  1. Yeah, I mean, I haven't posted a TON, but I post in spurts, and I tend to stir the pot. I'm sure I've reached out and touched SOMEONE.

    One of the people I've touched (metaphorically) is banned though so I'll just have to expect it from someone else.

    why exactly were they banned, i thought she disapeared just like you did

    i'm sure you touch many people.

  2. Agreed.

    I hardly even see him try to shoot the puck - if ever - and he skates like he has 50 pounds of extra equipment holding him back.

    have you ever seen his shot though it is pretty brutal, thats probably why he doesnt shoot, then again his passing isnt much better. really i dont know what good he is at all

  3. pictures may work with some women, i do have a feeling canuck_83 may be a little classier than that.

    don't know if you don't try though.

    in my experience though most women like to have the dates as a prerequisite to the late night visits.

  4. Also, I need ideas for picking up Canuck_83... Nothing has been working

    i thought at first she was just playing hard to get, but its been a little strung out for that

    maybe she is just stubborn and doesnt realize what an awesome mate you would make for her.

  5. that is good

    brings a smile to my face

    but how did you bypass the censor when i clearly couldnt even call myself an -------

    i guess it must have been a post-post edit by a 3rd party because i did just call myself an ------- and it didnt turn into -------

  6. I don't think you're an ____ either and, sorry, didn't mean to imply that.

    Yah, sounds like he just wasn't cut out or used to the work environment. But calling you an ___ was uncalled for.

    i find it funny,

    i never figured you implied anything either

    i dont much care for all of these ______. makes reading things hard.

    i do believe it might almost be time for bed though

  7. Wow. Were you? Or was he just lazy? haha

    i really dont think im a --------, this is my first job where ive been given any supervisory duties so it is hard sometimes to always find something for me and the 2 other guys to do, we keep busy but nothing crazy. he was an office worker before this so maybe he wasnt cut out for it though. sucks for me though cause he was a good worker. he wasn't lazy.

    out of curiosity, where do you work?

    i am a carpenter, right now working in a shop building portable trailers.
  8. narrow winding streets?

    i was wondering about that vancouver is the best city for driving in as far as straight streets, everything is in a grid pattern, hard to get lost. some cities you drive your on one street and before you know it your in the wrong direction

  9. Maybe not -5 but -15 would be equivalent, dry cold is easily stopped by warm gear, whereas wet cold like we get in the Lower Mainland is like having a bucket of water dumped over your head. Yesterday I was in -20 weather somewhere in Northern Ontario and it was a joke, that temperature in Vancouver would hurt.

    Lower Mainland snow also isn't the same stuff that you get back east, its slushier and more slippery even as it falls and we have to deal with it on really narrower, more crowded streets with a lot more hills.

    -15 is rare in the lower mainland. the average low in december and january is above 0.

    i agree with you though snow in the lower mainland is worse. wet snow sucks, and it is only made worse by the fact that no one in the city knows how to drive in the snow. luckily though it is rarely there for any longer than 3 days. vancouver doesnt get winter, plain and simple, and i wish i was still living there. 1 week of crapty snow sure beats 5 months of negative tempuratures, remembering to plug in your car and getting out 20 minutes before you leave to start it up

  10. I'm in Toronto, where it's snowing pretty steadily but it's not cold and it's not sticking. Anyway, this is like my 30th cross Canada trip and I still find Lower Mainland winters to be effectively at least as cold as anywhere other than up north because of the crazy dampness, and Lower Mainland snow and ice is more disruptive because of that dampness and other reasons. Granted the Lower Mainland doesn't get a lot of snow like many places in Canada but what it does get is a hassle.

    you can keep pretending that vancouver has bad winters and it is just as cold as anywhere else but you are only fooling yourself, if you believe -5 in vancouver is just as cold as -40 anywhere else in canada.

    the biggest reason snow and ice is a problem in vancouver is because the city does not have enough snow clearing equipment and the drivers do not know how to drive in those conditions, because they are rare.

  11. That's just dry cold though, super wet cold like we've got is a different thing, it goes right through whatever you're wearing. I've felt colder at -15 in Vancouver than I did at -50 in the prairies, wearing the same winter gear.

    i wish people on the coast would stop pretending they know what winter is like. wet cold does make a difference but it isnt as drastic as everyone makes it out to be. i spent 2 winters in vancouver and never put anymore than jeans, sneakers and a hoody when its -40 or -45 and then 50 or 55 with the wind chill you cant leave the house without 2 pairs of long johns, jeans 3 shirts a hoody and a thick jacket and good winter boots with about 3 pairs of socks. exposed skin can also be frost bitten in under 5 minutes.

  12. Time to break some records:

    Vancouver has a chance to break a 25-year-old cold-weather record on Tuesday by a chilly four degrees.

    Environment Canada forecaster Gary Dickinson predicts a daytime high of -6° C on Tuesday, which would smash the record -1.9° C high on Nov. 23, 1985 by more than four degrees.

    “There is an arctic ridge of high pressure over the entire province. Temperatures are chilly and below normal,” he said Monday.

    Dickinson said conditions are expected to remain cool until warmer temperatures arrive on Thursday night, bringing rain.

    Vancouver is expected to reach a high of -2° C on Monday, which is unseasonably cold, but a lot more agreeable than other places in the country.

    It was a frigid -26° C in Fort Nelson on Monday; in Edmonton, site of Sunday’s Grey Cup game, it was -25° C.

    it sure does depress me that i moved from somewhere where the record cold was -2 to a place where it is -40 for a good portion of winter
  13. I don't know where you are...you said you are not in BC..but if the windchill drops to -16 here on the coast it is like -40 in the interior.

    no it doesn't. ive been in vancouver in the winter and northern alberta in the winter. northern alberta is definately colder. the wet air does make it feel colder but that i am almost certain is already calculated into the wind chill.

    -40 is cold. really damn cold.
