OMG!!! No seeing it live for any of you guys??......... . . .

Dunno what the ratings were here, but I just have the feeling that MILLIONS of Canucks went in late to work today, so they could sit mesmerised, watching the most spectacular ceremony I'm sure I've ever seen. Heart-stopping, at times, breathtakingly beautiful at others, incredibly ingenious....

PeOter! Did you watch? Alex?

was it that good? You know........I am always wondering how the next country will out-do the preceding.....I cna't believe some of the things they do now, in opening ceremonies.... But my all-time favorites - Lillehammer and France for openings.

OMG - back to work - those three words strike TERROR into the heart of DingoBrained Spruezle......

My biggest prayer - to have a meaningful (at least semi) job at which I excel. NOt even a CAREER for pete's sake, just something decent and tolerable about which I feel good. BAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

carry on sillies.......todya is Last of the Mojitos party at 4 - a few gals and Janie coming over - they have to be gone so I can watch olympics w/ Weezee See you guys this aft?

[blueeyedmanda]

Ok sillies....listen to this Serious funny of the day.

Remember in my wedding party I had John's sister? She was pregnant, had the baby in Feb? Ok well she was engaged and they finally set the date. It was on her myspace page today. There was also a link to their knot wedding page. So i click on it and it has the bridal party listing....and she listed me as a bridesmaid..and a little blurb about how I am her sister in law and she absolutely adores me...mind you guys we rarely even talk but like 10 minutes apart. She never even mentioned the wedding/and or party before....

This is just an all around interesting day....

Hanh? Dunno if I'm understanding this.....surely not.....You're a bridesmaid, and you don't even know about the wedding? and for good measure!

As an artist, I was SO excited and quite literally mesmerised by the things that unfolded before our eyes. I don't wanna give anything away..... . ...I'll just say this, because our Canadian commentator mentioned it and I'm SO GLAD that he did: when you see things moving, look carefully for the person controlling it - - may not be obvious, but those incredible people are there.....

What phun!

[blueeyedmanda]

Silly's where are you all!!!!!

Major tumbleweeds blowing through Sillyville.........

I'm so excited, so excited, so excited!!!!!!!!!! The Olympics are here!!!!!!! (only 12 hrs after Emily got to see )

Mygawd......how long do you guys have to wait? Another three hours??

How about Jo? She's about six hours behind us here, I think......she'll be the last of us to see it all!

[elye]

The Ripper is going to his overnight camp on Sunday. I've never seen him so excited about anything...... . even about going to NYC (actually, he was pretty excited about meeting you, Patti....but I think this is an even bigger deal)...... ...

So, while we were sitting here watching TV, Jack suddenly turned to me and asked, "Do the Sillies know that I'm going away to camp?"

I said that yes, I had mentioned it. He was concerned, however, that you all may not remember exactly when he is going.

So, now everybody knows. Sunday, August 10th, 3 pm.

[jerseyangel]

Oh Emily--please be sure to tell Jack to have a phabulous time at camp!!!! I had such a great time meeting him and talking all about the history and future of Celiac. What a delightful young man--truly

So, Sunday's the big day--how long will he be gone?

[elye]

So, Sunday's the big day--how long will he be gone?

One week. The camp has a website, and they post photos each day. Hopefully there will be a shot or two of Jack, and I'll post them.

[blueeyedmanda]

Yes do tell the Ripper that I said have a great time at camp and to enjoy it since school probably starts soon for you guys.

John and I are in the midst of the major cleaning since my parents arrive in the morning.....this house is a mess!

Dropping in for a quick visit. I'm current on reading, but don't have much silly in me to share. There is an ancient Chinese curse, I believe, that goes something like, "May you live in interesting times." For those of us who moderate here, it has been "interesting times" for the last 24 hours or so.

I went for my annual follow-up visit with the ophthalmologist today. I had some problems with Open Original Shared Link which required minor laser surgery in February of 2004. Today's examination shows no change from four years ago. (So far, this is the only sign of complications--an enlarged blood vessel in one eye.)

It's a small world. During the exam, I was asking the surgeon if he could recommend someone to examine me for eyeglass prescription. My distance vision is not as good as it once was, and I may soon need glasses to see (I have been using readers for years). He knows nothing about practitioners where we live, but knows the area in Toronto where we have our business. He recommended a practice half a block from our store. He is familiar with the area because he lives in the neighboUrhood. Then the penny drops. He asks me, "You work for XXX, don't you?" I say, yes, my wife and I own the XXX store at (intersection). Turns out his dog has developed food issues, and he has to buy an expensive non-allergenic food, and the vet told him to go to XXX. He remembered buying food from there recently, and described the person from whom he bought the food--Jacquie.

So, when I got to the store later, I told Jacquie that I would be seeing Dr. K in another year, if not sooner. She asked, why sooner. I said, why are you seeing the doctor and not telling me. She looked, and sure enough, the computer had a record of Dr K buying food and being served by her.

Having one of us in the store all day every day is still the routine, but we have three people in training a the moment so there is a light at the end of the tunnel (I hope it is not the headlight of an incoming train ).

Dear Everyone,

I just wanted to "poop" in and say hello! I have not been on here in so long! It has been difficult to be on the computer at all lately. Our power went out five times during the past seven days! With as much as they charge, the very least the electric company could do is keep the freakin' electricity on!

I wanted to share my good news with you all. Mom got me a bunny! He is so adorable! Boomer is his name. That is him in my avatar. I have only had him since Sunday, and he is already spoiled!

Sincerely,

Jin

P.S. How is Amanda's husband doing? The last I was on here, he had just lost his friend in a car wreck and was severely depressed. I hope he is doing better. Such things are difficult to recover from. I have some great things I got in e-mail that I will try to post soon for everyone.
