How to Date Someone Who’s Sober Without Making It a Thing Another person’s sobriety isn’t about you, so don’t turn it into a big deal. I’m not sure if I’m weird or if the rest of the world is, but I find it extremely odd that we need articles like this one. I enjoy drinking. …

The Real Murderer Is Right Under Your Nose, Officer
I’m surprised that I’ve only heard about this stunt once. Hopefully it won’t become a thing. Anti-vaxxers took to the streets of Birmingham city centre on Saturday. Some of the demonstrators felt so strongly about the jab, they decided to go the police about it ‘being given to children against their will’. Chief superintendent Steve …

Of Course They’ll Give Me The Money. They Know Me Here
I don’t know much about Fountain Valley, California. I don’t even think I had heard of it until just now. But if there’s one thing I do know about it, that thing is that it is the home of more than one bank. In fact, typing the words “Fountain Valley California bank” into Google like …

Battle Of The 5th Grade Classes
Gill has a wicked memory. We were in the same 5th grade class, but I only have a vague recollection of this. I remember the name of the charity and that we raised money for them one year, but anything beyond that, I’m out. When you were in elementary school, did you ever get in …
It’s Probably OK To Get A Flu Shot And A COVID Shot At The Same Time
File this one under good to know. It’s going to be especially handy if I’m right and we eventually move to an annual COVID vaccine to protect us from the mutation of the moment rather than running around like headless, planless chickens arbitrarily throwing boosters into people and hoping for the best. According to the …

This Is Good Wine…For Me To Poupon
Grey Poupon wine now exists Pretty sure I’m more ok with this development than I am with that Frosty cereal, honestly. No way in hell I’m plunking down the $30 it would take to buy a full bottle of the stuff, but if someone were to come up to me and say “sir, try a …
Blind People Don’t Play Games Or Support Charities, Apparently
Now and then I take a quick glance at the ads that appear on some of our pages. I figure it’s nice to have a sense of what’s being shilled on our behalf, plus if there’s anything scammy looking that people might need to be warned about I’ll be able to check into it. Google’s …

We Went And Did Stuff. I Hope We Get To Keep Doing That
Dear God! I’m in a theatre, doing normal people things! Hopefully it’s not the last time for a while. pic.twitter.com/ehaRc6jvzb — Steve Wettlaufer (@VC_Steve) December 16, 2021 I have no idea how good that picture is or isn’t. I just decided that a special occasion like being out amongst strangers for a common purpose for …

Home Is Where The Job Isn’t
I wouldn’t expect your average fella on the street to know this, but someone first elected to council in 1997 who eventually went on to be the mayor for three years should probably have a better handle on the rules of his office than now ex Mayor of Brockville, Ontario Jason Baker apparently does. Like …
Something The Unvaccinated Can Do That Isn’t The Usual Thing I Tell them They Can Do
The willfully unvaccinated aren’t high up on the list of folks I would expect to knowingly do something for the good of others, but this is still handy to know. Canadian Blood Services is encouraging people to donate blood, even if they haven’t been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Gina Leyva, the territory manager at Canadian …
