----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday mish-mash It's Friday afternoon and I'm at work and you know what that means... Lots of free time for Reader to update. ---------------------------------------- Chocolate cake for breakfast? Right. Okay, the only one I did was the last one but still, it's nice to know I'm right. (although, really, I usually am right and the sooner everybody learns to keep THAT little thought in the front of their minds, the better.) ---------------------------------------- I've been playing poker online at pogo.com lately. I really wish it was an actual poker game because I tend to win more than I lose and I think I would be reasonably wealthy if I were playing for some cold, hard cash instead of tokens that have some freakish value that I am totally unaware of. Or for the purists out there...some freakish value of which I am totally unaware. Just the other day I doubled my $5000 stake in just 25 minutes. And I don't think it's irresponsible in the least that I have my 6 year old by my side yelling at me not to fold. Because... Everything I do is right. ----------------------------------------- I was reading an article in this week's MacLeans magazine, which is the Canadian equivalent to Time or Newsweek, that said that the province of Quebec is trying to pressure Canadian Prime Minister Harper to pony up some financial support for Quebec's social programs. Quebec, it appears, is in some dire financial straits and wants somewhat of a bailout from the federal government. Umm.... You mean from the federal government that you want to break away from to form your own country? The federal government that you have forced to hold referendum after referendum about your wishes to separate from the rest of the country? You want CANADA to help you so that you can have enough financial strength to walk away? But not totally away because you still want access to our armed forces and assorted other federal goodies. Yo! Quebec! And...you can leave everything that is ours behind. (P.S. The tease on the cover of the magazine made me laugh out loud...Le Deadbeat - Canada's economic basket case wants another handout...hee hee hee) (P.S.S. the "hee hee hee" was my editorial comment it did NOT say that on the cover.) ---------------------------------------- I've got my weigh-in tomorrow and that almost three frickin' pounds better be gone. I mean, seriously, I need it to be gone. Of course, I'll LIVE if it's not but I really want it to be gone. I have a tight schedule here and I can't afford random gains of almost three pounds. stupid weigh-ins. ----------------------------------------- So, I think the hubby is trying to "gaslight" me. After telling me on umpteen occasions that we can't afford this and can't afford that, he is currently "watching" about 8 different auctions on Ebay. Auctions for motorcycles...Motorcycles for ME!!! Now, Mrs. Loopy and I have a few theories... One - he is trying to use reverse psychology wherein his sudden acquiescence for a motorcycle will make me suddenly become the responsible one to veto the purchase. Whatever the method I am SO not going to say no to a motorcycle - and if he succeeds in driving me insane I'm sure Mrs. Loopy will convince me in my brain-addled state that I, in fact, do have a motorcycle and am riding it as we speak. Because that's what friends do - they encourage your hallucinations and help you live your dreams...or somethin' like that. 2:52 p.m. - 2007-03-16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- what you missed - what you're waiting for | |
