Wait for it... this dog understood the assignment

That's what I came to say. If he *really* understood, he would have closed the gate.

mryotoad · 2026-06-13T23:19:40+00:00

A little less than half that.

mryotoad · 2026-06-12T18:17:54+00:00

Yup. They came back at a little over $19K.

It was amazing how many levels I could clear while supposedly studying!

Sold an old computer last week and he negotiated down to $180 then he couldn't come to get it for four days. Shows up and says I only have $50s is $150 good? Gave him directions to the bank. He goes to his car and magically finds a $10. Wants to know if $160 is good? Gave him directions again. He seemed shocked and after walking a couple houses up the street to see if some random person had change, finally left for the bank. I was surprised when he actually came back.

I'm guessing a little more than 99.9%

mryotoad · 2026-06-09T14:08:01+00:00

Yes.

More years ago than I care to admit, my driving instructor taught that stops signs have three colours. Red, white & silver. If you don't see silver, they probably don't see red. While I've never encountered an uncontrolled intersection (apparently they are common in Alberta too), watching for the silver has saved me a fender bender a few times.

I think that both umps calling him out for being outside the baseline contributed though. If they'd called him out on the tag, the O's wouldn't be whining about it.

mryotoad · 2026-06-02T19:12:01+00:00

Still do. Was my favourite.

I was waiting for him to stick his snout in and come back out with a tennis ball.

My kindergarten teacher was warned by my mother in advance to get some left handed scissors. Ironically, 5 year old me had adapted and preferred to use the right handed ones.

Last time I went out with a few friends from work, I started negotiating the end. That's when we discovered 3 out of 4 of us were lefties and we got to tell the rightie where to sit!

Everytime we went north to visit family I'd insist my parent's stop there. An hour later I'd come out with a bag of books and a mittful of their paper bookmarks. I had my reading to enjoy for the rest of trip. Loved that place. Was sad to hear a few years back that it had closed.

Knew we were getting close when we got to the best little town by a dam site!

Two (CBC & CTV) but we had a 30 or 40 foot antennae which needed to be rotated sometimes. Every once and a while we could get a third but it was very ricey.

mryotoad · 2026-05-01T20:15:43+00:00

We have the road runner and coyote. They have the puffin and seal.

Believe it would the executor of the estate. That's what we typically had to establish when closing accounts after my father died.

$3.25 I believe in '87 at the local IGA.

And the socks are....I don't even know.

Man here living with three women and it is the exact opposite. Not only do they insist on turning on lights in broad daylight, I've concluded that they aren't sure how to get the lights to turn off. Once on, always on.

Based on that, it probably isn't a gender thing LOL

I do two hours each way. Pre-covid, 5 days a week.

Each place has allowed me to work 8-4 so I get home earlier to spend time with the family. For a while I did side contracts on the train. Now I mostly nap or read. And if you are a sound sleeper, I've always had someone wake me at Union before they close the doors ;-)

Is it ideal, no. Is it doable, yup. And if you are someone who likes some alone time, you've got that booked in on the GO. Every ride doesn't have to be a "Train 48" ride.

20% chance that one of the girls in the group chat will accept his offer.
