Haga, I've read and absorbed all the advice. I'm keen on the hanging about in the kitchen part. I have to take my own gluten free snacks and wine so I'll guard them until I've had enough then I'll let the hoards tuck in. I'll try and stay reasonably sober as I had a skinful on Thursday and my liver doesn't recover as well as it used to do.

Yeah. BC govt made us apply for CPP over the summer. Just got the decision which was no. CPP has a higher threshold to meet.

BC PWD system recognizes having a disability doesnt necessarily one cannot work but may not be able to work full time or work consistently long term so permits one to work and earn some income.

BC PWD also includes healthcare above normal MSP coverage. For instance most medications prescribed are covered in full including dispensing fee.

Eye exam I think every 2 years and 1,000 basic dental every 2 years. Dont quote me on the exact amounts as I could be off.

If a single parent there is also training programs available for in demand jobs.

Traffic was horrible today on the way to work.

Saturday traffic tends to be worse then my weekday commute.

Almost an hour to go 16km.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

ODSP does that too. Eye exams, dental, etc .

Half the bottle of tequila has gone, it's not even midday. This is not going to end well. :(

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

That's how I got kicked out of the Folk Guild.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I don't know what that is, but it's an hour and half before kick off and the tequila has all gone along with most of the big bottle of Canadian whiskey and now HID is sending me out to get more beer. It's like they're all back in college. Hope the pizzas arrive soon. HID and the other wives are about to take off and going to the pictures. :lol:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

You wouldn't like it.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

OMG. :eek: :cool:

There's two people sleeping in my bed and one on my settee and there are two semi-atomic pistols left on my kitchen counter. I suspect there may be some frantic cals this morning.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

:rofl: Hide the guns and say nothing.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Wear gloves if handling them. You now are in possession of 2 x items that you could use to your advantage possibly years down the road;)
What sort of company are you keeping?
I guess you might be in for a few freebies if you return them?
The possibilities are endless :lol:

Better make sure he's a citizen first. :lol:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Car sharing sounds good in theory. Problem I have is there is hardly ever a car within walking distance....:lol: If I have to hop on transit for 10 mins, may as well just take transit all the way..

Granted if one lives downtown there are lots of cars pretty much 24/7.

Less so outside the downtown core.

Good in theory, but not so great in reality.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

It all turned out okay in the end when we woke up, everything went back to the rightful owners. But, thank goodness I have two swivel chairs that turn into beds in my study. Secondly, I take it all back, they ate and drank everything except for the chocolate cake and I don't eat that. :(

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I thought you lived in Vancouver? Shouldn’t you have woken up surrounded by people doing yoga and applying beard oil? With a couple of bongs on the kitchen counter? Does no-one live up to a stereotype anymore?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Semi atomic? All that booze AND you split atoms?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Never noticed before, but when the washer spins the lights dim....



Doctors appointments can be tough sometimes, I only get my work schedule 2-3 weeks in advance, and some of these doctors book 3-4 months out which makes it hard to guarantee I'll have that day off.


Apparently next Monday is a provincial holiday, sucks since we only get holiday pay on federal stats. :(


And I hate US companies (seems to be most popular with them) obsession with text verification to recover a password, not everyone has the ability to receive these sorts of texts especially when the customer is not in the US with a US service provider, if your going to do business with international customers find a way that works for them......

Walnut Whips aren't what they used to be. Thin chocolate, no inner walnut. Tiny.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Inner walnut? I only know of them with one on top.

Definitely smaller.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

It's a long while since I've had one but there used to be another walnut inside stuck to the bottom layer of chocolate. The choccie itself used to be at least twice as thick as it is now. You could stick your tongue in and get all the marshmallows stuff out before eating the shell. Those were the days.

I always wondered what type of nuts they put on them. Mystery solved. :thumbup:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

That titbit of news is from November 2017, does it really take that long for news to cross to Canada?:rofl:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I remember trying a Walnut Whip and thinking, 'this is hugely overrated'. I was about ten.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I used to consider that as practice. :ohmy:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

News travels across Canada at the speed of thought; my link was in response to posts 3538 - 3540 on the previous page discussing Walnut Whips as if they still had walnuts on top. :thumb: hth

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

As much as I used to like them, the walnut was zero to do with it. Given the choice I'd sooner they were not there. The fun was biting the top off and scooping out before finishing the chocolate.

The walnut itself is as pointless as that piece of lettuce and slice of tomato on a plate of steak and chips.:nod:

Oh how I dislike ski's.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Why?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Not as good as Greek yogurt.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

True enough but it was the full of fitness food.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Im guessing he might be loading or offloading a pile of them from an aircraft or has just tripped over a set left randomly lying around the airport.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Yeah I guessed that too.

JS: "Ski" is famous brand of yougurt from the BristolUK era.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Good guess. :nod:

Ha. I was going to ask if you could still get it.

Black cherry....yum.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

You do see a few lonely tubs amongst all the new and organic stuff.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Bingo. We are getting 20 to 30 per flight at the moment and as its winter and overall demand to Vancouver goes down so does the size of planes.

Regional size planes are not easy to load skis into on top of all the other bags.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Stick them to the bottom of the plane then it can land on snow. :lol:

After my walk this morning in Bispham I decided I still don’t like the fine rain that eventually gets you wet !!!

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

How does the sea air smell wafting in from the pristine waters of the Irish Sea?
Were you walking along with a styrofoam carton of fish and chips perhaps.
