Trying to think of a legal but similar deterrent. A recording of racking & shooting a shotgun, played loudly over a speaker mounted on your house? Playing that recording might make thieves scatter.

Knew who this was before reading the article. Everyone in the area knows this couple is trouble. They're miserable. Online neighbourhood groups are full of anecdotes & warnings against going to them for watch batteries. Bought a gift that fell apart on first wearing.

Of course they assume someone else will do it. For centuries Black and Indigenous people have been doing the heavy lifting in fighting for rights which coincidentally end up benefiting everyone.

Say that louder for the people in the back who are complacently obeying in advance. They're afraid of their comfort being disturbed not realizing they're gonna be terrified & incredibly uncomfortable soon enough if they do nothing now.

This song penetrates my hard shell all the way to my gooey centre. Very lovely version.

If more of you are out there in more cities, maybe the military members will remember their oaths to your constitution & not to fighting their own citizens. They couldn't win that fight anyway.
Look at the way peaceful demonstrators are being treated, you have everything to lose if you don't rise up

My education was all in the Ontario public system & an Ontario university. Took a children's lit course in university & had read all the award-winning books in elementary grades surprisingly. Had v good high school English teachers & read so many classics. Some things abt GenX were good.

Few years ago I reread so many Shakespeare plays & the sonnets. I understood them on a gut level & with life experience behind me. They're a bit wasted on teenagers. Even a Shakespeare university course didn't penetrate my soul like reading them now does.

Not bad. Loads of references and citations, which is good but maybe not the easy-breezy read I thought it might be. Lot historical info about its beginnings. TBH, I came for the 60s & 70s debauchery & artists.

It was assigned reading in high school. I think I'd have a better understanding & more empathy reading it as an adult than a callow youth.

Inside the Dream Palace: The Life and Times of New York's Legendary Chelsea Hotel by Sherill Tippins. It was on a discount table at Book City on Queen E.

Even in this favourable article he comes off like a dick.

As much as I usually like Steve Carrell & Jason Schwartzman's work, I don't care abt billionaires' lives & motivations, satire or not. If they were poor & toxic, I wouldn't care either. This film is not for me. Not sure who it is for.

Please let it be a love interest who gives him a makeover! That old Pete Wentz look is not doing him any favours.

This. They're both ciphers. The evil cabal is dripping poison in both their ears to play them off against each other. To what end? Don't know because I'm not evil & not a master manipulator. Just suspicious of every damn thing.

Colour me skeptical & cynical but is this feud for real? Is it an elaborate false flag op? My jaundiced eye doesn't know what it is seeing.

The rosemary I grow in pots outside in Toronto is quite hardy. It's over-wintered outside some years and came back to life in the spring. Easy to propagate, though.

I've never had success growing it in the ground when I had a yard. I'm strictly a container gardener now who lives close to a year-round farmer's market so I replace basil easily.

It's been my experience that you can't rely on a single plant to get you through the summer into the fall. If you sow the seeds every couple of weeks, you have a steady supply. If you buy it in pots, you have to get one in spring & replace it at the end of July. Get another in Sept.

That was a big reason I didn't go during his first term. No border person is going to look through my phone. Scan my passport & see that I'm not on any list, that's fine.
Thinking that we should cross at land borders is nuts when you could end up in US detention or El Salvador. Not worth the risk.

Not thanking anyone until it is up & running without any initial bugs or growing pains. Even then, no one deserves any thanks for this project. They can roll around in all public $$$ they got as their thanks.

I'm surprised it was only raccoons & not squirrels, possums, rats, etc too.

The homeowner should've gone directly to the media. It's really the only way the city, organizations & corporations are ever moved to action in Toronto. In that neighbourhood, the contractors really should've known better than to leave the back of the building open when walls were removed.

I can see my house! It is a very walkable city. I don't drive & never have. Enjoy your visit.

It was more that he has 20 years of dickish behaviour in parliament on the record. It's been his only job as an adult & all in the internet era. Decades of dickish receipts.

No Lucky, either. Luann was definitely one of my faves.

I'm Cdn & my Irish granny immigrated here. She had JFK pictures up. At 7, I didn't know who he was. My mum told me & it made even less sense. Her final comment was that as an Irish Catholic he was a BIG DEAL to granny. Nvmd that we were in Canada. Can't imagine hanging a pol's pic up, but you do you

I wasn't there in 1970, but I remember the Simpsons restaurant on the upper floor in later years and it was good.

Gotta love a song that you can 'sing' the instrumental parts.

Can only speak for myself: No. N/A. Yes.
1 set of grandparents came from UK, 1 set from Ireland. Grew up hearing abt "blood limeys" b/c the Brit grands were dead before I was born but their influence lasted. Never been a monarchist & would love to be rid of them. Def pro-Europe.
