These stories…I’m seeing them everywhere. I’m sure they are just as prevalent as before, but now I feel like they’re fired at my brain like guided missiles. This creepoid apparently lured women to come meet him for what they thought was a job interview. He found them on Kijiji, and set up the interviews. But …

Now I’ve Got A Post About Trevor’s Little Song With Murray Foster
Yesterday I woke up with this in my head, and realized that it could serve as an inspiration for a post. A while ago, I heard about Trevor Strong, one of the Arrogant Worms, doing some stuff on his own. I heard a song, had a good chuckle, and then read that he was asking …

Poppy Talk
Well, this year, our attempts to get poppies were much less painful than last year. The bank across the street actually had them, so we didn’t have to go on a puppy hunt. But I still have a heck of a time not losing my poppy. There’s nothing worse than lum dee dumming down the …
Flash…Gordon?
Here comes a flasher, another boring old flasher. Driving up to pedestrians and showing off his shween. That would be the whole story, except he was using our old neighbourhood as a flashing ground! Eeeewwww. Seriously. We used to live right there. That was the street with our apartment building that had the big scary …
This Jian Ghomeshi Thing Has Been Bothering Me A Lot, And I Think I Know Why.
When this whole Jian Ghomeshi thing broke, I said to a friend, no matter how this shakes out, it’s not gonna end well for somebody.” Um, that would be a yup. Now I find that it won’t leave me alone, and it’s moved beyond anything rational, so I hope that maybe, if I write about …

Got Any Good Record-Keeping App Recommendations?
I guess I’ll start with something easy…I want to write something else, but I’m afraid it will steal every last ounce of energy Captain Nameless Illness has generously left me. So, whatever this illness is, it’s unpredictable and mysterious and we still don’t know what it is. So I’ve been keeping logs of as many …

PSW Does Not Stand For Pole Saves Woman
Because apparently I can’t seem to get away from creepy stories…here’s one for you that makes me want to punch things, starting with the rather absent support worker. A woman with an intellectual disability got on a Winnipeg bus with a support worker. The worker sat a few rows away, put on her headphones and …
Help Tim Raise Some Funds So He Can Raise up Some Heavy Things In Korea Next May!
I was just scrolling through Twitter, and I saw a tweet that says “Help Tim get to Korea.” It was retweeted by Blind Sports, so I thought maybe it’s our buddy Tim… … And it was! Tim has definitely starred in a few New Years party stories along the way. He’s a good guy and …

Opinions Needed On A Christmas Present
So…I need some guidance from folks with functioning eyeballs, or maybe someone who has owned one of these before. I asked Twitter, but nobody responded. I don’t know if it was because the tweet got lost in the shuffle or the image was so ugly that no one dared tell me so, but there it …
This Might Get Jian Gho-Messy…
Um, what a day yesterday. I’m scrolling through tweets…and…huh? Jian Ghomeshi? Fired? Huh? Suing the CBC? Huh? Where in the world did that come from? He was just taking some time off for personal reasons. And then Jian Ghomeshi put up his own statement saying why he thinks it happened, and…then things got interesting for …
