[QUOTE]<strong>Okay.  Well, next time, I'll make an effort to AW all the things that go right.</strong>  I just don't think there's any making people happy.<strong>  I mean, sure, I can post about the awesome pasta I had a couple of nights ago, or... something.</strong>  But, I will point out that when I was talking about my experience of 10 hours in the airport yesterday, I was sure to point out that I had fun with it and talked to lot's of people.  I know that in general, I'm kind of negative, so wanted to make sure I inserted that it wasn't totally awful either. Though I really could use a full leg and foot massage. lol

See---I'd like to hear about your awesome pasta.

I think it's just easy to focus on when I'm being negative because it sticks out more.  That's true for everyone.

Yeah, so the post I made months ago about sobbing so hard when I realized my cat wasn't coming home gets overshadowed.

I will defend Amoro here.  I had the same thought, which is why I did not include her in my previous statement.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF : You need to be in Eastern Ontario or Quebec. Otherwise it's just plain gross. It's gotta be the good crispy fat chips, with salty gravy and it has to be cheese curd. If it's just regular cheese, it's barfworthy. The furthest West I've ever had acceptable poutine was in Kanata (outside Ottawa), everything West of that is nasty.

Does this mean the poutine I had in Burlington wasn't good poutine?!?! For shame!

JessAndTrav

I agree with you, Nebb. She does post good times too. And I don't really have an issue with the complaints at all, but FFS, if you have a complaint, you don't have to justify why you're complaining about it. Sometimes, things just bother you...and that's perfectly normal.

Yep. Cheap imitation poutine.

In Western Quebec (Drummondville) they do a poutine festival. I've never felt so fat in my life. I was about to pop, I swear.

AmoroAgain

But you know, if I were to always go on about the pasta and all that stuff, then people would tell me shut up because I'm always bragging about being in italy.  It's really a no-win situation.  If you want to say I complain a lot, I'll take that, because I do.  But don't relate it to where I live or say that I can't complain BECAUSE of where I live.

This is true.  I think I just fell into the "Lynda AND Amoro" trap there.  And I totally get why Amoro is unhappy, I would be too in that same situation.

[QUOTE]I agree, fwiw, that Amoro and Lynda complain A LOT and mostly just post to complaint.  I get that.  I guess I'm trying to get other people to just come out and say what they mean.
Posted by danieliza1127[/QUOTE]

I don't mind the complaining; we all do it to some extent.  I am put off by Amoro's recent tendency to take out her "bad days" on the entire board.  I've liked her since my lurker days, but some of the things she's said to Rach and Meagan have been downright nasty.  It makes me sad, because Amoro-on-a-good-day is wicked fun.  But Amoro-on-a-bad-day?  She's kind of a bully.  :(

That said, I'd be all kinds of annoyed if I couldn't find an apartment that would accept pets, too.

Yeah, and what Nebb said. You'd better be talking VT here, if you were twenty minutes from me, I'mma death stare you through my screen.

We might as well say the Canadians should never complain because they live in a socialist paradise with free health care. :-)

I have never had poutine.

Hello Alix.  I'm not sure if you remember me, but I'm Moose.  I live a LOT further west than Oshawa.

You suck.

deepcovejackie

OK, I didn't defend my self last time and figured that not posting here on etiquette would be a solution.  I made the comments about the luger dying because I am a staff physician to the major trauma center he was flown to.  And if you guys for one second can imagine a whole city waiting in anticipation for something wonderful to happen (ie the olympics) and then something horrifying happens.  It would be like if someone dropped dead at your wedding.  I was horrified, not excited and by no means bragging.

I gave some information about HPV and PAP smears that was needed by two people posting in that thread.  Gardisil protects again 4 types of HPV, yes, but those are the 4 that are linked to cervical cancer.  There is alot of dangerous misinformation out there about womens health particulary.  I'm absolutely not in the habit of posting things just to sound like a smart-a$$.  I feel a responsibility as a physician and a clinical instructor to ensure that people have the right facts.

That's it.  Flame away.

I'm not sure if you're joking or if you actually don't find it awesome. In the US, people often lobby against single payer healthcare because they say Canada's system sucks. Except... well, I don't know that many Canadians feel that way, and not EVERY health care system has to be set up that way, you know?

Oh, and I can't believe no one has flamed Capri for coming into FFF last week and defending what she said in FFF last month. But talk about beating a dead horse...

I happen to think it's pretty great.  I do think there are better models, but all models have problems so really...

But yeah   I happen to love my health care.

I was in Ottawa and decided to try Poutine.
For some reason, I was thinking I needed to try and pronounce it with a French accent, but not knowing what that would be, I said, I'd like the poo-tan.
The waiter smiled at me so I immediately said, or is it poo-teen. And he said, poo-teen is just fine.
So, get it, eat it, love it.
Get home hours later and think about how I know a little Italian and my thought process was like this:

Hmm, "poo-tan" sounds like the equivalent of puttana in Italian.

Puttana in Italian means whore.

Holy ***. I told the waiter I'd like a whore!

No wonder he smiled like that at me. So polite though, he didn't laugh in my face!

NuggetBrain

This is a minor flame, but I do flame everybody in my post the other day who used the "well he's a guy, he probably forgot/didn't bother to look it up" excuse.  I hate when people do that.  He's a guy.  He's not an infant, or mentally disabled, or comatose.  Just because he has a penis dosen't mean that he's suddenly excused from basic courtesy like bothering to check the date of a wedding he's asked to be in sooner than 4 weeks prior.  Men aren't suddenly excused from being idiots because they're men.  It's a cop-out.   It's like women who use PMS as an excuse to act like a total bitchwhoar for 7 days out of the month.  Just because your vag is bleeding doesn't give you an excuse to act like a heifer.  I'm not talking about people who really DO have problems with PMS, but those who are all "I'm on my period, so I can act like a twatwaffle and my boyfriend/husband/fiance/family/friends will just have to deal with it because I'm on my peeeeeeriod!"

I thought two of the types caused the majority of cervical cancer cases, and the other two caused the majority of genital warts cases.
