All I can say to this is I’m glad to a fan of “a team like that” And it feels awesome! 

@coastal.view 

Am I suppose to sing out your response?

It reads like lyrics to a song

You say lighten up

and not let Doughty rain on our parade 

Then why care what he says in the first place?

That's my point

This team is rolling and doesn't need the motivation

Even if they do, keep it internal.

Be better than that

Just my two cents

Tre Mac

righto

you were the one spreading the negativity

i disputed the need to

you cannot really respond

and so you diss my form instead

put a smile on your face

don't be such a debbie downer

Oh yeah. I'm happy with the return we got for Burr and Hansen. Their time as mentors was served, and we got something decent for both of them. No argument from me.

Then they told Button to zip it!

@Green Building re Friedman, he just comes across as a well-fed, clever rich kid, whose ol'man likely owns the network. Good sources?..perhaps.. oft worth a listen, but somewhat condescending?

Maybe, but I'll take someone whose opinions are, more times than not, fairly accurate and a little condescending over some of our local media who are, more times than not, turd sandwiches any day. 

@Tre MacThere was a lot of fighting and more than one ban as a result of that thread if I remember right.  It's probably why you don't see very many flare-ups about religion here.  When they do start, most people rush to try and put out the fire before it explodes.

Yes, its best to avoid the subject of religion entirely. It would be nice if we could discuss religion without all the drama but that seems unlikely. For many theists their religion shapes their entire world view and they don't take kindly to having their entire belief system attacked and ridiculed.

I believe in God, but if somebody attacks and ridicules God over the internet, I rarely bother responding to it.  It's like when somebody puts 3 6's in their username.  They're usually looking for attention and they think that they are being edgy.

Most atheists that I've known don't begrudge people who have religious beliefs as long as those same people aren't trying to forcefully convert them.  I can understand that because I'm a non-denominational Christian and there's a reason why I wouldn't answer my door if a Jehovah's Witness or Mormon were knocking at it.

lol

Let my passport expire a few years ago.  Really only needed to head south, and that’s just not safe anymore.  

Def 10 yr! Go big, or stay home!!

Unfortunately it's becoming the norm in August.  

To be fair the planet has been trying to kill us, and every other living organism, since Day 1. 

Whuuu?

There's no connection between your wasted tax dollars and our health care.

Fillings aren't essential. Just block a slap shot with your face. 

@luckylager I want to keep trolling you on the tax dollar thing but I think you're starting to take me seriously. 

One time when I was in the hospital, there was a young guy with a new wife upstairs in the ICU who ignored a cavity, it rotted a hole eventually to the soft tissue and got infected and traveled to his brain.  He died 2 days later from the swelling in his brain.

An unhealthy mouth has also been proven to have detrimental effects on a person's heart.  It's a shame that Canada's healthcare doesn't cover cavities.  It probably costs as much or more in the long run to the healthcare system in adverse effects.

@SabreFan1

Was merely clowning a bit myself.

Here's the thing though. You can literally walk into the hospital in agony due to a cavity and they'll pull the tooth.

I'd say (even though I don't have the numbers) it's extraordinarily rare for someone to die from an abscess in Canada.

-"Errrr ma gerd ma tooth hurty, pull it out"

MD- "Ok, just hold your head still, I'm gonna fire a puck at you"

- "Aim high Doc, hurts deep"

*clap* 

*pop*

Doc gets out the dust buster, cleans up the hole, gives you a bunch of drugs and sends you home.

Yes, a healthy mouth is very important to your overall well being and it should be part of our national health care system. But it's not. 

However dental emergency is. Extreme pain caused by a cavity or impacted wisdom teeth is accepted at the hospital and will be treated (properly, without pucks) there.

Winning the draft Lottery to Pick Sidney Crosby.

I would probably have to go with Shea Weber.

Jagr or Hossa. With either of those two I think we'd have at least one cup right now. Imagine the WCE in it's prime followed by Linden and Jagr/Hossa on the second line. 

i like loui with granny and sutter. they play well together. good defensively with scoring ability. 

I thought he's been playing better so far. (shrugs)

It just floored me even at the time he was signed that Loui at 31 years old was given a max term contract.  It was pretty short sighted.

I believe the max term contract was the only way he would sign. In hindsight Jim should have just let him go elsewhere. One of those things that if it had worked out, GMJB would have looked like a genius, but now he looks like an idiot. 

I'd like to see Willie scratched next game. 

Put some peanut butter on it, and have your dog eat it. That way, you can explain how a rabid dog attacked you and ate your toe. A better, more badass explanation than "I took my shoes off."

Puts some peanut butter on what exactly?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Japadog Terimayo. This is the one I drool over. 

@Alflives, what butcher is selling cat-dogs?

@Alflives wait... your parents served you raw hot dogs as a kid? 

Yeah, I absolutely hate thieves.  I'm fine with helping addicted people as long as they don't steal to support their habit.  But the ones who do steal belong in prison until they're willing to behave like people.  Canada is far too soft on property crime.

If you think there's a difference between being an addict and a thief, why link the two?

It's easy to fall into bad times, and it's easy to fall into addiction. It's a disease that would affect your behaviour if you had it.

Can you talk to the jerks who were fixing their car at 10 pm on a weekday in the alleyway?

Ugh. 

I sent you a private message.  Stop talking to these idiots....  They're called "zombie debt collectors" for a reason.

Yup. I'm with @SabreFan1 don't even waste your time. Block their # and throw anything they send you in the trash.

They probably bought the $20 debt from Telus for $0.50.  Really shouldn't hit your credit score.

there's no reason for you to act immediately on this, you don't have to do anything today. Take your time. 

I'd rather he'd have more long-term issues, like CTE.

What really bugs me is he has skill. It's not like he needs to be a dirtbag. 

@luckylager  

Gillis did alot of good things he was good at figuring put sports science for the team.everything beyond that he was not very good

Gillis would have been a fine President but his hockey decisions were an unmitigated disaster.  Any interference he got from ownership was due to his own incompetence.

@Tre Mac so ownership told him to make Luongo captain? That was pretty embarrassing as a Canuck fan 

@Ghostsof1915

No it's not, who says Tom-ahh-toe nowadays? 

Normally - Dah-tah

To mess with my IT guy I like to say - duh-der... Makes him crazy. 

@Wilbur he's clearly British 

Now if anyone says TOE-mah-toe or Toe-ma-TOE I'll be like 

I'm pretty sure I remember it at some airshows as a kid, but that was well after the 80s.

One of 'em crashed into a Zeppelin(killing dozens; late 70's?))..but it was out in the boonies(Cloverdale), so most folks just forgut...

@Ghostof1915, yes it was here for Expo, and flew over our relatives house, when we were in their pool. One of those sunny, hot, summer days. That thing was so damn huge.

Oh, never mind, I just reread your status...

Hey, that's great news

You got them all, nice work!

Sis it only take you 6mos?

for crabs you just put sand and a bottle of whiskey over the affected area. The crabs get drunk and have rock fights and kill each other

Gotta catch 'em all?

Highlights only here.

James neal really does suck wow. Tom sesito bad

Not full commitment. Jets / blues, flamers / Avs and a period or two of SJ / Vegas here and there.

Ovi in Vegas.... you might hear his liver explode from here if he doesn't suffocate under the pile of escorts. 

   anyone thqt thinks ovi is washed up  has no clue this guys a stud  he scored 69 points this yr and 30 goals  no one in nhl scored 50 this yr  so its more like he scored 40. he has 200plus more goals than anyone else since he came into league. Yes hes a superstar and your not gonna score 50 every yr watch he light it up  next yr he should play 23-25mins a game not 17  coaches didnt utilize him properly this yr  some one should be feeding him onetimers on pp every game 

It's not that he's washed up. The reality is unless he trains like Jagr in the off season age catches up with us all. 

To give up youth and a boatload of prospects can be done only by teams that have lots of depth.

I just don't see any team making a deal that would work to get him. 

Haha, my boss didn't make it in either.  And a new woman was supposed to start today...emailed to say no go.  But Deb the trooper's here...come on now people.  

The 405 bus went through the light then the driver obviously didn't see the flashing train crossing lights!  Went through, train was right there.  Not a fun ride in.

Took me 45min to get home.  Just got out of the sauna, that was much needed.

so my salt mine shift is done

and i really am covered in salt dust

from salting walkways etc.

SOB.....and I hoarded all these condoms....

newbie

in this time of crisis

those can act as temporary gloves in a pinch

one for each finger

and you are all set

@coastal.view  I think you’ve just outed yourself coastal.view!  You’re the REAL Lee Marvin.  The fellow who passed away was an imposter!
 

Thought about getting a bread maker but lots are sold out and the mixer gives me more options.  Not to mention a lot of the reviews say they just bake the bread in the oven so I went for the mixer, I am not loaded by any means but don't mind spending some coin as long as it gets used.  

good luck

i actually baked bread for a couple of years in a bakery

people under estimate the value of a good proofer (a climate where humidity and warm conditions allow yeast to properly flourish and rise your bread)

the break maker provides this quite well

it is harder to get that environment in the standard kitchen

that is an undervalued benefit i was simply wanting to point out

you can make irish soda bread no yeast needed  

I have their first three albums, AJFA and Black I didn't care for tbh, then Megadeth came along with Rust in Peace and the rest is history.

AJFA sounds way better with the Newsted bass lines in them (just sayin').  Me, I discovered Napalm Death shortly thereafter and everything else sounded weak after that (until I moved on from that, LOL)

Lmao

I totally forgot some of the transitioning that was happening in justice. Shortest straw was a piece of what they were to become, and the title track was everything they were keeping behind

I'm with you man... that's all I've been doing the past year. I sometimes listen if the reasonable guys are speaking...

Don Taylor, Black Price sometimes says good stuff, Rintoul is ok... Tony G is great when I want to torture myself. 

Aside from watching games, I haven't felt the need for traditional media sources ever since I joined CDC. Though they gain the info from the traditional sources, CDC members (mostly VC) fill me in almost just as quickly.

Good for you, TM

The nerve of them Peace Arch News staff!
