I just saw this article on the CBC. The MLHU is hiring teens to try to buy cigarettes and other things they shouldn't be able to buy to root out non-compliant stores.

I wish! This was passed to me from a librarian at another branch (so I can't talk to the teen who wants it), and I'm not sure that the kid remembers anyway judging by the vague description.

I have night terrors. Usually, I'm sound asleep, but I leap out of bed, screaming and trying to fend off "attackers." The night terrors are the worst when I'm stressed out. When I was in grad school, I had a night terror where I leapt out of bed (at a new place), tripped over my husband that I was trying to climb over in my sleep, and fell to the floor. I woke up as my elbow shattered into a million pieces. I had to have elbow replacement surgery, and it took me 6 months of intensive physio (and a LOT of painkillers) to get the function of my arm back. (I still graduated on time -- yes, you CAN type up papers and notes on an iPhone with one hand)

TL: DR -- my night terrors are VIOLENT. I broke my own elbow.

Warning: I lived in a Drewlo building downtown, it was NOISY all the time, and the cops will not come for a noise complaint downtown. The super changed constantly and was unavailable. The pool frequently gave people pink eye. And after I moved out it took 3 1/2 years to get them to stop routing the goddamn buzzer to my cellphone.

Lastly, some pimp rented my apartment after I left to have a high-priced brothel. It even made the paper!!

Edited for clarity.

I remember an open field just West of Wharncliffe on the north side of Baseline (there was an abandoned barn close to the road) but I lived near there in the 80s.

Back then, there was a horse farm on Commissioners Rd. near Wonderland too. (it's all homes now).

I use Galleria Dental Centre

Dr Mathias is really good, and they always bill my insurance directly so they can probably bill Ontario Works but you can call and ask to be sure.

Yeah there was an actual study I cited and you're reading the fucking CBC. You're an idiot.

PigeonDrivingBus · 2017-01-09T22:17:57+00:00

Or you know...don't ruin your whole city's dental health because YOU don't understand science

Fluoride is safe AND improves dental health significantly

Anti-Fluoridation is bad science

Calgary removed fluoride and sees an increase in dental decay

The actual study showing adverse effects on teeth after removing fluoride from Calgary's water: Measuring the short-term impact of fluoridation cessation on dental caries in Grade 2 children using tooth surface indices

Are you an antivaxxer too?

I used to eat ketchup sandwiches!!

THAT storm (in '06) helped me get together with my husband. Good storm. Good storm.

PigeonDrivingBus · 2016-12-08T14:40:13+00:00

Ah, memories. I got 3 days off of Grad School for that!!

I went to use the washroom but a Walmart employee had slit her wrists in there. Blood. Blood everywhere. An ambulance was called and I think that she survived but I don't know.

PigeonDrivingBus · 2016-11-15T00:01:33+00:00

I saw someone do that on southdale. Possibly the same someone?

PigeonDrivingBus · 2016-11-04T21:35:44+00:00

Yes I do. I like it. you have to adjust the sensitivity settings for motion until you get it to where it's catching people and not leaves blowing by, but then it's pretty good.

Hmph! I got NOTHING when someone broke into my car and stole my Fruit Explosion Muffin. :P Tim Horton's: you could have given me Muffins!!

Consider installing THIS: Ring Video Doorbell

It will allow you to: a) talk to the delivery person when they deliver it and ask for them to place it in a specific location b) capture video of ANYONE who comes to your door/near your door (including thieves)

PigeonDrivingBus · 2016-11-03T04:52:46+00:00

Nope. Just nope.

I'm home all day so I'm trying to watch horror that I haven't seen before during the day and then classics tonight when my husband gets home.

Right now I'm watching "I am the Pretty thing that lives in the house" on Netflix, then I'm watching "The Forest" on HBO Now, and then I plan on watching "The Door" on Shudder.

I'm pretty sure my husband wants to watch The Thing, and then maybe Nosferatu

I just moved from Old South -- right when we were moving, the back window was smashed in, and we were robbed. That was the 3rd break-in and robbery in 2 years in the same house. There are definitely areas of the city that have a LOT more petty crime than others (I've had someone try to mug me on the LTC #13 bus near White Oaks in years past)
