Shaddup, Mountain Boy.It's nice to live on the main route south for the GTA snowbirds.
It's Tim's and BK now.
You and your Maple syrup eatin', figure-skatin', Moose riding, skunky-beer drinkin', double trouble, Neil Diamond wardrobe wearin' hosers can take off, eh!

So! I just got informed by our General Manager that our owner has decided that we'll begin airing college basketball games next week.
Not that we've actually done any of the paperwork or technical work or arranged for board operators or anything else besides him deciding he wants the sales team to start selling sponsorship packages on tuesday.
We JUST got done with football, god dammit. I thought I was through with this shit until march.

You're just trying to make an excuse to get out of Halforums game night like everyone else!

Gawd, It hits me way too emotionally when people are hungry. I'm some kind of non- racist, non-diabetic Paula Deen. Know that if we were 'same city' friends, I'd be driving towards you right now with a Rubbermaid container filled with goodness.

Ha ha ha.. I appreciate it. I'm probably going to just hit a drive thru on the way home. I'm getting close to done here. You'll know I'm done when I fire off the usual friday-signal.
And put a coat on!
I want to be your neighbour. I have never before wanted to be someone's neighbour.
Because the brokers are lying to you to create an imaginary bedding war??
Rant:
Saw Star Wars as a family last night.
Our daughter ditches us to sit with her friend.
And then.
She.
SHE!!!!
SHE DEVELOPS A CRUSH ON KYLO REN!

This morning: Try to bake some cinnamon rolls. The oven we bought lass than a year ago (thankfully still under warranty) decides it doesn't want to start.
This afternoon: The mail comes and with it is a $500 deposit check for a gig I'm doing in April.
So I guess if we do end up having to pay I have the money for it. This will be the first test of the warranty for this company and it's about 10 days away from the warranty being gone, so I hope they don't try and drag it out to go past the date.

Turns out there were 3 friggin bids on this house. We didn't win. This is the first house I've really been interested in in this neighborhood, too, so this sucks. Seriously 4 gazillion houses on the market in this neighborhood, many for months now and we choose the one that everyone else wanted too.
Well, you didn't bid on any of those other houses either, so clearly something about that one was more attractive. Still sucks, though.
Probably because it was either on for a great price, or because it genuinely was the better house? There's no doubt a reason why you liked this specific house over those other hundreds. Sometimes that can be a personal thing that won't affect others (there's beech trees in the yard and I really love beeches! or whatever), but if it's something that most people will appreciate (spacious living room, modern windows, good natural light, whatever), it makes sense for such a house to be more popular (or more expensive).
Still, bummer.
