Canuk Greg from Ottawa, Canada

and Greg - shhhhhhhhhhhhh about Col's page!!

Hey Greg.....Thanks for stopping by. I love chocolates. I always say they are good for what ails you! Thank you! I don't think it has snowed yet at home. We had snow in October, but they have been getting a lot of rain. It was 85 here in SW Florida today. They are experiencing the warm winter also. It is usually in the 60s and 70s here in January. You wouldn't believe the people who wear sweaters in this heat..... I am a real northerner. It is too warm for winter clothes.

by the way, nice picture!

Greg - I see that Ed has posted his e-mail address above. You can take it from there. If you decide not to get in touch, I understand. I really do. I have Spam blockers on my earthlink acct. so they always put any mail from unknown addresses in a special message & I can decide if I will accept! Therefore I feel quite safe from receiving any unwanted e-mails. But I realize that not all servers provide that protection.

You are wise to consider whether or not you want to get involved in e-mailing since you already spend considerable time visiting other pages. I've ended up doing the opposite - spending lots of time e-mailing & not having enough time to visit pages. We all only have 24 hours a day to spend in the ways we choose. To each their own!

Heyello Cg
great photo and the before and after pic looks wongerful.
thanks for all the chasing around and shannanigans in the naughty room it keeps the site full of fun and frivolity.

Hi Greg! Thanks for the pastrys - we lurve chocolate around here! 'Fraid they won't last long!Take it easy - gotta go catch some z's b4 the sun (and kids) rises again! Night!

Hi Handsome, Thanks for the visit and the push. Today was my first weigh in and as I expected I didn't lose any appreciable amount. Since I hadn't started the food portion control and still enjoyed my rum cokes until Sunday, I just took control of revamping the exercise. Now I'm doing the whole thing so I'm looking forward to some results at the next weigh-in one week from today. Sully said he wanted something to hold onto, but I needed to hold the rolls(fat building up around my middle),and is happy that I have taken this step. I'd be thrilled if someone tried to chase me, but I know I have a good thing now...lol. You sure know how to make a gal feel good about herself. Thanks.

Hi Greg, sorry to leave like that but I could tell Judy didn't want me there, all I wanted to do was to say Hi, since you don't come in to the chatroom. Maybe some other time we can chat

I am walking much quicker CG you may have to get fitter to keep up!

Bonjour Greg ! Thank you for the double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry. I saw it on your Flickr photostream and ate all this funny and fine pastry :) Now ...diet !
Thank you for your nice comment about my little photos!
Merci also for your wishes. To you also a great new Year!
meet you on Flickr!

We'll finish our conversation another time, Greg. Hurt feelings is exactly WHY I never go in the chatroom either!

Hope you looked at the other photos and not just the one with Jonesy (I do not think it's a great photo of me - mouth open...). Jonesy's not my pet (unfortunately). My friend lives on a property south of Canberra, I think Jonesy was an orphan they hand raised, and yes, she just has the run of the place and ambles round much like a pet cat. She is so tame!

Was just checking out your photos on Flickr - absolutely awesome scenery!

Thurs 11 Jan: Hiya Greg - I've left Monty guarding the house for me while I'm away!!!!

Thanks for the good wishes Greg, and wishing you a fabulous year!! Santa in our pic is my 19 year old daughter Margie, who like you, does not have to join Rosemary et el!! On her left is her boyfriend, and on her right our cousin and her fiance. My hubby took the pic. We had an unexpectedly happy day, in spite of, for the first time, having 2 of the children missing. A sign of changing times!!

Hello Greg,

Yeah I have been having trouble leaving messages lately too!
Hope you are having a great 2007! Mine has been a bit bizarre to date, and the unexpected keeps on happening. So far, a wonderful two weeks away, got back to work on Monday, walked in the door, the usual feral director on leave, the standin director, lovely person in tears, handing me a letter from feral director on annual leave saying I am redundant, and giving me three months wages in lieu of notice. I am not complaining, as I had contemplated resigning prior to Christmas to the point of cleaning out my office in anticipation of telling her where to go. So it was pure luck I didn't.

Now doing job applications, sending them off, blah! Nothing worse! And wearing the interview suit....
Have a nice day!

A combination of things really Greg. Railways, better roads many rivers became shallow due to silting etc., and the cargoes changed. Rivers were dammed in order to give electricity and not all were fortunate enough to have lateral canals.
Barges do still work the larger rivers and canals carrying bulk low value cargoes such as grain, sand cement. They are wonderful boats called Péniches. You will see them lining the banks in Paris in older photos.
A great many of the network of canals in France are now used solely by the tourist trade - private and hired vessels.
Steve and I actually took a sailing boat through the french canals on our honeymoon UK-Paris- Canal de Bourgogne-La Sôane-la Rhone to the med around Corsica/Sardinia-coasted to Marseille back north, turned right and up the Doubs to Strasbourg then down the Rhine to Amsterdam.
5000 miles 512 locks we were a lot younger and fitter then!

Hi Greg: Yes we do have fun making our lables, almost as much fun as making the wine! We make our wine from the concentrate wine kits, which by the way, most of the wine kits are from Canada . This is not a busness venture by any means it is all for personal use, we get about 30 bottles per 5 gallon kit. We do use it for housewarming gifts, thank you gifts, etc. but we cannot sell it because we don't have a liquor license. We use it or give it away. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the labels. Kind of gives you a little insight into my warped sense of humor!

By the way we took 6 months. Not the normal 2 week honeymoon.
My motto - if you can survive together living on 9 metres of wooden boat for 6 months without killing each other you can survive most things

Who are the Gators?

Okay Greg, let me clarify, we still have bottles from our first batch in 2004, but we must get to drinking them because they are only good for about 3 years because we don't use any preservatives in our wine (so no wine hangover if we overindulge) And I prefer the term 'conisour' to 'wino'

Greg I know you were kidding! But why are you leaving, I am just waking up, time to party! If I can't party in real life, but there are no calories in cyberlife

Grab a glass and lets get drunk and talk smart!

Oh, Leaping Frau's Milk, Necter of the God's and other Low Lifes (that would be our friends ) is a Leibfraumilch Wine, it is a really nice smooth white.

Have I missed a party here? Greg? Linda? Dash!!
p.s. I think there maybe slightly more than one bathroom, wild guess!!

Greg yes, sorry I added you into friends catergory but then it asked for your email addy so I left it oops, still new to this flickr stuff!

Hey stud~ Well, I hope I'll post pic's of my own children soon.

Great pic! Love the scenery~ You are not what I expected....

Catch ya later!

Greg, I hope you enjoyed your day off work. You light up our lives daily.

Re old transport. Can't help looking at all the trucks that drive past our house. All those deisel fumes and pollution(the miniscule grains of tarmac or blacktop that break off and hang around till we breathe them in)
We have a railway line behind our village which no longer carries cargo only a few passenger trains a day. And there the otherside a beautiful river with no boats on it. Why? Because everyone wants instant gratification, everything has to be there yesterday. People crave for the things that aren't really within their reach. Children are no longer taught to occupy themselves, what happened to stamp collecting, knitting, crochet, playing with toy soldiers, doll houses,etc.
Alright I've climbed down off my soapbox, but I think all these things are connected. I agree about our grandchildren. What will we leave them?
I read this week about the US oil exploration in Alaska - another environmental catastrophe about to happen there I believe. OK I give uo and going to walk by the river.

hey there greg thanks for stopping by my place and glad you enjoyed jabberwocky. I think it's just amazing how all those new words still work together and paint a picture...
Your photo is great and I agree you don't need a diet but of course your abdomen is cropped off there so we still ask ourselves what gut there might be that lurketh?!

and greg bert is right. thank you for lighting up our lives. your contributions to the site are just great.

CG~ I expected Blonde hair for some reason, not dark brown, or dark. and~ just a different facial structure, though I don't know how to describe it. Either way, you're a handsome man. You should be thrilled to OWN that face!

Greg...too late to make plans for a year from now? C'mon, you can make the cruise..it's January 2008!!!

Hi Greg - Thanks for the visit. We don't have any plans this summer to go North. My husband retired this past June and we may go down to Virginia. We have property in the Blue Ridge Mountains and had thought it would be nice to retire down there. Their winters are more mild than ours in Michigan. Of course, there is the motorcycle. My husband likes to do the 'Lake Superior Loop.' Our youngest graduates from High School this year so hard telling what the future holds????? Have a great day!

Hi,
I am doing very well - busy writing my diary and preparing power point presentations about my trip to Morocco . This keeps me quite busy for the time being. Hope everything is fine for you too. I've just read about Beehive - I remember him very well, but guess I've missed what his health problem is .

You asked me about one of my photos on Flickr. If you go to this site you can see some more pictures of the site and some explanation. Solomon's Pillars are natural geological formations named after the biblical king.

Hi Greg, Thanks for visiting my page and checking out my flickr pics. Actually, Jim from Jupiter took the photo Waves / Atlantic (pretty good huh!) I have added a couple more pics to my flickr album one of which you will see on 'My Page'. Hope you do get to Oz one day in the near future.

Hey there Greg, sunday evening for me, I was rooting for the Seahawks, but such is life, now I am hoping the pats can pull it out. Thanks for thinking of the wine tasting, what fun! I fyou ever find yourself in SE Minnesota, please stop by!

Mon 15 Jan:
Thank you my friend. Perhaps this will help you get onto the next page.

Yes, Greg, the good ole chicken soup.
Hey, how did you know I had a cold, are you psychic, or something???
