Baltimore is now going into a state of emergency....
- Thread starter Sal
- Start date
I hate the early-morning humidity in Salzburg. And I guess I could live without the incessant "Sound of Music" references everywhere you look. But the conference I'm attending is actually in the schloss they used to film "Sound of Music," so not much I can do about it. Coffee's AMAZING!
One of my favourite places in Europe is Salzburg. Brought my kids there in '06 and they thought there was too much Mozart even though they love to play his concerti on their violins.
I don't care about some...
you are thicker than a brick...I have told you that you are nasty right from the get go...which part of that confuses you?
I don't start it but I certainly can finish it. I am capable of giving way better than I get. People that are respectful get my respect. YOU are not one of them. But I am certainly capable of ignoring the feeble so when i quit answering you, know that it is by choice not because I am at a loss to address your rude posts.
You know,, at first I thought I shouldn't bother answering this post, in any meaningful way, simply because I'm a two finger typist and it's too much bloody work, but if you look through the archives of this and other forums, you might find that Bear and I we're often at odds on different matters, but since we were both adults in our differences, we had occasion to meet in Tottenham Ont,....and we did...and found out that we had more in common than in difference.
The invitation for a meet has been put out to others, every time I come down south with little success...
Are some people ashamed of who they pretend to be? I don't know...
I kow I met with Bear, a real nice guy...Idraterbeskying's wife, nice lady., never got a chance to meet with Doug......met with a few others who are no longer members....all nice folks....,
This is what makes me suspicious of people who hide behind the anonymity of the internet, I can understand people Leary of putting out information that can put their person or business at risk as it happened to bear in the past, but using anonymity in any other fashion is disingenuous at bests..
This is my rant for to-day.....
I will be in Missisauga across from Erin Mills town mall for about a week and I'm willing to meet with anyone, just to show I'm real...That's all!!
ANyway... beautiful morning here in Salzburg, clear as a bell, got some good pictures of the schloss and the lake folks'll remember from "The Sound of Music." Don't have any easy way to post 'em now, so I'll do that when I get back a week from Sunday.
Y'all play nice now.
Y'all play nice now.
yeah it's cool to meet up with people...I've met a handful on here back in the day and I guess more recently actually with one...I don't think it's that people hide so much as time constraints limit the ability or even interest for that matter.
although I have to say there was one poster on here whom I think completely misrepresented themselves...I thought it was obvious but others seem to believe every word that came out of their mouth and that's okay too really
for me it's about consistency regardless of which way they go...then they are likely true to what they represent and yes there is always the possibility of encountering a whack job...I also met up with a few people from a previous forum a few who I had into my home and we stayed in touch for many years, really though interest wains because the commonality is the forum so when the forum dies, it slowly fades
"But sitting in the van and watching people just living their lives, I started to see that these were just people. They weren’t that different from me. They had to pay rent. See their kids off to school. The main difference is that as a white kid growing up in my neighborhood, I was never going to get arrested for playing basketball in the street. I was never going to get patted down because I was standing on a street corner. There was no chance I was going to get a criminal record early on for basically being a kid. As a teen, I was never going to get arrested for having a dime bag in my pocket, because no one would ever have known. There was just no possibility that a cop was ever going to stop me and search me.
When you watch people for hours and hours like that, you start to see the big picture. You start to see the cycle of how these kids get put in the system at a young age, often for doing nothing wrong, and how that limits their options, which pushes them into selling drugs or other crime. You start to see that they never had a chance."

Maybe not this trip but someday when you're down in Mississauga I may just pop in for coffee. You're buying right?
The Credit Valley Hospital is across the road from Erin Mills Town Centre. I hope that you are okay and not a patient, there.
Not to worry, but I had my morning walks by that place and around the the erin mills mall and rona building center pretty near every morning I was there.
Good thing I don't have a truck anymore......I would have probably filled it up at Rona....lol
Of course.....Maybe not this trip but someday when you're down in Mississauga I may just pop in for coffee. You're buying right?
And the Dem petri dish continues to grow its chaos.

Funny how the Democrats are responsible for shootings in Baltimore, but the Republicans aren't responsible for shootings in Charleston.
