Truly sorry for your loss and the situation you have been forced into. HH

My bunnies, found them April 10 2021
Headhunter replied to GBW's topic in Non-Outdoors Open Discussion
It's pretty rare fro me to take a gander out the window and NOT see a rabbit in my backyard. Every year, they have a bunch of babies and every year, I find most of them have been pulled into the skimmer for the pool. It happens usually after a night rain. They can't smell the pool in the rain and inevitably, the fall in the pool. Yah, I feel pretty bad about it, but in reality, there is little to nothing I can do to avoid it. HH -
Marinas cannot be used for recreational boating

https://www.cp24.com/news/13-year-old-brampton-girl-dies-after-contracting-covid-19-1.5402037 So it's not just taking older people.... Also, have a look at India's DAILY case count of over 300k positive tests. Horrifying! HH -

Alternatively, you could ask them if they would rather live for two more years or die drowning in their own fluids. I'm guessing I know the answer to that question. HH -

As I understand it, anyone who has either started their trip or at any point were in India prior to landing in Canada are banned, for now. In-direct flights are included in the ban. I did get a call back from my MP's office this morning. The point was kinda moot given the announcement last night. HH -
Well, that's something you don't see every day! Me likey! HH

If you buy your tv at Costco, you can purchase an extended warranty that will cover you for five years. Well, I am honestly not sure they still do, but they did when I bought my last tv there. HH

I just called my MP's office to get an answer to the question why are we allowing flights from countries with high variants into the country. I await a response from "a colleague" who can answer my question. I'll update once I get the return call. HH -
I think I would like to see a bit of a bigger fence! HH

With three distinct viruses, rather than the rather mundane original version and a fourth potentially hitting us here in Canada, I just can't wrap my head around why we haven't locked down the airports to international flights? Rumblings of putting India on a no fly list, but when? HH -

When you live in a less densely populated area, you can make these kinds of decisions for yourself. When you live in an area that has high population density, we are talking about a completely different ball game. Easy for folks who have little to no chance of exposure to the virus to pass judgment on those who have to live with it every day. I'm not saying you are wrong, just not on the same playing field.

Roger's Cell Network is down

It's a once a week here at the house! Best way I have found to empty out the fridge of it tender left over morsels! HH

Roger's Cell Network is down
Headhunter replied to Headhunter's topic in Non-Outdoors Open Discussion
When you call in, contact the billing department. They will try to get you to accept whatever they can get you to accept. Probably a day's rate., pro-rated for the month. If you don't get joy from them, ask them to send you to "customer retention" and haggle with them. HH -
Roger's Cell Network is down
Headhunter replied to Headhunter's topic in Non-Outdoors Open Discussion
Well, if Rogers is blaming Ericsson, then somebody dropped the ball at both companies. Nothing gets put into "production systems" unless it has been fully tested in a beta site. Also, Rogers should have a DRP (Disaster Recovery Plan) in place, for these types of situations. Given that the system went down in the middle of the night, that is typically when new apps are downloaded into production, so it makes sense that something killed the production system. Rogers will sue Ericsson, Ericsson will probably sue the outsourced development team and the legal battles will ensue for years. If you were affected by the outage, be sure to contact Rogers to get credit put on your bill. If you don't get joy, they have a group internally that is called "The office of the president". They are the top group of customer support folks who do have the power to deal with this. HH -

What are some good Lake Simcoe shore spots?

Canada's most reliable network is down. Cell service and data is down from BC to Ontario as well as some Atlantic provinces. Perfect timing Rogers as so many people are relying on the service, that they pay through the nose for, to book the vax appointments. Looking forward to how the naysayers bundle this into an anti-Dougie slam. Rogers as of this note have not provided any real response to customers other than, "we are working on it". God bless them.

Well, given that the vast majority of teachers, Admin and support staff are still in line waiting for their vax, please feel free to help out by grabbing a book, sitting in a room for 300 minutes a day with 25 potentially positive kids. Then, feel free to bring it home and share with your family. I have to believe that it is far better for kids to not attend family funerals, then to be remote learning. HH -
Interviews with regional police forces on the TV today indicate that they have no intention of pulling people over, whether driving, riding or walking. In fact, many of them have not even seen the legislation to which they are charged with enforcing. HH

Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist!! (true story).. Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners and military jets all travelling at maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields. American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the Windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the American engineers. When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken shot out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer's back-rest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin like an arrow shot from a bow.. The horrified Yanks sent Rolls Royce the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the British scientists for suggestions. You're going to love this.... Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo: "First ... defrost the chicken" HH
