Iwar and jake i really love the pictures you posted of your cats! i really really love cats, even though i am mildly allergic it does not stop me from spending time with them. if i were to get a cat in the future i think i would either get a siamese just like the ones that Jade has or id get a hairless cat. and no its not because of Kat Von D! my cousin has a hairless cat and he is the sweetest cat i have ever come across. i also think they are more vulnerable and need you more becasue they need you to provide body heat or to make sure they are wrapped up in a blanket!

What a great thread! i really like gypsy garden but its seems youve already named it! i do not have a green thumb at all! i wish i did because i would love to be able to grown my own veggies, it also doesnt help that i live in a condo right now, not enough sunshine on my balcony. like ive mentioned before i come from a large Italian family and everyone gardened and thats how they fed there families on very little money. while i was growning up my mother had at least 3 gardens in the back and then 2 in the front which were supposed to be for flowers but it wasnt uncommon to find the fresh herbs and some tomatoes or garlic had migrated from the back to the front. we grew apples, cherry tomatoes, zuchinni, pumpkin, string beans, hot peppers, cuccumbers, garlic, peas(those were my favorite!!) tons of basil, mint, and parsely. i think a couple times we had lettuce too! until the day my grandfather (my moms dad) passed he would go out to his garden. he was so proud of it! even now a days when i go to my cousins houses and they have started families of their own and i see that they have started gardening it really makes me smile, its kind of like a piece of our history and it really brings back great memories. i really see it as something that is dying out as each new generation in my family is born, hopefully i can learn to grow my own garden one of these days. on my other side(portuguese) my gandmother grew a few veggies like tomatoes and beans but she was more into her roses! these big beautiful roses that you could smell from a mile away! my grandfather loved his grapes! it was the best sitting on the deck in the backyard under the grape vine canopy that he built. then every year he'd a make new batch of wine. oh and how could i forget the pear tree they had, it was HUGE! and i think thats why they ended up having to cut it down because it out grew the backyard. wow, feeling really nostalgic right now!

thats so awesome!!! congrats Ross! i hope you enjoy your new and important role here on LST!

what an awesome story and thanks for sharing Hogg. i really love those Stuart Cripwell rosettes!

Robin, i wish you only the best in your new endevor! i really hope that you enjoy the new path you are starting on!

hahhahaha YES another fan!! i was going to add that to my list at the top but i decided against it because its not really a podcast its more just clips from the version you have to buy (or at least the one that im listening too :) ), but your soooo right it is hilarious and i was listening it at work thankfully but at one point i was laughing so hard i was crying. have you heard "Karls diary" episode that one is my favorite and i swear that guys a comedic genius just by being himself!

i think we all knew that was coming!

i guess i collect japanese related iteams fans, umbrellas anything to do with geishas. i have a lot of souveniers from my trip and ive framed them or mounted them on my walls in my bedrooms. ive also cross stiched a few pieces that have geishas in them or japanese flowers and those are now hanging on my walls. my mom was a horrendous pack rat and garbage raider and i promised myself id never do that so ive gotten rid of things little by little and i guess my japanese stuff has been the only consistent thing. hey Ursula are there any good antique markets in toronto/surrounding areas? and would you ever want to show a newb(me) around?

im glad you like it!!! :) yes likewise it was really nice to meet you too! no no no, it wasnt boring at all, it was great, i really enjoy a laid back evening with beer and i dont dance unless im really wasted! hahaha i just hope i wasnt too socially awkward, it can be weird when you know stuff about a person before youve actually met them!

I'm going to check out the hip hop one and see if i like it. I usually can get into anything! I have a couple episodes of Doug loves movies, thanks for telling me about that one Ursula. What did you think about risk?

Hmmmm.... Kind of... I understand and love soccer but every other sport baffles me! If it doesn't interest me that's alright because you put it out there and maybe it interests someone else!

Welcome to LST!! I have to say I really enjoyed your introduction! I look forward to reading your input to the threads out there. What do you do in the food service industry exactly? I only ask because I'm a dessert chef and I'm also just very curious! :) see you around!

BAHAHAHAHA!!! is this for real? Biscuits you say!!

i hope its not too lame that im trying to get this thread up again. last attempt! anyway, breifly in another thread i got a suggestion for: Doug Loves Movies This American Life Doug loves movies is actually really funny and its great if your a movie nerd too! at the moment im listening to: Risk You had to be there The smartest man in the world -Greg proops Nerdist WTF with Mark moran Nutrition Divas

look into Steve Rawles new CD bonus room. its so awesome. i saw him live at a bar in Toronto a couple months ago. it was amazing, dare i say almost life changing! hahaha! :)

as soon as i turn on my internet browser the latest news pops up and this time it was the death of Amy winehouse. despite her rocky life it was still a shock to learn of this. it alway saddens me when i learn of someones death because i always think that they were loved by somebody.

i love that! i cant help it i just hafta say aaaaawwwww!

Welcome to LST!! have you had a chance to look around? whats your favorite thread so far?
