Some lighthearted talk here plus this will make sure that I can read this again sometime as it's a good story, at least for me. If it wasnt for posting all those apartment stories I would forget almos

Danny.... Thats a great attitude to have, and you will be amazed at the progress Owen can make with that kind of attitude and persistence on your part. On Feb 4, 2003, the diagnosis I got was that

The Fyre Doc is a must see. The power of social media is insane. I think they said they paid Kylie Jenner $200k for one post? It’s unbelievable.

I went through a Black Mirror phase a few months ago, loved it.

Still havent seen Bandersnatch?....gotta get around to it, hopefully this weekend.

 

 

RE: GOT...after I had shoulder surg in Jan 2018, I finally started watching Game of Thrones. Went thru like 6 seasons in 3 weeks or something, crazy stupid. Too much free time! I was dreaming GOT stuff at night. lol

I think Im one season behind still though, I forced myself to stop then so I could get back into it this year just before the new season started

the whole social media influencer thing is pretty amazing but I guess there is value in reaching eyeballs

Bandersnatch is really weird. Just watched it this week, not really sure what to think of it.

I just finished watching it. I'm thinking the exact same thing.....there were definitely moments of classic Black Mirror/this is so cool....but Im also left a little dizzy by it all.

Happy new year.

 

So, its bad luck to be a Pig year born, during this upcoming year?

Thats what my wife keeps telling me, is she right?

 

I have no idea. I only know that being a Dragon is considered the most desirable and I'm a Dragon. I also know that two Dragons aren't considered a good match and my ex-wife is also a Dragon which I guess proves the point since we're now ex's.

Last week, the Ontario govt put out a new policy on Autism funding.

Of all the people I've been reading thoughts from on this recent development for the autism community, Elliott Friedman put it best.

 

If you live in Ontario, please please believe this has nothing to do with politics. This is all about kids, their future. and the future well being of this province.

If nothing else makes you want to help these kids now, you best believe the cost will be so much greater later than it is today if we dont help them learn and become at least a little independent.

 

Please see thought #31

Couldn’t agree more. This issue he is dead on. Like how is this even a political issue. It’s sad to see.

 

Re Friedman. I listen to the podcast. He has some good arguments and info but the last few years he has changed. He comes across as cocky and a know it all.

Help me! I need new all-season tires for my grand caravan. 225/65R17. I have no idea where to even start. My van is 6 years old but hopefully has a few years left. I’ve been told

Costco is cheapest...don’t have a membership but could likely get friend/family to take me.

 

Am I better off at a chain (which one?) or local place? Any brand to go for or stay away from? What price range should I be looking at for a mid-quality set?
