So they removed all (?) of my wisdom from my skull yesterday.
In fact, it was a bloody mess.
A total of 8 needles to achieve this, or more? (as I lost count)
Yet Dr. Comtois did a fab job. So I thanked him for a job-well-done, and also
for freakishly playing Patricia-The-Stripper for my painful enjoyment. And also to teach
the assistant how to pronounce my name properly. They are SO french.
And really I just about passed out after I was sewn up.
Trust me, it was a large gap taking all of that wisdom out my friend.
And me becoming ill? this doesnt occur with Dentists for me: just Doctors.
I know I know, I was suprised myself.
So I took the day off yesterday, and spent it watching Uma fight and sleeping.
Also, lastly, I got a call from David right after the carving between his Quaker Trial recess.
He truly is the most caring person I know.
So wisdom, never more. Never more...

Chuck this!
As David and I prepare for Thanksgiving in Edmonton,
one of our major requests is to live it up at Chuck E. Cheese's.
Because, hey why the hell not. And besides David has never been there. Ok and Jalen & Kennedy love it too!
Anyway, I used to work there when I was 15. It was the best job I ever had...trust me.
Free candy, tokens, toys, discounted pizza and every so often, a TALL Chuck or Helen Henny
would appear...that was just crazy stupid fun!
So today my friend Sid that writes for the Montreal Gazette sent me a story he has going around his office. And really I had to post this story below as it deals with both THE LAW (for Davids sake) and also for the laughter of myself once dressing as the giant rat...IMAGINE!
+ + + + +
Angry mother batters giant rat
Chuck E. Cheese's is pizza and paradise for
children, but not so for giant
rats that cross angry mothers.
"The rodent got ransacked," Macon, Ga., police
officer Roy Chesnutt said of
the alleged beating the restaurant chain's mascot - a gray rodent with large
front teeth - received at the hands of 31-year-old Keisha Guiche.
The incident
occurred June 27 when the Macon woman visited the local Chuck
E. Cheese's restaurant to celebrate her child's birthday. Police reports say
Guiche was frustrated that the mascot, 17-year-old Jasmine Murchison, was
spending more time with other children and not paying enough attention to
her child.
The costumed Murchison and an assistant were leading other children
in a
dance at the time Guiche became upset, Chesnutt said. She failed to get
their attention despite her vocal protests.
"She asked them, 'Hey, what about
my kid? Pay attention to my kid!' She
expected them to stop, but they didn't," the officer said.
Guiche grabbed
Murchison by the arm. But Murchison allegedly ignored the
irate mother and continued dancing with the children.
According to witnesses,
Guiche then said, "I'm going to whip Chucky E.
Cheese's ass if she gets out of that costume."
Guiche allegedly threw a slice
of pizza at Murchison and then punched the
mascot.
Murchison reported the incident to her manager who called police.
Guiche
admitted to police that she grabbed the mascot initially but denied hitting
her.
No arrests were made. Murchison's family has urged her to file charges,
Chesnutt said. If she does, Guiche would face simple battery charges for the
tossed pizza slice.

guilty of the blog!
ok ok ok.
So the pblog has been on vacation for a short while.
Sorry to make ya cringe everyday that you delightfully check over here at
this funny site and sadly find NO updates.
I have to let you know that lately I have been exhausted with life.
AND.
WELL.
IF YOU AREN'T HAPPY WITH THAT EXCUSE, THEN FINE, HERE IS AN EXPLANATION:
A) My brown belt passage: NOVEMBER 18TH, 6:00PM, HONBU (YES, HONBU.) creates an immense load of pressure on me to train as much as possible with no real support from anyone I train with (what else is new?).
B) THE PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT course Tuesday nights at Concordia University
which runs until November 23rd. To better train me to be a better bitch at work!
C) Physio therapy, yes I hate the pain that I endure on a daily basis since I was 14 and got therapy back then. So I did the smart thing and am milking my benefits as much as I can. So now I have the lovely Genevieve rub away and acupuncture/shock the hell out of my back weekly.
D) My lawyer, is in St.Thomas Ontario for a painfully long trial, thus no time to visit sweet sweet Montreal for creme brulee. etc.
E) Tomorrow, yes tomorrow I am getting my wisdom teeth pulled.
But not to worry I am excited. I love the dentist. I wanted to marry a dentist. But then I found out that Lawyers have cooler uniforms.
Maybe it will go poorly? if so, then this will bring forth a new fear of the crew that admire my "GREAT" Alberta hygeine for once! I always say that with the dentist, at least you leave lookin good. Whereas the doctor you're always in pain and nothing great can really come of a visit. Besides being in bed feeling like crap for a week or misc bloodwork, yah now thats just not fun at all.
*FUN FACT: Quebecers have the #1 worst teeth in Canada.
F) Thanksgiving, David and I are going to my REAL home to relax (for once).
G) well Halloween....should I go as the ape again dressed also in my karate dogi? most certainly.
H) November 6th, Matt Good (finally) returns to Montreal after being SICK this past June.
So wish me luck, and if I am lucky maybe my dentist will let me keep my teeth!

Miner looks to sell B.C. ghost town
Yours for $7-million: Pool, ocean view, absolutely no neighbours
By PAUL WALDIE
Tuesday, September 14, 2004
Rudy Nielsen has dealt with some unique properties in his 40 years of selling ranches and vacation homes around British Columbia, but he has never tackled anything quite like this before.
Mr. Nielsen is selling an entire town, Kitsault, B.C., to be exact, and the asking price is $7-million. For that price, the buyer gets not only 92 houses perched on a mountain's edge in a tranquil ocean inlet, nestled in a dense evergreen forest and surrounded by coastal mountain vistas, but also:
Seven apartment buildings, containing 210 suites;
One fully equipped hospital, with a never-used X-ray machine;
Two recreation centres, complete with a swimming pool, gym, hot tub, racquetball courts, library, theatre, curling rink and Maple Leaf pub;
A brand-new shopping mall that includes facilities for a liquor store, bank, post office and several specialty stores;
More than 80 hectares of wilderness, including roughly one kilometre of beach.
The town, about 140 kilometres northeast of Prince Rupert, has been abandoned since the nearby molybdenum mine closed in 1982. After a series of mergers, Kitsault ended up in the hands of U.S. copper giant Phelps Dodge Corp., and the company has decided to put the whole place up for sale.
Kitsault "is not something we have any plans for, so it's an opportunity," company spokesman Ken Vaughn said.
"If there is someone out there with some plans to make good use of the property, then maybe we can help make that happen."
Mr. Nielsen's company, Niho Land & Cattle Co., based in New Westminster, was recently retained to market the town, and so far he has attracted one interested buyer, a U.S. company that specializes in recreational property.
Mr. Nielsen won't name the potential buyer, but said that "most people are going to look at this town to take the houses and sell them as single-family units in the $69,000 price range."
He added that most of the houses have three bedrooms, full basements and fireplaces.
The sale would end the short but colourful history of Kitsault, which once boasted 1,200 residents. The area has long been associated with silver mining and the gold rush. That changed in the 1960s with the discovery of molybdenum, an additive used in steel production.
In 1978, Amax Canada Development Ltd., whose U.S. parent was the world's largest producer of molybdenum, acquired the site from a copper producer and announced plans to develop a $200-million mine at Kitsault.
The project opened in 1981, after a bitter dispute with local natives over the disposal of waste from the mine, and the company spent $50-million building the town site. Soon there was a road to Terrace, B.C., almost four hours away by car, and regular flights to Prince Rupert.
But the molybdenum market went into a tailspin, and in November, 1982, Amax announced a temporary shutdown. The mine never reopened, and in July, 1983, the last townsfolk departed.
Mr. Nielsen said Kitsault is in remarkably good shape, considering how long it has been left alone. A caretaker employed by Phelps Dodge has been living on site for years and has kept most of the buildings heated and in decent condition.
Power lines, telephone service and sewage connections are intact, he noted, and even the boulevards have been maintained.
The X-ray machine in the hospital is still in its plastic wrapping, and the gym is in such good condition that the caretaker hosts an annual basketball match with his friends every New Year's Eve.
Mr. Nielsen said he visits Kitsault regularly because he owns land in the area.
"When you are walking the streets, there is nobody around, and it really gives you a weird feeling like, 'Holy smokes!' " he said, adding that he loves racing through stop signs at top speed.
"You really feel like you are on another planet."
Please stay tuned for more ideas...in the works...
With an Ocean view, this price can't be beat!

what a heel
After entering our friends wedding at a whopping 6' it is true that
according to mac online:
The Ultimate Sex Appeal Item Is...
...stiletto heels.
Men and women both get their kicks when ladies wear the perfect pair of spiky high heel shoes.
That's the word, albeit a bit unscientific, from Britain's Femalefirst Web site, which conducted an online survey of 55,000 male and female visitors to find out which items of clothing added the most sex appeal. Women were asked which item of clothing they wear to make themselves feel sexier, while men were asked which item of clothing makes a woman look sexier. And stiletto heels--the higher the better--came in at No. 1 for both genders with 85 percent of men choosing stilettos and 56 percent of women opting for them as the essential item for seducing a potential partner.
Why stiletto heels? In addition to improving the look of their legs, women said the right shoes made them feel more confident. Men said spiky heels were an attention-grabber and admitted being mesmerized by a woman in heels.
Women's choice for the top five clothing items that add sex appeal:
1. Stiletto heels
2. Expensive lingerie
3. Stockings
4. Derrière-hugging trousers or jeans
5. Cleavage-revealing tops
Men's choice for the top five clothing items that add sex appeal:
1. Stiletto heels
2. Slit skirts
3. Stockings
4. Mini-skirt
5. Jeans and a T-shirt
Luckily I have a tall man in my life with stunning blue eyes to stare into forever and ever and, well, EVER.

To: Grandma and Grandpa on their 50th
I feel it is important to honor your fifty years of marriage.
Commitment should be recognized.
Fifty golden years of love and a beautiful life together should also be an inspiration…to us all.
Love can be strong, yet tender all at once.
Love cannot function on its own. Love is to be shared.
The best team wins the race…and only by working together.
I admire your happiness…and you give me courage in love.
Completeness is an inspiration and a goal for many marriages.
Your love once started with only a simple photograph placed inside a high school locker door.
You both told me that: Love could last across any distance if it were indeed true.
I love you and understand that life is about love, friendship and most of all: family.
Small saplings were once planted in front of your yard along the path, and through the years I have watched them grow.
Each time I visit, the now enormous trees brush past my sleeve reminding me of the roots that have been growing deep and have been spreading out with every passing year.
A tree is also the symbol of the strong beauty in your lives and your gift of life to future generations.
I couldn't imagine love without it being led by your now truly GOLDEN example!
Your beautiful life together is an inspiration to me and to everyone.
Grandparents are often the very model of lasting marriage;
A toast! To their union and a lifetime of wonderful memories!
Love Always,
Patti

You do the math
Math quiz:
a) What Makes 100%?
b) What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
c) Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
d) We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.
e) How about achieving 103%?
f) What makes up 100% in life?
So here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If: A B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then: H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
And: K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But: A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND,
look how far ass kissing will take you:
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So,
one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there,
it's the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.
a) What Makes 100%?
b) What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
c) Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
d) We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.
e) How about achieving 103%?
f) What makes up 100% in life?

And: K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But: A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND,
look how far ass kissing will take you:
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So,
one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there,
it's the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

gone fishin'
This marks the long weekend for me.
I have a wedding to attend in a brown dress dip-dyed neon pink and teetering
on *impossibly high heels.
*The heels took me 40minutes to master, so when I state "impossibly" I'm not joking.
Then off to David's cottage on the lake. A nice swim will be in store!
AND our friend Matt's Birthday as well!
So this weekend, while you are off reading and whimpering about russian school children terrorist seizures etc, please read the following post!
This is just a brief excerpt from my favorite blogger himself:
Matt Good. His blog is always razor sharp.
Yet his Mblog sometimes scares me.

You can fight cancer. But until what causes it is exacted, a cure remains elisuve. And so the fighting continues.
Chechnya was first occupied by Russia in 1859, following a failed attempt in the 1830’s. On both occasions those native to the Caucasus offered fierce resistance.
Following the revolution in 1917, Dagestan, which includes Chechnya, declared its independence and was not occupied again until 1923, when Bolshevik forces entered the region. Soon after, the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was formed, which would last until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Like other states in the region (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan), Chechnya declared its independence after the fall of the Soviet Union, a declaration that Russia refused to acknowledge, a refusal that would, in the mid nineties, lead to a prolonged and confused war in Chechnya. During this period, Chechen extremists began to employ terrorist methods against both Russian military and civilian targets in both Chechnya and Russia itself.
Recently two Russian airliners were blown up while in flight by two passengers carrying explosives. A Moscow metro station was also recently attacked by a woman strapped with high explosives. A group called the Islambouli Brigades claimed responsibility for both on a website, pledging that the attacks were “in support” of Chechen Muslims. Yesterday a school in Ossetia was over-run by militants also believed to be linked to militants acting on behalf of the Chechen cause.
More than sustaining an empire, attempting to control a failing one is equitable to keeping a tiger by the tail.
Terrorism is the poor man’s way of fighting formidable militaries. If one cannot purchase fighter jets and bombers, military vessels, and a whole host of other weapons, then the use of terror becomes one of the few options left. And while terrorist actions are exploited by those who are victimized by them as “cowardly” and “inhumane” attacks by lunatics with no regard for life or the law (which they are), the examination of root causes are always conveniently omitted (which are usually just as cowardly and inhumane).
Terrorism is the tool of the under equipped and the under funded. It has become prevalent because it is an affordable and effective way of combating nations with highly developed militaries and intelligence capabilities. Not ironically, those nations which have imperially governed or involved themselves in the politics of foreign nations for exploitative purposes are the most common terrorist targets.
Thus, what created terrorism?
Religious ideologies?
Political ideologies?
Or imperial ideologies?
