I so totally agree with you here. My biggest pet peeve is irresponsible journalism.... makes me wanna bite something :D

I've booked a little bistro/cafe here in NDG. It'll be a completely private thing, the whole restaurant is ours so that any and all rugrats can run amok. I'm just waiting on the menu to send out the invites :) The date though is march 21, and it's a combo goodbye and Jeff's B-day party. Be...

Cool :D How bout the going away party I'm having that you have to be coming to? I'll buy the beer, and you can wax philosophical whilst our children have at each other :D

:rofl2:

Right now men get 5 days! Remember that's "paid" ? The father is still eligible to collect EI for parental leave for a much longer period depending on the wishes of the couple on how to split the leave. This legislations agknowleges the fact, more than any place else in North America, that the...

Right now, fathers are eligible for 5 days of paid paternity leave, and mothers are eigable for 18 weeks paid maternity leave. Both mothers and fathers are eligible for 52 weeks of *unpaid* parental leave that is covered under employment insurance. Sounds to me as though fathers are now...

I'd like to see the actual wording of that in the goverment release, not as per the reproters words. Lots of people interchange the terms parental and maternity leave.

Actually, as far as I know, the leave is called parental leave, and can be taken for up to 52 weeks. This can be taken entirely by either the mother or the father, or split between the two either concurrently or consecutively. Which means that a mother and father are entitled, if they choose...

The best thing about o'hare are the flight crews who will get your luggage on to your connecting flight with as little as a half hour layover, prety much every time. The worst thing about o'hare is that it is so damn big that in some areas, you may just have to take a shuttle bus to the...

*points* See?? I told you boys are gross!

That's exactly the ways science is supposed to work. You do a study and publish the results for peer review. It's a requirement. If no one else can reproduce your results, you get debunked. You can't keep things under wrap until you are *sure*, because then you must be doing some shaky science...

Oh well then enjoy the sunrise, *then* pass out in a stupor :D

Go to work instead? :D

I agree. That's just being alarmist, though more of the blame of that lies with journalistic spin for bigger headlines than it does with the actual scientists doing the science. I don't believe this particuar article was one of those. Just reporting new research on the possible causes of the...

Boys are gross :P

Who said complete destruction? It doesn't have to be completely destroyed. Just significantly reducing it's coverage is enough for a huge chunk of life on earth to start doing a pretty good imitation of an egg in a frying pan :) The fact is, there is a hole in the ozone layer. We know that...

Make an appointment now. It's most likely absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but you know your own body best, and if your instincts have prompted you that there may be something up, listen to them, It's why we have em :)

Lots of "us" agree with him. Unfortunatly, those other us's were born here and we haven't found a place to send 'em all yet. I'm thinking maybe the 7th level of hell might have a few openings... I hear it's warm there.

My ex mother in law used to make something called "Sex in a Pan" So I googled it and found it. I could eat the entire thing.... *drool* Sex In A Pan Ingredients : 1 cup flour 1/2 cup butter/margarine 3 oz pecans, chopped 1 (8oz) package cream cheese 1 cup icing sugar 1 tub...

Neither. It's just where we store the criminals to keep them from being all criminal against us. :) I had to edit this to add that I got this picture in my head as I typed that... Kind of seeing a stacked system of cells, like a morgue...Just keep um in numered boxes, maybe cryostasis...
