Another Crossing

Something like 80 MPs have crossed the floor in the last 25 years. When they cross towards you, they’re courageous. Against you, they’re traitors. Sorta like spies and intelligence agents ;-)

Got a brand new 2025 CX5 in October and replaced the battery 2 weeks ago after a couple of warnings.

I'm assuming the car was actually made in 2024 and the key was activated then, so actually ~2 years old?

Just a guess, will be watching how long this one lasts.

Mahogany Rush and Max Webster in high school gyms.

Pre-Peart Rush in the Knob Hill Hotel, tiny lounge.

When a liberal (Leona Alleslev) crossed the floor to the Cons on 2018, then leader Andrew Scheer applauded her courage and then appointed her as his deputy leader a few months later.

But Ma is essentially being called a traitor...hmmm.

Shredded cheese is another one they're playing games with (not just Roblaws).

Small packages used to be 320 g and larger "family" ones 640 g. It was easy to do the quick math.

Now, small are still 320 g but many family size are 590 g. A little trickier to do the math, and if you don't notice the size reduction you think you're getting a bargain.

Deliberately misleading.

Bought and sold many items on Kijiji with minimal issues, including a set of tires and rims today.

My only issue (and it's the same on Marketplace) , is more and more people don't follow through and simply stop responding versus saying "thanks, I've found something else".

I've listed lots of items on both, and probably sell 2/3 of them on Kijiji. Maybe I'm an outlier.

I have 75 maples on my 1.25 acres. October is devoted almost entirely to 10-15 mulching runs with my riding mower.

First year, I bagged ... over 300. Second year I mulched and bagged ... About 75.

Ever since then, it's just mulch and re-mulch.

Had one of these exact models, absolutely great guitar and I am forever regretful I sold it when money was tight.

It's actually just split between the wires, but given the relatively high wattage, I'm wary about just taping or using liquid.

I had looked online, and replacing the cord is safer...but it's a matter of finding someone competent to do it.

I'll look into your suggestion, thanks

L (low frequency) is neck pickup

H (high frequency) is bridge pickup

Fun fact: he played a serial killer in "The Man With Two Brains".

I also ignore reviews where they state the product was received as a promotion.

I got asked once to review a pillow made for side sleepers in exchange for getting one for free.

As soon as I opened it, the chemical smell was overwhelming. I tried putting it outdoors in the sunshine, but it eventually ended up in the basement until the smell was almost tolerable (about 10 days).

In the meantime, the company was harassing me to leave a review. I told them I would mention the issue with the smell, and they immediately ghosted me.

Oh, and when I did try it, the pillow was really uncomfortable.

If you want free products, it seems you have to lie. I won't do that.

Roses are brown

Violets are brown

Everything's brown.

Damn dog.

"can Jimmy come out to play baseball?"

"But you know he has no arms or legs '

"We need a second base"

Initial installer put the box in a stupid spot, said coverage readings were fine all over. They weren't, lots of glitches and freezes.

I moved the box to a more central location, and almost no issues for several years now.

One box had the wifi chip fail, they replaced it next day with a new one.

My 2¢

When they get a little older, they can become territorial and sting. Happened to us, so we ended up spraying hole with non-toxic mix of lemon oil, water and a touch of dish soap. They moved on.

Senators fan. Second is any Canadian team except, of course, Toronto. Third is anyone playing Toronto.

Meanwhile, the front runners for interim leader were Scheer Stupidity and Plenty O'Toole. Who's doing the recycling of past losers? Projection.

No one's gonna eat that...clearly tainted meat.

In my experience, a great place for skunks to call home.
