Born on a mixed subsistence farm in rural Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, Canada. Moved to Ontario in 1967 to attend University at what was then Waterloo Lutheran University and moved to Oakville, Ontario in 1971. Without intending to live up to the name became a letter carrier the following January and have worked for Canada Post ever since. I retired in August of 2008.

June Belly Aching

I know how to access ripping software for DVD's and am aware that virtually anything is available for download, even before its release for screen somewhere in South-East Asia but I chose to buy legitimate copies of DVD's. What I find insulting is the fact that I am forced to waste my time looking at copy warnings before I can enjoy the videos I chose to pay too much for in the first place. Those who choose to pirate these things will not be deterred, those of us who are honest are being penalized for that honesty.

I have 'friends' on Facebook who bare their souls online and through instant messaging with the use of impossible spelling, bad grammar, and indecipherable syntax, some even bidding the online world good night; but are either unable or unwilling to take the time to collect their thoughts in a logical consistent manner and write me an E-mail. If the trend continues future biographers will be denied the collected correspondence of individuals which inform so many great books of the past. Are we becoming a post-literate society?

The trouble with buying bulk herbs and spices is dealing with the extras you scouped out of the bins that won't fit in your original containers.

Attila the Hen beats the rap. Word just in that Mayor Hazel McCallion 92, of Mississauga was found not guilty on a technicality. Meanwhile another disgruntled voter is working on a petition to have the GG oust Harper as Prime Minister of Canada:

At the rate he's collecting signatures the people of Canada will be voting on his re-election before the possibility of such a constitutional crisis could rear its ugly head. Canada lacks recall legislation but recent events prove we may need it.
