    We have that problem with our late parents house. The grand piano was placed into a second-floor room by removing the window casing and using a crane.

    We are hoping that the piano will sell with the house.

    Even decades later, that phrase never fails to make me laugh.

    For anyone who doesn’t know it, former Prime Minister John Chretien is from Shawinigan (note spelling). One day, an angry man made it past his security detail and started shouting at the prime minister. Chretien grabbed the man by the throat until his security officers could hustle him away, and ever since then the move has been known as the Shawinigan handshake.





  • I know absolutely nothing about breakdancing, but I do know that the clips I saw from the Olympics were embarrassing and shameful for any team. I don’t know why she was there, but it was clear she shouldn’t have been.

    At least Eddie the Eagle displayed courage and dedication, even though he locked ability.

    Now if you told me that she was doing it as a protest to vividly demonstrate the corruption and lack of values of the Olympic system, I could go along with that.

    Given that large areas of the world do not see breasts as sexual, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that breasts are erogenous because our society has said that they are, rather than any innate characteristic.

    When I lived in Africa, women and girls had no problem exposing their breasts, but would go to great length to keep their thighs covered.


  • In the 1970s, growing up near Toronto, my family was part of a food co-op where my mother would go and work a half day a week, and we would buy food from the co-op that was brought in in bulk, and we used our own containers to bring it home.

    Nowadays, there is a chain of bulk stores in Canada called the Bulk Barn hundreds of bulk goods, including many things you can find nowhere else. Typically, you use their containers, but they have a promotion where if you bring your own you get 15% off.


  • It’s not clear to me what the license is. Given that there are large number of corporate brand icons, I assume that these were just vacuumed up from the web, and there is no way to know if you have the legal right to use them for your own purposes.

    There is a disclaimer that the icons are free to download based on the creators copyright restrictions. So presumably because these icons existed somewhere on the web, you have the right to download them onto your computer, but not use them yourself.

    Until the licensing issue is clarified, I would stay away.
