Ares was hot, but it was really all about Cupid:

I thought thats where it was from but I couldn't remember which book. Now I want to re-read them again - for like the 6th time.

I'm pretty sure I remember almost the same thing from one of Ann Rices Vampire books,

Just reading the headline quickly I immediately thought they were trying to outlaw this:

I'm seriously considering having my wedding in Iceland. It looks so beautiful and my fiance really wants to go there.

I live in Ontario and lately on the radio we have all sorts of tourism ads for Michigan. If they work correctly it will be much less under-rated soon.

I guess I'm lucky because most people peg me as gay just by looking at me so I don't have to make the choice. I don't think I could handle not being out at this point in my life. And luckily I have had very few even minor problems about it during the variety of jobs I have had. But I do live in a very large city in…

Sorry for the grumpy and missing the joke. I think the heat was getting to me. That and I just broke my cell phone :( Will try to look closer for sarcasm and joking in the future.

It is currently 27 C (feels like 33 C with the humidex) in the greater Toronto area where I currently reside. I personally think that is more than hot enough to justify skimpy summer clothing - not saying this girls clothing was skimpy, just that even if she had gone to school in a bikini I would sympathize. I still…

One of my earliest memories is of having the boy next door baby sit. He threw a party and trashed the house. I remember being scared of all the big kids in the house. I'd consider that anecdotal though.

I agree with you about everything except pegging. If pegging wasn't a different term it would make it much harder to search for on the internet, if one was inclined.

I'm just starting planning my wedding. My GF and I are both really laid back and easy going types. She might wear a dress, or maybe not. I've decided I want to wear cargo shorts and a dressy ish shirt. I have a rather large extended family but she has no one and I don't really want to get into the whole wedding thing…

I'm from Ontario and I love east coast accents, especially Newfoundland. I have traveled throughout NFLD, NB and NS. Although I will admit that some of the Newfies I met in Newfoundland had such thick accents we couldn't understand each. One person I stopped and asked for directions gave up trying to understand my…

Does anyone know an alternative to jumping jacks. Due to my body type jumping jacks are terrible but I would really like something equivalent. In the past when I have had to do them I either modified them so I didn't actually jump, or when I was jumping I only waved one arm and used the other to hold my chest still. I…

This is anecdotal and no one died but when I was in kindergarden my class went on a field trip to a dairy farm, where we all had some milk 'straight from the cow'. We all got varying degrees of sick and 2 kids almost died. I was in quaranteen for several months. Apparently it was just some fluke bacteria (the farmers…

I'm not exactly sure that meditation is just "self-help terminology" but I get what you are saying (I first started learning meditation in martial arts). I think you are right though and that it is just about consciously relaxing (I'm not sure that is exactly the right term but close enough). However as someone who…

I have been struggling with this issue all my life. I get what you are saying about cloaking everything in self help terms. I hate all that crap too. However there is a difference between distraction and meditation. I use distraction when I am having a panic attack (some times it works...sometimes I need drugs).…

Thanks for the heads up. I can just imagine myself finding out about the "puff of smoke" alert message the hard way. I think I'm going to order a bunch. I'm having alot of fun with the project I'm doing now.

Thanks, this is really helpful. Do you know if they have voltage regulators built in or does that need to be added. I couldn't tell (I'm still pretty new at this).

I'm in the middle of making an 8 channel relay. About halfway through I realized it would have been way cheaper to just buy one. However I have learned a lot so I think it was worth the extra money.
