World Health Organization announced today that eating processed meats like BACON, ham, salami etc will increase your risk of collon cancer by 18%. I wonder if this means that the demand for bacon will drop and with it, the price! LOL HH

Chow will be looking high and low for yet another elected position as she can't possibly be expected to thrive on her current government pension. The only bright side to the election results that I can see is that Chow is still un-employeed.... HH

Harper hugged the Fords in order to try and get Ford Nation on his side. Ford Nation is the only group that could possibly put a dent in the left wing support that downtown Toronto is famous for. They have been card carrying Conservatives their entire life. HH

It was the mid 70's and my teenage buddies and I decided to attend the London Sportsman Show. After wandering around for a while, we found out that Red Fisher was there signing autographs. We found him in a motor home in the far corner of the building. there was no line up. We made our way into the motor home, to the smell of cheap rye and b.o.. There he was, in all his glory, sitting at the table with a stack of his book of poems. He happily signed a copy for each of us. He then suggested that we hit one of the exhibitors who had a deal on a lure called a "Spinidity". He claimed it was a great lure for just about everything and that we should grab some before they were gone. Well, no fishin teenager in his right mind would not follow the advice of the great Red Fisher... I grabbed a few. They are basically a Tiny Torpedo, but a bigger version. Frog pattern. I have caught tons of fish with that lure! I still have one and it does get a fair amount of water time, given the correct circumstances. I think I paid a couple of bucks each for them. HH

Well, we are paying for the past through the debt reduction charge, but we are also paying for the green initiative and the exorbinate price tag associated with it. We are also paying other jurisdictions to take our "extra power" . How on gods green earth is it that we are paying New York State to take our power. I've said this before, but why are individual households subsidising industry's electricity costs. "On Peak" is the result of businesses using hydro to run their business. Should they then should the lion's share of the cost vs individual home owners? Does this wonderful government expect me to cook dinner on my electric stove at 9:00 at night. Should all my weekend time be devoted to laundry so I can afford the run my appliances. It's a mockery of a travisty. Did anyone else notice on the news recently that Canadians pay the highest monthly charges for cell phone? Transit costs near the top of the world as well. It's not like we get "world class" service from any of these goevernment insitutions. Somethings going to give and it aint gonna be pretty. HH

Morons throwing crap from the upper decks were just that, morons. It could have taken away the joy of the victory had any cans actually hurt anyone. Reports are that only some beer srpay on the kids, which in it's self, is not acceptable. Hopefully in the next round, folks have a little better control of their emotions. HH

I can't understand this. Uncle Katy decided that Harper wasn't taking good enough care of Canadians and specifically Ontarians, so She was going to create an Ontario Pension Plan. That was being sold as long term thinking to the betterment of Ontario's people. How can we take her at her word in the future, if she can't decide what she is going to do. She's left businesses, planning for the future, uncertain about projected costs of doing business. Business doesn't like uncertainty. She has the forethought of a shad fly. HH

Loup won't be with the team today, he's still dealing with "personal issues". I wonder if we will see Price today, although the TV guys are saying that Texas has juggled their lineup and the two left handers are batting back to back today. HH

No, it doesn't. He is a contract employee which is essentially "term" employment. The employer will view him as potentially cutting his term short, even if he doesn't accept the other offer. They will look for another "term" employee that they feel they can rely on to fullfill the obligations of the term. An employee who puts an employer in a position of concern, is usually a soon to be ex-employee. Also, should MB2 complete the terms of his current obligation, the employer could also look to another resource, that hasn't indicated that they might not fullfill their obligation. You should really look at this only from the point of view of the employer.... what employees think has little to nothing to do with these kind of decisions. HH

That's career suicide! Especially if you are contract. MB2 - do what's right for the family. Money is one thing, family time is another. You will do the right thing. HH

I'm having some significant difficulty figuring out who I should lend my support to; I don't trust any of them to do the right thing for the people of the country. The fact that Uncle Katy is supporting Justin, just sounds like an extension of the provincial Liberals, then anything else to me. i guess that if Uncle Katy supports it, I just have to consider my position with her and look elsewhere. On topic, 90K per year is not an un-common salary for professionals in the business world; especially in the large metropolitan areas. How do you think people can afford a $900k house in the GTA? HH

Just a dab of ketchup and that's got dinner for a couple of days covered Cliff! HH

I have been "dealing" with those little peckers for a couple of years now. They love to peck away at the sides of my house and sharpen their beaks on my roof flashing. Tossing rocks at them only gets them to move for a bit, rattling a rock from my sling shot at foot or two away from them gets them to look elsewhere for a bit. Pretty bird, but also quite the pest! HH

Those are some sweet Pickereyes..... HH

Maybe all he needed was a bit of pepper to add to the taste of the yak. HH

Well, according to what I have read here and other places, if only the students and teachers and custodians and lunch room folks were all carrying, none of this would have happened. Now you all know that I don't subscribe to that theory, but that is what so many of the gun advocates will say. My gut twists every time we hear about incidents like these. I can't help that think of the loss that not only family and friends have taken, but the society as a whole. Could one of those victims turned out to be the doctor who cures cancer? Discovers a new a completely clean re-newable energy source. All the potential that those people had are now gone and lost to the world for ever. I guess their right to liberty and freedom don't weigh as heavily as others rights to bare arms and the easy access to them that has been enshrined in the country's mindset. HH

Awesome as always Simon! He's casting like a pro! HH

Congrats! Nothing better than babies!!! That said, I do think Wayne was getting at something a while ago when he mentioned you could field your own football team! LOL HH

Yah, liberty and freedom for everyone, except the 30,000 each year who are killed by guns. I personally wouldn't feel very free if I had to carry a gun everywhere in order to feel "free". HH Edit for typo...

You'll be hard pressed to find a line-counter that will cast effectively. I've seen it done with a Sealine, but it wasn't pretty! Those clip on line counters are a royal pain in the ba doop due, especially if you are late season trolling. They don't like cold weather. HH

I agree with you Lew and would quote you if I could get it to work on this flippin 'puter! HH

$30 odd BILLION in stock decline.... there's gonna be a few out of work Mexicans in the coming weeks. Question is, can these cars legally pass the Fresh Air test and what if anything can Volkswagen do to fix it? Then, there will be all those folks in class action lawsuits wanting compensation or a new car. Interesting times ahead. HH

And their dog Bunk... don't forget those pesky kid's dog! Gotta go, got a Scooby snack waiting for me... HH

I had a problem with coons getting into my green bin... until I got a dog. Just put the dog poop in the garbage and the coons will not go near it. HH

Trout/Salmon... HH
