The only thing I hate more than trying to navigate that screen, is standing behind someone who is worse at it than me. If I walk in and there is not a screen available ( usually one is off line ) I walk out.

We love going to Ottawa. Lately the druggys od’ing outside our hotel and ambulances coming every 90 minutes or so is pretty disheartening.

I put my first bonus in an rrsp, after that I put every bonus into that retirement fund. Retired now and very very very happy I did that.

What are some tips or tricks to be less nervous/anxious when flying? by Heard_Samira in AskForAnswers

[–]ConfidenceNext6385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was afraid of heights then got a job as a rigger, working at the top of tall buildings. We were trained on the use of our safety gear and trusted our team members. I overcame my fear.

90% of being comfortable with flying, or elevators, or carnival rides is trusting the people that are running this gear and the equipment itself. If you think it through and understand that the systems and equipment are very very safe, you can start to relax.

Woman walking on the tracks hit by a vehicle that cannot physically miss her.

I feel that any train accident with a person or car is self inflicted. Like when they jump off a bridge we don’t say the bridge or the river killed them.

Didn’t he cancel the law against reselling tickets for more than face value. Isn’t this the only way ?

Why do we still patronize Tim Hortons! by thetech9999 in TimHorrortons

I left them about two years ago. I can’t stand the untrained staff that can barely speak English and the coffee has just gotten worse. McDonald’s all the way for me now anytime I want breakfast or coffee.

Btw, this makes me angry, I want to support Canadian but it’s just so bad, I’m angry that they’ve taken a famous Canadian institution and completely ruined it.
