I was disheartened to hear another person say today that they weren't going to vote as " they're all a bunch of crooks". Well, with attitudes like that, many of the old council might get back into office.Me. i'm voting for all new candidates..in the hope that this time we may have a good mayor...

Several months of bad skiing & the changing to the lighter "Union Suit":-(

Wind chill factor:lol:

Ex British Prime Minister Tony Blair converted to catholicism last week,joining his wife and family in the religion. Wisely, he waited until after he stepped down from political office to do so. I would like to think that the Brits would have accepted him if he had changed religion while in...

While generally I am against the banning of any books, there are some that shouldn't be allowed in any school. Books on bombmaking and How to Cheat At Cards are two good example that come to mind.:lol:

Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons are the first two I never want to see or hear again. They were both great way back when, but their day has passed and only the nostalgia of the older generation keeps them going. Even the Energizer bunny wears out after a time:smile:

In its third week now and our favourite shows will soon be gone or in rerun.Are there any shows you have a hard time missing,or just love to watch regularly? Mine are Heroes, NCIS and The Unit.

Of course, the major reason is that it's Winter, but also, the weight gain from the holiday feasting, the bills rolling in from all that Christmas shopping,the income tax forms that come to your home just after Christmas and all those financial consultants trying to get you to maximixe your...

The Chia Pets go on sale at all the discount outlets:smile:

Very soon, our favourite politician will be marrying his long time companion,and will become the second married homosexual in current Canadian politics. I congratulate them on having the courage to go through with this very public act in the face of much criticism from many groups and sincerely...

Been looking for a nice,medium priced two family house for myself and my youngest daughter and her family ,and have viewed many properties & had more than a few disappointments along the way. This time just could be the one & I won't jinx the deal by jumping before the final ink has been...

The Hangman's Daughter and Texas Blood Money are the two films,filmed in South Africa and blessed with the names of Robert Rodrigues & Quentin Tarrentino in the credits. Naturally, they are not on the same level as the original but are good gruesome fun to watch. I just had to buy them,proving...

It's Fall and I have just closed all my open windows and turned on my electric heat.I'll miss the fresh air in my bedroom at night, but do not want to freeze while Im catching my usual 40 winks. So, until sometime next Spring..farewell street noises and fresh air :cry:

I bet children all over North America are cheering now that this odious veggie has been declared a health hazard :D Even I, as a child, was forced to eat some of it {YUCK!} My hope is that soon brussel sprouts will also be found to have disastrous effects on our health and that bacon will be...

Wisely the mint has decided not to create the two hundred dollar bill. This leaves the hundred as the highest bank note in current mass circulation in Canada. A major reason why this is happening is that store owners complained that changing one or more of these bills would empty the till, and...

As a long time resident of the area once know as the City of Lancaster, and being dissatisfied with the way Saint John is ignoring my area, I believe it is time for a legal divorce to rescind amalgation and for us to become a city on our own again. It was a shotgun mariage to begin with and most...

Our forces moved their operating base to the heart of all the fighting and today, there was another fierce firefight[2 of ours slightly injured]. No one had better call any of our troops cowardly!On the other hand, this is not the best way to fight terrorists..smaller kill teams of 5 or...

In the Koran, there isn't one mention of attaching explosives to one's body and detonating in a crowded area. Possibly,this is due to the fact that gunpowder didn't exist in 500AD, or that the Koran preaches peace. In that year, the only possible way of selfexploding was to gorge oneself on...
