YES! I wouldn't have responded just to say that but it seems I've got the same problem CJ and Graeme have

wooo hoooo!!! Congrats to GA and congrats to Kurt!!!!!

You're the awesomest, Vancey!! -Kevin

Well I had fun watching their vids! Thanks for the suggestion, Jamie! I liked their stuff on the radio but hadn't really saught it out before. I totally loved that "movie" video for "I'm not okay" on their page! Maybe I'm just trippin' but what's that video where they're all in a hotel with their alter egos? (that's them right?) Have a fun-filled day everyone! Kevin

Dude, it's pretty!!! I really like it and all the better if it's in blue (my favourite colour )!! I hope you have many happy times driving it, but be safe -Kevin

So THAT's where you got your new avatar picture, Robbie!! (I'm totally digging it btw) But no, I don't think I uttered that phrase in the past few days. The person below me has something unusual in their fridge

I love it, Jack!!! That was so funny thanks! Happy Halloween, you guys! Kevin

I'm extremely sorry to hear about John Tucker's passing. I know he will indeed be sorely missed. I wish his family, friends, and fans the best in their time of mourning. Take care, Kevin

aww Tom, I'm so sorry I hope you feel better soon. Take care and all the best, Kevin

That's not so bad though, CJ, I used to always mix up the order when I was a kid and first started using it. You could try thinking about it this way you want to LEAVE your hair in good CONDITION so use the conditioner last. When I was in my teens I used to help out on the family farm as a result I too have bought work boots at a feed store before. They do hold up! aww I'm so sorry, Michael. That must have been really scary, did they get all of it? Which type was it? take care YES! Definiely everyone use sunscreen! It's very important! Remember that some UV damage can STILL occur on a winter day or a general overcast day. You won't get a sunburn but your skin can still be damaged, so use sunscreen anytime you're going to be outdoors for long periods of time! Have an awesome day all! Kevin

awww thanks you guys!! And thanks to both of YOU for all the comments that you guys made as well! Thanks to CJ, Rob, and all the admin and team members! and ESPECIALLY to ALL the wonderful members here at GA! It's a really great community and that's due to the combined effors and interaction of everyone! Have a fantastic day everyone! Take care, Kevin

LOL, nothing worse than a murderous muse with a head cold! I can't wait to read the continuation of "No Shirt? No Problem!" Awesome job, CJ!! Kevin

Nopers, I went to a Halloween party on Saturday night, but I went in PJ's, a robe, and some smiley face slippers. It was a costume/underwear party, lol, but I waitd too long to get a costume and it was much to cold that night to go in ONLY my underwear The person below me can't decide what they're going to dress up as

I agree all around; great job, Nick! -Kevin

Great points, Michael! Without wanting to take away anything from the ACTUAL relationship between Jim and Nick, my take on it is sort of like this: When they're together all the time it's easier for Jim to take things for granted, and to get irritated about some things. This is perfectly normal human behaviour. When they're apart it's natural for them to miss each other, and focus more on the good. This is pretty normal behaviour too! I think each part can kind of be summed up by the two expressions "familiarity breeds contempt" and "absence makes the heart grow fonder". Of course that's really just trying to shove everything into tidy little boxes by using cliche's, and it doesn't begin to grasp the complexity of true human relationships, particularly that of Jim and Nick. So certainly there's more complicated stuff at play here too. I just think that might be part of it. Anyway have a great day you guys! Kevin

Good points, Michael. I think much of that just shows how human Jim is. Everyone has pet-peeves and things that set them off, yet often they regret snapping at people. I think also that as you pointed out Nick must have found it difficult to tiptoe around not knowing what mood or reaction he would be faced with; however, at the same time I think that's a fairly normal part of being a child that age. What I mean is at that age it's difficult to always KNOW what will tick off a parent or teacher. It's hard to know whether your actions will make them mad, leave them indifferent, or even elicit positve attention. I remember being a child about that age and stopping up the toilet with a huge ball of toilet paper. Upon reflection at this stage in my life it's obvious why that didn't go over so well; however, at the time I was just "creating stuff" (the ball of toilet paper which I painstankingly took the time to "pack" and make as tight and firm as I could) and previous attempts at creativity and craftmanship had been met with approval. Anyway I guess what my point is is that at an older age it's easier to reason out "I don't want to 'catch' this adult doing something 'bad' because they'll be embarrassed and get angry and defensive" or "I just know that this person hates it when I do X (answer his cell phone for example)", but as a young kid you don't always reason that stuff out and as a result anger often seems more arbitrary. I do agree with you though that this particular behaviour was inappropriate and I think you're right that he may have been seeking a better environment in VA. Have a great day all! Kevin
