Confoosed.

So, taxlady and I were kinda looking forward to having some folks over this weekend and/or today. It didn't happen, and I now find I don't know anyone's state. When does azrhey have to go back to work? Is anyone else available for visits, or should we just try again in a few weeks???

birthday weekend

[kalkuly.livejournal.com]

I was speaking to miseri since his bd is wed and mine is thurs - he was talking about dimsum on sunday to celebrate his in one of his comments and i asked if we could celebrate together - how does that fit you guys - not sure when and where miseri had in mind besides having mentioned sunday - will have to contact him again
in any case, what do you guys think?

Well, had I any money, taxlady and I would love to attend. As is, I think we're too broke. Its the main reason we've been having social things at our house lately. Cooking for a gang is much cheaper than either of us eating out. Its a shame too, because I've always wanted to try dim sum, and never have. Maybe some other time?

of course we would want to include you - the dim sum could be put aside for later - frankly it's a bit of a problem for me too as far as expenses go - need to get back to chris to find out what he wants. Maybe you could contact him too.

??? I'm afraid I can't parse the above. Does this mean that you're thinking of NOT going for Dim Sum, or that you will do it some other time, or what? I'm feeling awfully stupid right now...

sorry, basically trying to fit things in - don't know what chris wants so not sure if dim sum can be called off but still would like to include you guys so a potluck party seems to be more appropriate - sent chris an email to this effect - will see where it goes. Keep you posted of course.
but i do hope we can have some sort of house party in any case at some time in the near future - waiting for more input from the other bd people.

Oh, okay. I get it now. Let me know what comes up. It would be fun to get together again.

A party could be done at our house. It's big enough. Of course it is out in the boonies, but I could pick people up in Point-Claire, Dorval, or at the Roxboro train station. That would make the trip much quicker. We also have sleeping accomodations for a few people, so going home the next day is a possibility.

swestrup said, "As is, I think we're too broke. Its the main reason we've been having social things at our house lately." Well, it's not the only reason. Another good reason is to force us to keep the place clean ;)

This is so weird I'm not sure I believe it, but I saw a poster at the Metro station that said you can now only ride the commuter train with a monthly pass. No more tickets being sold.

I mean, that's bizarre, but I don't think my French is so bad that I failed to understand a twelve-word sentence....

[taxlady.livejournal.com]

Yikes. I'll have to phone and ask a person tomorrow. That would be terrible. What are they trying to do? Prove that we don't need commuter trains?

[sps.livejournal.com]

I had a look at the website, and it appears that it was just a terribly worded poster. Apparently the deal is that they've de-integrated their fare structures from the STM; it's the supplemental tickets that have gone away. So the poster that says 'from jan 1 only TRAIN passes will be accepted' was *intended* to be read as 'CAM passes will be rejected'. It's those bloody green-circle traffic signs all over again!

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for checking. It's not as bad, but it still bums me out.
