  1. Yes, there was massive flooding. It was do to a nasty weather system stuck over Alberta and pulling all the moisture out of the States and Manitoba and Saskatchewan and when it hit the Rockies, it all came down. Add on the snow pack that usually melts over the next month slowly, it came down with all the rain and the rivers just couldn't contain it all. I took a drive today and although the river is receding back to its banks, there is still lots of communities under standing water (nasty stuff). I don't think the moon necessarily affects the jet stream, so it is innocent in my eyes Now if we stop hearing this is what we get for having pipelines and the Oil Sands and realize this happens every 100 years or so, all will be good
  2. Belated.... :music: Happy Birthday Vivian :music: I know I did this at midnight my time already, but never could there be enough Birthday wishes and kisses for an amazing lady
  3. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  4. So read another article in the newspaper, but this one has most the same information: Exodus admits they were wrong Personally I'm glad there is one less organization that people can turn to and say that they were 'curing' homosexuality. A couple of pretty amazing statements from the article: Another quote I saw in the local newspaper but not in the article was that Chambers admitted that they were practicing their beliefs in contrary to what the bible teaches and expects.
  5. We're 2-2 after 4. Any revised bets on who will win and in how many? I will go with Chicago in Seven
  6. Back to unanswered questions................. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we last heard of the Australian characters in a silence mode in Rhys lagoon. Did they get out and everyone is carrying on their business? I know Trevor called his Uncle Greg to ask about the guns in Mexico but I don't remember much more. Furthermore, CJ, you still need to reveal that Grundig was a lackey for the Cartel . I hope that Bluey and Bonzer make it home safe?
  7. Not necessarily skinny, just expected the boat to be stuck up in the trees
  8. It has taken me a while to get around to posting a final comment. Not only did the chapter take two days to read, but I really can't sum up what this story has meant to me over the past 3 years. The knowledge that it is complete is somewhat relieving, but on the other hand disappointing. Mixed feelings all around. Special thanks go out to CJ and all his team for this tremendous work. Like others, I too would like to see what a publisher would say about putting it in print. I think CJ would be surprised . One last thing, and I'll be back did anyone else picture the picture below when we first heard of Trevor's plans
  9. I've never been part of CJ's Team, something about not wanting a no good for nothing Canadian working for him or something like that . What I can tell you is that we met early on when he was posting For The Love in the old eFic section for non Hosted and we interacted on his topic and through PM's. CJ would occasionally ask me to look at something or possibly how feasible something might be within a chapter. I would help out where I could. Truth be told, I really didn't think I could measure up to be a beta for him. At the time I was in awe of Graeme, Bondwriter, Captain Rick and Emoe. First of all to be able to tolerate CJ, but more importantly help him turn out such amazing stories . Occasionally authors will post for an editor or beta reader and then it is matter of finding a comfortable fit I do believe. GA does offer a Editor and Beta Reader match up where we try to not only help Authors, but develop and improve Editors. Jan and Cia, as head of the WST heads up that team and they have a dedicated forum here. Myself, over the years I have been asked to beta and then on occasion edit a chapter or then a story. Call me crazy but I have been helping out Krista for a couple of years. Another problem too is that like Authors on the internet come and go, unfortunately betas and editors come and go as well. I think this is really how I started helping Krista and not really for my skills . Besides, the good fights we have over a chapter keeps us both entertained . Still, I'm still amazed at the work that first CJ puts forth but always know that there is a team of dedicated people behind him that make his writing so damn good! This is also why I will tease and bug CJ, but I will never be hard on him or his team. I'm grateful for every word that makes it to my computer screen.
  10. Soooo, by my silly little countdown timer in my signature, I think I started it around 176 days. Since we are so close to the 100 day mark, would any of you mind waiting another six days if it is ready today? *runs and hides so the lynch mob can't find me*
  11. So................ against Oops, am I showing my bias Kudos to the Kings for making it a damn good game 5.
  12. Okay, here is from the freaky file Here is a picture of my car after they removed me from it in an accident 3 years ago.... A couple of months ago I was looking at it and I saw this freaky image in it: This is just to the right of where the steering column was. Helps to look at it from the right or left, not as clear straight on. Freaky, eh
  13. Where is the unlike button on BlueSox's post
  14. Occasionally CJ slips a bit. I take this to mean that they will survive and arrive on the Yucatan Peninsula. Now we just have to wait to find out how
  15. I'm a wee bit worried about Pittsburgh getting swept Boston is up 2 games to nothing and both were played in the Penguin's arena. Something is just not right Yeah, I would like to see Boston win, but I would like to see Pittsburgh just a little bit more.

  17. MikeL, on 01 Jun 2013 - 04:31 AM, said: Mike . How can you say just a wall? Any wall, even the great wall of China doesn't reach the atmosphere. At the top of any wall could be what we all know as a cliff. Before CJ makes a claim that there is no aardvarks because they do have something to do with cliffs, I wouldn't be surprised if his spoiler was a bit of deflection of some sort. I'm guessing that instead of the storm raining down pink fluffy bunnies, it will be raining down aardvarks on to our four occupants of Atlantis One final thought, if this all happened in 2009 and we are making the assumption that Trevor and Shane survive, they were writing a book about the whole adventure so maybe we don't need to wait for CJ to finish his story, Trevor and Shane's book must be out there somewhere *Off to Google to get the book first*
  18. Is it possible that CJ has fallen off a cliff and is in the hospital recovering
  19. I think up here we learn how to spell all the NHL City names before we learn the provinces and their capitals
  20. Just thought I would ask.............. Does anyone take my signature of a countdown timer as serious? Since I'm not part of CJ's Team and have no more knowledge than the majority of you of when the next chapter will publish, I hope I am not misleading or disappointing anyone. Just my way to quietly bug CJ
  21. So wrestling is not dead..yet. The IOC put forward 3 sports to be considered for the 2020 Games. Wrestling, Baseball/Softball and Squash were the 3 of the 8 sports to go to the final vote which should be held in September. Only one will be voted to appear in the 2020 Games. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/story/2013/05/29/sp-ioc-meetings-russia-sochi-2020-olympics-wrestling-sports.html
  22. Well another round down, nothing like a come from behind (down 3 games to 1) victory for the Chicago Blackhawks in OT So since we are down to four, and I can't figure out how to update the summary , any one off picks for the just the Stanley Cup Champs? One last thought, take a look at the Conference finalists: Pittsburgh Penguins - Stanley Cup Champs 2009 Chicago Blackhawks - Stanley Cup Champs 2010 Boston Bruins - Stanley Cup Champs 2011 Los Angeles Kings - Stanley Cup Champs 2012
  23. :music: Happy Birthday Patrick :music: Hopefully it was a great Birthday. Sorry about my tardiness
  24. Hope you know that there is many of us behind you as you get better and move forward
