Goodbye Old House, I’ll Miss You….A Little

Well, I’ve pissed and moaned about my house a lot lately. But now that it’s almost time to say goodbye to it, it makes me think of all the little things I’ll miss about living there. I’ll miss the guys at the little store down the street, who, at first, could barely understand me, but …

That’s What Happens When You’re Too Small.

Ok, I hate doing whiny posts like this, but I’m frustrated. Today, on my way home, I got to a street that I had to cross. I cross it all the time. So I’m standing there. When it seemed like the light had turned and it was time to go, I was about to step …

Another Reason Not to Live in the UK.

Read this, and tell me one good purpose it serves. Apparently, in the UK, there is such a backlog of court cases that the penalty for several serious offenses ranging from burglary to sex with children has been reduced to sending these assholes home with a caution. This means they have a criminal record, but …

One More Mountain to Climb? Or Maybe Not.

If You’re Going to Run from the Cops, Do It in the UK.

Wow. Why can’t we find a middle ground? The American government wants to take away *everyone’s* privacy, but in the UK, even a fugitive’s privacy is considered sacred. They won’t put up wanted posters with their names and faces on them because, boohoohoohoo, they might sue! So only live in the UK if you want …

How was Everyone’s Holiday?

So, how was everyone’s holiday? Did the weather suck everywhere? I heard yesterday it was haling in Kingston and snowing in Toronto! *puke* Not what I wanted to hear! That is not supposed to be the weather on the May long weekend! My holiday was pretty boring, but I liked it that way. After running …

What? Listening? On a Phone?

Here’s something that always puzzles me. Tell me something. If you’re looking for Nick Smith, you call what’s supposed to be Nick Smith’s number and you get an answering machine that says, “Hello. Thank you for calling Bob Jones. Leave a message.” What would you do? Would you just continue leaving a big message for …
