I’m having a little trouble figuring out exactly how stupid this gentleman is. Like clearly he’s stupid, but is he stupid or is he stuuuuuuupid?

I had to renew my health card and Ontario Photo Card this week. Since you can renew a lot of these things online now if you don’t need a new photo (thanks, Covid), I thought I’d give it a try. I had a picture taken last time I was in and I haven’t moved or …

I Think You Missed A Step
Do you ever wonder if uSave Flooring has a shoplifting problem? With a slogan like “Prices so low, just take it and go!” they’re pretty much asking for one, aren’t they? They do sell a lot of product that wouldn’t be the easiest to sneak off with, which probably helps. But if someone did, would …
Miltons To Cease Beating Up Disabled Patrons
I wrote about the service dog denial situation at Miltons restaurant not long after it happened, but hadn’t talked about it since. Boy oh boy, a lot sure has happened since.

I May Have Dodged A Snow-Covered Bullet!
Everybody, sing along! Having gridlock Christmas was almost my experience. The plan was to head out today and head for Mom and Dad’s place, about 300 miles away.

Get Ready To Remember Another Damn Area Code, Southern Ontario
I know the answer is that nowadays each individual has at least one and sometimes more depending on his job, but now and then I still can’t help asking myself just how in the hell there are so many phones. Even though southern Ontario just got a third area code in 2016, its already in …
