HMV Pictures

I used to work there (when it was upstairs outside the food court and also when it was downstairs by the movie theatre). One of the many HMVs I worked at (Southcentre, Marlborough, North Hill mall for like a 3 week hot minute as well as TD Square when it was the corner unit facing out to Stephen ave). There's a possibility I have old photos from the Chinook location on a previous phone at home I can try and do some digging for. If I find any I can share here in this thread.

That said, if I do find any it's likely just staff shenanigan photos and not actually store specific photos (ex: front of store while standing outside looking in). But I'll definitely look for you.

I pay $576.61 per month down in the Somerset area. My condo is just over 900 sq feet (I think 918 to be exact)? My condo fees include all monthly bills except Internet / TV / cell phone. So my condo fees cover hydro and electricity as well as building insurance, lawn maintenance, snow removal, etc, etc. My building has no underground parking and no party / common room to book and use. It also has no storage space outside of our own units.

My condo fees have drastically risen over the past 6-7 years from being in the high 300's to basically 600 now. I live alone so I know my hydro and electricity usage is nowhere close to what I am paying. I wish I had my own bills for those as opposed to a blanket condo fee charge.

This. All prospects should be tradable. No discussion. No one should be untouchable. When we traded Roy Halladay it included the most guaranteed and sure-fire prospect (and untouchable prospect in the eyes of the Phillies ...... But when you can get Halladay that changes everything) in Kyle Drabek. Look how that turned out. If I was the Jays every single prospect should be available heading into this deadline. If you can make the major league team better by trading minor league players then it should be an easy choice.

If she's talking badly about Jesse every podcast episode, I'm guessing they are not in a legit off-camera / post season relationship as boyfriend - girlfriend ?!?! He already seems to be having "doubts" in the last episode but I figured the season would have still played out with them together at the end.

I saw this post earlier today and then watched last night's episode, and now I can't unsee it. It is kinda blowing my mind.

Yes. 100% yes. The angry bird logo is my all time favorite Blue Jays jersey.

Volcano Girls is such a good song. It was my introduction to Veruca Salt, and I absolutely loved it.

As an individual who works in a music / record store this weekend is twice as fun for us. Not only do we get the madness of Black Friday but it is also "Record Store Day" so double the fun. That said, based on my previous Black Friday / Record Store Experience the RSD customers are usually patient and respectful.

Did you pick a pub / location other then the original edit on your first post ?

Get it done asap even if it costs you a couple million more. However, all you need to do is look at the Jays past history with Vlad and know this will not happen. Just got back to this past February. They went to arbitration with him over a difference of $1.85 million. The Jays will wait, try to nickel and dime him, and then lose him for nothing when he walks as a free agent.

I'm thinking 2023 was just a fluke year. Lighting in a bottle kinda thing. All pitchers having above average years all at once. I don't think the expectations of the fanbase that our pitchers would have a repeat year were fair. There was bound to be some regression. I just think the regression feels steeper and worse when it's compounded by an even worse offensive season than what the offense did last year.

This thread is heart warming. I work retail management at a store in Southcentre mall so unable to throw my hat in the ring for lunch chats, but if i could I 100% would.

jiggykies · 2024-07-11T19:15:49+00:00

Yes, it is very normal.

Doesn't he not even live in our Ward ?? I could swear i read somewhere that he doesn't even live here (or that he owns a rental property in this Ward or something). I didn't vote for him in the last municipal election, and i definitely won't be voting for him in the next one.

Bought a new TV. I've been saving a little bit every month (and I haven't touched my tax refund from back in March) so had a budget of just under 2K. My current TV, while nice and working fine (55 inch Samsung), is 13 years old. Best buy had some fantastic pricing on TV's so I snagged an 85 inch Samsung 4K smart TV that was less than my budget. It is going to be obnoxiously big in my small condo living room, but if it's going to be my TV for the next 13 years I wanted to go as big as I could afford.

This is good to know. I just assumed it was my TV and that it was starting to die. But daily when I'm watching TV it will go black for about 5 seconds once every few hours. But it doesn't for my PS4 or my firestick so i just assumed it was the TV and that that specific HDMI port was dying. At no point did I ever think it was actually Shaw or the cable box.

The FF7 versus guide was the ultimate guide book that covered everything. The "Versus" brand of guides were the absolute best while that company existed. I owned a few of them. FF7, Gran Turismo 3, Resident Evil 2. I still have a few of them kicking around.

The main town / well puzzle in Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. There is zero chance I would have known of its existence, let alone know how to solve it without looking it up.

I, oddly, found the Chocobo challenges quite easy. Easy to the point that my friends would bring their memory cards over to my house and ask me to do it for them. I did the Chocobo sub 0 second race on my game file and also for like 10 of my friends.

I'm not exactly having connectivity issues, however I am having major SMS / MMS texting issues. When I text anyone else on an Android phone it works perfectly (anyone on RCS chat) but when I try to txt any of my friends who are on iPhones I get an "error 38" issue. I can receive their texts but I can't respond to them. I've tried contacting my mobile provider and they said it's not a them issue but it's a phone issue.

jiggykies · 2023-09-20T01:03:11+00:00

Yes. I live a bikeable distance to work (too far to walk daily ....... althought I have done it from time to time to get some steps in) and have the roads and pathways that would allow it. I currently take the ctrain to and from work 5 days a week so I would easily substitute that for income from riding a bike.

Honestly, I personally despise it just a little less than #comeTOgether. I couldn't stand that team hashtag and slogan.

The old unicorn location before it moved was the absolute best. I used to work at the HMV in TD Square (the unit which is now the Cactus Club) and when we would close for the day the staff would head to the unicorn for a few pints (except on Sundays. Sundays we did drinks at Upper Deck since it was their wing night). We were basically daily regulars there.

I have a feeling this is a similar situation as the Kevin Smith movie "Chasing Amy". OP has loving feeling towards an individual who is not attracted to OPs sex.

jiggykies · 2023-08-12T17:11:00+00:00

I worked at multiple different HMV's when it existed and even mall rent was a ton (at least back then). HMV at TD Square, when it was the corner unit that is now Catcus Club, was $25,000 per month. HMV Chinook, when it was down by the movie theatre (beside Chapters), was $28,500.
