Temps are falling fast---down to 0 here in Wasaga by 3 pm. It looks like the ice further North will be OK by Mon or Tue(never "safe", of course---all the precautions apply)

So we are supposed to know what -62 feels like?????๐คจ

My wife loves to eat fish. My standard line is that if I have no fish I need to be home on time. If I have fish then I can come home any old time I'd like!๐

I did have a couple of GM product that were marginally OK but never will buy another after what they did in Oshawa!! -

Great stuff, Brian. I just re-connected with son #2 after a longer period that I care to remember. He has lots of probs but it's good to be connected again. I hope to do whatever i can to help him overcome his probs -
I always look for, and have found, a fairly small family run business----honest and competent people who are in it for the long haul, who are content to make a reasonable profit , and prob want to pass the business down to their children. In a small town that is essential for survival, IMO. We also have a Home H business here in town that is in it's second generation and seems to follow the same philosophy.

I took one on our canoe trip this year---works really well. I was amazed at how far I could cast, though mostly used for trolling -
Half the fun is setting the hook. I have 1 or 2 that I made just for S & Gs but can't be bothered to set it up.

I would like to see them arrive at that destination ASAP!! Hmmm---now I'm puzzled as to what to do. Several people on here recommended using Paypal rather than a credit card on-line as, the way I understood it) offering better protection.

Hey, wait a minute---it was a 'crap' team yet they were beating the Leafs by 4 or 5?? What does that make the Leafs??๐๐๐ค -
Thx--I just e-mailed them. I'll see what their response is.

But they identified the exact amount I had paid and the company i had paid it to.

I bought tix on line using Paypal. QA few days later I got a txt msg saying that my payment had not gone thru and to log on to the seller's site and pay again. I phoned the venue and they said everything was hunky dory---payment had gone thru. My basic question--what the hell?? Also curious how they got my cell #.

This is cribbed from the internet and is not aimed at anyone in particular, so don't take it personally. It might give something to think about though---a mile in someone else's shoes and all that.. ==================================================================- "Notice how it's white people who tend to say "people these days are too sensitive. Remember when people could say what they want and people were thick-skinned enough to not freak out?" Here's the thing: such times never existed. What you actually remember is a time when you could be an my father to people who society systemically discriminated against and they were too afraid to tell you that you were being an asshat because, if they did, society (including the police) would take your side and punish them for standing up to you. What you're experiencing now isn't people being "too sensitive." You're experiencing a time when sufficient equality exists that people can now safely tell you what an asshat you are."

Not true---I already posted above that I think DC has done some quite good stuff. Hater?? A difference of opinion and 'hate' are 2 very different things. I didn't mean to offend you with that clock comment. I have a weakness for smart assed comments. It's just that the silly 'logic' from your fictitious(I assume) incompetent lawyer didn't merit any detailed response. You do have a point about cutting people some slack when they mess up though. Sportsnet and the general public prob would have cut him some slack if he had offered an apology instead of a 'clarification'----did not seem very contrite. I don't buy this 'leftie' vs 'rightie' business when it comes to people taking offence. It wasn't the 'lefties' who object to the Arabic being shown on police cars in London a few years back. (Heck, if they disallowed Arabic they would need to replace 911 with IX---try that on your cell!๐) Racism is the the right word. Not to nitpick, but the experts class the people from the Indian sub-continent all the way over to the European sub-continent as being of the same race. Those brown skinned Indians are the same race as the whities---Google it! '

My thoughts entirely----sounds like that lawyer is eager to have his clock cleaned!!
