Headhunter

Hey G, I was dealing with Rogers on another matter and ended up talking to a customer retention rep. I complained about having to pay $2 for my bill and they told me they would drop the fee. No issues. Can't hurt to try... HH

I have to agree with others in that she simply didn't wake up one morning and decide that from this day forward.... First step for me would be to book an appointment with her teacher to find if the change was initiated through some discussions or course work she was involved with. I would also ask the teacher for some insight into how she works in class and her interactions at school. We all think we know our kids inside and out, but I know how they interact with other kids is not something I have intimate knowledge of. I would also ask their advice, simply because as a professional, they have education and experience dealing with kid's challenges. You don't have to take their advice, but it can't hurt to have more ammunition, so to speak. I have an 11 year old daughter at home and like your daughter, she's 11 going on 30! She has a toughness that my son could only dream about having and the last thing I would want to do as a parent, is stifle that piss and vinegar. Gather more info is my best suggestion. And don't try an hit this issue head on... find a back door to approach to this so she doesn't see it coming and take baby steps with her.... And good luck!!! HH

That's it, from now on when I go fishing, I am going to talk the buggers into the boat. HH

Do you have Portuguese Water dogs MB? HH

Easyfish, your comment got me thinking... should we have animals in our possession for our own gratification? So, I decided to ask an expert... my Lab. We had a good chat and decided that he much preferred to be fed by us as opposed to chasing his meals and fighting for territory with all the other dogs. He feels pretty comfortable in his bed and figures that it is worth it to him to give up some of his personal freedoms, in order to live a happy life with our family. I know he can't speak for the animals at Ripley's, nor can he speak for the various animals locked in the zoo, but I thought I would pass this along so perhaps you can gain an appreciation for another point of view. Your mileage may differ. HH PS... I would quote you but I haven't been able to do that since the last system upgrade here.

Just be sure to buy your tickets ahead of time or you may end up disappointed. You can get them online. They have very specific entry times so, much like a CN Tower tour, you buy your tickets in advance for a set entry. HH

Run set lines... problem solved! HH

The Outdoor Stores, brings back memories of my youth! Growing up in London Ont., there were a limited number of shops available until the Outdoor Stores opened up in the east end of town. Being too young to drive, my buddies and I would plan a day there, riding our bikes from the other end of the city, just to pick up a lure or drool at the offerings. It was a sad day when they closed... I have $100 in BPS gift cards that I have had for well over four years! I haven't been there in that time and have no interest in making the trip... I was just not that impressed with them the last time I was there. HH

LOL Matt!!!! HH

I used to do the high heat blast to start the roast, but lately I prefer the low and slow method at 265 degrees. I found I was burning the spices on the outside of the roast with the high heat. HH

Hartley Bay in the French River... done! HH

I can't help you relieve all the stress, but this may help to alleviate some... Go to home Depot and rent their portable storage "Pods". They will drop them where ever you want, you load everything into them and they store them, until you are ready. They will deliver them the day you need them, right to your door. It make loading into your new place just that much easier... less stress! HH

That's good eats right there! That said, in the first pic, you have the roast up side down! Bones down and fat on top so that as it cooks, the juices run into the roast. HH

The first time I ever fished with FishnSled, we were on Quinte in the fall, hoping for a PB for him. We had put a good 7-8 hours into trolling around, without a sniff from Mrs. Pickereye. We were less than an hour from sunset and frankly, pretty darned bored. I think FnS suggested a little music to help bust the cob webs outta our heads and turned on the radio. AC/DC Back in Black was playing and with a minute or two, we had a fish on! Yes, at almost 12lbs, it was his new PB! HH

That's some fine picking/tapping there Mike! Thanks for sharing! HH

I like their take on this classic. HH

I am beginning to think that it is high time someone in the league gave Ovechkin a little of his own medicine. How is it that he can hit people with impunity and never gets called on it or suspended? The slash last night and the hit on Leo are just a few of the examples of him being above the law. I hope someone dusts him before he does too much more damage. HH

This is a true story as I was standing right next to my former boss, when it happened. We were having internet connection problems at the office. Bell was our provider. As many know, calling Bell for tech support gets you deep into "Emily" and eventually a call centre in India. Her call was dropped at least three times, by the good folks at Bell, meaning, she was on the phone for more than an hour, trying to get things solved. The final time, the call centre rep asked if he could put her on hold, while he connects with someone else in tech support. Well, having had the call dropped three times already, she wasn't going to have any of that! She told him no, don't put me on hold, you'll lose my call and I'll have to start all over again. His response... "don't worry, we'll be with you till we kill the goat". It did get solved, but I can't recall much after as I was rolling on the floor laughing so hard! HH

Back in their day, the player of this era would play the season out and go home and work the farm for the summer in order to make ends meet. That in it's self surely kept them humble and of the people. Not many do that any more! HH

I've got no problem with anyone keeping a legal musky to eat, as long as they keep the eye balls handy for perchin! HH

Drifter, I found that highly entertaining! HH

You, your girl and your Johnson! LOL!!!!! HH

Phones should be left on shore and outta reach... isn't that one of the reasons we all enjoy the sport, to get away from day to day? HH

Well, I broke my shovel this morning! I finished up my drive and headed across the street to do my neighbours driveway as she not capable. I have developed a real hate for interlocking driveways! Dang shovel kept catching the stones while I pushed like heck! Snapped the blade in half! The sun just came out here a few minutes ago, so it won't be long now G. HH

Thanks Simon... I know what I would be doing all day with fishing like that! Yah, I might end up having "hot tongue and cold shoulder" for dinner that night, but I could live with that, with fishin like that! Thanks for posting! HH
