Agreed
I’ve been seeing Christmas themed ads on TV since October and CHYM FM flipped to all Christmas music this week. If we can’t wait until December like we’re supposed to, can we at least wait until after Remembrance Day to start forcing the spirit of the season on everyone? Kelvin Lewis takes center stage as …
Merry Christmas, Everyone! Not You, Poor Kids! Shoo Shoo Shoo!
It could be that I’m way out to lunch on this one because it’s been years since I’ve taken anyone to see Santa at a mall and even longer since I was the one visiting him, but when did those visits stop being free and start costing 15 goddamn dollars? And just look what you …

I’ve seen several news stories in the last couple of years about how Christmas is the worst time of year for heart attacks. It makes some sense. the holidays, fun as they can be, are also a pretty stressful time for many. Money, Travel, family disagreements, your doctor’s office texting you that you have terminal …

Hey! Newsflash! It’s the *World Wide* Web!
Here’s a rant for people who build an online shop, and then forget what that www at the beginning is all about. Let me just describe five incidents I have had where I have wanted to buy something for someone in another country, and I couldn’t do it, because I didn’t live in that country. …
