  1. So police confirmed that 2 suspicious packages found on Monday and Tuesday in town were both pipe bombs..both in the name neighborhood just above me almost.

    1. Odd.

      Odd.

      aren’t they saying it’s someone who’s deliberately distributing the packages just to alarm officials?

       

      I feel like I heard something about this a couple of months ago

      Those people need to be caught and punished severely. Same as those idiots doing arson.

       

       

  2. Got in truck at end of work and it registered a 49 degree temp after baking in the sun all day...I think I'm gonna spend the rest of the hotter days in the one building that has A/C

      Next time leave one door of the truck open, and then open & close the other door a few times.  This pushes the hot air out of your truck.  It will still be scorching hot but you may drop the temperature down by 5 degrees.

  3. That's some strong anesthetic..Surgical Center visit for some tooth pulls..numb til tomorrow.

      That's no fun, being numb in all!  Then again, I got some wisdom teeth pulled, and all I could think about was Taco Bell after.

  4. 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.

      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.

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

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

    1. VforVasili

      Great show. Binged it in one weekend, and it was a busy weekend. 

    2. HI5

      HI5

      The acting is soo baddd though

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

    1. Tre Mac

      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.

      Hope you feel better soon, man!

  7. Well..phone died out on me an hour into my workday yesterday..had to spend $120 on a temporary replacement since it's completely toast, what fun..

    1. goalie13

      There's your problem.  You should never use a phone made from toast.  Not only is the screen crumbly, but they have no water resistance at all.  They just get soggy.

      Sometimes you just gotta get up and take a number and keep playing. Hopefully the rest of your week is better. Cheers

  8. Well that show I'm rusty..2 days back at work after over a year..and I go in winter boots instead of steel toed boots like needed, only realizing the mistake when walking in the house after work.

    1. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      Good thing occupational safety was so sharp as well. ;)

      you know, steel-toed boots are designed to slice your toes off in case of a crushing load falling on your foot. this is because the alternative is having the toes crushed, which is much more difficult (if not impossible) to repair surgically than having to simply reattach the toes. they don't protect against damage completely and are actually designed to inflict a reduced harm in case of necessity. a lot of people don't know this.

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

    1. RRypien37

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

  10. 3 ambulance and 2 firetrucks have passed by my place with sirens and lights on in the last 20 mins...what is going on..

    1. smithers joe

      smithers joe

      maybe brock got traded.

  11. Apparently there was an apparent abduction involving a child in town Sunday afternoon that lead to 2 people injured and the suspect killed by police after a 10 hour operation...https://globalnews.ca/news/9061983/suspect-dead-2-women-hurt-kamloops-child-abduction/

      Great job by the police to rescue two women and a child. The suspect was apparently shot by police too.

  12. 5 and a half hours at emergency room yesterday for chest/back pain..Doc said it sounds like gallstones, how fun.

    1. bigbadcanucks

      bigbadcanucks

      "Sounds like gallstones"....sounds like a typical BC Health staff response.  Why wouldn't we expect an accurate and definitive diagnosis in this province?  Good health to you, but with the third world health care system we have in BC, you will better off if I wished you good luck.

  13. So someone in town got electrocuted on a job site yesterday and suffered burns from the armpits down..rumored to have lost a hand, though I haven't seen that in writing.

      Damn that’s scary I was watching a video the other day about someone who was inches away from a lightning bolt but ended up ok because he had his hand on his bike and the rubber tires kept him grounded 

  14. Having break at work and apparently an old school BC Lions guy is here visiting some people he knows of our crew..Lefty Hendrickson

    1. Nuxfanabroad

      Nuxfanabroad

      Better than Al Pacino's Lefty, sellin' furgazis..that fellah was KNOWN, forgettaboutit!

  15. Firetruck with everyone in plastic suits over them (assuming covid protocol) just quietly pulled up next door with just lights flashing, accompanied with 2 ambulances, in and out in 15 mins with one person taken away on a gurney.

    1. Violator

      Probably zombies

  16. Bleh...waking up to snow and it hasnt stopped since the morning yet...too early for this much

    1. brilac

      brilac

      That’s neat! I really like snow!

  17. At least the Bruins didn't win..Now bring on the '13-'14 season and let's get back to our own game and win :)

  18. 13 years since last seeing a good friend in person and I get a dinner invite to catch up on life..a welcome surprise.

    1. Zoolander

      Zoolander

      Never forget the importance of your day 1 homies:) 

      Something I'm learning about right now overseas. 

       

  19. RIP Glenn Frey, A great old time name in music lost.

      Wow this month has not been very good to the industry

      RIP

  20. Looks like a school here is on lockdown..reports of a person with a gun inside

    1. PrideInThisTeam

      PrideInThisTeam

      "At about 2:20 p.m., the school received an anonymous call of a threatening nature. The call was garbled, but the caller made a threat against the school itself, not against any student, staff, or administrator."

  21. House explosion in Canmore earlier today...Sounds like a gas leak. Only one person injured thankfully.

  22. Aww..Come home to a new puppy, she's so adorable.

  23. My thoughts and prayers go out to a close friend, who's best friend tried to OD. I hope he's ok and I'm here for you.

  24. Well..helped someone move yesterday and some unknown thing that I touched gave me contact dermatitis..now I'm stuck with swollen, itchy hands and marks on body for a bit til it clears up

  25. CDC always reminds me why I like staying fairly anonymous..Much safer that way.
