It sounds like you need to *learn* how to enjoy some down time. Seriously, the body and mind arent meant to be on the 'go' for 24/7 365. You may be able to pull it off now because you're relatively young, but chances are that it's not going to last. Have you considered that you may have an...

Just because you're trying to lose fat, don't assume that you need to focus on cutting down fat as a macronutrient. What did your typical diet look like beforehand? Focus on cutting down on refined sugars (sounds like you already are). Like Mac already said, it's amazing how many people drink...

From a financial perspective, sure those problems aren't technically yours. But if you're stuck with a less-than-stellar landlord, then those problems are most definitely yours until they get fixed at the whim of your landlord. I rented for many years - I know the pros and cons. If renting...

Sure you could. And that's an entire mortgage payment that's going down the tubes rather than going towards your equity. Unless renting a house is substantially cheaper (I'm sure some would argue that it is anyways), then it doesn't seem worth it IMO.

Beyond just the financial considerations - does anyone *really* want to rent a ****** apartment for the rest of their lives? With zero control over renovations, appearance, upkeep, and utilities? Yeah thanks, I'm not 23 anymore and I actually take some interest in my living space. To each...

It really depends on you and what your priorities are. As already mentioned, buying a new home doesn't necessarily guarantee that there won't be any issues. It's definitely true when they say that they don't build 'em like they used to. For me, location was the most important factor. I bought...

Wish them ill will for what? Being born to wealthy, successful parents? Yeah, some of them are definitely ka-zillionnaire d-bags. But for others - simply having nice things doesn't necessarily mean that they won't also be taught how to work hard in life. It's all up to the parents, and they are...

I've been a Crossfit member in the past, both when Xfit was starting out here in TO and a few years ago in Mississauga. I'm not a member anymore because I don't currently need what Crossfit will give me, although I appreciate what the workouts did for me at the time. I know there's a lot of...

Although I don't agree with pushing anything on other people, I gotta say that eating paleo/primal for myself and my spouse has been wonderfully successful. We're two of the leanest people I know, and we never go hungry. I just think it's worth mentioning, because nearly every other woman I know...

Not exactly sure where you're directing your rant - you want elementary/high school to lose public funding? Post secondary isn't free last time I checked (although it is heavily subsidized). I'd like to see more failing University students get the boot. I used to work at a University, and the...

Good post. :thumbup:

Nah. Too easy.

Yeah, I just read that as well. How tragic for the brother now - his whole family wiped out, and to forever be linked to this horrific event.

I'm more interested in the psychology involved of the individual - what causes someone to suddenly go on a homicidal/suicidal rampage?

National Post is reporting that a law enforcement official has said that the shooter was a 20 year-old with "ties to the school". I guess right now there are going to be all kinds of conflicting reports and speculation.

The Star is reporting that the shooter was a father who had children attending the school, and that he is amongst the dead. If that's true, then death was too easy a punishment for him.

Horribly sad. I don't how anyone could target children like that. Please, let's not let this thread dissolve into a firearms debate.

All this posturing and bickering on who's fault this was - who cares. How about get to work and finally get something done for once? I say rebuild it. If you tear it down permanently, how are you going to accommodate the traffic that used to use it? Are they all going to cram all the cars onto...

I'd curious to know if they really would save money. Drug tests aren't cheap. Plus the staffing and logistics required to do so.... Sounds good at first, but would probably be costly and difficult to implement.
