I see a really good opening here for one-on-one tutors.

If you still have cheques left over, does that mean there is still money in the account? LOL

I'd like to win the lottery just to try out how good my money management is. I'll volunteer to be one that gives it a go! LOL. -
I had over 3 million views of the 110 Math videos with about 3,000 subscribers. Topics covered: Solving equations (grade 9 to 12), factoring, word problems, graphing and compass and straightedge constructions. My Youtube channel is "minkusbc".

You know, for every new invention, it can be super, or misused. Good example is "fire". I started putting math videos up on Youtube in 2006, and they have helped hundreds of students over the past 14 years. That's a good use of Youtube. I don't get any money anymore, but for about 10 years I made a bit of money, making my video career a payment of about $1.23 an hour! (LOL). However, on the flip side, you have "This guy's youtube videos".

I'm so old, that I can remember, in Duncan, at the local theatre, all first nations had to sit in the balcony, only whites were allowed down in the general seating area. This would be in the late 50's and early 60's.

I'm a few months shy of 73, so, yup I'm pretty old. Well, I'm old, but not very pretty!

Have you been able to get tax deductions for your dependents?

I remember when the drinking age was 21, so none of us 20 year olds could go to a bar!

How about an accordion or a tuba circle!

Spoken like someone who has not really played a team sport at a high level. The team captain, and the coaches have ways to get their ideas across without doing what you are suggesting. A team has to run with all players on the same side, not with divisions or name calling or being the tough guy with your own teammate.

I have an acquaintance who is a QAnon supporter. Is there somewhere that I can find some well thought out articles about who this group is and what they stand for, and, of course, how I can counter his arguments. I would love to see a debate with some of these people (I gather some supporters are running in US elections), and someone with some sense on national TV. Even if the debate was on Fox News, I might watch it!

Try teaching a class of 30 when half are texting every time your back is turned! If somebody needs some b**ls then it should be the school board that allows cell phones in the school. Mind you, now that we have COVID-19, cell phones can be used for online learning. Until the teacher's back is turned, and out come the texting and videos and games. Sigh....

I was not in favour of Biden, I think he will have trouble in the debate. What Biden offers, is good, slow, reasoned responses. If he surrounds himself with good people and has a good running mate, it may be alright. What Biden is not good at, is quick thinking on his feet. This is the game plan that Trump is now playing, showing commercials about his gaffes, etc., and this is how he will attack him during the debate.

In the 60's, as a summer student, I worked with a construction company, insulating, using a power drill on concrete, and working a saw in a sawmill. In none of these jobs, did I where I mask, or use ear protection. Also, smoking was allowed in the school's teacher lounges. We have come a long way...

So many young people think it can't happen to them because they are "fit" and healthy. Well, some of the fittest and healthiest people on the planet are professional athletes, MLS, NBA, NHL, NFL, pro-tennis players, and some of them have come down with COVID-19. I still have aquaintances saying, "its only a virus and the flu kills more people, and its only old people". I did counter with the question, "If it is old people in care homes that die from it, where did they get it from? They're not out at bars partying, someone has brought into them".

I also play the piano, you should hear me play the scales!!!

I don't know how to do this, but could each area, have their level of COVID-19 response be tied to their level of cases. For instance Kelowna has had a spike in cases, so they therefore have to clamp down more. I can see peer groups being more active in helping get this thing under control. "Hey everybody let's get down to 'x' so that we can now do 'y' ". Maybe too simplistic. Just a thought. And it should be done regionally.

Isn't this a time to have everybody get a shot? Virtanen will be there on game day.
