RE: Yukon Quest

I finding this race interesting to watch from a distance. Of the 9 front runners, one is a rookie ( a woman, Abbie West ) and she is holding her own against the vetern racers. I hope she continues to do well and better her standing in this race.
The front runners sure like to run in the dark.

And than there seems to be a couple, at the back of the pack, just enjoying the senery. But they still have all their dogs in the race.

I noticed, That there is a team from Switzerland, and two teams from Belguim.

Watching this race, brings back some memories for me. When I and 11 others went dog shelding and camping under the stars, for 10-14 days. Celebrating new years day in the bush. This trip was in the forest on the east side of Lake Winnipeg. I was in grade 11 at the time.

RE: skipping the initial dating

They are in a hurry.
Has any one else noticed, that in about 3-4 days, these letters and profiles, disappear.

Last last few of these letters that I received actually came from Canada. They just happen to be frome a couple provinces in either direction.

RE: Yukon Quest

Thanks Eyes. Now I have the web site to follow how the race is going. I looked at some of the pictures of the last years race. Some nice country up there.
This is one race, that just finishing makes mushers and their dog teams a winner.

RE: Never been married

Around here, it wouldn't be hard to find a dozen men over the age of forty, who have never married. And they all work hard for a living, and all are self imployed.

RE: Political Science for "Dummies"

RE: Political Science for "Dummies"

BUREAUCRACY CANADIAN STYLE



You have two cows, politicians, animal rights groups, city people all get government grants, to form committies.
One committee to decide how you should look after the cows.
Another committee to decide how you should milk the cows.
Another committee to decide how the milk is to be handled and sold.
Another committee to decide how to handle all the manure the cows produce.

After all the money has been spent on committees, the cows have gone dry, you have gone broke, feeding the cows and getting nothing in return.

You get two more cows, as compensation, you than ignore the government and all the committees, drink some of the milk and sell the rest to your nieghbours. And if any damm government official, or any any animal rights person comes on your farm, you send the dogs after them.

Diffinately not much action here.

I think we must have gone into hibernation.

Wake me up in the spring.

RE: Can you drive?

I can and do drive a vehicle with a standard transmission. I actually prefer the standard transmission. Growing up on a farm, I had the oppertunity to learn and had to learn how to drive with a standard. (the farm grain truck) But, because of the popularity of the automactic, most in north america never had the oppertunity to learn on a standard, and would be in trouble if they had to drive a standard. Now even the semi-trucks can have auto-mactic transmissions.

RE: What do you do?

It depends what I'm mad about.

If it is about some event. I probably spew out a lots of words, venting my frustration.

If it because some cow kicked me. There probably be alot of @@@@, ****, %%$%$ words , and the cow will probably get a good hit with something.

But if it is a person that upset me. I probably, will bottle it up internally.
Experiance has taught me, if too much gets bottled up for too long, it will explode out somehow, and you might not want to be around for that.

RE: Finish the sentence: You know you're getting old when...

you know your getting old when, when the list needed on the door, to remind you what to take along before you leave, lists:

false teeth,
hearing aids,
glasses,

Poor dad, today he had two out of the three, he forgot the hearing aids.

RE: What new book are you reading now?

You can always count on Gordy, to make something funny, out of something serious.

RE: what king of woman/man do you want to marry

I agree here, well said.

RE: My Profile

If you are serious.
On the top right hand side of your screen there is a tab " edit profile"
Good luck

(and I haven't looked at your profile)

RE: Just a question for everyone

When you find out the answer, let me know.

I sometimes wonder if, I have the word "loser" stamped on the back of my head some where.

RE: why

Is it really easier, or are the struggles just different?

RE: Why Am I Undereducated

Some of your lack of education about the outside world, may be your fault. You also a product of your upbringing.

When we don't have to learn another language, we don't. ( english is widely used around the world) Those whose language is only used in their small countries, also learn the language of their nieghbours. And they become quite good at it, because they use the different languages often.

Here in Canada and in many other countries, the news media, and other programs, report and tell us about many events from around the world, and not just about our own country. So as a result, we accumulate more knowledge about the world outside our own country.

RE: Hi There

Nice to see you back eyes.

RE: So....exactly what is the definition of a "loose" woman??

I taught that this term/label was quite common.
I understand as someone, who enjoys and is willing to sleep with anyone, who gives them attention, even if it's only for one night. It's funny how that word spreads like wild fire, especially among the guys. Whether the term is accurate, or is malicious gossip is another question.



Now running for cover....

RE: extra people in the sack

RE: Zodiac Signs

I don't even look at the zodiac sign. I have never cared what my zodiac sign is. Therefore it not a contributing factor for me.
