Not sure these pics will work. A highschool in the Niagara Falls area has created the AC/DC Junk Band, using instruments made from found items...including hockey sticks. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.572988342755114.1073741827.100295090024444&type=1 Wonder what they sound like!

Obviously, that's the part they don't get!!!!

haha Thanks. Oh, btw JR...Lawrie's average is creeping up to respectable, but still has a lot of work to do. Hitting .245 after yesterday.

Went to a Blue Jays game today. Got selected to play one of their between innings games and won a Honda lawnmower. Apparently, the thing is worth over $600. Could it be...I'll actually WANT to cut the grass?!?!?

Wow...be thankful you work for a company that recognizes ability/initiative and skill. Lots say they do, but there aren't many that ACTUALLY do! Congrats.

ahhh...never really understood what "Escrow" meant. I don't believe we use the term here. At least not in any financial dealings I've ever had.

3 meetings...2.5 hours, but I think it's all sorted out. An overpayment to Bank X (I'm recovering that amount)...a tax account created at Bank Y using my mortgage money (I'm recovering some of that...they still have to make a property tax payment next month) **not sure if they do this in the States, but up here, the bank can manage/pay your city taxes for you.** When all is said and done, every cent of the $5k is accounted for. Now...I did still over spend on the work by close to a Grand...that's on me...and I didn't fully understand the way the taxes were going to be worked out...Chalk that up to poor 'advising'...in hind sight $113k is what I should have gotten.

So annoyed right now. My mortgage is with Bank X. Bank Y was offering a cash back incentive to move a mortgage. In theory, the cash they give you will cover any penalties/fees (which were calculated at roughly $1200-1500 between the 2 banks) associated with breaking the current mortgage, and in most cases leaves you a little bit left over. So...I needed just over $107,000 (fees included) for my existing mortgage, and I want to do some work at the house, so I add another $5k to the new mortgage ($112k total). The $2200 cash back from the promo gives me just over $7k for the work and fees, and leaves me some extra. Well...the pay out to Bank X was more than I expected and there must be a BANK Y fee or something I was not made aware of when I/we did the math....because out of the $5k I added....I am left with only $1980, and the work ended up totally $5800. (I've already have the work done/paid for). So, even with the $2200 promo cash, I not only don't get to have a little bit left for myself...but my L.O.C is stuck with the difference...which means (drum roll please)...I'm actually paying for at least part of the work on the house TWICE. Once on the mortgage, and once on the L.O.C. Have a meeting with them today to see exactly where the pay out numbers differed from what we talked about...but he knew going in what I needed to do the work. So if the fees weren't going to leave me enough I should have been "Advised" better by this so called Financial Advisor. I kinda expect to get ripped by someone for not having all my math correct, but that's why dumb radio guys go to banking professionals for this stuff...we no damn good at math. /vent

You make a good point!

So, I'm walking across the lot at lunch and there is a charity BBQ event at the bank. One of our stations is set up and I see Brusier, the mascot from the Bulldogs. I haven't seen 'Brusier' since the season ended. I wave and I was pretty sure he saw he...gave me a thumbs up! Now...he wasn't wearing the "normal" Bruiser suit that is very easy to get around in....he was in the 8' inflatable version....so when he came bounding over my way...I said "Hey Bruiser" and stuck out my hand for the customary mascot highfive! Well....he must have been happy to see me, because he threw a massive hug on me that knocked my glasses off and bent the shit out of one arm. When I went to straighten it....it snapped! Not being able to break character...he just kinda took off and we went on our ways. I texted him later and he felt pretty bad about it. Funny story...not really a vent, but while I had been planning to get an eye exam and new glasses...It wasn't in my immediate plans. It's now part of my day off plans Monday!

Btw...we won 15-3 the other night. Great game by everyone.

Just stop going to the site...no snese being an ass just to get banned....besides...if it ever cleans up, you may want to go back...or, a la UFC or wrestling...MSH might jsut get SOOOO huge that it buys up the competition!

Possibly NSFW. But funny as hell.

Do you still have the BOUCE plates? Gonna get Michigan versions done?

A friend texted me "Dick Trickle killed himself" I thought that was Tom Cruises' character in Days of Thunder....so, I thought Tom Cruise had killed himself. I had to double take and remember that the character was Cole Trickle!

We're a beer drinking team with a softball problem!

I may not get this 'sweet spot' this year...We're pretty bad!

Back in the day, I ordered my GF an "I <3 Darcy Tucker" (before <3 was a 'thing' yes, it pained me to do so) t-shirt from NHL Shop. I searched through my CC bills, and I honestly don't think I was ever charged for it...but she got the shirt.

George Jones.

Canadian singer Rita McNeil. Never really a fan of her music, but apparently she still had quite a following out East! She was only 68.

It's been over a year since I started....close to 50 games...not to mention all the hours I've spent on that mahcine prepping...first time I've EVER seen that pop up. Great timing!

Middle of the 3rd period yesterday, A message pops up on the laptop that all my music plays off. "HP Assistant. Reboot is required". Options were "Remind me 1 hour, 2 hours...never" So, since there is only about 10 minutes left in the period I quickly click 2 hours and ok....computer message pops up. "Windows will reboot in 1 minute" Program closes and the machine goes through the SLOWEST reboot ever. There were 4 whistles and no Goals during the reboot. Thankfully, the video guy had short clips with music for the stoppages. Stupid Windows!

That was a bad call to not blow that down...but at the same time how many times are you told "play 'til you hear a whistle"??? No Whistle...but a bunch of Leafs stopped moving and the Habs didn't. Same as the offside goal Duschene scored...he KNEW he was offside...but didn't hear a whistle...so he kept going.

Yup....became a legit fan when I started there in '98!!!!! In other death news...Jerry Buss, the owner of the LA Lakers, died today. He was 80.
