    "More stinky sunshine"

    I was listening to the radio on the drive home this evening, and the woman reading the weather report said, most unenthusiastically, "The forecast for the week is unchanged: more stinky sunshine and heat." Stinky sunshine? :confused: I can't help but think back to several weeks in Dec-Feb...

    Question about air travel and headphones

    I was pleased to discover that Air Canada now allows use of their entertainment system from gate to gate. No more having your movie turned off suddenly and without warning 30 minutes before you land at your destination! But apparently, you can only do this if you have earbud type headphones...

One in four women routinely fake an orgasm. 4. Fifty percent of women say their body image interferes with their sex life. 5. The...

    A small rant about City of Vancouver and the film industry

    I live downtown, and for the past few weeks, there has been an awful lot of movie-making action going on. I know this is a good thing for the city, as it brings us revenue, but here's the thing: all of this filming is becoming massively annoying and inconvenient to my daily life. Considering...

    I love tofu, or... ?

    DENVER - One Colorado woman's love for tofu has been judged X-rated by state officials. Kelly Coffman-Lee wanted to tell the world about her fondness for bean curd by picking certain letters for her SUV's licence plate. Her suggestion for the plate: "ILVTOFU." But the Division of Motor...

    Help please - need recommendations

    PERB has never let me down before when I needed recommendations, so I figured I'd give this a shot ;) Does anybody know of a good place in or around downtown where I can get a mailbox and mailing address? I do not want to use a Canada Post outlet, as I need to have a "suite" type address, not...

    Do your civic duty this weekend!

    In case anyone has been living in a bubble and doesn't know, this Saturday is the municipal election. If you are jaded by politics and think your vote doesn't mean anything, remember that decisions made at the municipal level are the ones most likely to affect you directly. If you're not...

    Scam of the year: BC Government property tax assessment freeze

    I'm wondering why this has received so relatively little media attention. Shouldn't people be outraged by this? :confused: The BC Govt has declared a freeze on assessed property values. In other words, the tax assessed value of your property will remain the same as it was in 2007. We all...

    A sad, but uplifting story

    After reading the depressing story about the welfare couple about to deliver their eighth child, in the hopes that one of these days the Ministry might actually let them keep one, I was so happy to find the following story about a wonderful father in Vancouver...

    Air Canada to eliminate fee for second bag

    Looks like consumer pressure has finally caused them to cave! Personally, I think the existing surcharges are criminal. Airlines should not be permitted to use such a deceptive price structure. When I travel by air, I expect that the costs of fuel, airport improvements and security are...

    Dog Shit

    Thank you so much to the inconsiderate asshole who couldn't take ten seconds of his or her precious time to bend down and pick up after his or her pet. As a result of your utter and total lack of respect for others, I have spent the past two hours carefully extricating your dog's putrid feces...

    Help - my e-mail sucks!

    I have had it up to here with the webmail that accompanies my site. It is not particularly user friendly, is ridiculously slow and is completely unreliable. I have been unable to access my e-mail for over twelve hours now, and this isn't the first time I've had this sort of trouble. This is...

    Raspberries with white drupelets

    Any fruit experts here? I bought a pint of local raspberries, and a number of them have a few (maybe 4-8) white drupelets clustered at the top. There is no mold on them, but rather a complete absence of colour in a few of the drupelets on otherwise very ripe berries. Any idea as to what...
