  1. You see a lot of interesting body art in this industry which is rather intriquing, and must say I've always wondered about having a small one done. I came across a tv show which does brief cameos of various innovative Canadian tattoo artists. The show is called "Art Hurts", and can be found on the CBC online service GEM. Might want to take a look
  2. Just finished a kitchen reno, had to purchase a new stove and dish washer.
  3. Might want to take a look at Freya Woods, nice discrete location in the west end. She's on LL and twitter/
  4. Also might want to try Ms.Samantha, I believe she had an ad up here last Saturday. No haircut though.
  5. Doing some kltchen renos, and wouldn't you know the contractor measured the new counter an inch too short. Gotta wait a week to get a new piece.

    Best VPN?

    I use NordVPN, has a good rep and found it very cheap as I paid for three years $2.99 a month.
  7. Many years ago I had the doctor tack down a similar tear using a laser and found it was quick and painless, done in his office, and forestalled continued deterioration. Eye care has come a long way, hope you have a similar positive outcome.
  8. The conservatives i.e. Ford and co are great about bitching about doing something for the environment, but don't seem able or willing to come up with an alternative solution. The majority of people will be getting back most or all of their carbon tax contribution.
  9. I just got a new OnePlus6T phone, couldn't get one locally so had to order it online. Shipping was free, it was sent from California and arrived the next day. It's a Chinese brand ( they are really building some great phones these days ) with great specs and I'm really impressed with it. One positive is that it supports dual sims, so when I travel I only need to carry one phone.
  10. And you also get the complainers suggesting that the software isn't right because it over road their do not disturb setting, my suggestion is if they don't want to be disturbed at night just turn the phone off.
  11. Interestingly I had to have a colonoscipy the year following my wife's death. As they had given me Demirol on a prior occasion to lessen the discomfort during the procedure, it was necessary that I had someone to get me home following the procedure. On this occasion I showed up by my self so was given several options, I chose to go ahead "sans drugs" not wanting to go through the cleansing preparations again. It's kind of like getting dental work without being frozen. Better be safe than sorry. Ouch !!!
  12. New email this morning, they informed me there was a self assessment done and they had $335 to refund me. Just had to log in to the CRA portal, link included and have you debit/credit card available.
  13. I sympathize, my mum also suffered with dementia. She fell and fractured her hip and the doctor wanted to operate, it took a lot of persuading to get them to withdraw treatment and allow her a palliative death. It was a relief when she passed away and was free from suffering.
  14. I do have a Seiko SARB 065, a very pretty cocktail time, and it's a JDL. I got it through Island Watch, and I see he'll sell modified Seikos to your specs, new crystal, hands, and bracelet. Only problem is it's in US currency.
  15. Just finished an interesting but quirky series called Sex Education. It's an original Netflix offering, a pretty open story about high school students learning about sex.
  16. Bought an automatic divers watch, Orient makes fairly good quality watches at very reasonable prices. This brand is under the same corporation as Seiko.
  17. ALO has the Loft which isn't any futher than Brass or CMJ, on Bronson.
  18. I don't think they are trying to sweep it under the rug. It is an issue that is sensitive to the electorate, and for political reasons can only be addressed early in a mandate, so if it get addressed it's only if he's elected to a new majority term, which I think is quite possible.
  19. I've had one for close to 50 years and can't remember any complaints, but it's clean and pretty soft.
  20. Having a nice glass of scotch, sitting in front of a nice fire in the fireplace on this dreary day.
  21. I am a great fan of YouTube. I just watched a very interesting and thoughtful TED talk by Esther Perel titled Rethinking infidelity. I would highly recommend it as it's provocative and food for thought on a subject familiar I would think to the majority of members of the board.
  22. I leased Subaru Crossteck in September, so I bought laser measured floor mats and just finished installing them. They are a bit on the expensive side, but they fit perfectly and I think they'll do a great job at keeping the wet and salt out of the carpets.
  23. Last night the guides came by selling cookies, I thought it was a thing of the past.
  24. Hey RG, I just sold my car, and I'm sure it was stated in the used car package issued by the registry that it was the sellers responsabilty to have the test done.
