Are you two stuck together at the hip? I knew this multiple wife thing would come back to haunt me!!

Nicole. You just made me cough up a piece of orange. Too funny.

I hope you didn't waste a good orange, darn it

I think I have been pressured into reading the Twilight books. My mom bought the books for my DD for getting Super Honor Roll at school. DD is 12. She started reading the first book but feels they may be a bit "old" for her. She asked me to read them first so I can help her with anything she doesn't understand. I am reading Denis Leary's "Why We Suck" right now... that's a long way from Twilight.


QUESTION:

Do we (a collective "women" we) need to bring dresses for dinner if we are not eating a Palo? I'm one of those moms who always makes sure her kids are dressed adorable, but I rarely take time to make sure I am adorable. The only time I wear make up is if someone dies or gets married.... I work from home, so I can wear shorts and T-shirts all day long and no one cares.

So... long story short... do I need to purchase a couple dresses?

I don't like how dresses fit me so I won't bring any. I will bring some skirts or dress pants and some nice blouses to wear to dinner.

I'm with you. My kids have great clothes - mainly because I like to only do laundry once a month (just kidding, but I'm sure glad DH doesn't read these boards). I ate clothes for myself. My best friends are my sweatshirts. But, I"m going to ATTEMPT to find a dress. I want one that makes me look like I'm a "fun" person, not someone who has been released from the nursing home for my once a month outing. I'm really bitter about this dress shopping, and feeling a little frumpy. I'm hoping to find something tomorrow.

DH and I don't really get the chance to go out all gussied up very often. I know that a few folks are planning to dress up for dinner a few nights so i'm bringing a few dresses with me...

Sooo glad to hear that

What is the dress code for Palo Brunch (non Podcast arranged)? The same as Palo dinner?

Canadian law allows firearms to be kept on private property? I thought that you had a more British approach to weapons.

In a nutshell......

We (did) actually have what is called a POL, possesion only licence, which allowed us to possess firearms that were already owned, but you could not buy or borrow a firearm.
This has now been phased out, and we now need a PAL.
To buy/borrow you needed a PAL, possession acquisition licence, which involves a background check.
These are for non-restricted weapons only, hunting rifles and shotguns.
Anything else, like pistols, automatics etc, you need a restricted firearms licence with a more thorough background check and visits from the RCMP whenever they feel like it to ensure proper storage, etc.
All firearms need to be registered with the government.
They have been talking about central armouries for a while now, but that is meeting with a lot of resistance.

It is ridiculous really.
Criminals don't register guns, law abiding citizens do.
But I may have to store my guns in an armoury and apply to retreive them before the hunt season.
Oh, and if the police show up at my house for some reason, they know I have hunting rifles, so they come with back-up, because I have regeistered them.
Bows and crossbows do not fall under any of these rules.

All licences require a gun safety course (3 days) and if you wish to hunt, a hunter safety course (3 days) before you can get your hunting licence.
I did all this back when I was 14 and the red tape was a lot easier.
DW is going thru all the rigamaroll now for hers.
All guns must be securely stored in a locked cabinet or safe, we just cant hang them on a wall anymore like my dad did with his.

That took longer than I thought, sorry.

Thanks for the civics lesson. Always wonderful to learn something.

Well, he is only in 4th grade, that's really why I said no. Trying to illicit a rise from the ladies, but it didn't work.

Oh! Well, if he is only in the 4th grade I woulnd't have said yes either. There isn't anything in the books that is inappropriate but I think to really "get" them a child (boy or girl) should be 13 or 14. (That's just my opinion for what its worth.)

Thank you for be a welcoming and caring coven.

Anyone who loves veggie vampire is welcome.

I think he is worried about the dazzling son part.....

The dazzling part is the best part - think what that would look like on the beach.

You daughter may never get to read them once you start. I loaned my niece my copy of Twilight and she wasn't reading fast enough for me so I bought another copy so I could read it AGAIN,

I am not getting WAY dressed up. I will probably bring some cute skirts and capri pants that a nice tshirt will work with for dinner and a nicer outfit/dress for dressier night.

I've decided that Facebook is just a little bit sad. I've found friends from high school that I haven't talked to since the day we graduated. These people that were such a huge part of my life and I thought life revolved around them, and for the last fifteen years I haven't even thought of some of them, let alone see them. Some of them I've completely forgotten existed. How sad is that???

What is the dress code for Palo Brunch (non Podcast arranged)? The same as Palo dinner?

No, just slacks and a nice shirt...no jacket

At brunch and high tea attire is "cruise casual" — no shorts, jeans, swimwear or tank tops.
