With Shaw being the new owner the price will go up but service should improve..

Use your card on boxing day and you get 12% back in Canadian tire money on the card... not bad

I worked last year but I'm scheduled off this one . I have to go in on new years day though.. no big deal... my workplace isn't much different than Chris Brocks.. no thanks or Christmas party etc.. not even a handshake from anyone other than the shift foreman.

I buy gas at costco for 6-8 cents a litre cheaper . The discount on gas at Canadian tire requires you to spend more to get a better discount.. Their other card gives you Canadian tire money back but neither equals the amount I save at costco

Hahaha.. she wanted to get it into the back of her car.. not a passenger I'd want!!

I watched live free or die last night.. the married couple is painful to watch... the guy who built the dugout canoe did a lot of work for a floating brick.. he probably could have traded some firewood for a decent canoe that would last another 20 years... it's all for the show I suppose...

There's a helicopter flying over the house dropping vaccination baits in a grid pattern... I'm safe now!!

I'm off Christmas day so I guess that could count as one wish.. my father-in-law has been battling cancer for a couple of years now and they keep finding it in different spots.. a result of him working around PCBs for so many . If only there was a way to get rid of cancer.. there are so many things I could ask for but I think a successful day of ice fishing is all I really need.. I haven't fished in 6 months for various reasons and a day out would help clear my head a bit...

Putting a raccoon in a van with dogs probably isn't the smartest thing to do either... BUT, what if animal control was only planning to relocate the problem coon to a new area?? We would never have known about the rabies.. I'm going to have to be vigilant about them.. who knows how many around are rabid!!

And what is a winter break??.. lol

If this keeps up baseball will decline the way Nascar is.. even the cheap seats will cost too much.. the world really has their priorities messed up..

Indigo has some really good guide books for NYC and costco.ca has a citypass that will admit you to a lot of attractions at a big . Stay in jersey and take the bus or hotel shuttle to times Square.. we came close to going this year but we just didn't have any luck putting it together

I thought he was younger than 48.. I too am surprised he didn't die earlier.. he just couldn't shake the addiction.

same thing happened to me in late May.. I was in a canoe near shore and 2 guys moved right in on me from shore.. sometimes hitting the canoe. I refused to move off the spot and ended up with 21 crappie. I haven't been out fishing since..

I see the Lancaster regularly so I guess I'm lucky.. I've been inside the museum during the moment of silence and the building rumbles.. this year it's flying partner was the b25 so the noise was beautiful.. all of the services around here get a flyby and in years past we used to get one at our service at work ...

Thank you OhioFisherman..

CHCH is broadcasting from the warplane heritage museum with some amazing stories about the airplanes and crews that served is so well..

The history channel has some amazing programming this week leading up to November 11.. last night focused on the tunnels under Vimy Ridge.. I was reading up on the POW camps here in Canada and the 35000 German prisoners.. 6000 of them wanted to stay after the war but according to the Geneva convention had to be repatriated back to Germany.. thousands were sponsored to come back by Canadians..

You let your cat outside, you take your chances. Ours stay inside due to the dangers of being out. I hate all the neighborhood cats that show up to dig up the garden and mark their territory....

We have a cenotaph here at work but most years only the office staff and those not in production can attend . I have no idea what they are doing this year but they usually have a piper for the last post along with a few veterans. We may receive an invite but it's up to the department manager to let us know and they rarely do.. I'm on nights so I might just attend the service at the warplane museum...

The tree guys are cashing in right now .. there's just too much work available. High quotes are to be expected.. I wouldn't pay more than a grand myself.

My old Stevens 410 got quite the workout at moose camp.. lots of birds around Nipigon this year.. too bad there were no moose

A long time ago when the Bay of Quinte still had fish in the shallows of Mohawk Bay, my buddy and I spotted something bobbing in the water.. turns out a small tinny turned over with 4 adults and one kid. The fishing method was to drift and pick up fish off the bottom but the problem that day was the waves were bad, especially for a 12 foot boat. We managed to get 3 in my boat and 2 in another we flagged down. Only the kid had a life jacket on!! His dad was clinging to the overturned boat exhausted and the other guys were nearby.. I brought the 3 into the back of the boat to prevent us from suffering the same fate .. it can happen in an instant..

We protect theses types from death with laws to punish the drivers.. in the old days it was natural selection that got them... as for riding a bike on Friday sidewalks, there would still be people saying it's the drivers fault..

The guy who lives next to me has depression and anger issues. He smokes a lot of pot that can't help with his depression but maybe with the anger?? . Almost 40 with no job and way . I just don't think it is a net benefit for everyone.. I Do wish I had access to medicine made from it without the high..
