Will you answer 'No' to this survey?

maybe...

Maybe

*head explodes*

Unlikely; I'm too wishy-washy...

I haven't been around for a while... So, was it a girl or a boy?

i refuse to answer "no", so yes i will answer "no", but i'm not answering "no"..i'm not answering "yes" either, mind you

Everything I say is a lie.

This statement is false.

It's a girl: Laura Majken. She was born on May 8.

There are some pics on http://surf.to/lauravos
We have to update it pretty soon though.

*nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh*

Perhaps?

i didn't answer

I won't answer yes or no, either way I'd be lying.

Yes

ARSEHOLE!

I don't know.

I like this survey question Very very excellent

No

Sure, but I should warn you that everything I say in this survey is a lie.

nope

What a weird question.

No. Statistically, people will choose the first answer more often - just because of the order it was presented in.

Probably not

He gave me the eye
But I just passed him by
I treated him unkind
But he didn't seem to mind

I told him be on his way
But not a word did he say
He just stood there kind of bold
While I acted cold

But when the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize I should apologize
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, Oh then I knew
That he won my heart

So I quickly apologized
Hoping he hadn't changed his mind
But not a word did he say
So I turned to walk away

But when the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize how he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, Oh then I knew
That he won my heart

When he asked could he walk my way
I hoped sweet things he'd say
Instead he smiled kind of nice
As he held my hand kind of tight

But when the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize how he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face
Then I knew, Oh then I knew
That he won my heart

But when the lovelight starts shining through his eyes
Made me realize how he felt inside
And when he placed a kiss upon my face

She is beautiful!!! How do you pronounce her middle name, "Majken"? I am thinking "Mah-kin", is that off? Congrats on such a pretty little daughter!

I saw the baby. I think the of her!

Yes, something like that. It's Swedish by the way.

this is really nice, thank you for this...did you write?? or if not, who then?
thank you

Well, well, well... Need I say? She is ADORABLE!! Congratulations!!

Yes, you will have to update the pictures (they change so fast at that age!) I bet that she's already blond now that the sun's out and she's out!!

I'm happy for the both of you - take care as this particular time with her, really is very short! You'll see what I mean... Have fun!!

I love ya! You ol' "stick-in-the-mud"!

How ya been???

I have not made Aussie burgers yet but this season I will!! Promise! I still have the recipe!

Send me an e-mail at Chateau Shack with an address I can reply to. The last ones died...
I have a couple of photos for you.

Where have you been? my email is now kaleb777*at*beerlover.com.au

I've been going nuts with the maple syrup on New Zealand hokeypokey ice cream (vanilla-malt with chunks of honeycomb) I'm going back into the garden soon to burn off yesterday's binge! I need to get out and take some pics for you. It's winter here (but everything looks the same).

I don't know!

I can say with all honesty that it was "me"

love it!!

I'll write you later (e-mail); I have to go to work now!

...hmmm, hokeypokey??

Bit close to hanky panky huh?

I like your answer best so far. Pretty smart way to answer the question truthfully and side-stepping the trap. ****

thanks

What I don't understand is that honkey is what blacks call whites, right? I was nearly stabbed to death with a slur similiar to this once. So is the honkeypokey, a white mans sexual term?

sure

According to Merriam-Webster;
hokeypokey is ice cream sold by street vendor...

We just call it ice cream; we don't like to get beaten up!

Well, I didn't write yet - I'm on vacation (YEAH!! ) and am just passing through. We're going back to Chateau Shack today and we just dropped by to see that all is well...
It is... So see ya later!

Where's Chateau Shack? You told me to write there and I'm sorry I don't recal you talking about CS.

Oh, HOKEY, not HONKEY....my mistake, sorry

Chateau Shack is the name of our country place! It's a shack in the woods but my brother feels that he eats there better than at home so he named the place as such!! I used the name for my new e-mail because Irene007 (a name my son picked and I still use here) was already taken... Is there an Irene006-005-004? I feel that the planet is getting smaller every day! It must be... My friends used to be around the block, now they're around the planet; just like YOU!

Quite forgiven Richard47 (are there 46 ahead of you here at SC or at your e-mail provider?? Where are you from anyway?)

Richardson Terrace, Richmond, Virginia...and I work with the magazine "Rags to Riches", and I have dozens of cousins with the last name of "Richards"...living close. You can see it gets extremely confusing around here.

Are you having a heatwave like Europe? Is Chateau Shack in the mountains?

I sure don't have that problem. My family name is odd ; it's Belgian and I'm only the 3rd generation here in Canada. So when ever I see that name in North America; I know it's a relative of mine!

At the time that I'm writing this, it is hot but I wouldn't call it a heatwave. However, my sister who lives in Vancouver (the other end of the country) was complaining that they were in the heat of things!

Chateau Shack is in the Lanaudière region of Quebec. I found a site with a map (you have to know the area to be able to click on the right parts of the map because it's terribly small! So I won't bother you with it.) and it clearly shows Mandeville (used to be called St-Charles-de-Mandeville) way up to the North with nothing else further up. It's situated just at the beginning of the Laurentian Mountains. It's still, as of yet, undiscovered by the majority of city folks in Montreal. Directly North of Montreal is Mont-Tremblant; I remember that area when I was a teenager and I can't believe the development there! So much tourism - it makes me sick. Of course it brought much money to the area but there's hardly any real wild areas left. I like it wild, I thought that Mandeville was pretty wild but just a couple of weeks ago, some idiot had a Rave party a few miles from our land. We could hear the music all weekend! The locals were not too happy about it so I think the municipality has changed certain laws about mass gatherings! It's just a question of time before the city folks discover this place, it's only one hour's drive from the East end of Montreal.

Well, I'll enjoy it while it's quiet and make money selling it in a decade from now when it'll become THE place for tourism and I assure you; it's well on it's way!

Can't you also tell by the slightly crossed eyes and turned up nose (I heard that you once said most of your relatives had) when seeing a familiar face?

There's a population boom in the capital cities here that is forcing young home buyers to buy houses 2 hours in the country which is fast becoming new suburbs and more sprawl. I'm gonna need a plane soon to get away from it all. I have a map of Canada that shows none of the places you mentioned. It goes as far north an Mistassini.

Lanaudière is a region and may not be mentioned on some maps. Try to find a provincial park (or reserve) called Mastigouche, Saint-Gabriel-de-Brandon is the biggest town near Mandeville which is so small; I'm not surprised that you can't find it on the map! As I said; Mandeville used to be called St-Charles-de-Mandeville, in Quebec, there's a movement for change of many town names - there's too many saints!
St-Adolphe-d'Howard
St-Emilie-de-l'Energie
St-Sulpice
St-Roch-de-l'Achigan
St-Ours! Gimme a break; "ours" is French for bear - who the hell canonized a bear??
You can tell that the clergy was quite busy here!!

Nope! It's the boobs on the girls (or lack of - which is not my case as I inherited mine from my Mom's buxom Irish side!) and the down-to-earth personality of the Belgians!

Papke, mee zijn drij kameraote. Drei kilo petoaters en nen halve kilo schelpeerwete . In-de-nondepeir-endefis-endesentespriet en susmatil!, Irene007!! (You may have to ask great-grandma to translate. Maarten "could" help but don't bet on it!)

'Saint' names are OK but the French seem to add where the saint was from as well. It's too long.

Although our name is of Welsh decent, (someone jumped the river at some point!) our background is Walloon (French) so I have no clue of what you wrote!! Our French background probably helped them settle in Quebec.

Sorry, Irene... This may be more helpful. It is very interesting. Tell we what you think!!

En 1991, lors de la régionalisation du transport public sur route, le tout jeune TEC Brabant Wallon élit d'abord domicile dans un bâtiment situé rue de la Science, à Bruxelles, pour ensuite accompagner la S.R.W.T à la rue de la Loi toute proche.
Quelques mois plus tard, dans un souci de service et de proximité, le TEC s'implante en Brabant Wallon, dans le Parc Scientifique de Louvain-la-Neuve. Le bâtiment loué qui, d'évidence, n'est pas très adapté aux différents services de la société et à l'accessibilité de la clientèle, incite la Direction du TEC à trouver un emplacement et des locaux plus adéquats.
Ainsi, en 1994, le Conseil d'Administration décide la construction d'un nouveau bâtiment à proximité de la gare de Wavre, chef-lieu de la province du Brabant Wallon.
Les travaux débutent en mai 1996 pour se terminer au début de l'année 1998.
Aujourd'hui, cette nouvelle MAISON DU TEC symbolise la confirmation de l'identité de la société et de son dynamisme.

Franchement, je n'y connais rien! Je suis canadienne et tu dois me parler des Iroquois, des Hurons, des Irlandais et des français. Je ne connais que leur histoire, même si je suis "américanisée" au point de mieux connaître l'histoire américaine que celle du Canada!

Tout ce que je sais est que mes ancêtres sont venus pour se joindre à la colonie de belge qui existait à Namur (Namur en Belgique, alors aussi au Canada!), Québec. Ils ne se sont pas rendus, alors Montébello a fait place pour mes ancêtres.

Voilà! J'y suis et c'est tout!!

Bien, là-bas c'est. Vous êtes très confondu de votre passé et ez est constamment reflète dans les beaucoup de commentaires que vous pourvoyez à nous, ici, dans l'Etude Centrale. Vous devez prendre votre temps en complétant les pensées et les phrases écrites si nous pouvons vous comprendre. Je toujours reçois des notes de Enduanna et Pomerian de ceci. Vous devez clarifier des choses avec eux.

What the dilliyo? I will re-write to you (literally) what you wrote to me;

"Well, over there it's. You are very confounded about your past and (ez?) are constantly reflect in the many commentaries that you provide to us, here, in the Central Study (I think this must mean; Survey Central?). You should take your time by completing the thoughts and the sentences written if we could understand. I always receive some notes from Enduanna (Enheduanna?) and Pomerian (Pomeranian?) of this. You should clear things up with them."

You've obviously been using something like Babble Fish Translator, this is what they gave as a translation of what you wrote (it's as confusing as mine!!);

"Well, over there it east. You are very confused of your past and ez is constantly reflects in much comments which you provide for us, here, in the Central Study. You must take your time by supplementing the written thoughts and sentences if we can include/understand you. I always receive notes of Enduanna and Pomerian of this. You must clarify things with them.

Sorry if I assumed that your French was better than I thought; I did not realize this since you wrote to me in French in the first place!

All I said was;
"Honestly, I don't know much of what you wrote (in French - now that I realize that you copied it from some Belgian web site!) I am Canadian and you must speak to me of Iroquois, Huron, Irish and the French. I know but their history, even if I am Americanized to the point of being more aware of their history than mine!

All I know is that my ancestors came to join a Belgian colony in Namur, Quebec (Like Namur in Belgium) but they didn't make it so Montebello (QC) became the residence for my ancestors.

So there! That's why I'm here!!"

I don't know why you say that I'm so confused about my past; I know so much more about it than most of my neighbours know about their own. I've had dealings with Americans called "Morin, Boucher, Gagnon" and they pronounce their name in English (More-in, Bowcher, Gag-non) and were quite surprised to discover that their names were of French origine. I know this as these names are all around me! Many New-Englanders have French origins. Not surprising, if you check out the history of that area.

Hey! Did you know that Montreal was American for all of four days??


By the way; I don't remember you from my past here at SC so why do you "imply" that I "constantly" write my thoughts and sentences without any regard to the SC users??
And what do Enheduanna and Pomeranina have to do with this, what must I clear up with them??

Vous devez croire que je quand je dis je n'a voulu dire aucun mal. J'essaye seulement svp à vous la meilleure manière que je sais.
J'ai toujours été fanatique de vous et de la manière de parler tellement tendrement à d'autres. Vous êtes une récompense vraie à votre pays.
mais avant a un utilisateur de Sc a évoqué tant d'émotion dans le peuple. J'avais tort dans l'essai de critiquer votre héritage. Vous devez pardonner mes erreurs, toutes que je pardonnerai vos erreurs.
Le monde est plein des personnes folles. Est-ce que ce n'est pas vrai? Vous pouvez me parler au sujet de n'importe quelle matière. Veuillez demander Enduanna et Pomerian pour vous pardonner, aussi.


**Je n'emploie pas un service de traduction. J'essaye de me rappeler mes leçons de Français d'université. C'a été un long temps!

Je n'sais pas de quoi tu parles mais maudit que c'est cute! Je te pardonne au boutte!!

(don't try to translate this with Babble Fish or try to remember your French lessons - It's Quebecois so I'll do it for you;

"I don't know what you're talking about but damn, it's cute! (notice the same word - cute?) I truly forgive you!! (literal translation; "I forgive you to the end!!" Bout = End, the "t" is normally silent but "vulgar" Quebecois French pronounce it - go figure!) ....more bridges to cross....

No I'm going to answer yes!
