  1. Not to pick on anyone but this is a real example: A couple of days ago I was headed into work (yes, at 68 I still have to work!) There were 4 hydro trucks parked on the side of the road. One of them flagged me down to ask if I knew how to get a turtle off the road (no, it is true) I got out, picked the turtle up carried it to the side of the road. Meanwhile, there are no less than 8 hudro workers standing around, turns out they had to cut down one tree. My understanding is that these guys start at $38.00/hour X 8. Now I wonder how many hours I have to work just to pay for them to cut down one tree? I have seen street lights installed for "friends" that never got a bill for them and never will, but you and I are paying for it. It doesn't stop there: Walk/don't walk lights installed at intersections on highways where there is no foot traffic? What idiot authorized those and how much are you and I paying for each of them? Speed signs: 60 ends, 20' further down the road, 80 begins ya think? It takes a smart hard working person to run a successful business; it seems that only an idiot gets to run a country! It's time Canada became a business and was run like a business. You don't produce, your fired!
  2. Ran into a bit of a hickup, turns out that there is a problem with the fiber optic cable and we won't be able to switch our TV over for another two or three months. OOh well, I can get all excited again in Sept or Oct. LOL.
  3. THE GOVERNMENT'S NEW SYMBOL IS THAT OF A CONDOM, Because it more accurately reflects The government's political stance.... A condom allows for inflation, Halts production, Destroys the next generation, Protects a bunch of dicks, And gives you a sense of security While you're actually being screwed ! Damn, it just doesn't get More accurate than that !
  4. Just saw Wynne on TV thanking from the bottom of her heart; all those who chose not to vote and all those who chose to destroy their ballots! She also wants to specifically thank the gay community for their support. Without that she would have only won a minority. She is now the first female elected premier and the first openly gay premier to ever be elected in Ontario. It is over, there is nothing we can do about it, instead of crying about it get busy trying to figure out how you and your family are going to survive the next four years and the damage that will follow. The only thing that might give us some hope is the federal election in 2015
  5. Well, I can assure you if it is so, this will be the last time I bother to waste my time or money going to vote. I have always said that the best liar gets elected, looks like it just proved my theory.
  6. Thanks so much Roy. I'll let him know!
  7. Same sort of thing. I have been making my own lately so I have been able to play around with colors and weights and that is where I came up with the idea of using a single hook instead of the trebble. Texas rig it and it is almost weedless.
  8. Roy, I sent you a PM early this morning but it shows you haven't read it yet. We have a member that has for some reason been blocked and can't access the site at all. No, I don't think they did anything wrong. Could you look into it for me please.
  9. I think we all remember good old Jean Chrétien with his "I put it right here in the red book me"! Even when they put it in writing they don't keep their promisses.
  10. As nothing but a declined ballot, nothing X infinity = nothing!
  11. A declined ballot is a nothing ballot, it isn't a vote for the PCs, it gets thrown in the garbage with the Tim Horton's cups! You might as well have written in "Tim Horton" and put an X beside it.
  12. I am still putting fish in the net almost every evening I dare to venture out and brave the mosquitoes. In-line spinners; remove the trebble hook and put a single bait holder hook on it, Texas rig that with a 3" twister tail to minimize weed hook ups and fish about 2-3' off bottom in areas where there is some weed growth or just off the established weeds. My best results are coming from mud bottoms and in 4-8 fow.
  13. That is a very nice offer!!!!!!
  14. Personally I think tared and feathered would be more appropriate but I'll settel for unemployed
  15. Sue and I just got back from doing our part. To all of you that did not cast a valid ballot thank you for making our two even more important, at least you didn't vote against us!
  16. Hi Simon It's Sue...... thanks so much for giving Sean a big kiss for me! What an incredible picture! I hope to see him soon so that I can give him a kiss myself. Sean is so lucky to have such a wonderful family. I love all you guys and hope to see you soon! Love Sue and Cliff
  17. All I can say is "if you don't get out and vote or if you destroy your ballet and it isn't counted" and the liberals get in, you deserve what is left of this province when they are done,. Trust me, there won't be much and it will be far too late to recover.
  18. OK, if I vote Green or some other party that isn't likely to get in that is just allowing one more vote for Whynn to be counted against the other parties. I don't like everything that Hudack has to say, and I don't agree with some of the things he is planning but when I consider that most of these attack adds are coming from Liberals and I know the Liberals are corrupt and liars the only chance I have of stopping them from getting in is to vote PC. Also, I like our local PC candiate, she has a good solid track record and a good history in the area. My reasoning may be flawed but IMHO it is a whole lot better than not voting or runing a ballot then sitting back whining. One last reason for my choice is that I heard on the radio the other day that we in Ontario are paying close to $30,000,000,000.00 less in taxes today than we did in 2009. Why? Because of tax cuts put in place by the PC party. I like that rational.
  19. The Fiberals have a proven track record, I have seen the proof and can't afford another round of their style of government. Unfortunatly that leaves a very limited choice because there is only one other real contender and even though they wouldn't be my first choice I feel like a vote for anyone else is just going to be a wasted vote.
  20. That's our beautiful legal system for you, just like suspending a drivers license for driving without a valid license. I actually know a guy up in French River that has been charged 15+ times for driving withoout a license (actually, he never has had one) He always shows up in court, they give him a fine, he never has any money to pay the fine so they give him time to pay, he still can't pay and the circle continues. I think he has done a couple of 30 day stints in jail, he actually drove himself to court several times. I'll bet this guy isn't much different!
  21. You foolish old fart, why didn't you tell me you had some wood to cut when I was there! You sure aren't getting any smarter in your old age!!!!! Glad to hear you are still in one piece though!
  22. Chainsaws can be dangerous; Beans and a chainsaw would be disasterous LOL.
  23. This is the latest must have computer hardware. You can forget that old school computer mouse, this thing can generate random key strokes faster then a three year old and beleave it or not it only costs peanuts (lots of peanuts though) Meet Alvin the computer chimpmunk.
