    Seen a red breasted robin

    Nine years ago, and sorry for the commercial, but the guy is paid $30K for the work. Nice if you can get it.

    Went to see a house way north. Been on the market 6 months. Liked what I saw, put an offer in for 90% of asking cause, you know, 6 months and no takers. Heard back that they have had an offer $15K over asking. Ya right. Was asked if I want to change my offer. Yup, instead of 10 days, I'll give...

    Help to choose next Language to learn

    Last time in Europe, the one guy that spoke French saved us a few times. If I were to start traveling Europe again, learning French would be high on my list.

    North Scarborough. K-8 had gangs?? Didn't say it was amazing, or better, just different. Couldn't use TTC after 6 PM or Sundays, no service, we were stuck in Neverville.

    Grade 10 was a cornucopia of Catholic girls wanting to prove how bad-ass they could be. Good times.

    Back in the 60's when I was in school, not much violence when the strap was a possibility. No strap now and a lot more violence in schools. :unsure::unsure:

    Has the city lost it's mind...

    In the 9 years (K-8) that I spent in school I only recall the strap being given 6 times. Two to me, once to a brother. Then when we got home, strap again from mom. It's not so much the use, just the threat was enough to keep you on the straight and narrow.
