  1. Cliff said that! I NEVER go ro bars, there is no need to.
  2. Perhaps I am reading it all wrong but I have been in a lot of bar fights in my younger years. I survived by not waiting for the other guy to “give me his best shot” and then fighting back. If I knew I was going to be in a fight I fought! The worst thing you could say to me was “lets step outside” because I would drop you right there! They fight in Bars? The last time a work buddy asked if I wanted to go for a beer was 1970. Am I missing something about bars! Lol My parents NEVER went so it was ok with me also. Hope no one pulles the trigger, I'm like BC getting old but have a lot of little ones who need this world.
  3. You're a hoot! Listen for cougar calls, you may want to record bthose too
  4. B just take stake with you and plant it where that blade of grass is, with a sign NO FISH HERE!
  5. Mr B I was going to ask about "up there" when you guys are in the dark! Not that meaning Unfortunatley my daughter was in a situation (2012) in Woody, to Clarence which you know, a woman all in black, dark night January and snowing, (sorry she wasn't Greek, or Italian as stated in a former thread)she walked out on her right and she didn't see her, just a bump, But our insurance didn't agree! They wanted to "collect"! On renewal she was cancelled. NO charges were laid. I do not know if she got a pay out, damn stupid if it was a put on!!! She got another insurer and after 5 years it still shows up! I have to fill out a form stating she is no longer under my policy!! she is married, has a child, her husband is a Minisrty of Labour Inspector, have their own home . . .and bites me in the ass but not financially, just pain to get the forms, but who knows if it's affecting my rates.
  6. I rarely answer the phone at home. I have four daughters and wifie. In their teens it was never for me, and being 3 years apart that was along time. Now they are all happily married. MY dear mother used to call at 6 pm every night to check if we ate and got home ok. Until I said mom did you eat , yes at 4:30! Mom can you call back at 7 please. I ran into a few but always told them I needed a pencil and paper to take down the information and put the phone down and went on with dinner!
  7. One just got killed at Steels and Albion. It was scary yesterday between Bathurst and Bayview along Center/John street with a full canopy of trees and the lights burried in the branches, never went over 35.
  8. A short time out is fine; a month, especially if you have family. But some of these "Canadians" come, get a pension and leave and collect, come back for a short time and still have health benefits!!!!!
  9. They all make "promises." What does it really mean? It's going to cost us in the long run. it's our money they are playing with and when they need more they hike taxes. I sat next to a friend of one of the standing cabinet ministers (in my riding) last night for dinner and had to hold back on asking questions about policies, he would have never finished to push him !!! I have voted for 40 years, the last few Ont provincial governments have been brutal regarding tax hikes. So they can squander billions. Who knows where this will take us
  10. Heard hammering outside and seen this across the street Hope the owners let him/her stay
  11. Seacore in woodbridge. A new place, actually they have been supplying fish market for years? Toppins they just opend up in Woodbridge. I do them three times a year and I get them from Fortinos.

  14. I've Been there many times, know the feelings well. Hope it all goes well.
  15. I've changed a lot of switches, ran into a 'bridge' problem once but NEVER a broomstick solution If I don't need to go to the box please explain Wayne, my light bulb is starting to fade
  16. take Cliff's offer he will even let you fish off the dock with a cold one. he has helped me and I've sent stuff to him to fix and help others.
  17. You didn't have a rock lol could have flambé it! And the rest Wel . . .
  18. And me even more than 110% My parents were immigrants and worked hard for what they had, passed those values onto us (two boys) we both worked hard also, my brother a master plumber ( 43 years with the same firm) Me, a skilled typographer and still at it (45+ years) we were nevr unemployed and collects nothing, alway paid in. My grandfather came here in 1903, but back then you were not allowed to stay, work and leave.
  19. Lew, back in Europe my dad was cutting away parts of an old olive tree (they never cut the whole tree down) inside the tree he found this coin and gave it to my grandfather as it had an engraving of Mary and a Pope, but they never knew . . . Who it was. In 1973 while visiting I was looking for old pictures and anything else I could bring back. In my grandfather's house (which we had inherited I find the coin and brought it back to Canada and my dad told me where he had found it . . . Well after a bit of searching I find out that this was Pope Urban VIII he put Galeleo in prison for saying the earth was round lol. It was from the Vatican, known as a Papal Scudo. Don't know what it was worth or a commemorative piece. Solid silver struck by hand in 1634, (Annus VIII meaning it was from the 8th year of his rein) amazing condition and detail. Selling for well over a $1,000. The Star back in 81 gave me fifty for the story which they published. Have you ever found anything old lol
  20. Thanks, lesson learned. Always want to know different cultures. On the lively side I don't smoke, what now?
  21. My grandfather (1903) was allowed to come and "work" and nothing else, don't want to work get out. My parents in the early 60s were sponsored and came to "work" NO benefits allowed. They made it for many years on their own with two kids. WE followed their example and we paid our dues for 55 years. Contributed and never collected. YET when I retire my benefits will be less than a person claiming to be a refugee! Am I wrong on this? In my business there is NO Goverment pension plan and I have looked after myself. BUT why do we take care of others before the people who have paid in to it like me or my parents for over 50 years. Canada keeps criminals better off than the people that pay taxes. just listen to the three stooges jumping on the bandwagon looking for votes because of the refugee situation worldwide. I spend less than I earn, why can't the government do the same?
  22. beat me an hour and their payday is not bad. hei BM sold that place up in Alliston! Wep put up the sign and the guy who rented it for 30 years comes over and said I'll buy it!!!!! If only we had asked him no comm.
