This is old but I still like it; it's what happens when you take the dancers from over there, bring them to America and put them on the side of a mountain drinking their own whiskey for a few hundred years.

Just give them half a chance
I bet they'll rob you if they can
Can see it in their eyes that they've got a nasty plan . . ."

I can't see anything from our window but i hear glass being broken, sounds like someone might be smashing car windows. Last week the business across the street got their window smashed, and a few days ago someone broke the glass on the bus stop shelter.

Such a wonderful area to live.

Counters in newer build condo/apartments dedicated to rentals are low for a reason, so folks in wheelchairs can access the counter, sink, stove while sitting in a wheel chair, its perfect level for that, but man does it ever suck for us tall folks. I need to find a stool that is short enough so I can sit and make things in the kitchen/cook comfortably, just too short and I end up with neck/back pain.

Trying this again, having issues with links posting. Vancouver driver decides to drive down stairs.

My thinking is its a troll ad, reddit user found the youtube for the so called rapper in the photo in that ad and first video was very recent, so my guess is someone having some fun. But maybe its legit who knows.

I'll continue to play? So FOB is a key? Or perhaps an electronic device that opens a door with a card and/or pass code? I googled it and got about 6 definitions of what a FOB is.

Ok, Jsmith said it was the FOB system 'for the building', and I said when it's broken he can't get into his building; those are 2 important clues. Jerseygirl's prompt answer to your question is a big help as well. Random stuff - the anything else thread

If we do an image search for 'fob system for building' this comes up. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=fob+system...ages&ia=images

Some lady without MSP coverage at the walk in has the receptionist in tears because she doesnt want to pay the fee $160 and the clinic doesnt direct bill travel insurance and the lady is freaking out.

They just called the cops as she wont leave and is recording everyone in the office.

Is she a visitor? If so, has she said where she is from?


It is quite common for travel insurance not to be charged because it can be a hassle collecting the money. I've had to pay up front and claim back later ........... though that can also be a hassle!
