  1. Back to work tomorrow after 2 months off...Why can't it be the work time that goes fast instead..

      Just find a job you genuinely joy/have a passion for and neither will be an issue. 

  2. One year, one way 975k deal for Motte to come back, I don't mind that at all.

  3. https://globalnews.ca/news/5427410/atlantic-ocean-freshwater-reservoir/?utm_source=Other&utm_medium=MostPopular&utm_campaign=2014 A gigantic, freshwater reservoir has been discovered beneath the Atlantic Ocean, stretching from Massachusetts to New Jersey, according to a new study. Scientists at Columbia University made the discovery during a multi-year survey of the sub-seafloor off the U.S. Northeast coast. The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports on June 18 says the aquifer stretches from the shore at least from Massachusetts to New Jersey and extends more-or-less continually out about 50 miles to the edge of the continental shelf. If it were on the surface, researchers say it would create a lake covering about 15,000 square miles. “Our data suggest a continuous submarine aquifer system spans at least 350 km of the U.S. Atlantic coast and contains about 2800 km3 of low-salinity groundwater,” the study reads. According to researchers, the aquifer was found trapped in porous sediments lying beneath the ocean.
  4. I put in an offer on hopefully my first place that was for rent...though it seems too good to be true and unlikely to be accepted, but hey who knows, anything can happen.

      Well..after almost a week of waiting, got a response saying they found someone else without even bothering to respond to me. Oh well, that was expected.

      I plan to stay in, relax and sleep in past 4am for a change, ended up working an hour of OT to end things. And I'm in construction labor @Ghostsof1915

      As long as you're not laid off buddy. Enjoy the time off. Recharge the batteries. 

  6. Dinner 13 years after last seeing friend and it's like only a day had passed. That's how you know things will never change, was a great night out to catch up :)

      A lot of my buddies are like this, which i'm grateful for as we all became parents at different times, as well as grew up and are career minded, which of course cuts into "bro" time.  Friends like that are timeless, cherish them with a good beer and solid laughs.

  7. 13 years since last seeing a good friend in person and I get a dinner invite to catch up on life..a welcome surprise.

      Never forget the importance of your day 1 homies:) 

      Something I'm learning about right now overseas. 

       

  8. Nice way to end the work day...spent an hour at last years building after the fire supression system on the top floor busted and flooded 15+ units along with a waterfall down over the decks to the ground below for 20+ mins...

  9. 34 years old and Rick Nash announces his retirement from concussion symptoms..Shame, always liked the guy.

      It's a shame he never had a whole lot of support on the NHL squads he played for before injuries caught up with him, especially during his time in Columbus. Almost always had to do the heavy lifting alone when he wasn't playing for Canada.

  10. Just finished watching the season for Titans on a random whim...Some may hate it and some may like it...But I think the dark and evil undertone made it worth a watch despite not being my type

  11. From getting a cold on sunday to waking up with a probable ear infection..man I hate that feeling

      Blast it in the shower with hot water.  I know it's probably the last thing you want to do but it'll relieve the pressure which causes the actual ache.  I get them every year in the winter.

      That's what I was guessing, I just left there early this afternoon. 

       

      Started by lightning I am guessing (and hoping that it wasn't someone doing something stupid)...hopefully rain can help the situation.

      Yup, lightning is most likely, they worked on the fire overnight til it was out, being right beside houses and all

      There is a feature on Luc soon on the 2nd intermission....Calgary vs Arz.   James Neale playing with Luc at the under 18.  Didn't know that.

  14. I go digging in my drawers and closet this morning looking for something that randomly came to mind...and found a shoe box filled with an 11 year old ipod, empty samsung S3 box and old original xbox controllers randomly...Not sure why I have any of that still...

  15. 12 years of pain, happiness and learning..I've decided to get the girlfriend a ring..time will tell if it's the right decision.

      Congratulations!

      12 years is along time to be together so clearly both of you are getting good things out of it even if it isn't all clear skies and roses.  Assuming you already co-habitate, getting married probably won't change much day to day stuff but it's fun to have that ceremony/party at some point.

      what if she says no

      you are making this all about your decision

  16. Watching Altered Carbon while ignoring everything else I watch in the process...Best show I've watched in awhile.

      Do you get paid extra for the sixth day?  

    3. PrideInThisTeam

      PrideInThisTeam

      Pretty sure it's just normal pay. It's all well and good since I said I'm taking monday off to have my 2 day weekend. I can't complain about that then.

  19. Just got offered a chance to go to a Canucks vs Oilers sometime this season..I think that would be a perfect matchup to go and see for my first live game.

    1. Alflives

      Alflives

      In Edmonton or here?  I went to lots of Oiler's v Canucks games in the early to mid 80's, hen the Oilers were at their peak.  Sit down low, if you can, the top guys are just incredible from ice level.  

    2. PrideInThisTeam

      PrideInThisTeam

      In Van, should be fun either way if it pans out

  20. Found out last night that best friend and her bf were hit by a mercedes on their way back to Ontario from a cross-country trip days after I met up with her..Stranded in Calgary temporarily because of it :\ at least they're alright and it wasnt any worse than a scare mostly.

    1. thejazz97

      thejazz97

      Glad to hear they're alright! I had a couple friends who were stranded in the Rockies after their car got sandwiched by semis (thankfully they weren't in it!)

      Glad to hear your friends are ok! Cars are replaceable, people aren't.

      I'm hoping the guy gets charged for it in some way and doesnt get off completely free. Im sure something will happen to him though

  21. All the interesting stuff happens on my days off..police were called on site and arrested somebody who was lurking around and acting funny, had a 6 inch knife in his pocket.

      Probably a good day to miss work, to be honest. One day I called in sick at the university where I work, later that same day they found what appeared to be a fake bomb a couple buildings away from mine :o

    3. PrideInThisTeam

      PrideInThisTeam

      Now that's a good day to miss work. I'm back in tomorrow so I'm sure I'll get more details than what's been said on the news about it

      if you weren't there, then at least they didn't come for you. 

  22. Possible shooting down the street...Cops and ambulance have been around with more cops down at other end of street.

    1. brilac

      brilac

      Oh my!  This one time, there were helicopters flying my building and smoke out my window, and I turned on the news, and there was a fire down the street and was seeing the whole thing on the news.  I called my boyfriend at the time telling him what was happening, and if I should take my cat to a safer place, and my then boyfriend assured me that everything was ok that firefighters were on the roof.  This older guy, about 87 years had purposely set fire in his apartment killing himself and burning down the building.  The building was set to be demolished for condos, and he had lived there for 30+ years.

      It turned out to be a hoax, second time in the past 2-3 years a hoax is reported by the same address >_>

      if not a hoax, stay inside, stay safe. if a hoax, I dare you to post this on face book. you would get a lot of people.
