Output Stream of Consciousness

Great article Ritchie, nice work

I like Stephen Butterfield a lot and I have seen the ads around my town but I don't really believe that course could change anyone's life.

Re Evelyn Mitchell

I just found it in Save on Foods in Edmonton. I nearly jumped for joy when I saw it. It goes for about 5.99 a case.

They make Diet White Grape, but as far as I've been able to tell, they only export the three flavours (Raspberry, Tangerine, Cola) north of the border.

Grape would be awesome :)

I have actually encountered Splenda-based Grape Crush, but it did not taste nearly as good as I was hoping, and it was only in a "four-flavour" pack including Diet Orange Crush, Diet Cream Soda and I think Diet Mug (but that has aspartame - bleh).

It is available at Sobey's in ATlantic Canada! Sure wish they made Diet Grape too.

I've actually seen it pop up in Safeway and even the Co-op stores down here.

However, I wouldn't fret too much over Sobey's not having it: Sobey's, out of all the grocery stores, has their own pretty good version of Diet Rite. It's their 'Freedom' line; the Diet ones are all aspartame-based, but the Freedom ones are all sucralose/Splenda. They have Peach Freedom, Raspberry Freedom, Cola Freedom and Tangerine Freedom.

name bird ? ... i thing this bird from
asia

Clever. But I imagine rather less useful for those of us who have abandoned land lines for mobile/VOIP exclusively. Mind you, it's been at least a year since my last spam call, and over two since my last spam SMS. And VOIP is yet outgoing-only, so it behaves itself perfectly.

This begs the question: Is PhoneTray available for the iPhone? Or is there a comparable iPhone app that performs similar filtering? I wonder if "Line2" (http://www.line2.com) might fit the bill. One of the features it touts is "Call screening / Call Announce / Caller ID based routing."

I really enjoy this pop but I am having trouble finding it. Sobey's used to carry it but now it isn't on the shelf. Does anyone know where to get it in Edmonton?

Stuffed baby Yorkie? As in Yorkshire terrier? They can probably be obtained pretty cheaply, but I agree that $1 seems low.

-mark.

I'm guessing this is about Tuesday's menu choice?

I need hot & cold valves
for a Waltec 40 - tub/shower taps.

Hi there, I'm not sure if anyone is still watching this thread but I thought I'd post anyways.
I too have a (drippy) Waltec 12. I'm not very handy so I'm wondering if I can just change the cartridge or the washers if that's even possible, forgive me for my ignorance!
In our bathroom the taps just stick out of the wall & we have a ceramic tile surround. We don't have the skill to replace it or the money to have someone come in.
I'd like to change the handles & faucet but if I can just fix the drippiness I'd be thrilled!

Another fun volley:

I wrote back - I mean, why the hell not at this point?

Since eBay's recommended escrow site IS escrow.com, I am glad to hear that you will be using that.
Detroit? Good. I can have somebody from SGS Automotive Service come down to inspect the car (my expense). They are just down on Mt Elliott St - your parents should know where that is.

You should check with eBay - they don't usually ship cars across the border, but I know some people in Hamilton, Ontario who could drive down south and get things across customs. eBay should refund your shipping fee in that case, so you will have more money in your difficult situation
Thanks in Christ,

need that sexual diseases hotline number at some point, I'm sure.

The first step is to make the deposit of CAD4500$ and after i will received the
confirmation of the payment you made on the agents account then the shipping will
begin,
Shipping will be done by DAS and the car will arrive in about 3-5 days to your
door.You have 5 days to test my car and after the inspection period in case that
you don't like the car,email ebay and request to get your money back,you send the
car back on my cost.(you will NOT loose any money)if you decide to keep the car,i
pick the money that you must to send at the ebay.
If you are realy interested to buy my car then please give me your full name and
shipping address and then i will contact eBay and they will send you all the
informations.Thank you and have a nice day.

If there were any doubt that this was a scam...

Here's what I further replied:

If only that had been the subject of my inquiry. No matter. Personally, I would rather use escrow.com - I do not mind the extra expense for a little peace of mind.

...and here's the reply I got back:
