Type A is people who have dedicated themselves to diplomacy, civil and foreign service.

Type B is people who have no qualifications, and are appointed for political reasons.

Type B usually throws better parties in that I never go home alone from that type of party. Type A throws parties where most people are sober and real discussions can be had.

Best place to party right now in Ottawa is at Bruce and Vicki's place, although their taste in art is way too PC. Kennedy's legacy will be that the Art in Embassies program has unwritten rules saying that every exhibition must contain the works of a half-black, half-native homosexual permanently in a wheelchair. I'm glad they shot the bastard, for that reason.

Your entertainees must really trust / like you....that would kill most functions I am aware of :lol: More effective, however, than taking keys to assure no one drives hammered....no one would leave without thier lifeline....lol.

That is, however, one of the reasons I love camping in the boonies....absolutely NO cell service for 40+ miles :twisted:

Also my email / etc is avail tere so if I am away from the shop, I am LOST without my phone. If I run to the store and forget it, I seriously have withdrawl anxiety.....stupid but true.....DO NOT want to miss orders / calls from customers / or from my kids if they need me.....could give a squirt of piss about anything else :lol:

What pisses me off are those that just CANNOT put the fooking thing down for texting / facebag / that bullshit, even when driving or having a conversation....I've knocked phones out of peoples hands several times....sure gets a response :lol:
I threw mine out the window driving down route 3A once for the reason that customers kept calling me and driving me bananas! I DON'T WANT TO WORK FOR YOU, stop calling me! And now your bid just went up astronomically! They accepted it anyway... of course. can't even bid myself out of a job....

Then i got married and had kids. Now I have a phone again...... dang. But as long as the family is happy I could do without easily.

I have a cheap Sony Ericsson smart phone, and honestly, I don't really care whether I have it with me when I leave my house or not. I hate to part with my ipod, though. I don't check it constantly, but I use it to browse the web, listen to music, and play games. I don't leave home without it. =)
