You should have returned the favour.... after she had been waiting in line for a bit.

I already am not a fan of Christmas, but now it seems everyone is snowed in, so it'll be me, my mom and my moms husband and his family. I think I will just spend the day in the basement watching movies with my moms creepy cats.

It can't be _that_ bad in Toronto or wouldn't they have called in the army by now?

I didn't see her again, but that would have been funny, take the bottles, push her out of line...

He doesn't live in Toronto. He lives way out in the boonies, where they don't really plow the roads too much, because it's not too populated.

You wouldn't even have to push her out of line. She'd either have to make a decision - get out of line to get pop or not get the pop at all. Either way she loses.

I didn't really know where the snowing in was taking place but making fun of Toronto for calling in the army to shovel snow will always be funny.

No, I wouldn't have to push her, but I would take special care to make sure I did. Take my pop bottles, you pay the price... although she didn't pay any price, cause she grabbed them and ran. I wasn't about to run after her for some 99 cent bottles of Coke Zero.

True. They will never live that down. Ever.

I hate wrapping gifts, I am terrible at it. I wish there were gift bags that would fit all my presents.

I hate putting lights on a Christmas tree. The next tree I buy will be one that has the LED lights built in.

I waisted damn near a whole role of wrapping paper trying to wrap my brothers present

I bought a craftsman 5 drawer tool box for my Dad. Its going to take all the non-existent wrapping skills I have. I'm thinking I should have bought more paper in the event I fail a bunch of times.

It's 11 AM on Christmas Eve and I haven't wrapped anything yet. For all my friends and family out of town, no gifts or cards are in the mail yet either.

I like wrapping gifts. But, I am terrible at it.

I am sitting at my desk enjoying baileys and hot chocolate. I should go home soon.

[GreenTeaFrapp]

I think they should have warnings on coloured transparent wrapping paper that they are transparent.

There should also be a rating system on how opaque the wrapping paper is. I don't like people being able to see through the paper after the gift is wrapped. You wrap a gift, think the contents are hidden but then you turn on a bright light and you find out you're one step up from wrapping with plastic wrap.

Or maybe I shouldn't buy wrapping paper at the dollar store.

I love ginger ale. If I could only have one kind of pop for the rest of my life, that's what I'd pick.

It's more drama. Will Smith is kinda crazy, but it's pretty clear why so he's not scary crazy. I don't want to say too much, but watch it.

My last girlfriend would poke her food until it was cold and then throw it out. It drove me insane. Even the most delicious of foods, her favourite foods! Why do some girls feel the need to pretend they don't enjoy eating? We're all human, so stuff your face.

Hate it. My grandmother would make me drink flat ginger ale when I was younger when I was sick. Any symptom I had, flat ginger ale would allegedly cure it. BS. I hate ginger ale.

So it's 3am and have 3 hammered buddies fighting over 1 couch. This will be interesting.

I'm not a fan of gift cards as presents. I'd rather have cash since you can spend it anywhere you want. A gift card is just a way of saying you have no idea what to get someone but you don't want to look like you put absolutely no thought into it by giving cash.

Some inbred jacktard took my parking spot today while I clearly had my signal light on for at least 2 minutes. Unfortunately there were three rednecks in the truck so I was screwed if I wanted to beak off to them. (plus my wife was with me)

Do they pull that crap in Texas where people can carry concealed guns?

[Resolute 14]

Yeah, and they get shot.

Anyway, I'm sitting here on someone else's wireless, finally. I could see about 20 different wireless connections where i am, but this is the first I could get any kind of signal strength out of.

Three more days until someone at Telus gets off their lazy ass and connects me up...

I wonder if this chinook-esque weather we've received in Ottawa for two holiday seasons in a row will become an annual occurrence.

It's currently nine degrees and raining here.
