But if you're looking for something positive, alison, there's always beer news. (Don't worry, this segue actually makes sense.)

alison, I think you do tell them, if they could foreseeably need you later, though they may not need to know how much you resisted "the idea of them" (?). It may be awkward now, but it could be much more so if they were to come looking to you for that kind of support later.
On another topic, does anyone know what the province's "Capital Account" is about? I was curious what happens to budget surplusses now that the debt is gone, and, according to their budget highlights (pdf),
"Surpluses are no longer required to be set aside for debt repayment. Over the next three years, $5.5 billion from year-end surpluses, and non-renewable resource revenue above the $4.75 billion budget limit, will be reallocated to:I know they have the Heritage Fund, and a Sustainability fund, but what the heck is the Capital Account for?
· Capital Account $4.1 billion,
· Heritage Fund $667 million for inflation-proofing,
· Heritage Fund $250 million for the initial allocation to the new advanced education endowment, and
· Medical Research Endowment Fund $500 million."

Alison - I'd only tell them if it was important now that they know, like if they were relying on your further support. Otherwise I'd just let them be delusional. Not outright lying or anything, just letting it be.

how do you tell someone who thinks you've supported them all the way that you actually didn't, and that there may have been a bit more resistance on your part to the idea of them than they ever would've thought possible?
or do you?

God damn I'm tired. At least I don't have to do this again for a whole week. Nighty-night.

"in the days of movable type, a cliche was a word or phrase that printers would leave whole, or "clenched" together (the meaning of the French word cliche) because they knew that such words or phrases would be used frequently"
Who knew?

Now for Pam:
Canon Powershot A70

Ebay Prices
Like I said, it's really great, it can do a lot, it even has the ability to add addition lenses like telephoto, which I've found is not a typical feature on many digital cameras. Anyhoo, if you want to talk to me about it, you can find me here, by email (above) or by cell (235-8625).

Hey Jessie,
Here is some information about that mp3 player. Sorry, like I said it's from Singapore, so there's not much english information on the net. However all of the software and documentation with it are in english, the problem seems restricted to the internet.
Yepp 780 V
Let me know what you think, either by email above, on my cell at 235-8625 or on this site.
