My point is that certain expenses - such as a mortgage - are fixed and are not influenced by the addition of a second or more people in the residence.
I agree that I sound (and can be) petty but, for good reason as I have been nickled and dimed over the years. I've always set my children's well being foremost and have been more than generous in buying school supplies (including a laptop for $800.00) only to be met with resistance when attempts are made to collect half the cost.
Like many in my situation, I seek nothing more than a fair balance.
If every driver in the country were able to go an entire week without fueling up then the revenues for that week would be nil however, in the week following, everyone would have to fill up thereby offsetting the so called loss.
This concept of trying to force oil companies to lower prices is ill conceived and nothing short of ridiculous.
It'd be nice to see Toronto win as this is the 40th anniversary of their last cup victory....40 years...just think, many of you here have lived your entire lives and never seen Toronto win the cup!
I had mine long back in my late 30's and cut it on my 40th. Tied it back usually in a ponytail. I recently dug up an old airport security pass and with the hair not tied back and a full beard I looked like an Iraqi Terrorist! No wonder my wife asked me to cut it!
Friday night it was late, I was walking you home We got down to the gate, I was dreaming of the night Would it turn out right? How to tell you girl, I want to build my world around you Wanna tell you that it's true I wanna make you understand I'm talking about a lifetime plan
Well that's the way it began, we were hand-in-hand Glen Miller's band was better than before We yelled and screamed for more And those Porter's tunes made us dance across the room It ended all too soon On the way back home I promised you'd never be alone
Hurry, don't be late I can't hardly wait I said to myself when we're old We'll go dancing in the dark, walking through the park And reminiscing
Friday night it was late, I was walking you home We got down to the gate, I was dreaming of the night Would it turn out right? Now as the years roll on, each time we hear our favourite song The memories come along Older times we're missing, spending the hours reminiscing

So...a few years back I'm at a restaurant with a friend on a date. The waitress - good looking, nice body, tight fitting blouse - comes over to take our order...she's standing beside me, I'm sitting...do the math! I happened to take a glance - not a glare! I thought it was a respectful (as artgurl says) glance...well...did I hear about it later on!
