Value Village and a few others are For Profit. Another con are the phone calls from "Charities" collecting used clothing for XYZ. Many are just resellers hoping to pick up some lightly used designer togs in high income postal code areas. Ask for a charity registration number and hear...

Water temperature makes a huge difference with taste in tea, having the different abilities of dissolving the flavour elements. I assume coffee is the same. Green teas taste better when the water is not the rolling boil of pekoe.

Arriving at Union Station on a service call.

We baby sat our daughter's dog for a month or so and only gave it tiny treats. When she went back home our daughter was not happy with her pup's expectations. If it's not your dog, don't train it. Also the stranger that wants to give it a piece of chocolate because it's cute, deserves a punch...

Without full details it's hard to rationalize street justice for things the police wouldn't investigate. Let's face it. We've all been tempted. Just remember, the police don't like competition, even if they have no intention of pursuing the matter.

My phone is set up to shunt unknown numbers to voice mail and advise me of any left messages. One such message was from Toronto Police, asking me for more info on a collision I had witnessed. Fortunately the timing was irrelevant. However, what if a loved one had been mugged and their phone...

Any chance it's a GL1500? Also don't forget the clutch fluid if you have a hydraulic clutch. My brake fluid didn'tlook bad but the clutch stuff was lumpy gravy.

I have been led to believe that a concussion results in the loss of short term memory. If this is the case the driver who survived may not be able to add to what led up to the event. Did the truck driver see anything? Time may tell.

Does building a periscope count? Our Lennox furnace flashes a code number if anything is amiss, usually a filter. The trouble is I have to look through a lens to read the code and the lens is a foot off the floor. Laying on a cold dirty shop floor in my pajamas isn’t my idea of fun. So a...

Home Alone 1

I’m sure all the studies and reviews were done pro bono by friends of the establishments. SF

Find a blend that you like black and leave the candy to the others.

I bought some RFID credit card sleeves and they seem to work as the card wouldn't tap when it was enclosed. Three for about $10 at CAA or about a buck each on Amazon. Then when picking up some beer I noticed free gift card envelopes at the counter. I took one and applied aluminum foil tape to...

Thank you. Meat should taste like meat, Beer should taste like beer not a pumpkin latte.

We buy legs of lamb when they're on sale and cut off the meat and grind it. A bit left on the bone becomes a stew. We mix the lamb 50/50 with beef to make kofta burgers, containing onion, tomatoes and spices. BBQ on fake swords. Medium beef gives more flavour and the fat issue is a big scam by...

Resetting my wrist watch for daylight savings time is like mining for crypto.

I kept a 26 footer at the narrows in Orillia. It got 3 MPG but a typical weekend was a trip to the town docks, one gallon, and return to the marina, stopping at Chief's Island and anchoring for the day or sometimes weekend, enjoying the camaraderie. The return trip to the marina was another...

I made thousands in points when Visa had the deal going with GM. I didn’t have a company card. There was a back door way of selling the points as well.

Good point. A dealer demo is different than one from the manufacturer's trailer stable.

I was offered a few hours on a comparable BMW when I mentioned having a 1500 Goldwing but never took them up on it.
