I was all ready to make a whiny and petulant post about how
Edited on Thu Feb-24-05 11:01 PM by yvr girl
I can't find Chinese food.

I know it seems ridiculous - I live in Vancouver. We have a large Chinese population here, which generally correlates to a large number of Chinese restaurants.

But my favourite went all upscale and weird. There are two down the block - one is too expensive and the other is only open during the day.

I was grumpy. (Hard to please, but still - grumpy.) I wanted a Chinese restaurant in my path. I didn't want to have to look for it. Nothing presented itself on my trip home. Damn.

Alas, I resigned myself to sushi. I walked to the sushi restaurant. Guess what just opened beside it. A Chinese restaurant. Yeah. I am completely happy now.

Ask and you shall receive.

Oh, and I saw a really cool moon on my way home. It was huge, I could almost touch it and it was GOLD!

1. heh - are you sure you aren't bi-polar?
I noticed your "post of fame" was back on the front page of GD this afternoon.

Just for the record, your post was perfectly OK. You just happened to hit on a "poopie-mom."

BTW, you inspired me for my sermon this week. It's titled "Sippy Cup, or a Big Gulp?" (text: John 4, Jesus and the woman at the well).

3. I noticed that too
I've been reading the posts, but I stopped posting in it about 120 posts ago.

I'm glad I inspired you. I'd love to read your sermon if you have a copy of it electronically.

7. I never write them out.
But I think someone records them for the shut-ins.

I just kind of know what I'm going for, and get up and speak. That way, people don't fall asleep. O8)

12. Sparks - this is the lounge.
You can't believe everything people say here. Most of it is tongue-in-cheek; or even tongue-in-someone-else's-cheek, on occasion.

You know, Class Warrior is from here, too - and only 2 hours away!

3 sushi restaurants
1 Thai
3 Pizza
2 Indian
3 coffee joints
1 McDonalds
1 Denny's
1 Subway
3 Chinese (1 that I like)

There's more but I won't go on.

23. I'm not coy
but definitely not an attack animal. Speed is relative, I marathon now days, not sprint.

26. If I was a southern belle, I would have a fan
I'll just have to change into something light and silky.

I think I'll be ok, we do know each other a bit.

33. I never rip
