The only times you'll see me getting up in the middle of the night will be to either: a) pee , or b) get to the airport for an early flight to Playa!

sloths and lemurs...the one you're thinking of was an aye aye. I believe it fits into the lemur category more than the sloth category.

I just think that both are cool, interesting, ugly-cute animals.

and of course it gets dark in canuckistan, but if you fell back another hour it would be dark at 4 PM, or earlier, eh??
ugh
we are on standard time now, let it be and don't change the clock and nobody is gonna notice


never have celebrated any holidays
never, and i like it
if there are children around, i will get them a present, maybe
if they are nice to me
holidays do not stress me out at all, i like them
otherwise nasty people try to be nice, that's a good thing

In Mexico when we go in winter it gets dark roughly the same time as here at home.

I actually would prefer it get light out EARLIER here and dark earlier, as I drive to work at 6:15-7:15 on very busy highway and it would be nice to be lighter out, it's much safer.


I guess there is just no pleasing everyone.


Why do you call it canuckistan? it's Canada. Be nice. I don't call where you live 'mexinarco' or mexicartel' or something like that.

Nothing wrong with my sense of ha ha...assuming something is actually funny.

Calling it 'canuckistan' and 'amerika' has just gotten old and tired...it's disrespectful and I was just curious why you do it. That is all.

My sister just moved back here after living in Canada for 6 years and she always refers to it as 'Can-AH-dia', which I find annoying and I don't even know why.

I like it getting light earlier in the morning to.
Mostly cause that is when I run and driving to work as well.

I know I find it icky when some one throws a K in there to (Sorry Snaps - it is old) - but if it thrills you go right ahead !

That is a strange way to say it! She must have been living 'down east'.....

Confession: I do sometimes go Christmas shopping at 5 am, but that is about my limit. At 3 am, why even go to sleep at all?

The whole Match experience is proving interesting. About 25 men have contacted me, and I get the feeling that some of them don't want me to talk to anyone else even before we have had a single date.

And I agree it's more respectful to call a country by it's correct name.

My MIL and wife's aunt do the midnight and 1 or 2 am store openings occasionally, but more because they make a night out of it by downing some brandy beforehand and "going out" for the night and getting hauled around to the stores by their hubbies for fun and maybe to catch a deal or two...but more for people watching under the influence. They don't bother with the early morning crazies stampedes.

Your description of Match is exactly what I've heard from a few of my friends that have tried it: interesting. But, they've all liked it. They say it's a good weeding out process to use that is relatively painless usually. They've all reported both good and bad dates...a few multiple daters. But overall, they find it a good way just to get out and do stuff.

One of Bean's friends just got engaged from a Match find from 3 years ago. They're a very cute couple.
