TechnoHarlot

Was looking for a shorter, "classier" way to say "Technology *****" on a forum years ago, and came up with TechnoHarlot. Use it on a ton of places on the web, and don't even mind that lots of people think it has something to do with techno music. Which I'll admit I do also like, although not nearly as much as technology.

Also a member of the "screw how long my contacts say I should wear them club.". I buy the one month contacts, and probably wear them anywhere from 3-6 months depending on how they feel. Also a napkin grabber. Always useful to have in the car.

Happy Half Century! Hope it is a great one!

2 x possible. Fingers crossed! (and toes...and legs...and anything else that would add to the luck. lol.)

Dearest creature in creation, Study English pronunciation. I will teach you in my verse Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse. I will keep you, Suzy, busy, Make your head with heat grow dizzy. Tear in eye, your dress will tear. So shall I! Oh hear my prayer. Pray, console your loving poet, Make my coat look new, dear, sew it! Just compare heart, beard, and heard, Dies and diet, lord and word, Sword and sward, retain and Britain. (Mind the latter, how it's written.) Now I surely will not plague you With such words as plaque and ague. But be careful how you speak: Say break and steak, but bleak and streak; Cloven, oven, how and low, Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe. https://www.cs.cmu.e...r/TheChaos.html Loved to pull this one out when I taught in China. *muhahahaha*

Planning on eventually taking a trip to Cuba (who isn't? lol), and wanted to check out the tobacco rules. So, being a good Canadian, I run to the cbsa site, and read this: In addition, Excise Act, 2001 limits the amount of tobacco products that may be imported (or possessed) by an individual for personal use if the tobacco product is not packaged and stamped "CANADA DUTY PAID • DROIT ACQUITTÉ." The limit is currently five units of tobacco products. One unit of tobacco products consists of one of the following: 200 cigarettes; 50 cigars; 200 grams (7 ounces) of manufactured tobacco; or 200 tobacco sticks. I was under the impression that I could only bring back 50 cigars total, but based on reading this it seems more like 250 cigars! Since apparently 50 cigars is one unit of tobacco, and I am allowed 5. So, am I reading this right, or are border services just messing with me, and going to confiscate 4/5ths if I did bring 250 back? Any other Canadians have experience bringing back a ton of cigars? Just curious what your experience was/how many you brought back? Because if I am allowed 250 cigars, and there are two of us travelling, that is 500 cigars, and I'm going to need to start adding more twonies to the travel fund. (Basing this all on quantity not price, since there is a price limit as well.)

Blood pudding with a cheese and charcuterie plate, followed by a lovely medium rare T-bone with a red wine/cheese sauce, maybe a bit of Kobe beef on the side of it, and panacotta for dessert, and maybe an ice cream float. And copious amounts of white Russians. Followed by a Behike, with a side of dolphin, because what the heck, it's my last meal. * ...maybe start with the dolphin actually... don't know if they're awesome or horrible meat, and the last should be awesome. *meal subject to change depending on time of day, and circumstances. Cigar, well, Behikes have always been kind to me as of yet.

Awesome shots! And Bob (god, I hope I'm remembering his name right! lol) definitely wins the portrait wars! I loved them so much, I had to run out on Saturday to the photo place as soon as we got them. I now have 9 of my favourites on the wall (and my mother says we look like bank robbers in one, which is pretty awesome.), and thanks to you I finally have an avatar! Thank you so much for donating your time and ability. It was a great (and fun!) experience.

Happy Birthday Chris! Hope it continues to be a great one, and it was good to meet you yesterday!

Well, I dye my hair, but I'm a "lady". Not so much to cover grey, but because I was unlucky enough to not be born with blue hair. Right now it is purple, blue, and magenta, but the magenta will be kissing is arse goodbye tonight to make more of a purple/blue ombre type thing. So my two cents is that you should totally manic panic the hell out of it. (It washes out.........eventually. ) The "other half" doesn't dye his hair, although being the good husband he is, he did let me tip it blonde once! I don't think he'd let me do it again though, since I seem to prefer the "unnatural" realm of hair colours now.

lol. No worries about remembering names. You can pick me out by my current blue, purple, and magenta hair! The husband is not on the forums as of yet, but I may have to prod him into joining, since everyone here is so damn awesome! Really looking forward to the MegaHerf. So is my family, since they think I'll stop talking about it after it happens. I pointed out the only thing that will change is the tense.

Thanks all for the welcomes. I'll see what I can do Shlomo. It's usually not until the end of something that I'm like "Damn, probably should've written something down or taken at least one picture for future reference." Should be interesting, as the wood is mostly "scrap" as the person I got it from was a builder as well, so at this point I'm thinking I will have to cut everything into small squares and tetris the heck out of it. I will be either very proud, or crying like a baby by the end (or the middle depending on how it goes lol.) is my prediction.

Just wanted to say a quick hello! Relatively new to the world of cigar smoking, although the husband has been smoking for longer than I have. So far just enjoying trying out different kinds of cigars, and finding out my own flavour preferences, and looking forward to getting into the finickiness of trying to make my own humidor out of some black walnut I just inherited, and of course Spanish cedar interior. Going to be going to the megaherf this August, so looking forward to meeting some new people in person, and partaking in delicious food and cigars with like-minded people! So hello to all, nice to "meet" you, and looking forward to meeting more of you in the future! TechnoHarlot (Megs.)
