I wanted to come here and thank all of you for your patience, I know I've been distant. I'm so happy right now.
A picture in a bikini, is worth a thousand thank yous.

Yup.

And yup.

But... I'm not letting it get to me like I used to. Trying more to just not give a damn.

Baby baby baby.................this is the island of misfit toys, everybody fits in here. Your funk is our pleasure. The things that make you an uptight product of a Catholic upbringing is what makes the antisipation of you breaking loose topless on the beach with Juan all the more worth tuning in for. You know what I mean? We all know that if Riss was single she would bang the buss boy on the beach, but you a either a fire cracker or an atomic bomb, we are just waiting for the show.

What I am trying to say is, that we love ya babe. Take a break, do whatever ya wan't, but always come back to the island

So it's 90 days but with no Employment Insurance at all- mothers have to take it with no pay?

You are legally guaranteed to have your job safe for the full year too. Frankly, when it first came in, many employers were pissed about it...it is tough to lose female workers for the full year!....but they adjusted and I think overall it is a good law.

Of course some women only take 6 or 9 months but most take the full year, and why not, right?


No, I never really feel like I don't fit in although I am well aware some don't like me...I am outspoken and sarcastic, and not everyone is going to like everyone else in life, so it doesn't bother me, c'est la vie....and do I ever get burnt out? Ask me after 50K posts.

actually I do, but it usually passes after a few hours.



I finished the BEST book, Paddling to the Amazon, this morning! Amazing. Two men canoed over 12,000 miles from Winnipeg Manitoba to Belem Brazil...wow.

You only feel a kinship with those who also feel out of place here?

Hey, that offends me...are you trying to say I am a slut? My slut days are long over.

Speaking of which....I went for a beer a few weeks ago with Don and a couple of his buddies, and for some reason we got on the topic of 'how many partners'....well, these guys had BOTH slept with over 100 women. They are happily married with kids now, this was mostly back in their early twenties.....they are not Don Juans, just regular looking guys....I was blown away by those numbers....

Rarely get PI burnout because it keeps me sane and not feeling so isolated in my windowless office 9 freaking hours a day. I don't feel out of place here, but like Riss I know there are some who don't like me. It just doesn't bother me. Plus, I like the combo of randomness here and politics there. It's nutritious.
