I ride to relieve stress. Commuting to work is too stressful. The first time a driver saw me but still chose to get close enough to hit my saddlebag with his bumper, I realized some just don't care enough to pay attention. I can't control for that... so I don't take the chance. So I ride on...

Okay, I haven't lost out on concert tickets - sold online - in more than a decade. I follow a simple procedure each time, and I always get in at the start of a sale. It doesn't help you get around presales and front of the line nonsense, but you get a fair opportunity to buy good tickets at...

Actually, I was thinking of the situation where you buy a new build. It's purchase price is now fixed, and you have 12-18 months to let your current (old) home appreciate. That's what my wife and I did and it cut $130k off our new mortgage.

Yeah, if you got the gnads for all the moving you can really upgrade quickly. I wonder though, would someone be taking a chance doing it at the current prices? The slowdown has to happen sometime, no? (but people were saying that in 2008, I know.) I would love to tell my brother and...

Yeah, I have a close friend who has moved his family 4 times in 15 years to reduce his mortgage. He's got 2 kids and I have to think that the continuous change has taken a small toll. Then again, military families do it all the time. I guess I'm just the type of person who likes to find "home"...

My wife and I bought a new build single in Vaughan in Feb 2016. We take possession next month. It's now worth $300k more. No exaggeration. But I would be worried to do it again... a moderate interest rate hike is going to slow things considerably. That said, my agent agrees that a...

This ^^ ******* are crazy.

Darwin at it again.

I really do hope the ownership change will translate into better service. I went in there last year with a real intention to buy a bike, but the salesman thought it would be a good tactic to ridicule the bike I'm now riding. "We'll get you into a real bike" kind of thing. Well I told him, and...

Re: If you participated in this ride smarten up!!!!! I work for a major Toronto news outlet. Our assignment desk tracked down some of the 519 asshats via social media today. Really should not post about the upcoming douchebaggery beforehand. After asking cops for comment, they asked for the...

Forcillo found not guilty of Second degree murder, GUILTY of attempted murder. The conviction of attempted murder pertains to Forcillo's second volley of gunshots. Forcillo was not found culpable in the first round of shots (Second degree/manslaughter.)

Not a lot new - yes. Still freaking awesome - yes. Oh, and it was really refreshing to see most characters in costume rather than the half-@ssed CG effects that we endured in the prequels.

"Hey, look what I stole! Now tell me how I can keep it, or chop it up for parts!"

Murder.
