re-connected
One day late last week a construction worker digging a hole at a new bridge site in Owen Sound accidentally severed some 2000 Bell telephone lines. It has caused quite a stir around the town as some people and businesses have been without phone service for the better part of a week. Phones, faxes, internet, debit machines, and even cell phones have all been affected. The rumor mill is already reeking of 'class action lawsuit' for loss of business, but I really don't think it's something that would actually fly in any court.
Unbeknown to me, anyone trying to call my Rogers cellphone, (my only line of communication), over the past 5 days have just been getting a busy signal. I've been able to make outgoing calls, and send/receive text messages; just no incoming calls. Weird, eh? Apparently cell phones rely on more than just towers. I had no idea.
Can't say I really noticed that my phone wasn't working - it's pretty typical for me to go weeks between phone calls. However, if you were one of the few trying to get through, it seems to be working again so feel free to call away.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of broken toe
"Ouch" is when you miss that last stair step and land, with your full weight, square on the end of your big toe.
On the plus side, it's a pretty shade of blue now.

It just breaks your heart (*sob*)
Today is the day that every 25-30 year old female has dreaded for the past 20 years.
The hope, the thought, the dream of a fairytale life has been brutally crushed.
We all take a collective deep breath in to calm the twinge of pain in our hearts; for on this day, we have all been stonewalled with the terrible news that we will never get the chance to marry a prince!
That ass Prince William has announced his engagement to his so called 'girlfriend'!!
What a Jerk!
(I bet that's not even her real hair colour)

Well, you get what you pay for.
I'm sure I've written about this before:
Back when my camera was still new and shiny (and under warranty) I took a lot of photos. Like, thousands. Really. Thousands. And once in awhile, one or two would look really awesome! So I would take these few outstanding photos and put them on display where other people could see them. And then the comments would come: "Amy! Your pictures are amazing!" "Wow! You've really got an eye for this!" "You should be doing something with your talent!" "You should think about doing this professionally!" And yes, someone even asked me to shoot her wedding (which I respectfully declined).
The 'talent' I have is called 'dumb luck', And this is actually what would happen if I were to listen to those people encouraging me:
That's right. I'd be the $25 photographer. I hope I get a brand new DSLR for my birthday! (but not really)
