Corey said that Jane and I sent him messages at exactly the same time: "The two windows popped up 100% simultaneously. :P Along with the two MSN popup dealies coming up at the same exact time, which is what I really noticed, I guess. And now, it is dinner time. So see if you can repeat that when I get back." The coincidence is SWEET, but I doubt it can be repeated! Billie and I made plans to get together at Metrotown next Tuesday afternoon: I was around there last summer, but don't think I actually went inside.

Now I have a JOKE suggestion from Corey about Tim Tams, which I have just run out of:

[00:19:00] Corey: just go to a grocery store that has no doors to get in the way. most of the newer ones here don't have doors... they just have a doorway with some vents to kind of create some sort of moving air barrier, so all the heat doesn't go out the door or something.
[00:19:54] Corey: anyway, load up your cart with the stuff you need, like their entire stock of Tim Tams, and then get in a straight path to the door, and pretend to fall down. as you do this, push the cart forward pretty hard, and it'll go flying out of the store!!!!!!!!!!!!
[00:20:23] Corey: then you can leave a few minutes later, and go get stuff out of the cart. it's not stealing, since it fell out of the store and is now up for grabs
[00:20:34] Corey: and if they don't see it that way... uh, RUN!
[00:27:03] Corey: but, you have some time to let things cool off before you go outside to see if other people didn't already steal everything out of the cart, and then someone else gets in trouble if anyone does, so I think that's the way to go. professional thieves these days go empty items that are in huge boxes and fill them with iPods and stuff, then they use the self-checkout to pay for the box
[00:27:17] Corey: which rings up at the price of whatever the thing was
[00:36:21] Corey: and these things are good :P I tried to drink a little bit through one instead of just waiting until it got saturated, and it almost melted in my hand on me :P you have to be kind of quick with them

Leslie took the What is your Dominant Chakra? quiz and the result is Vishuddhi (Throat) Chakra. Also called the sixteen-petaled lotus, the throat chakra is centered with speech. You are someone who uses their words, or voice, to accomplish what they need. You have a powerful or resonating voice, and find that speaking or singing relaxes and / or energizes you. Just remember, it's also good to listen! Your dominant color is blue.

Poo nugget for Friday, Apr. 17: Doo You Know? - Before you shake hands with someone, consider the following. While 95% of men and women surveyed say they wash their hands after using a public restroom, only 67% of people actually do, according to the results of a study conducted for the American Society for Microbiology's Clean Hands Campaign.
