Actually, Quebec is very beautiful. If it weren't so darn cold, I would live there myself. ....is this coming from a Southern? ...hard to believe you would even consider it... have you been up here visiting? Just kidding. The only place I have been to in Canada is Victoria. Go figure. I almost made it to Toronto if that counts. Why would I leave Mecca? I mean, do you realize how many people have and are moving here? My goodness, we are almost at 5 million souls. And 4.2 million of them are stuck in traffic right now.

Well I for one think Toronto should start an air attack on Quebec and keep it up until they drive out the French or at least until the UN drafts a resolution telling them to stop which they can ignore.
I learned something. Now I know it isn't Quebecian.

UN resolutions. They have created a bunch of peace in years gone by, haven't they? The French. Do not get me started. Hey, want to do something fun? Google "French Military Victories" and click the "I feel Lucky" link. Surprise! France has never had a military victory.

Back in my premed days when I worked as a nurse's aide, I had to catharticize people every day. I was pretty good at it. Even so, there was this one guy that was just impossible. I remember another guy who was on a bad LSD trip and He had pulled out his cathartic and it was one with a 30cc balloon! That had to hurt. Anyway, it took four people to hold him down and while I was in mid procedure, one of his legs got free from one of the nurses. That definitely hurt. I almost passed out from the impact with the wall.
I avoid cathartics if I can.

When I get over this mess, there are three guys I am going to track down, torture and then let them live in misery.
1. The guy who invented the MRI. I am not amused with his contraption.
2. The guy who invented radiation therapy procedures.
3. The guy who invented cathartics. You will have to use your imagination as to what I am going to do to him. It involves a meter long section of rigid copper tubing, 1/4 inch OD.

You need to look for the guy that invented NMR and also the guy who stole his idea and renamed it MRI to avoid patent infringement.
Why copper? Seems an odd choice. It will definitely leave fingerprints.

I will use a bowling ball instead When you have finished with it I will use it on the gynacologist who sewed me up too tight after my first baby. I said to him that SF was painful and he said "I probably sewed you up too tight but it'll be fine if you keep using it" Sheesh, make that one of those gym exercise balls.

I have not made it to my mother's yet. We are still at my sister's in Houston. We plan to go to see my mother on the weekend. DDs are fine and watching Bambi on DVD. They haven't gotten to the bad part yet. WW is coming down with a cold or flu. I went to get a replacement part for my Chevy and the guy asked me for the VIN number. I asked why. He said he could do nothing without the VIN number. I told him it was a little hard to go look up. I even brought the broken part with me. Not good enough. Not without a VIN number.

Where is the Chevy? In SA?
Todd, keep the joke to yourself.
Pio, your mother will be able to read over your shoulder instead of having to lurk.

If your wife is coming down with a cold, go to the grocery or drug store and get her some Cold-Eze lozenges. They work every time to make the cold go away - if you take them when you are first getting sick.

Actually, the VIN tells almost everything about a car. It will tell the engine size, package that came with the car, and even about the gas tank.
I bet you all thought that the VIN was just a random number.

I know what a VIN number is. I just remember the old days when you went to the auto parts store, thumbed through a catalog and found what you needed. I bought a Harley in Dubai that had a Canadian VIN. Apparently it is easier to import Canadian VIN numbers into the USA that foreign VIN numbers. I never knew that before I bought the Harley. Harley actually reserves those number in advance.
