Bedtime Proposals
On my wedding day I came to the rescue of a woman who'd gotten hit by a car. It was in the parking lot of the grocery store. My sister and I were running in to buy oodles of wine for the "big event". By the time we heard the sirens knowing the ambulance was on its way, holding the woman in my arms to keep her warm I told her she was now in good hands and I had to run if I didn't want to be late to my wedding! My sister was peeved, she was just standing there shivering and c-c-c-c-cold! It was an awesome day and an awesome night. My wedding ring got crushed and destroyed because I played war with all my friends kids! Such fond memories... you really do need a ring though. I have a lot of them since I needed to replace the wave ring we'd bought during our honeymoon prior to getting married. Ain't life grand?— February 10, 2013 4:29 p.m.
Canadian Nice
Just walk in and yell something cliche'ly Canadian like "Got any maple syrup handy?" or "Can you see Vancouver from Montreal?" or "Anybody got a tooney they can spare?" and you'll know instantly who's who and who's not who... ;)— January 31, 2013 12:37 p.m.
Canadian Nice
How odd that I'm a Canadian and one of my fave bars in San Diego happens to be the Waterfront! My husband discovered it one night as he was waiting for my roller derby practice to be over, it became our thing, I'd skate and get bruised while he had a few cocktails at the Waterfront. Hmm. Now I hope he wasn't hooking up! p.s. it's ok to ask Canadians about Mexican food, until I met my beau Old el Paso was Mexican!— January 30, 2013 1:52 p.m.
Observation Hour
You're not a bad person. A bad person walks away sans emotion from such an event. I adopted from a shelter once. Walked in there with my roommates, and we were hell bent on leaving with a dog. Once we entered the cage area, we fell apart. How do you choose but one dog? And trust me, these dogs know exactly what's going on every time somebody enters the room, they know a new human walks in, and one of their buds will leave. Forever. We basically chose a group of dogs, entered the cage, played with them then backed up and asked them "Who wants to come home with us?" One dog jumped up and placed his front paws on my friends legs. And he was the chosen one. There's way too many abandoned animals out there. This place you went to sounds way overloaded. Do they recruit volunteer dog walkers? That could be cool... help put a smile on a puppy's face for a day (oh yeah, they smile). I live on a boat, until I move to land, I can't have a dog... Life choices huh?— October 3, 2012 1:02 p.m.
How to Make a Living as a Ghost Writer
Ghost writer! How cool. I love hearing about fascinating and varied occupational titles. I'm just now trying to poke my big toe in the writing world, I actually have my first official paid article that was published this week! Thanks for sharing your story, it's always inspiring to read about somebody's success!— July 16, 2012 6:59 p.m.
I Dig Dragons
You know, just the other day I was thinking how True Blood has just about every mythical creature in it's line up. But it needs dragons. Don't you agree? And I'm sorry you don't share common love on TV shows. It's such a major part of the relationship culture! We get to reference the same stuff, share inside jokes, compare life stuff to TV shows. Sigh. We just finished working our way through Game of Thrones. Getting ready to watch the 2 entire seasons again. I'd get lost in the language (I'm not stupid, I'm just French). Am I wrong to have felt sadness over Drogo's death (serial killer, rapist, etc.) but felt no emotion when whatshisname had his head cut off in front of his daughters?— July 14, 2012 6:16 p.m.
Pony
I love it when stuff like this happens! It gets my blood flowing, tingles my spine, makes me talk in a very annoying high pitch tone ( you probably don't hear it, but even my comment is taking that allure in my head). Happenstance. It's the shits.— July 14, 2012 6:03 p.m.
The Nerve
So... does that mean I should call my mom and tell her she can't stay at your house next week? Wish I'd read this before telling her you'd also help pay for her plane ticket.— July 14, 2012 5:58 p.m.
Ms. Fortune on Deck
We docked at Harbor Island for a year. Every time I'd see that "haaar" pirate ship going by at night I always wondered about the neon flashing lights and where they fit into the pirate theme... I've never been on it, but I have sipped on Capt Morgan as it blasted its lights on my mast many a night.— May 30, 2012 8:55 p.m.
France in an Instant
Right now I'd love to teleport my congestion out of me. Where do I sign up for the power of teleportation?— May 30, 2012 8:43 p.m.
