    No way you can beat Jessica Simpson as far as that goes ... I think she's been pregnant for like 18 months. ;)

    Wow... That's quite long for an elephant! (Honestly, she doesn't look bad, but she's er... not my type, I guess.)

    That's funny Silvery, because I was washing the dishes today and wondering about how far along you actually were. Thank you for reading my mind and posting the info. :p

    Birth usually occurs around 38 weeks doesn't it? You still have a ways to go hon. Mesmero is wrong - you can still have a drink to celebrate - I would suggest a smoothie with lots of yoghurt and fruits and honey, but no egg-whites .

    LOL I've never liked Jessica Simpson much myself. She's a little too good at the stupid-blond-bimbo thing and I'm an advocate for smart blonds :D.

    Hehe, sorry, didn't know it was a sensitive subject. On the other hand, guessing by your other comments, you probably knew first hand what you were getting yourself into ;)

    Agreed! That's why she's not my type. And I prefer brunettes and blacks, usually. That doesn't mean she's ugly. Some people call her fat, but that's just a bit too much for me.

    Well more good news from Flixland --

    Today I learned that Visa froze my credit card or something, they weren't particularly clear on the matter, apparently not paying them does that, who knew ? My financial state is precarious because I haven't got a job, but last time I was in a interview I didn't get it because of precarious financial state Oh Irony how do I love thee let me count the ways !

    Also TELUS (my glorious cellular carrier) cut off my line which means my phone is now a glorified music/book/wifi widget thingy now. Oh and my secondary (and crappy) headphone also hit the dust today, so my cellphone is even more useless now.

    Glorious day !

    Well I'd feel sorry for you Flix but it looks like I'm more ****ed than you are right now :D. I'm going to go practice some deep breathing exercises and focus on the fact that things have no choice but to get better.

    Care for a crappy life contest ? I dunno about you, but I like my chances of winning :lol: Well at least I can joke about it.

    edit: For the record I'm not fishing for sympathies or anything, I just like to ***** about stuff, kinda like blowing up steam or something.

    ...blowing OUT steam :p. I'm only correcting that for you because you said you wanted people to help you perfect your English :D

    Naw, I don't want to have a contest, besides I'm not that inclined to elaborate. I was just blowing out steam as well.

    Ah yes, blowing out steam, makes more sense I realise what I've said might have been misconstrued for the worst...

    And here I am... from a country that hasn't got English as a formal language. I always thought it was blowing OFF steam. Is that something different or just totally wrong?

    Good thing you you still got your humor, Flix. As soon as you lose that, you're as good as dead, imo. I sure hope things will work out soon. I'm in a slightly similar situation, I guess. Also, I thought Canada is one of the most perfect countries you could live in.

    Things were pretty good until Creepy Harper's neo-con goons got into power and started behaving like the US' Republican Party and cutting budget to social services and redirecting it to the army. Yeah 'cause we're under serious military threat, I'm sure every terrorist out there is plotting to destroy Canada's evil influence in the world. :rolleyes:

    The Free Dictionary agrees with you. To add to the confusion, the Concise Oxford Dictionary only mentions "Letting off steam".

    :p Yah it is blowing off some steam. Nothing like having someone who should know better correcting wrong English with other wrong English. :thumb::outta:

    In my defence I have a rather lame excuse for that. I lived with a person who does not speak English as a first language for so long that I started picking up his way of saying some things. I even find myself changing the word order of sentences around sometimes so people don't exactly get what I mean.

    Last time I took a grammar evaluation test however I was in the top 97% for provincial standards. So I guess I really have no excuses :p. You can just call that a mind-slip.

    Rob bought me my own PS3 and copy of Resident Evil 5. We now have both machines set up on 2 separate TVs in the living room so we can play co-op online rather than split screen. My gaming obsession may be going a bit too far! :lol:

    You think that's bad, I let my best friend install his copy of Civ V on my laptop so we can easily play LAN games whenever he comes at my place.

    I also get upset whenever someone de-alphabetize my CD, DVD, and Games Discs. But I guess that's an entirely different story. I mean it's just plain annoying ! I'm also thinking of organizing my books using the dewey decimal classification, it just makes sense.
