I can't believe they've been actually apart for 2 years.... That is what is states in the divorce documents. So when they went to Hawaii last year to "renew their vows" it was a complete sham, just so they could milk a free trip to Hawaii. When they renewed their vows they were already seperated, I think I just lost all respect that I had for them

Are you sure the Hawaii trip wasn't before the separation? It does take a while between filming and airing. Also, if they were basically living separate lives but still "together" the official date of separation can be based on that date as opposed to the filing date or the moving out date.


Yeah the Hawaii trip was last year, and they started living apart 2 years ago (living in seperate bedrooms, having problems). So the official date of separation was before they renewed their vows.

Maybe they were hopeful it would rekindle the relationship.


Or they wanted to take advantage of the free trip to Hawaii, all expenses paid by TLC tongue.gif

On another note, my son is a huge fan of the killers. He knows every album, every lyric and what colour Brandan Flowers boxers are.. okay I'm lying about the last one but you catch my drift. Anyways I was looking for tickets for a nearby show for him but they were all sold out. I noticed there was a show in Toronto in September a day before he is set to leave grandmas. So I decided to try and there were tickets left! So my husband and I will go up to Toronto on the Sunday, we'll all stay the night in a hotel there and come back on Monday with Ethan. On Sunday night Ethan can go see the Killers with his grandma. My mom has never seen him rock out at a show before so she is in for a treat.

I just printed out the tickets and showed him and it reminded me of the time my mom bought me tickets to NKOTB... he got super happy and started jumping around and hugging me to death. laughing.gif


Oh and may I add I got the official seal of: "coolest mom ever" from him... coolest mom until tomorrow when he gets annoyed with me for some odd reason again.. tongue.gif

Pets..... talk to me and we will see.....
Special note: We will not accept inquiries from, "BOYFRIENDS or Special Male Friends" of women who may be interested in this apartment as we are tired of pimps trying to find their 'girls' a nice place to stay. So if you're a woman and serious about the apartment there are two owners of this building, myself and my partner and either of us would be happy to talk with you and show you the space


Needless to say we will be staying out of that area LOL!!!

He has seriously taken on such a fatherly role for Ethan when he didn't have to and I really do appreciate it. I don't like hallmark holidays but I figure why not show him that I truly do appreciate him teaching Ethan to play hockey, going to games, cheering him on and generally being there for Ethan even now when Ethan is 10 and starting to become full of attitude.

I am really excited about doing this. I am going to go to the apple store tomorrow. biggrin.gif

I've considered LASIK as well...my eyes are really bad! If I dont have my contacts, things that are 1 ft infront of me or less is blurry. However, I hate wearing glasses. I have small frame glasses and I hate that I can only see whats in the lens in front of me, and the surrounding is blurry. I get tunnel vision quite easily and refuse to wear huge glasses. So this means I wear my contacts for up to 16 hours a day. First thing I put in, last thing I take out. I'm sure this is damaging my eyes even more!

Is anybody willing to share their script? I'm at -5.5 in both eyes for my contacts, and I believe my glasses are even worse! (at my last check-up, 3 years ago anyways. Its probably worse now)


I'm -6.25 in both eyes. Everything near and far is a blur. I wear contacts most of the time, I don't like glasses at all they bother me. So I only wear them at night before bed really.

Does anyone have any experience with Lasik eye surgery? I'm really considering it, as I'm so tired of my really poor eyesight which gets worse by the year. I am so blind and cannot function without my contacts and/or glasses. Even getting up in the night to use the washroom, I must have my glasses on. Anyway, I'm seriously considering Lasik. Just wondering if anyone has had it? I've heard tons of positives, a few negatives too.

I'm probably a total nutcase but yesterday I went down to the licensing place and watched people do the maneuvering part of the test. A bit later I discretely followed one of the testers to see what roads they went down. ph34r.gif

So, this morning before I got up I kept hearing the mother cat outside calling and calling. When I got up and went out to feed her and the former tom cat and her kitten - the three that are hanging around the back yard - the two adult cats show up but the kitten is no where to be seen. I search the bushes and around the area where the kitten has been the last few weeks and nothing. The mother cat keeps wandering around the back porch meowing for the kitten as well. Great, I think, something has happened to this kitten as well! I start looking to see if I can find a body or signs of what might have happened, but nothing. I volunteered this morning for a summer camp programme so I got ready in my period clothes (ala 1800!), loaded things in the car and just reluctant to leave, I took one more trip into the back yard. From the side yard I look and can't see anything, and then my eye catches the open drain that is in the back yard for all of the hill run off - the drain that is connected to the sewer. I go over and look in - and there looking back at me from the curve in the drain about 18" down are a pair of blue eyes in black fur. I reach and pull out the kitten - wet and sorry looking- but alive and alright! I take him over to the food dish and put him down, and Momma cat comes running and they touch noses. So, finally, I leave for my commitment and mamma cat and kitten are both washing kitten drying off its fur. My mind shudders to think what would have happened to the kitten if I didn't do that last look around and see the drain. I have since covered the drain and will work out something to keep it safe but also allow the water to run off. When I came home, the kitten was hungry again - and looked nicely fluffed dry.


ohmy.gif Kathryn! Thank goodness you found the kitten, Momma cat is probably so happy to have her baby back. You are a sweet person!

I think for me the shame & embarrassment comes from not being prepared for such a violation. In the case of my medical I was not anticipating stripping down and having a Dr. look me over from head to toe.. that just wasn't "normal" for any of the protocol for US Medicals that I've read about..

Same thing applies for this case.. you go across the border and you certainly don't expect to bear all for the guards.. it's all in the anticipation I think.


I agree with you. As it is, I get so nervous and anxious crossing any border, I don't know why I just do. I have nothing to hide and am always truthful, I just feel intimidated. I think if that happened to me, I would truly be tramatized and would never want to leave Canada again in fear of what would happen when I returned.

So the only way for them to tell if she is really the criminal is by looking at her butt for a tattoo? What about fingerprints? And so everytime she leaves and re-enter the country, she will be subject to arrest just due to having the same name as a criminal? The only solution, they said is for her to change her name?
