iBeaver 409 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 were you guys able to play sports, be active during the therapy times? im trying to figure out whats my best timeline in my life to get surgery.... No. I wasn't allowed to lift even 20lbs higher than shoulder height for quite sometime. After therapy I was good. Played soccer and hockey. Link to post Share on other sites

FCP Bob 1,311 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 as much I didn't think Rob Ford was a good Mayor i don't wish cancer on anybody. It sounds like things are going badly for him. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Prayers are with the Ford family. While he was ridiculed and treated by some as a clown, the man had serious personal issues and I'm sure even his opponents wish him the best. Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Hey Zach, what do you know about the Hovenring? I don't know much about it but it might be cool in Toronto. https://hovenring.com Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 I know it exists. And that is all. I didn't know it had a name. It seems to be a ridiculous overbuild, but perhaps cyclist volumes warranted full grade separation... it's definitely possible in the Netherlands. We're a long, long, long, long way from needing something like that here. Especially considering that kind of thing is rather suburban... our suburban bike mode share is so tiny because of how poorly we've used land and designed our transportation systems. It'll take a long, long, long, long time before our suburbs are so hospitable to cyclists that we need to grade separate intersections. The way cycling is such a lifestyle over there, even the suburbs have high cycling mode share. They cities also doesn't sprawl as much as over here, so less distance to cover. Cycling to work downtown from a suburb isn't a crazy idea there. Plus they've got safe, separated infrastructure covering the entire city, about as ubiquitously as roads here. Here's rush hour in Amsterdam, for context: Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Reading all the stuff regarding Rob Ford, took me back to that tumultuous time in Toronto when all the stuff was breaking. I dont think its a surprise that I was always a Ford supporter...I used to be bashed for that , mostly in here not in real life...I think he did a lot of good for the city...His passion and love for Toronto were unmatched. His love and support for Toronto sports were always appreciated by me. Its always sad when a 46 year old is taken away from this world, but I think the last few years of his life were very tragic. He had a lot of demons, issues that I am not sure were all dealt with. Drugs and alcohol ruin a lot of lives, and in Mayor Ford's case that was probably very true. In the end though he couldnt beat the one thing that has taken a lot away from us that have been there. RIP Mayor Ford..We will always remember the good times you brought to the wonderful city of Toronto. Link to post Share on other sites

gruven 530 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I agree. No one should die at 46. Or from cancer. And, tbh, maybe rob Ford could have kicked everything and beat cancer and written a story that would have been remarkable. Sad that he didn't get that chance. And yes, I will say this about Ford: he always thought he was doing what was right for the city, and he worked harder than most of the rest of council combined. But he was still a joke as a mayor, and did virtually nothing redeeming for the city in the big picture. He was in miles over his head as mayor, and should have stayed in his niche as councillor. He was also a racist, homophobic bully. Link to post Share on other sites
pezeveng 207 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Haven't been to a barber in years as I always shave my head. My hair was a big grey mess so I thought let me go to a barber and get a style. Went to the neighbourhood barber shop on Eglington West. Yes the type of place that's open till 2 am and just plays reggae all day long. Asked the guy "just trim the back and sides, get rid of that crap on my neck and leave the top alone." "Ya bro no problem mon" This is what he basically did. So now I look like Frankenstein, with a perfect line across and down. Link to post Share on other sites
