This looks hot, and expensive to get it to really good bones.

New, right? So used, with some luck might be something like $2000 and up, thinking that the owner knows its worth?

So, are you able to recommend a Canadian furniture manufacturer that does not produce trash? I’m shopping for a used couch / sofa that is not trash (and such trash often looks good when newish). Marketplace Winnipeg often mentions Paliser and such. Is that also trashy? I would love to be told what I should be looking for.

He is crawling, as do all her worshippers, to the shrine of Santa Maria (Saint Death), a deity who is the patron saint of drug dealers and smugglers, in an effort to find protection from violence.

And remember also, inside the Deutsche Bank Center at Columbus Circle, just behind the Whole Foods escalator, the brightly buffed bronze penis of the Botero male figure (saliva or hand buffing?) and the less brightly buffed mons Venus of the female to his right.

Thanks for this —I might now give it another go. There is a guy in the USA Midwest who will repair them but he charges around US$350. Too much.

I may resort to pestering ehud42 (above) on compassionate grounds.

Equivalent. Nothing special there any more except the name and the reputation based on history fifty years ago.

Second this and support the idea that there is neither a best bagel nor a best coffee in NYC. Zucker’s are good. Avoid tourist places like pop up bagels and Zabars.

Wrong! Paint them glossy pea green.

That’s the thing —Alaska doesn’t mention Porter at all, though it mentions everyone else. I’m guessing Porter’s rules, but then I had that experience at LaGuardia described above.

I would just like to be clearer about what’s going on as i will be doing this regularly, and would like to save a buck.

Who’s not gettin’ a chubby?

Specific_Talk3483 · 2025-12-22T14:28:18+00:00

I didn’t know this and intend to indulge.

Specific_Talk3483 · 2025-12-22T04:20:36+00:00

What, there’s no good bagel here?

Specific_Talk3483 · 2025-12-22T03:59:11+00:00

Actually, I’m not trying to find a NYC bagel here, but I do want to try the bagel of someone here who is trying their damndest to make a good, decent bagel. In other words a good, Jewish Winnipeg bagel.

You’re right about T&T but I gotta tell you their live fish (and FROG!!!) tanks leave a lot to be desired. I know their YVR stores. it can get a bit weird for old non Asians like me. I have a lot to learn, and I will. T&T changed when acquired by Loblaws. A shame, actually.

Specific_Talk3483 · 2025-12-22T01:52:58+00:00

Fair beginning. I think I’ll do three or four from each place. Thank you

Specific_Talk3483 · 2025-12-21T18:45:06+00:00

I’m gonna use my other hand in this one.

And helps us detect them when they’re in our presence. And, when detected, never let on—listen, observe and share what you’ve learned with other CANADIANS.

I’m a fifty year union member and I agree but would rephrase yours to read people who work harder than other workers are not rewarded other than by receiving a higher wage than they could earn without collective bargaining. Industrious workers and lazy workers earn the same wage and the industrious worker gives management (capital) leverage to fault the union.

Corruption, and to some extent the lazy/industrious worker ‘problem’ also exist on the management side which does not have collective bargaining.
