ALL the little steps to cut back help, maytagmom. My only new years resolution (well, besides finally giving in and dating George Clooney) was to quit smoking at the computer. So now I make myself go down 2 flights of stairs to have a smoke - actually amazing how quick I've got used to it.

mothers little helper.... Hey Tom, you'll have to let me know how that little pill works - if it helps with that weird "out of body" feeling, I might give it a try....

I'm with you Oxy - it takes a lot of determination, something I'm apparently lacking...

Happy New Year guys. Only about 9:30 here and we're heading out to a tasteful soiree......until I get there that is. All the best wishes to everyone here for a happy and healthy 2007!

up by Hillside I'm thinking? I'm getting rusty on my Victoria geography..... Glad to hear it's still going though, they used to be great

awwwww Victoria, my home town. Just came back from there tonight on the 5:00 ferry, doing some pre xmas visiting. You must know ABC Electric on Yates St - THE place for any replacement part for small appliances. They can do anything with a mixmaster (yeah, yeah, way too easy.....) Hmm, I hope...

Moravian Love Feast??????

ahhhh Free Bird....suddenly overwhelmed with memories of a '75 Datsun.....

and SO worth a visit! When I was in NY in Sept, I shopped til I dropped there. Good deals...

and what department stores used to be - nice to hear. Could it be a (gasp) trend? Hey Pete, I'd forgotten about that cafeteria, I always loved the hardware dept with the massive bins of nails etc. They bulldozed Woodwards last month after sitting empty for so many years - everything except the...

Thank you! I was very curious... And I'm with you on feeling nostaligic for old department stores at Christmas - I still miss the the Woodwards Christmas windows, there's nothing like that now.

ok I give. Frangos? Explique por favor.

oh yeah, Vancouver's downtown Eatons/Sears has been described as looking like a "giant urinal". Built in the '70's, what a surprise. It's unfortunate - the old Eatons (the shell still remains as SFU's downtown campus)was beautiful. The best one was in Toronto, the College Park store I think -...

I'm pretty sure the Moffat brand is long gone - I think it became GE. My parents had a Moffat stove for years, complete with oil burner on the side and this house came with a harvest gold electric that had seen better days - the oven temp, like you said though, was right on. When I found my '48...

Eaton's was a department store chain across Canada that ran for a hundred and something years, owned by the Eaton family. It was higher end than Sears and sold everything from designer fashion to farm equipment. EVERYTHING! Went bankrupt in 1999. We all grew up with something in the house from...

Avalon Dairies here, just celebrated their 100th anniversary. Still glass bottles and sell everything from whipping cream and standard milk to skim organic. The chocolate milk is incredibly addictive... They do home delivery too (bonus of cute uniformed milkmen!)but I think in my neighbourhood...

"Love is All Around" - I think that's the Troggs version, also done by Wet, Wet, Wet etc....

The "younger generation" (and it pains me to say that) so often now have the attitude that AIDS is something that can just be handled with some pills. My partner, HIV+ for 21 years now and just out of the hospital after a week with septocemia is proof of how endless and constant the battle to...
