That's rather odd! :p

Reminds me of my physics teacher in high school. I got the answers to the problems right, but I sort of deviated from the "correct" solution. I sort of got creative and reshuffled to get my own solution. Got points shaved off for that. I mean, come on! Do you always, always use the long solution in real life? I was so frustrated that day I cried during my next class.

Ugh, I hate teachers like that! There's no way but their way. Annoying.

I once had a manager get pissy when he asked the definition of "NSF" and I replied "Non-sufficient funds." Completely correct, but he meant National Sanitation Foundation..........

Valentine's Day
Just wanted to pop my head in and say hi to everyone. Sorry I've been MIA but have had a good dose of tunnel vision waiting on the passport to be mailed back to hubbie.

Hope everyone is doing well. I miss y'all......

Take care and stay warm this weekend.

PS
I have a feeling Tuyeniee is outside making snow angels all over his property. Could you imagine, snow angels with butt cracks? :eek:

Hope everyone on the East is safe. My cousin in Connecticut had to go to work in a blizzard. Same with my husband in ON. He also had to park his car on the street a few houses from home because the snow was knee-deep. Hope he doesn't get a ticket :p

I hope you feel better Mrs P!

My doc switched my meds. Dolcet gave me headaches, dizziness, and nausea. I'm now on Norgesic Forte, just some slight dizziness. My prescriptions says up to three a day, but I try to take only one.

So we went from snow and ice storm on Friday to nearly 50 degrees today...and back to freezing rain tomorrow :eek:

Another week of work and jumping every time my phone tells me I have email, hoping its my AOR. Though looking at the spreadsheet it looks like Ottawa is skipping them and just sending the PPR, so I may have a longer wait for better news lol

Hi Jim! It was like that last weekend. Our sidewalk flooded in certain areas (jerks who don't shovel) then froze over again. Like a skating rink!

I've heard June PPRs are going out from Ottawa :D

We still haven't gotten Stage 1 yet - two people who applied after we already have it. At least I can finally log into Ecas!

That was how it was for us, folks after us got it first, then it bounced back to the top of the line and worked its way back down to us. Hopefully you'll get yours soon!. And Ecas isn't all that good a tool, I've read of more than one person who was still listed as "Application Received" after they landed :eek:

Would be nice to get approved this month, though it's way ahead of what we were planning for. Think I can deal with that kind of problem

Hello everyone! Looking at the January spreadsheet looks like everything stopped right before it got to us. I've even resorted to checking my husband's email when he's asleep, in case we get an email. But noooo, nothing :(
