Terri Runnels Comments on Hunter
2008-04-21 19:37:00 "I will defend Triple H in a heartbeat because I remember way back when, I don't remember what year it was, but this was way back in WCW when Paul was at a party that Diamond Dallas Page and Kimberly threw, this was a Christmas party. And he had just gotten in the business, and I remember, everyone was saying "Here's this new kid" and he had just come in the business and, I remember watching him, and what I respected about him was, he was such a student of the business. You could tell he wanted to soak up and learn absolutely everything he could. And so for that, you cannot, there's no way, if you really know who Paul Levesque is, and what he's done, the way he has ate, slept, and breathed this business, long before Stephanie, there's no way you can say he needed Stephanie to do anything. He didn't. And I think it's a great disservice to him whenever any fan says that. Yes of course his life is made easier in terms of what he gets to do, I'm sure if he has an idea, it probab...

Jan Terri ? A True American Treasure [Best Video Ever Made]
2008-04-19 18:14:00 I recently did a search on YouTube for ?Best Music Video Ever Made?. Jan Terri?s ?Losing You? popped up…and I watched. Words cannot do this video justice. The makeup, the hair, the wardrobe, the casting ? all complete abominations. If you expect me to believe Jan Terri has friends to wave at, money for a limousine ...

Terri Irwin In Lawsuit over the Late Steve Irwin’s Zoo
2008-03-17 16:18:00 Steve Irwin,who died in 2006, was believed to have been planning to build a Crocodile Hunter Park with rides and interactive exhibits. However, it looks as if his father, Bob Irwin, who started the zoo 32 years ago, does not believe this new vision will honor his late sonÂ’s memory or enhance his legacy. In a statement to the press, Bob Irwin said he recently quit i Popular: 8 hours 15 minutes ago source: (bittenandbound.com)

The Fear Factor: The real reason Simon Cowell won't marry girlfriend Terri
2008-03-02 17:41:00 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/page-s/live/arti...in_page_id=1773 X-Factor boss Simon Cowell has revealed the real reason he will never marry girlfriend Terri Seymour - because he fears she will "do a Heather Mills on him" and leave him broke. The music mogul said his partner of five years was "great" but admitted the concept of marriage in the entertainment industry was a scary ...
Terri Vaughn Elopes, Talks New Film Project
2008-03-01 20:48:00 Terri Vaughn decided to take a chance on love again and recently headed to Vegas to marry Karon Riley of the Cleveland Gladiators while awaiting the birth of her second baby boy. Plus, she talks about her upcoming docufilm on the plight of Black actresses.Essence.com: Congrats on your documentary, Angels Can't Help But Laugh, which has been circulating the film festivals. What is the significance of the title?Terri Vaughn: When I began filming the documentary I was in the midst of making a bold move?out of my [first] marriage. I was reading A Woman's Worth by Marianne Williamson, and there was a line I read that said, "angels can't help but laugh." Immediately, I knew that was the title for this project. For me, the title simply means that throughout all the trials and tribulations, we [as actresses] are still able to laugh and love what we do and stay motivated in the midst of it all.Essence.com: In your docufilm, Regina King, Malinda Wiliiams, Tasha Smith and Sheryl Lee Ralph s...
Back to the old Blog
2008-03-01 02:04:00 Now that I?m back in Canada, I think I?ll go back to my old blog. There isn?t much more to say about the trip. I?ll go back to blogging about Canada. The irony of this all is that while I was writing my normal blog, I desperately wanted people to read what I had to ...
C-C-Cold
2008-02-27 14:29:00 One of the drawbacks about having plans change part way through a trip is the ability to adequately prepare. Since we were originally supposed to return in June, not a single article of winter clothing made it on the packing list. After Stephen?s abrupt termination, coming home before the flowers bloomed suddenly became a necessity. ...
Fond Farewells
2008-02-24 13:09:00 So it?s been a week of fond farewells (University Administrators notwithstanding). In general, it?s been nice of people to show us their support. I?m disappointed that Ghanaweb decided to post the blog that they wanted to post as opposed to asking us which blog incited everything. Such is life sometimes. I will definitely have fond memories ...
Developing High Value Skills
2008-02-23 20:24:00 Vhlupien brought up a good point about getting someone (perhaps an MBA) to develop the little fruit drying business we started. Although it would be great to get expertise, I want to explain a little why I don?t want to head in that direction. I feel that it?s very important to develop the high value skills ...
One last trip to Accra
2008-02-22 20:02:00 Stephen needed some data from the Akosombo dam, so we took one last trip to Accra yesterday on our way to getting it. He?s hoping to do some optimization for them in terms of electricity and water use. In general the pollution makes it hard for me to enjoy Accra but this time, we had ...
Radio Station
2008-02-19 18:09:00 My phone rang earlier today and a man identified himself from a local radio station. He wanted to speak to Stephen so I handed the phone over. I knew some students were trying to take Stephen?s story to the media but I never imagined they would succeed. I suppose they were angry at the way ...
The Obruni Sales Agent
2008-02-18 16:39:00 In contrast to the time I wasn?t allowed to go purchase materials (as costs are always inflated when white folks are around), I am now obliged to go introduce potential retailers to the dried fruits we make. The reason is that Ghanaians apparently don?t support each other?s businesses. I?m guessing it has to do with ...
We?re spending too much
2008-02-17 13:16:00 I went to the bank with a friend a while back to get some cash. My friend thought I was taking out the money to make a big purchase somewhere. He couldn?t figure out why I wanted that much cash — for the record it was just a thick wad of 5?s. In order to ...
You don?t want to make money?
2008-02-16 11:57:00 Since our arrival here, we have encountered some very bizarre retail situations where merchants have declined to make money off of us. I?m not entirely sure what to attribute them to so I will recount some particularly memorable ones that have happened to me or my friends here. My friend and I were in town looking ...
Project Update III
2008-02-15 18:03:00 Hurray, the first batch of solar dried fruits has gone into the dryer. So here?s Stephen in front of our dryer (which is based on some research done by some great folks back home). The advantage that we have over them in Canada is 1) the African sunshine, and 2) the heat that comes along ...
Valentine?s Day
2008-02-15 17:47:00 Happy belated Valentine?s everyone. The second holiest day in the capitalist calendar nearly passed me by without notice. That is until my friend here invited me over for a ?chocolate? day potluck. She had a visitor from the U.S. who has been reading our blog, and I got the best unexpected Valentine?s Day gift ever ...
French Classes
2008-02-12 17:57:00 The campus is alive again and I?m starting to feel a sense of sadness now that we?re so close to leaving. I decided not to disturb the course instructors by sitting in on the French classes for a mere week before going, but as I trot past the French department with classes in session, I ...
Sika
2008-02-11 05:01:00 What makes a trip better than meeting good friends? When we first arrived, it was the warm hospitality of the Centre for International Education that made us feel very welcome. When Sika knew we were coming, she bent over backwards to ensure that our accommodations were looked after. The best part about ...
For Women Only
2008-02-10 13:19:00 If you?re not a woman, don?t read on — you have been warned, and I take no further responsibility… I thought I?d touch on a few girls only topics that might be handy for anyone travelling. We of course have issues that men don?t have to deal with so I hope this helps. Periods ? Tampons ...
Nature?s Natural Bowls
2008-02-09 13:09:00 My neighbour gleamed with excitement at seeing something so familiar to her. She asked me, ?do you know what those are?? pointing to some large fruits on a tree. Happily she explained that they are nature?s natural bowls called ?Calabash? (not entirely sure if that?s how it?s spelt). You saw it in ...
TERRI IRWIN ON BRITNEY SPEARS REHAB
2008-02-09 02:35:00 Steve Irwin’s widow is inviting troubled singer Britney Spears to rehab in the Australian bush.The singer left the mental hospital on Wednesday less than a week after she was placed on psychiatric evaluation, the latest drama in the star?s media meltdown. A number of famous stars have offered Spears shelter since her personal troubles ...
Cars that bug me
2008-02-08 17:40:00 Back home, there are few things that bother me more than seeing people drive SUVs in the city. They?re little more than gas guzzling air polluters. Why anyone would need them to navigate perfectly smooth concrete is beyond me. I?d be interested to look at the percentage of SUVs that actually make it off road. ...
Canadian Food Inspection Agency, I miss you!
2008-02-07 12:34:00 Stephen?s been on the toilet for a while today after eating suspect cookies last night. We were hungry, so we purchased a box of chocolate chip cookies from the corner store. The expiry date was nearly a full year away, so we hungrily chomped our cookies without further concern. I will never ...
Pineapple Bruschetta
2008-02-06 14:22:00 I made this one morning for brunch as some friends were coming over and I longed for some semblance of home. Pineapple is always available whereas tomatoes are seasonal. Tomatoes were in short supply when I decided I wanted bruschetta. It turned out quite tasty. Sometimes you can get dried herbs if you know where ...
Don?t let this represent Ghana
2008-02-05 14:40:00 As we are getting closer to leaving, some of our friends are concerned that our negative experiences here have ruined our image of Ghana. Please, they implored, don?t let this represent Ghana. One rotten apple should not be allowed to spoil a barrel. Certainly we?ve had a good time overall, and more importantly we have ...
MANIC - a new novel by Terri Cheney
2008-02-03 20:25:00 MANIC (Paperback) by Terri Chen-ey This memoir has recently been published. In a word, it is terrific. The author has uniquely blended the stark reality of being Manic Depressive, with an exceptional writing ability. This is rarely found in the mental illness memoirs I have read. From the very first page, Terri’s description of her world is riveting, as she ...

Project Update
2008-02-03 13:55:00 The fruit preservation project has almost completed phase 1. It took a long time because our carpenter went on Christmas holidays leaving me out to dry. When he came back I inquired why he did no work for me for three weeks whilst ignoring my phone calls. His excuse was that he didn?t know when ...
Exasperated
2008-02-01 14:11:00 Sometimes I feel really bad because of how exasperated I get. I try to cut people slack because things that we consider rude aren?t considered rude here. For example, having ?obruni? hollered at me incessantly isn?t a thing people consider impolite in Ghana, but it irritates me quite a bit. I don?t mind children that ...
One Pot Gumbo
2008-01-30 15:57:00 This has easily been Stephen?s favourite meal here - possibly because he only has one pot to clean afterwards. Tomatoes were in season when we first got here so it was a challenge figure out how we can creatively eat tomatoes without getting bored. Finding meat was a challenge at first (especially since we didn?t ...
Terri, the sports fan
2008-01-29 10:56:00 Terri always harasses me when I want to watch a Pittsburgh Steelers game. “How can you watch that silly game?” “Aren’t you going to do anything else today?” “How could anyone care who wins or loses?” Terri didn’t live in Pittsburgh… Terri just doesn’t know what it’s like to live in a place that lives and ...
Plantain and pineapple pizza
2008-01-27 14:06:00 I made this while craving for a taste of home. The thought of pizza just hit the spot. Sometimes I’ll put chicken or fish on it too. Enjoy! Pizza dough (I just used a 2 cup pizza dough recipe I found online) 2 cups flour 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon sugar 1 cup warm water 1 package yeast (you can ...
Secret Recipes
2008-01-27 14:04:00 Or perhaps not so secret… When we first arrived, we had a very hard time finding 1) variety of food and 2) food that didn?t intimidate us. We now are much more used to the food (both local and imported), so getting most things isn?t a problem. Stephen thought I should share some of my ...
Getting ripped off
2008-01-26 12:22:00 My neighbour and I went into town together a few days ago and we decided that the most wearisome thing about living here is constantly getting ripped off. In fact, it?s so wearisome that it is stopping me from going into town and getting more clothing made. The biggest problem is with the taxi drivers ...
Ants in the Furniture
2008-01-23 15:46:00 The other day Stephen and I were playing Oware (a unique African game) when I noticed that there was a congregation of little red ants on the cushion. I quickly wiped them up and sent them down the drain. A little while later, another congregation had formed a few inches up the couch. ...
Sandblast exfoliation
2008-01-21 17:36:00 As much as I enjoy the occasional spa treatment, it is way overrated. All the goodness of the spa can be found at the beach. When Stephen and I went to play in the waves in Grand Bassam, these 6 foot waves came crashing towards us. At times it was scary (I have a few ...
Ignoring the Travel Warnings
2008-01-20 14:55:00 Stephen and I headed across the border with our friend Arnold to Cote D?Ivoire. It is rather ironic since I was hoping to travel to all the neighbouring countries except Cote D?Ivoire. The fear came from somewhere between the nasty travel warnings on the Government of Canada website and the fact that they are recovering ...

Toilet Paper
2008-01-16 17:34:00 This post might border on the edge of TMI (Too Much Information), but I just want anyone who is coming to Ghana for an extended stay to know to pack as much TP (Toilet Paper) your baggage space will allow. Toilet paper is expensive here (in relative terms since it?s a foreign product), so ...
Things are getting cheaper
2008-01-15 13:42:00 Well, that?s not fair to say since there?s fairly high inflation here and numbers go up for fixed priced items. However, many things are getting cheaper for us. Part of the reason is that we are now more familiar with how much things should cost, so our tendency to overpay has decreased. ...
Cocoa Pods
2008-01-14 13:20:00 Mmmm…Chocolate! For the first time in my life I have now seen a cocoa pod. I?m used to chocolate of all sorts, but few of us know what the origins of that bitter-sweet goodness looks like. To my surprise, the cocoa bean is actually a fruit you can eat. The flesh ...
Intercity Transport
2008-01-12 15:19:00 For the most part we have travelled with friends in private vehicles but yesterday we headed to Accra on public transport. We took the 4am bus with some friends on the STC (State Transportation Company). The vehicles are like any other coach bus. It?s the most comfortable way to go between cities (if you don?t ...

I?m a liability
2008-01-10 14:23:00 That?s right, I?m a liability. We needed some materials for the completion of our solar dryer. Nothing special — a few planks of wood, nails, and other mundane stuff. I asked our partners if they could pick some up and I offered to help. ?No? they implored. At first I was hurt that they didn?t ...
NGOs
2008-01-08 18:22:00 I mentioned that I did some volunteering with a local NGO, but I haven?t really talked much about it. In truth, it is because I haven?t been spending as much time there as I could/should. However, I do want to write a bit about this NGO in particular and touch on what I?ve learnt about ...
Recognizing foreign credentials
2008-01-06 14:09:00 Lawrence has brought up a very good point about the ?meaningless paper? that some schools give out and the difficulty it presents for employers to distinguish foreign credentials apart. For a while now, Stephen and I have both advocated the recognition of foreign credentials in Canada. Coming from immigrant families, we have seen how difficult ...
Accra Market
2008-01-05 14:11:00 The shopkeepers of a store we often patronize needed to go to Accra to restock items for their store. They kindly asked if we would be interested in coming along since we had told everyone we knew that there were interested stowaways if they were going anywhere. We skipped the tourist attractions as ... |
