Not impressed with Brodeur's antics tonights. Now the controversy, do they play Luongo on Wed? #
@twister65 gotta give it a couple of weeks to get their legs. First few shows are always #fail in reply to twister65 #
@drunkenfools same here. Wife was up all night coughing. I got at most 30 mins of sleep (non continuous too). Thank god I can work frm home. in reply to drunkenfools #
Wife has bronchitis. That sucks bigtime, since she can't take anything for it due to being preggers. Just sleep, liquids and humidifier. #
w00t!! RT @RevDale: Canada's Ashleigh McIvor wins Gold in womens Ski Cross Final #Olympics #
Go #Canada Go! beat those germans, like we did in double ya double ya two! 😛 Yes, I went there!\ #
(the WW2 comment was a joke, of course!) #
What I'd like to know about the CAN-GER game is how the %$)(& did that puck go through the net? I thought that was physically impossible? #
@twister65 I believe it, I have just never seen it in my 35 years of watching hockey. in reply to twister65 #
I'm your turbo lovaaaaaah! Tell me there's no other. I'm your turbo lovaaaaah. Better run for cover! #
#GoCanadaGo ! You can do it! Iggy, give us another hat trick! #van2010 #olympics #
Wow, never would have thought Canada would be up 4-1 at the end of the 1st. I had predicted 4-2. Now revised to 7-3 for Canada. #
@sproudfoot I fully agree. #GoCanadaGo But don't rest, cuz Ovi and the Russians can come back hard. in reply to sproudfoot #
4 medals for Canada, and the hockey team eliminated Russia. What a great day for Canada in the Olympics. #GoCanadaGo #van2010 #olympics #
@netfrost I stuck by 7-3… teehee 🙂 🙂 in reply to netfrost #
I now wonder, and hope I'm not getting ahead of myself; will we see a Canada/USA final for gold, or Canada/Sweden? #van2010 #olympics #
Future looks good 2. Women's hockey guaranteed a medal. Men & Women's curling is very strong. 3 men in 500 speed skating, Rochette 4 figure #
@twister65 no reason to also block the 2 spots in front of you. 🙂 #
@twister65 the side by side thing, I agree. it happens a lot in winter, and can be caused by other bad parking jobs. But 2 in the front too? #
@Sandman71 There was one front side, but they pulled away before I took the pic. They shook their head at that car too. 😛 in reply to Sandman71 #
err @twister65, I swear i'm not talkin to myself! 😛 #
Crap, posting to my blog reminds me, its the end of the month, gotta make another #Sens calendar for March #
@twister65 Looks to only be taking 2 spots though, not 4. That Ford also looked pretty new, so makes you wonder (1/2) in reply to twister65 #
@twister65 (2/2) if he/she purposely parked that way so not to get scratched. Now that's a huge pet peeve of mine when people do that. #
@twister65 I dunno. I get back in my car & re-park if I notice I parked badly. I also make sure I leave enough room so the driver can (1/2) #
@twister65 (2/2) have enough room to get into their car. I guess I expect others to be as courteous and thoughtful. #
(I also really hate it when I have to climb thru the passenger side because some moron parked too close and I can't even get in my own car). #
I've even had it once where I had to climb in from the back tailgate, because morons on each side boxed me in. Now that was interesting! #
@twister65 My female cat started being a shoulder cat lately too, but she drapes across both shoulders and neck. Wonder why that is. in reply to twister65 #
@twister65 last week she even jumped on me frm ground while I was standing straight up & laid down on my shoulders. #
@twister65 17? wow. Ours is 11. Still acts like a kitten. Our 11yr old male is gettin cataracts so will probably b blind in a couple of yrs #
@chrisavery hope you didn't book with Go Travel. They went bankrupt, all flights cancelled. in reply to chrisavery #

2 golds, 1 silver, 1 bronze and Team Canada makes it to the hockey gold medal finals. It was a good day for Canada! #van2010 #olympics #
@twister65 I almost simultaneously crapped my pants and had a heartattack. That was a very exciting 2 minutes! in reply to twister65 #
2 more gold medals for #Canada Woohoo! Brings the total gold to 12, 23 medals total. with 2 more guaranteed, beats the 24 we had in Turin. #

Canada finally wins gold on home soil! Go #Canada go! #Olympics #Van2010 Grats Bilodeau! #
@chrisavery Bell doesn't either. U have 2 floater days that you can take either Jan 2nd, Family day or Easter Monday. I'm on vacation so off in reply to chrisavery #
Finally going to go see what all the excitement about Avatar is about. #
Avatar was OK. The 3d was pretty neat, the effects great as well story was OK (very predictable). #
I'm gonna miss the first 2 periods of tonight's men's olympic hockey game cuz I have to go to pre-natal classes. ergh! #
@chrisavery My wife keeps saying he looks like a child rapist, but that's cuz she's a Flames fan. in reply to chrisavery #
@twister65 I'm not convinced its people singing the Ole Ole song. I think its being played on the PA system. In any case, it has to stop! in reply to twister65 #
Room prepped for painting. Lunchtime, then its time to paint the baby's room. Did I mention I hate painting? #
First coat of paint is done. I %*&%()# despise painting inside of a closet. Had never done it before. Not sure if I'll put a 2nd coat there #
@chrisavery Sweden is expected to be in the top 3 #fb in reply to chrisavery #
Can you be considered an Olympic junkie if you watch 10-12 hours of Olympic coverage daily? #
Though with the painting today all I did was listen to it from 2 rooms away… #
@twister65 Aye, those wipeouts were insane. Takes not only skill, but courage. Heard women go about 120km/h and men 140km/h on that track in reply to twister65 #
The mystery of the blue lines on the ski slope erxplained: http://tinyurl.com/ylcaot4 #
Blh, breaktime is done. back to applying the 2nd coat of paint. What a way to spend a vacation…. #
did I mention I hate painting? 🙂 #
Nesbitt wins gold!! #
Canad gets another gold medal. Nesbitt wins the 1000 speed skating. #Olympics #Van2010 #
Anyone using Google Buzz that I'm not following? http://www.google.com/profiles/lgareau #
@stevetilley That song is severely getting on my nerves too. Its probably the only thing I won't be missing once the Olympics are done. in reply to stevetilley #
And on that note, go Canadian hockey team! #Olympics #van2010 #
Team Canada had me worried there for a second. Glad they got the Swiss monkey off their back. Bring on Team USA Saturday! #Olympics #van2010 #
@twister65 I read about that last night (and about Dylan Black). What was on this morning? in reply to twister65 #
@twister65 I wonder if that's just a placeholder for a week or 2 til a new team/show comes on. in reply to twister65 #
@twister65 I honestly stopped listening to Virgin since the switch from The Bear. In the car its usually a CD or Team1200 during the week in reply to twister65 #
@twister65 I only really listen to it when my alarm goes off (so for like 5 minutes at most), and on weekends. #
@twister65 or when Jim Rome is on Team1200. I can't stand that guy. So much dead air between sentences. Not sure how he's so popular. #
@twister65 Bear/Virgin has always had funny ppl in the morning. Bear's Breakfast, Rude Awakening, etc.. Probably new, funny ppl on the way in reply to twister65 #
@twister65 The move isn't surpringing though. Virgin's been hurting in/ratings. Morning show used 2 B #1 yrs ago, but hasn't been in a while #
@twister65 ROFL! That's hilarious and so random! Got pictures by any chance? Unless you're talking bottles of… 😛 in reply to twister65 #
@twister65 Jay & Gonzo will be taking over Virgin morning show on Monday w/ another unnamed cohost. Rumor is that it may be Kath Thompson. #
@twister65 I like Gonzo. Kath is good solo/produced segments, but I don't see her as show host with other ppl. #
@twister65 I agree. At first glance it doesnt sound to be as good (or better) of a morning show. I guess time will tell. in reply to twister65 #
@NachosAtMidnite Virgin's morning show. The show and 2 of the 3 hosts got canned yesterday in reply to NachosAtMidnite #
@NachosAtMidnite Cub and Kitty yeah. Only Jay remains. Sucks for Cub, he's been there for many many years (was on evenings before) in reply to NachosAtMidnite #
@twister65 That's just 2 funny! All we get is a daily visitor of the bunny kind. Crawls under the fence & hops arnd. Drives our cats nuts! in reply to twister65 #
@NachosAtMidnite I'm sure Cub won't be unemployed long. He's very talented at what he does. in reply to NachosAtMidnite #
@twister65 They updated mine as well. My house is no longer in bog. U can see my fence, but my shed isn't there, so it was b4 last summer in reply to twister65 #
Gld medal #4 for Canada (Men's skeleton) Not bad for having never won gold on home soil before Vancouver. #Olympics #van2010 Go Canada! #
@netfrost Arby's is finally open in Kanata? Hmm, might be worth the trek from Orleans. in reply to netfrost #

http://twitpic.com/11zhyt – My famous SuperBowl nachos that I only make once a year. #
I tried to watch 4 hours of commercials, but it kept on being interrupted by 30 seconds of Superbowl. #
The number of commercials was totally ridiculous. And that CTV Olympic song? It sucked the first time around! Even more so the 90th time! #
Great game though. Have to hand it to the Saints, they played a great game. #

Ah, now on vacation til the 22nd. 🙂 Starting it off by going to the Sens/Flames game tonight. Sitting just behind the penalty box. Woohoo! #
Was sitting first row right behind the Sens penalty box. Amazing seats, the view at that level is AWESOME! #
@twister65 I hadnt been activated yesterday, just got it today. I read it'll take a week to get everyone done #Buzz in reply to twister65 #
Habs stop the Caps' win streak at 14. Caps at least came back from being down 5-2 to tie it, and get 1 point for going to OT. #
@chrisavery Can I hide in one of your suitcases? in reply to chrisavery #
@chrisavery too true. in reply to chrisavery #
Ooooooooh! #Starcraft2 beta to begin this month! I hope I can get in! #
Rangers have put Brashear on waivers. Interesting….. #
@twister65 So Leaclaire is hurt again, or is he still the backup for tonight? #Sens in reply to twister65 #

Great #Sens vs Caps game and a great #Survivor Heroes vs Villains episode. It was a great night of teevee! #
And with the Sabres losing, Ottawa takes over the lead in the Northeast division and #3 in the conference. Repeat of 2007? I hope so! #Sens #
@Rick_E_83 I don't use my Sandman71_work anymore, haven't for a long time. Follow this one instead 🙂 in reply to Rick_E_83 #
@Rick_E_83 the good thing about twitter is that you can block people. Tweetdeck even has "block and report spam" under a user's Other Action in reply to Rick_E_83 #
No more Picard? Yes!!! #Sens #
@Rick_E_83 I like Kuba. Less is the one we need to get rid of next IMO in reply to Rick_E_83 #
@Rick_E_83 Err *Lee, not Less. Less is the way he plays 😛 in reply to Rick_E_83 #
Looking at Cullen's injuries. He's really injury prone. Lots of concussions, leg and lower body injuries. Hmmmm #Sens #
I'm curious about 2 things. Where Cullen will fit in the lineup, and which other D will the #Sens bring up, since we're now 1 short. #
Unless Murray has another deal in the works to shed a forward and get another D #
@Rick_E_83 Lee is already being brought up to replace the injured Campoli (long term). Still short a D in reply to Rick_E_83 #
@Rick_E_83 or maybe we'll get something in the #Panthers clearing sale. Everything must go! Up to 75% off! http://tinyurl.com/yjx5e4e in reply to Rick_E_83 #
@Rick_E_83 And it'd probably only be for a couple of games. Karlsson is expected to be back after the Olympics in reply to Rick_E_83 #
ROFL! Rumours that the #Sens are top 3 teams sniffing around Comrie… AGAIN. #
Too funny. Deal was originally Cullen for 2nd round pick. Murray tossed in PIcard as an afterthought. Here, take our garbage. LOL #Sens #
@kenGe Adding Cullen to the mix is a good thing, regardless of injuries. I'm just wondering where he's going to fit, other than our PP in reply to kenGe #
Hypothetical: Would you trade away Leclaire and use Elliot & Brodeur as your goailes? #
@Rick_E_83 You were right. Derek SMith has been called up from BIngo. in reply to Rick_E_83 #
Now to hope that Volchie and his agent accept teh contract that was offered to them this morning. We absolutely need to keep him. #
Woohoo! RT @sskroughriders: Fantuz set to be in Green & White http://tinyurl.com/yfkr7jx #

@twister65 watched the video. Both my wife and I are speechless. I'd guess they're going to pad those posts or do something before the event in reply to twister65 #
@chrisavery Renting. IIRC, contract isn't up til this coming October. in reply to chrisavery #
@chrisavery Yeah, I'll try that. Gotta watch stuff I've got taped first though. 😛 in reply to chrisavery #
@twister65 Make the sides higher, or put something in front of those metal beams. Or maybe the CDN gvt will enforce airbags 😛 in reply to twister65 #
Great opening ceremonies to the #Olympics Much better than I expected (though it'll be real hard to better China's ceremonies). #
Happy that Gretzky got to light the torch. If one Canadian athlete is known the world over, he's the one. #
@chrisavery Fully agreed. So one joint err poll didn't go up. Who cares, it was still a pretty awesome opening ceremonies. in reply to chrisavery #
Shit breaks, nothing is 100% perfect. They recovered nicely IMO. Get over it and enjoy the games. and be proud to be Canadian. #Olympics #
After a day of watching the #Olympics its time to watch the #Sens beat the #Redwings Go Sens Go! #
Canada wins its first medal of the Vancouver #Olympics Heil wins silver, just barely beaten out of gold by US' Kearney @ Women's moguls. #

@twister65 its actually an 'all coverage' insurance.. would also cover earthquake, etc… #
at my old apartment building it was required. couldn't rent without it. Same now with my mortgage company. #
