Parking pt 2

i think this has happened to all of us at some point... you park your car, feed the meter, then find out that the meter has taken your quarters, but has not given you the parking time that you need in return. usually, this is where i express my anger verbally (and profanely) and then find a different meter, feed it and then mourn the loss of my first batch of quarters...

this on the otherhand, is an other option:



i laughed when this got sent to me (thx B!)... but i was told that it worked!

i'm not too sure i'd try it in Toronto tho :P

I should be sleeping....

... but i'm not.

yet.

i have yet another long work roadtrip tomorrow with my BFF, Mar Brown. friday's installment brought us up and down many small, winding, country roads and GPS images that looked like this:



scary. nothing around but trees, cows and the occasional silo. we both decided that the view was nice, but not for us.

the best part of the day? when i spotted the "boarder collie puppies for sale" sign on the side of the road.



Mar just might get to take one of these guys home!!!!!

anyhoo.... this weekend was all about relaxing with girlfriends and eating my sorrows away haha... saturday was so nice outside so i took the opportunity to wear a summer dress, for what might be, the last time this year(shudder). i hate to admit it, but the Fall is coming and... i don't like it one bit!!! i'm gonna miss all the open toes, shorts and dresses :(



Sunday was spent with 2 of my fav girlfriends... Michelle & Jackie (get better soon!!!). we went to Maki Maki (for all you 'Sauga people) for all you can eat Japanese food. i don't know about you, but ever since All You Can Eat came into my life, it's hard to go back to A La Carte! A few shots to give you an idea of why i went there in my fatty pants... hahahaha









*burp*

Dumbass e-mail forwards...

Ok, we all get a bunch of crap ass e-mail forwards so I am gonna share a particularily far fetched one i received today...

---------------------------------------

For all parents and grandparents -- True, according to Snopes -

Be cautious of hair bands at open markets around the city too – they are probably from China since they are purchased in bulk very very cheap !!!!

Take a good look before buying hair bands in future – specially like the following kind…..






These Hair bands were made from used condoms and threads. That was so disgusting, I would not want to use them!!

BEIJING (AFP) - Used condoms are being recycled into hair bands in southern China threatening to spread sexually-transmittable diseases they were originally meant to prevent, state media reported Tuesday

In the latest example of potentially harmful Chinese-made products, rubber hair bands have been found in local markets and beauty salons in Dongguan and Guangzhou cities in southern Guangdong province, China Daily newspaper said.

'These cheap and colorful rubber bands and hair ties sell well ..... threatening the health of local people,' it said.
Despite being recycled, the hair bands could still contain bacteria and viruses, it said.

'People could be infected with AIDS, (genital) warts or other diseases if they hold the rubber bands or strings in their mouths while waving their hair into plaits or buns,' the paper quoted a local dermatologist who gave only his surname, Dong, as saying. A bag of ten of the recycled bands sells for just 25 s en (three cents), much cheaper than others on the market, accounting for their popularity, the paper said.

A government official was quoted as saying recycling condoms was illegal. China 's manufacturing industry has been repeatedly tarnished this year by a string of scandals involving shoddy or dangerous goods made for both domestic and foreign markets.

In response, it launched a public relations blitz this summer aimed at playing up efforts to strengthen monitoring systems.

Check your kids hair bands and make sure they do not put them in their mouth while trying to plait or tie their hair

The Chinese never fail to amaze me ....

------------------------------------------------------------------

OK YEAH, WHAT KIND OF IDIOT CREATED THIS FABLE?! So lemme get this right... the Chinese go out of their way to filter out used condoms from garbage to make hair ties?! If anything, that just seems like a super complicated way to create these things... def not easy or cost effective...

(don't even get me started on the "The Chinese never fail to amaze me" comment)

I wanna punch these people in the face... All the people who create spoof e-mails, esp. ones that have to do with people's health... stop it! Go do something useful (like jumping off a bridge)

Excuse me while I go tie my hair into a ponytail and NOT worry about getting AIDS...

today stinks...

ever had one of those days? or one of those weeks? where everything just sucks?

well, i'm having one of those right now.

today stinks.

but not as much as this dude's feet all out in the mall...



i understand you were probably walking around all day & very tired, but this is NOT your couch at home. put those stank feet away! and all up on the arm rest too?! damn!

PS... i don't see a beach around either... just say no to men in sandals when there is no water within walking distance!

PPS sorry if this was someone's uncle in the mall that i snapped... but i was just saying......

Parking in Boston?

my dear friend B sent this to me in a state of parking confusion... he's quite annoyed at the fact that you can only park for a 1/2 hour, but if you look a little closer, the "1/2" has been slapped on with a sticker. they probably saw him driving around the corner and decided that they didn't want him around for an hour...



burn!

hahaha sorry B...

check out his wears at www.societysop.com it's well worth your time :) <3

Hannah Montana....

yes, it's true, i'm doing a post about Hannah Montana. but with good reason!

my girlfriends and i were shopping for cheap candy before we went to the movies recently (c'mon, you know you don't wanna pay those highway robbery theatre prices either!!!) and we came across this...

i apologize for the grainy cell phone picture, but it's hard to get a perfect shot when you are in Dollarama (shut up)!

is it just me, or do the gummy candies look like penises???

Hannah, you have a lot of explaining to do to Billy-Ray.
