhere for our one year anniversary. If anyone else is interested I am game. I never have much going on anyways. Retiring real young has its advantages and disadvantages. I can afford to go now also since I have been saving my beer money.

I can not stop laughin...........tears are flowing...........dude, we have to meet. Ok all.......you know how much I think of each and every one in the class. I have to come clean,,,,,,,,,,,don't know why, maybe Fub's thought of everyone's 6 month thing. I am not in that club anymore,,,,,I had a drink on my birthday in May and carried it on after that. Not bad,,,,,,,not like I used to be, but I am still not happy about it. I hope to make a new start again and if you guys want me to find a new class, I will, no worries. I hope I have not upset anyone, especially Richard, we were quiting pals,,,,,,I am so proud of you....keep up the great work,,,,,,,,KB love you ......JSM.....trying to get there......Fub.......you know I love you......you guys take a vote........I will stay if you want me to, love ya........crying now.

As far as I am concerned you are in the class as long as you want to be VC. I only want what is best for you and ditto for everyone in the class. Don't feel guilty or bad or feel that you have failed us or yourself.
