Men's restrooms for the most part are ten times more disgusting than womens...lol I remember once back in Canada I was working night audit and the hotel was empty and I had to pee...for sake of adventure I went into the men's restroom....WHAT A DUMP it was horrible. on the women's side there is tons of stalls and nice little hand towels..I almost felt bad for them..needless to say I walked back to the women's restroom and went there.

I never even knew who she was until yesterday. We never had problems. They lived a few blocks over, so I never met her. The kid would just come around to play hockey with Ethan once in a while. Now he's picking on kids younger than he is. This is the first incident with Ethan, and hopefully the last.

While the mother and I argued her son stood behind her and was swearing at me calling me names. My son stood behind me quietly and didn't say a word. Shows you right there the boundaries she has for her son.

I would never swear at another adult ever as a child. I knew to respect my elders.


That's horrible!

Sounds like you need to go visit a library or get a dog to walk laughing.gif


That's the problem with this place...the only library is in downtown..the transit system makes no sense and I'm afraid to drive the Jeep (it's a bit of a beast)
In Winnipeg there were like 20 libraries and the buses made sense! lol I'm just suffering from massive boredom..I look forward to the days I clean the washrooms and such :|

I called NVC yesterday due to being anxious to see if I got an interview date (extremely early I know) and they said that they don't have access to the Embassy's system and the only people who can advise of interview dates is the Embassy itself. Now, I see people who call DOS (who I assume is NVC) and ask for interview dates and have received that information. So 1. I'm mad that someone is lying to me and 2. is this correct? lol


Calling DOS is a different kettle of fish - i'm sure someone will be along with the phone number good.gif



There are more phone numbers? Oh nelly

Well I can related to all of this. BUT does your f*cking boss go all around your work place saying you met a boy on the internet and that I have cyber sex and thats all I do in my spare time. Or does your boss say he's going to write a letter to immigration saying what a terrible person you are? When you hit that stage let me know what you do. Because I'm thinking assualt is the only solution.

Haha oh how I remember those days. Sometimes we'd get an entire bus tour at the hotel I worked at in Canada with NO warning at all! And they always ONLY spoke German. It was the worst!!!

They never tipped either because in Europe tipping isn't common. So whenever they'd come in I'd add the tip to the bills automatically for the servers. That was always an added bonus.


No offense to the German's out there but...THEY ARE THE WORST! Every year our hotel hosts the German's in for Folkorama and wow. They're rude, pushy, and don't understand the concept of licenced areas.

I don't like mobs of angry marathon runners. This woman just absolutely lost it because it took the kitchen an hour to get the groups food. But when you walk in with a group of 24 people with no warning thats what is going to happen. So rude, its your fault for not planning ahead.

I love my mother but she can be really overbearing at times.

She was supposed to come down and visit me at the end of June for a week and then bring Ethan back to Canada for the summer. But of course she decided that she couldn't make it down due to some retreat she is putting on for work so instead she wants to come down the next week. This is a problem because its on Canada day and I have already made plans to go to DC that day. Also on the 4th of July we'll be at my inlaws. So I tell my mother this and she asks me where my priorities are. Umm you're the one who decided to change your plans and now you expect me to accommodate them. You can't just do that. I don't think she realizes how unreasonable she can be at times, but of course she's probably thinking the same about me because I am not going to change my plans.

I understand she's my mother, but I have many plans for the first week of July. She doesn't seem to have it in her head that I am married and I have other priorities. sad.gif


Sounds like my mom. I'd say hold your ground because she was the one who changed her plans. But I know sometimes you just want to please your mom..

When did you get the tracking number beans? I think sometimes it can take a little while before it is actually available to be tracked (like a day)


It was put in the mail on Monday. Jeremy swears up and down thats the right tracking number. But it apparently doesn't work.
