Sob, sob, sniff - Why isn't anyone talking to me. sniff, sniff

[yvr girl]

Don't hate me because I have health care.

[Emops]

1. What are you, Canadian?

[yvr girl]

5. I am honoured by your reply neighbour.

What is your favourite colour?

(does my spelling give me away)

[HEyHEY]

49. Yeah, she is. What are you and your fucking cat gonna do about it?

;-)

[MnFats]

2. Should I hate you because you're beautiful?

Never mind. Just thinking of that stupid TV ad.

[yvr girl]

10. I will claim sexy eyes and a nice smile

The rest is not for me to judge.

[pres2032]

3. hello!

what would you like to talk about? :-)

[yvr girl]

11. Something shocking or something frivolous

You pick.

[pres2032]

17. ever been dinny skipping?

trying not to get this great post locked, but trying to meet your regulations.... :silly:

[yvr girl]

21. I have, several times

I've also tanned in such a way as to avoid tan lines.

How about you?

[pres2032]

22. ah, ok

i have not and alas I am ashamed :cry:

[yvr girl]

25. I'm not as brazen as I sound

Generally, I was either shrouded in darkness or off in a very private spot.

There was the incident with the boat of Greek fisherman, but I'll never see them again. They all waved from their boat.

[pres2032]

28. lol

i was thinking that, i don't know you, but i don't think you'd do it at a popular beach, like in lake michigan or something (sorry, don't know which lake you're closest too, if any).

I bet you made those fishermen's day. :-)

[yvr girl]

33. Oh, it was a popular beach

at a Provincial campground. It just wasn't a really warm day. (There had been frost on the ground in the morning.) We found a place sheltered by high grasses that was much warmer. You're so much crazier when you're 16.

[pres2032]

37. ah ok

that you are, though after 3 and quarter years of college, i've certianly done more things that i wouldn't have done when i was 16. it's also harder when you're a guy, i have no intention whatsoever of going with another guy and it's kinda hard finding a girl that's up to the task (i have not asked any, by the way)

[yvr girl]

41. What's up with guys?

Two straigh girls can tan naked and no one thinks anything of it. Two guys are too afraid to even contemplate the idea.

[pres2032]

44. who knows

must be in our genes or something, i imagine society has had a say in the whole thing as well

[pres2032]

24. i will add that

being in eastern PA doesn't afford many opportunities for that, esp if one does not own a pool.

[yvr girl]

27. Courage!

My first exposure to topless tanning was at a regular public beach at a lake. OK, my friend and I were the only ones there (it was an unusually cold June.) That is until the birdwatcher showed up.

[pres2032]

32. heh

so you just wrecked my above post about you not going to a public beach. oh well...

hehe, "birdwatcher" huh? ;-)

[yvr girl]

34. That was his claim

We were semi-clothed when he showed up. (Semi-clothed = pretending our underwear was a bathing suit - we hadn't planned on a beach outing.)

We were always suspicious of his hobby.

[pres2032]

38. yeah

"we were always suspicious.." leads me to think that you know him?? or am i mis-reading that??

i'd be suspicious nonetheless of some random person showing up too.

[yvr girl]

40. Didn't know him

Some old guy (40's - I was 16 at the time)

[pres2032]

43. ah ok

a bit wierd, me thinks i'd leave too

[pres2032]

54. time for bed

have a goodnight yvr girl! nice chatting with you, even if that was the most random convo i've ever had.
Catch you around DU! :hi: :yourock:

[yvr girl]

56. Sweet Dreams pres 2032

I'm an abstract random kind of girl

Later.

[ogradda]

4. you have health care?

wow i'm talking to someone who can still afford health care...

[yvr girl]

13. I'm Canadian

It's practically free. Thank you Tommy Douglas.

[LibertyorDeath]

6. What do you want to talk about? Do you think our shitstain of

a Premier will get re-elected?

Gordon (yes that's the first time I ever drove drunk & just happened to get caught) Campbell

[Emops]

7. How about some Canadian humor (er, humour)?

Ha ha! I'm crushing your head!!!

[pres2032]

8. love the picture of cheney and the cat!

[yvr girl]

12. I think you can almost guarantee that they will lose seats

Of course, they could hardly win more.

[auntAgonist]

9. gee and "I" thought it was just me eh?

Canadian living in USA , AND I have healthcare, it's costly but at least I have it. Hello neighbour! It's an honour to wave to you!

[yvr girl]

14. I'm waving back

:hi:

[Emops]

15. Canada had a political party called

the Progressive Conservatives.:shrug:

Oh, and Stephen Harper looks like an idiot.



And thus ends my astute commentary on Canadian politics.

[yvr girl]

18. They're not Progressive anymore

Once upon a time, there was a Conservative party. Somewhere along the line they became the Progressive Conservative party. I'm not sure why, my guess, marketing ploy.

Then there was a PM called Mulroney, who killed the PC party. It fractured. It became two parties, PC's and Reform.

The Reform Party changed their name too. They became the Alliance Party, again not sure why.

The two conservative parties realized that they had no hope of achieving federal power when the right was splintered. They began talks to reunite. They almost called themselves the "Canadian Reform Alliance Party." Yes, that's right CRAP. Cooler heads prevailed and they settled on plain old Conservative Party.

They didn't regain power, but the united party did allow for Canadians to spank the naughty, scandal-ridden liberal party - a minority government.

End of today's lesson.

[glarius]

19. The P.Cs were swallowed up by the Canadian Alliance (right wing) party

BUT....they will never govern Canada....They will always be a minority...We are just NOT inclined in that direction....Our governing party is the Liberal Party of Canada....Can you imagine anything so bold? A party actually calling itself "liberal"?...In the USA that's a dirty word, I know....I wish you the best and pray Kerry is elected to replace the moron in the White House....:)

[HEyHEY]

16. Health Care? I hate you cause you can go down to The Irish Heather ....

And get a kick-ass servinc of colcannon whenever you want!

[yvr girl]

20. I suppose I could...I'm guessing it's a beer.

Not familiar with the brand. I'm not much of a beer person. I like wheat beer and Corona.

Last time I was in an Irish pub, I ordered a Guinness. Big mistake. I followed it with a root beer chaser. The bartender was equally horrified and amused.

[HEyHEY]

46. It's a kick-arse way to make mashed potatoes

[yvr girl]

55. Really?

arse? Are you part Brit?

[HEyHEY]

57. Irish

My Mom's family is from Belfast (Not my mom, she was born here)

You take cabage and all sorts of other stuff - it's good

[yvr girl]

61. My maternal great grandmother was Irish

She made more Italian food though, because my great grandfather was Italian.

Many would say that anything mixed with cabbage is bad, but not me. I am the only person I know who regularly ate boiled cabbage as a child. Better than turnips anyway.

[kermujin]

23. another b.c. canuck here...

former yvr-ite; now living in bucolic bliss in the gulf islands. :)

and our shitstain of a premier had *better* not get re-elected. ech.

anyway, another wave for ya, neighbour!

[yvr girl]

29. Well, the one thing you can guarantee in BC

is that our politics is volatile.

[HEyHEY]

47. Hey man!

I've a former born and raised vancouverite. I live on Gabriola for a bit too, now I'm in ...ugh...the interior.

[yvr girl]

50. HEyHEY are you a fugative?

You move more than anyone I know. Either that, or you are leaving a string of broken hearts behind you.

[HEyHEY]

51. I'm just a guy who couldn't stay put for years - I'm 25 and have lived....

Barri, Ontario
Moncton New Brunswick
Trois Riveriers Quebec
Woodstock New Brunswick
Gabriola Island, BC
Crowsnest Pass Alberta
Current location, you know it - but I won't post it
And soon moving again to - You know it.

I have like "resident add"

I just want to live everywhere

[yvr girl]

58. For a guy who likes the city

You seem to have avoided anything smelling of a metropolis.

[HEyHEY]

60. alas, most of my adventures were due to education

So I had no choice.

Barrie was boarding school (just for six weeks on account I got kicked out of summer school)
Moncton was a French immersion program
Trois riveries was Universite Du quebec, again for French
Woodstock was journalism school
Gabriola was my internship - loved that place
Alberta and this lil town are strictly professional - it's like god himseld said you can't be a reporter in Vancouver unless you do him a personal favour.

[yvr girl]

62. What exactly does God get by parking you in either

the Crowsnest Pass or the Interior?

Who am I to judge. I grew up in the Kootenays.

[HEyHEY]

63. He's gonna get smack in the face from me one of these days

;-)

From Nelson by chance?

[yvr girl]

64. East Kootenays

Cranbrook to be exact.

[HEyHEY]

65. Fuck, so you know the Pass I'm sure.

My Mom was born in Nelson, which is why I asked.

[yvr girl]

66. I've passed thru the Pass many a time

We drove from Cranbrook to Vancouver almost every Christmas when I was a kid. There were some hair-raising trips.

[nickgutierrez]

26. Hi.

What? You just said talk. You didn't say it had to be *about* anything.

[yvr girl]

30. A thread about nothing?

Who do you think you are, Seinfeld?

[nickgutierrez]

31. I assumed you would supply the conversation. n/t

[yvr girl]

35. OK, flashback to the 70's

What's your sign?

[nickgutierrez]

36. Scorpio.

Yours?

[yvr girl]

39. Aquarius

Most embarrassing moment?

[nickgutierrez]

42. So many to choose from. (Mildly gross.)

It may have been the time I sprained my ankle, and couldn't quite get to a trash can before I lost what I ate for dinner. Having a fragile stomach sucks.

[yvr girl]

45. I was on a red-eye coming back from Hawaii when I was 11

I looked older.

I had wondered upstairs on the 747 and started talking to this guy. (He was 18) We had dinner together. He was telling me about all the great places to buy 'weed' on the islands. Being a pretty straight-laced 11 year old, I freaked out (in a dignified way) and excused myself.

A while later I ran into him. You could still smoke on planes in those days. He had. He did some more. He then proceeded to stumble down the aisle of the plane yelling out my name. It was 4:00 am. I hid behind my in-flight magazine. He didn't see me and passed by. I got up to hide in the bathroom for the rest of the flight. He turned around and saw me. I was stuck in a conversation with him for a while. The whole cabin by this time was awake and watching. My dad, was flipping out. A truly lovely childhood memory.

[chookie]

48. Flu vaccine?

Do you have access to it? (anticipating a positive response, I go green with envy)

I am caregiver to my 80 year old Dad, and a severely asthmatic brother, and am scared to death as I ponder how we are going to get through the winter. Heating is also going to skyrocket.....I'm thinking I am going to have to do a "michael jackson thing" with the surgical mask in order to keep microbes out of the house, and out of me, because if I get sick, heaven help us.

Despite the "assurances" that everything is okay, I fear that many people are going to get very sick and many will die -- and there will be nothing to do except just watch them die. And we can't even think about suing the fucking pharmaceutical company for screwing up, or the government for totally fucking up here -- yet again, like they have fucked everything else up.

Terrorism? Very very very slight chance of occurence. But death from respiratory disease in my family this winter? Likely....

[yvr girl]

53. I do have access, but I'm not planning on getting one

Kind of ironic I know. Don't you qualify as someone who lives with someone at risk?

Good luck to you. Eat well, and get lots of rest.

[StrongbadTehAwesome]

52. Hi!

[yvr girl]

59. Greetings middle America

Are you guarding the gateway to the West.

Oh, and welcome to DU and my random little thread.

[yvr girl]

67. Well, I'm about done talking for the night.

Besides, stupid Shaw Cable has turned off my Cable for the night. Can't watch the end of Conan.
