My sister is finally able to speak at length, so we chatted for a bit yesterday. She's got four titanium plates in her face and her nose has been completely reconstructed.
She's just taking Advil for pain. Tough girl.

"Pretty extreme way to get a free nose job."
"We both know who the cheapskate is here, and it isn't me."

 ;D

Good to hear her sense of humour is intact.  :)

She'd need one to live in Bathurst

 :iagree:

The North shore is getting hammered. Four Nor'Easters in four weeks? Something like that. Crazy amount of snow, apparently.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

I said I was sorry I couldn't be there.

Her: "Look, the last thing I needed was someone else walking in and crying when they saw my face."
Me: "I figured you'd be used to it by now."
Her: "F. U."

 ;D

Just because we're older doesn't mean we're any more mature.  ;D

She was in really good spirits, and really glad to be home. It was great hearing her like that again.

Frigging awesome!   :rofl2:  So glad she's doing well.

Kid got back from his Euro trip today...telling us about it on the way home...great trip.  One thing that stuck out was he and a friend wanted t split a pizza...it was let's just say 7 Euros.  Oh no no no!  It's 1.50 more if you share it!  What? Ok fine, whatever, so it's 8.50.  No, it's 1.50 EACH for the fecking "chef" to cut it in half and serve it so you can share it.  Fack me...  He said next time they'll just order a pizza, and split it at the table.  Smiling, knowing there will be no next time. 

They sure pack a lot into those 10 day adventures...no time to do any adventuring.

Think this happened to us in Quebec.  Wanted to split an entree with my wife, and get an appetizer.  Just asked for an extra plate.  Some charge for splitting it.  I was also pissed.

Yeah less than 2 weeks in multiple cities in Europe is busy.

Client wants his entire electrical system on one drawing. This is an unusual request.

The drawing is up to 3'x12' and is scaled at 3/4"=1'-0" and it just fits.

Hope he has a big clipboard.

All of our trucks have that here.  Need to be able to come in from the top with a crane or from the side with a fork lift.
How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...

Around here, none of the flat bed tow trucks have canopies like that, but it’s probably because there’s so little demand for it, the tow guys would never pay for it.

Not enough high priced cars around.

A NASCAR race sponsored by ‘My Bariatric Solutions’.  Is that playing to a stereotype?
