Hi TC!

@Miles, not sure if you are the reason, but recently started watching Trailer Park Boys from beginning. Had seen bits before. Feel like I am embracing my Canadian(ness).

night night...

Oh, I HATE that show, Nam. My brother thinks it's great, but it hits too close to home fit me. Obviously, with a bit more heat and southern twang, but still. They are exactly the kind of people/life I, and my husband, have been running from all our lives. While I've always been solid middle class, everyone around me was trailer park status. I can't watch that show without assigning each character to someone I knew. Ugh.

Quondam, I'm sorry I went off on you yesterday. I feel like you've been attackingy comments on other threads more than usual lately, and I guess I hit my limit. Sorry to use you as a punching bag.

And sorry TC for going off the rails.

Sarah, if your smiting joke had worked it would have been a triumph of Internet humor.

Nam, if you want to really want to diversify your Canadian regional troupes you should check out FUBAR.  It was really fun watching that after having spent a summer working on a Canadian oil rig, and feeling like I knew everyone on the show.

Also, Non, saying something like "fuck church" isn't helpful. Church is good for all kinds of social, community, cultural reasons, no matter what your relationship to religion.

Sometimes we get together with friends on Sunday mornings and drink wine and call it church. The children are being indoctrinated alright! The church is accepting new members...

All things are both good an bad, Non, from national governments to broccoli.

Yes Donna, although broccoli is damn delicious... hard to see how that can be turned evil.

I'll take that evil broccoli thing back... the internets can be a weird place sometimes.

I have a quick question, I hope y’all don’t mind if I ask it here.

I’ve been a Habitat construction volunteer for the last few years. My work experience is unrelated. Should I list my Habitat experience as I would employment experience because of its relevance?

Ranch and raw broccoli are disgusting. Broccoli is only good steamed, and excellent with melted cheese. Same goes for cauliflower, broccoli's albino cousin.
Apr 20, 15 1:50 pm  ·

jw, I put volunteer work under its own heading on my resume.  I don't think it's out of line to put it under work experience IF you clearly state it was volunteer, not employment. Which might mean the heading is something like "Work Experience" not "Employment History".

This just drove down the hallway, inside the building, past my office door.

 

More info here. Some days working in a museum is really cool.

Donna -- it was done first (sort of) during the 1950s ... in Czechoslovakia. Of course, this version doesn't 'shape shift'.

This is the Velorex Oskar, which was produced between 1953 and 1971. It was fitted with a rear-mounted Jawa two-stroke air-cooled motorcycle engine. To reduce the production costs they built the "Oskar" as a multi-tube structure covered in vinyl-like material called "Igelit", attached with turnbutton fasteners. 

Actually, the Oskar is pretty hideous, but thought it'd be interesting to note its existence in connection with your post.

So, Donna, what is the seasonal reason for the 8 "how much do I chargefor a rendering?" wave in the lasthour?

Haven't noticed, JLC-1, and likely would not have an answer anyway...

quizzical, that thing is neat but funny-looking. This BMW today, in both sound and appearance, was sooooooo sexy. Like Oops-how-did-my-panties-get-down-around-my-ankles sexy. Good heavens. And it's the first of over a dozen cars due in to the museum this week.  It's gonna be hard to concentrate on the Lutron system room number drawing I'm supposed to be doing.

Are we talking about a car, or did someone mention Brad Pitt, and I missed the comment, again?

Four more cars offloading today! None as sexy as the BMW. Right now it's this one:

 

Which is very cool but that little bubble top makes the driver look ridiculous, even if it was Brad Pitt.

...and, my husband made this car, which I'd place in sexiness over the Firebird, but below the BMW GINA.

I've always been partial to this, plus it was a production car.

Oh my god, Donna!! I think I'm blushing for you. Where are your southern manors?! Goodness!

And I can't figure out if the GINA is pronounced Jeenah or Jighnah. Guess it works both ways.

Donna, prompted me to check out the IMA, you’ve got a cool gig. Others who haven’t should check it out, particularly the Art & Nature Park….

Sarah, it's pronounced Geena, but that's not how I hear it in my brain.

JLC-1 the City of Burbank didn't end up going as fast as they had hoped; it was a new build based on an old car, and still needs some tweaks to get to top speed.
