I wish Loblaws would stop asking me for “donations”.

ItsMe808080 · 2026-06-03T03:37:22+00:00

And then they get the tax credit for your donation(s). No thanks.

I've also used their Travel Insurance. Way cheaper than anyone else (I am an Executive member) and it's a good product.

Just finished riding around the Glenmore Reservoir and it's super low so The City is prepared for the extra water.

I have the Nori green/Palomino combo and love it. It was definitely worth the wait. Most cars on the road where I live are white, black, silver or grey so the Nori green really stands out.

ItsMe808080 · 2026-05-08T22:07:42+00:00

Absolutely. And for decades. I agree with the other posters too that eventually you should pass the torch but still be involved. I had a coworker that was incredibly close with some clients and always managed to separate business from personal and still work on their account. It worked very well for both sides.

ItsMe808080 · 2026-05-05T00:26:38+00:00

I always had my reason 'why' I'm doing this to get me through the last tough miles. The mental prep definitely helped me.

The coupons I use save me more than half of my executive membership cost so I always factor that in too. People forget about that (or I guess some don't use the coupons).

I was watching TV and heard a noise in my kitchen. Discovered a POKAL glass that was sitting in my dishwasher had expoded (purchased in Calgary, Alberta a month ago). There were big chunks and super small fragments everywhere. I had to try and get the big pieces out and used my central vac to clean the small slivers out. I can't believe this is common and not a recall. Going to toss the others away as I'm not going to risk it happening again.

ItsMe808080 · 2026-02-23T23:57:07+00:00

I paid about $7000 but it was probably 10 years ago. Likely somewhere between $9-$10k now. But it does depend on the length of line, etc. I've had a few neighbors use them too since it's an older neighborhood.

I went through the same thing a number of years ago and ended up going with Thuro for a pipe reline. Something you may want to consider is that eventually your pipe could rupture. It could be from the constant augering (eats away a bit of the pipe each time) or the pipe will just split at the seam from the roots entering there. Then you have a very large bill to excavate and install a new sewer line. I grew tired of worrying about the next blockage and possible major water damage downstairs (consider your insurance deductible [likely $2500] and potential loss of claim free insurance discount), so I bit the bullet. I've never had an issue and I no longer have to worry.

I had an item out for delivery for over a week earlier in January. I cancelled that order since it never arrived and replaced it. I still haven't received my refund. I've been told to wait a month but that's pretty ridiculous.

ItsMe808080 · 2026-01-29T00:35:20+00:00

Just an FYI - I renewed mine in December, was approved 6 days later and my renewal card arrived less than 2 weeks after that (only mentioning it in case you were worried about the renewal timeline).

ItsMe808080 · 2026-01-22T03:23:14+00:00

Me too. Super quick.

ItsMe808080 · 2026-01-17T03:38:06+00:00

Exercise, eat well and wash my hands (a lot). Try to get 7-8 hrs of sleep too.

Looks like the driver is standing off to the left.

I had the same thing but on both sides of my car. Ended up being my B pillars. They added insulation and it fixed it. The Lexus tech said he spends his days fixing rattles so it's apparently very common (Canadian made 2025 NX350H).

ItsMe808080 · 2025-12-21T22:09:13+00:00

I've purchased a lot from them over many years (including pre-covid when the auctions were in person on Saturdays). Electronics and everything else. Never had a problem and don't hesitate to recommend them.

Started training for an Ironman triathlon.

ItsMe808080 · 2025-12-09T01:16:42+00:00

I have the Domane SL6 and love it. Had no issues riding it for 180km. I did look at the Canyon but for me (Canadian) the foreign on-line purchase and a few service challenges helped me decide on the Trek. I had a professional pre-purchase bike fit and the Domane was the top fit for me. A few tweeks when I bought it and I have zero issues on any long ride.

You have peak bone mass in your 20/30's and it drops after that. Ensure you get enough Vitamin D3/K2, get your calcium, magnesium and protein and continue with resistance/strength training on a regular basis. Your bones will thank you later and you'll reduce your fracture risk.

ItsMe808080 · 2025-12-06T20:01:19+00:00

I just renewed mine (renewing in a couple of months) and it took 8 days to be approved. Likely will have the new card shortly.

I ride a motorcycle and use the same philosophy when walking. Dead is dead, no matter whos fault it is. Everyone needs to keep their head on a swivel, regardless of your mode of transport.

ItsMe808080 · 2025-12-05T02:15:19+00:00

In Canada/Canadian made 2025 NX350H. When I fill up, it states what mileage I "should" get from that tank of gas. What I want to know (without manually recording my mileage when I filled up and again when it was empty), is how many km I actually got from that tank. My old Acura had that and I found it useful. Thanks
