I had some random thoughts, so figured I should heave them up here in no particular order. Although you’d never know it from today’s weather, which I want to see stay as long as possible, that bastard old man known as winter is going to show up and I’m not looking forward to it. When …

We’ll Take Less Care Of You
Airline ignored wheelchair requests, ordered senior to walk, family alleges I’d expect nothing less from British Airways. After all, they’re the same group of compassionate souls that onceforced a guy to sit next to a corpse for the better part of 9 hours and then told him to get over it when he complained. I’d …
The DO Not Call Site Does Not Work For blind Folks
So the Canadian do not call registry is alive and well. It had a, um, rocky start, because so many people slammed it at once that, well, both website and phone crashed under the high demand. What does that tell ya, telemarketers? But that isn’t the reason for this post. The reason is the registry …

So Close…but So Far!
How does a guy sit in the ER for 34 hours and die without being seen? Better still, how does a double amputee in a wheelchair not get noticed? How can the ER be so busy that when a guy asks a nurse to check on Brian Sinclair, the guy sitting in his wheelchair who …
Peaks And Valleys
Remember I said I wanted to rip apart a hotel? Let’s get rippin’! This weekend, my cousin got married. So, I came up to be there. The reception was going to be held at this place called the Calabogie Peaks Resort. So, being the sweethearts that mom and dad are, they booked a big suite …
Updates About Stuff And Stuff
Well, it’s time for a post full of ramblings about the mundane details of my life. Anyone who wants a nap could probably get one now. Grandma’s service last weekend was really amazing. The service itself was pretty ordinary, but it was all the feeling around it that made it so incredible. We showed up …
Random post time
There are two random posts coming: one non-dog, and one dog. Isn’t that scary? I have enough drivel to categorize it. Hmmm. Maybe it’s not as random as I thought. Let’s start with the non-dog stuff. For some unknown reason, I was thinking about that Raffi song “Oats and beans and Barley” (sorry, the song …
Rogerbils
I always knew the folks who worked the phones at Rogers were a bunch of zombies, but this pissed me off more than anything else. The other day, I got a call from a 1-800 number. I knew it was a telemarketer, but when a new number comes through, I like to pick it up …
Next Up, The Shocking Revelation That Drowning Puppies For Fun Is Looked Down Upon
People sometimes ask me “Steve, why are you so hard on the world?” And I say to those people “listen, if you can look at something such asthisas a cutting edge breakthrough for the medical profession then go right ahead, but I prefer to look at it as the utter pile of ignorant bullshit that …
Rogers Installation Software: You Control Your Internet, But We Control Your Computer
Excuse me while I geek out for a second. I had a friend who was having a weird problem. Every time she opened her Outlook Express, she would see a 404 page not found error. It said that the page /help/content/oeip.html could not be found from www.rogershelp.com. I thought this was pretty weird, and couldn’t …
