I was quite a sensitive kid, if I ever broke anything would really worry about it, whereas my brother was the opposite and could not give a hoot.
My phone's battery is acting crazy now, I think the whole phone is getting old and would probably need to be changed. I'd like to have a smartphone but don't want a Blackberry or an iPhone, somehow all the people I know who have some complain about them, I prefer to have a less known brand that will give me less trouble...

And I'm quite the type to feel very bad if I break something myself, I feel your pain guys...

I hope Greg is doing well. Thinking of you 1 day post op.

I love my iPhone and when I 1st got it I connected it to iTunes to download. What I didn't know is that my iCloud was engaged. EVERYTHING on my computer ended up on my phone. I didn't need EVERYTHING on it! I can't delete any pictures or files off my phone and cant turn off iCloud cause then the entire phone gets erased. I was telling a doc at work about it and he gave me some advice on what to do. He said I had to download the iCloud program and try to erase it that way. I wrote it down because it was blowing my technophobe brain out. Lisa, lucky that your husband was able to figure it out.


What a dreary cold day here in Toronto. I have a halloween party to go to tonight. Im not even sure Im in the mood. I don't want to dress up. LOL The hostess said "wear your uniform and be a sexy nurse". I don't look like a porn nurse when I go to work. I don't wear little low cut short dresses, thigh highs with garter belts or stilettos. :bang head: ** big sigh ** I found a devil cape with ears that Im wearing over a black outfit. Ok, top is low cut and I have a nice undergarment to wear with it. And guess what my costume will be next year?

Any exciting plans for the weekend?

Off to the gym. There are better looking guys on the weekends to look at. During the week it looks like cardiac rehab.

Well have fun if you go to the party Judy. Haven't been to a Halloween party in a few years, think I just made my own costume, splattered some blood on a white shirt.

I'm having a quiet saturday night, stay in and watch the X-factor. I know I know, I'm out of control.

You are SO wild Wes! LOL I have to go or else my gf will get mad. LOL She and her husband have a lot of bbq's (in summer) and theme parties. Their parties are actually really fun. They play a lot of 70's-80's music which is nice. Ahhhh, memories. Will be nice to catch up with some I haven't seen in a while.

I think its just the weather bumming me out today. I felt better after my workout. Instead of driving home I took a detour. I went to try on some Rolex at a shop downtown that carries pre-owned watches. I don't know if I should be happy or sad I went. I tried on a Daytona which I liked, surprisingly, and realized they wear small for 40mm. I tried on an Explorer II 39mm which also fit pretty comfortably. The last one I tried on was a Sea Dweller, V series, ? 40mm? It was a bit thick, but honestly, I got used to it. I wore it for a while and decided it really wasn't that much thicker than the Omega PO at 37.5mm. I liked the SD better. BUT, even used the SD was quite a bit more than a new PO. I also tried on the Sub and still way too big and bulky. The lugs went right off my wrist. Thats the one I would get if it came in a smaller size. Was nice to go to that part of town again. The rain had stopped and was not that crowded so I strolled around the neighbourhood. There weren't any Ferrari's, Porches, Lambo's lining the streets yet but they will be there tonight.

Hope its a good weekend for everyone.

The Daytona is the most comfy watch I have ever owned. You should get it, Judy.

It was nice thats for sure Art. It was a black dial with silver-black subdials. I found it a bit hard to see with the black background. I think next watch will be either black or blue. I still haven't ruled out a DJ with smooth bezel, oyster bracelet with sticks in either colour. The Breitling Galactic 36mm fit me well too. And of course those Tudors which I liked. Only thing stopping me from either of those is the diamond bezel. I just don't like it with sticks. Seems a bit off..

That darned SD looked good. I'll put up a pic of it tomorrow.

That's why I got rid of the Daytona, too hard to read.

Yes, what Art says. Glad you're getting good care.

I like that banana tree, Art! When you pick them locally, do you wait until they turn yellow?
