I think we all know this experience. You pick up the phone, say hello, and a second later, you get blasted by the sound of a boat horn. Then a voice says you’ve won a cruise and all you have to do is do a survey…at which point, hopefully you hang up because you think …

Trix Pics
Woo! Trix pictures! Woo! I’ve had these pictures for months, and have meant to put them up. But the process of putting them up, for me at least, is a bit laborious, and as I’ve said repeatedly, laborious processes and the captain don’t mix too well. Then I headed back to work and got busy, …
Is Anita Clue Here? No?
This is the first thing I’ll be posting since the big blog overhaul…and I had to go and post something juvenile like This Toronto Board of Health guy getting pranked. But it made me laugh…and I can’t figure out what the last fake name is that he reads out. It’s something like I’m a moron, …
May Leonard Nimoy’s Memory Live Long
Soundtrack time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C70QRbawN8 I know the whole world knows this by now but I might as well join the chorus of those saying goodbye to Leonard Nimoy.

I’m An Aunt!
I don’t know why I didn’t write about this last week when it happened, but better late than never. Last Friday, Friday the 13th, I became an aunt. Yup, my brother and his wife are now the proud parents of an adorable little boy. I don’t have his picture, although it’s up on Facebook, I …
From Dream Home To Nightmare
Steve said he got this from Michelle, but it looked like one I’d want to post. After getting rid of all the shivers, I agreed. This Kathy Rowe woman is like the worst combination of Philip Conran and Jennifer Petkov. It all started when a young couple outbid her on a home she really really …
Talk About A Behavioural Interview
Oops. Let’s hope this never happens to me. Guy is on the train in London. Someone’s in his way. He pushes and shoves him and tells him to go screw himself. He discovers he just swore at his interviewer. for whatever reason, he didn’t get the job. If that were me, and I figured out …
The Mysterious Phrases Of Frazey Ford
I have this song in my head, a lot, and it’s a not bad tune. The only weird thing is her voice sounds like what would happen if you gave a squirrel the powers of speech, but hey, her voice is growing on me. The problem is I really don’t know what it’s saying. We …
Great Gobs Of Tansy Updates, Part III
Here is my last batch of Tansy observations, these are things I noticed she learned while I was dealing with the captain. Here was a sad pattern that I noticed Tansy would pick up on. Before I was ill, as soon as I would finish brushing my teeth, she would go nuts. This was because …
