I just want to send out a big THANK-YOU to my loving relatives. Since my Dad died in 97 I haven't heard a peep from any of you. I mean you were at his funeral, but that was the last time. No Christmas cards, no phone calls, nada....When my my died in 2006, not a single one of you was at her funeral...oh did I mention the phone call that my mom made a few years before she died to my cousin???? Seems that my cousine told my mother that "my" life was a "mistake"....that I am a "mistake" that I was a "mistake"....oh yeah there's also the thing about my mother having alzheimer disease from 2001 til her death....no calls of support from my cousins then either....hey they are only my closest relatives on my father's side of the family that I've got....I'm not hurt....they can suck it. Hope karma gets you good cousin....

F-u cousin

Concert go-ers; should it rain on Saturday please do everyone a favour and leave your umbrella at home. It's damn near impossible to see the stage through a sea of umbrellas.

Buy a dollar store poncho, bring a raincoat, wear a hat, bring a damn garbage bag but leave the umbrella at home.

I'm curious why I never see anybody enjoying the deck on their apartment. Seriously, I never see people hanging out enjoying a summer day on their balcony. Now that it's in my mind it seems I notice it even more.

I dream about kicking the front window out of my apartment and building my own deck in a Rhum induced haze.

If you're not using your balcony this weekend I'd love to come over and hang out for a while. I'll leave the Rhum at home ... safe and warm.

Someone needs to do something about the Halifax bed bug infestation. I don't care who, I don't care how. Ocean Towers sucks, I'm now furnitureless, and broke. And they don't do shit about it! How can they allow people to move into these conditions with no warning. And now all I hear on the radio is how great these places are. Damn bed bugs, damn Ocean Towers! Sneeky bastards!

What in the hell is going on with the new sewage treatment plant that went on line earlier this year on Barrington St.. Something must have gone terribly wrong. It seemd to work fine in the beginning, but now It's creating the most unholy stink imaginable. It's enought to make you puke. I have to roll up the windows of my car when I drive by. I feel bad for the folks that bought into that new condo on Barrington west of said sewage treament plant. I can just imagine what is awaiting them when they move in.

Can someone tell me why it's acceptable practice to have 2/3 of the metro centre sold (all floor and lower bowl) for a concert when you are first in line for tickets? What kind of bullshit operation is this!!?

to the cab company with the awful cab driver: you pulled in my DRIVEWAY waved and aknowledged me, it was pouring rain and I was trying to lock my door. When you beeped the horn at me I couldn't believe when after showing up an hour after I called you allowed the people who walked off the sidewalk down my driveway get in your cab and drive off. I tried calling the company back all day- I was very late for an extremly important hair appointment and I will NEVER EVER use your services again and I'll tell everyone about my awful experience.

For the next little while, the cashiers are to ask the customers if they want to donate $2.00 for the IWK. Today, I saw as one of the cashiers ask a customer this, and the woman sighed wearily and said "No, I ALREADY donated. Everytime I pay for my things, the cashiers ask me this. We should be given a ticket to show that I donated already". Really, what a b*tch she was! It was like she expected the cashier to know this oh, so generous heart of gold has already donated some money. It's not the cashier's idea to ask for donations, and I'm sure they hate the anticipation of the disgrundled "No, not today". It isn't like giving money hurts the customers more than the many reasons the children are in the IWK to begin with. So for those customers out there that will complain to cashiers that they already donated, don't take out your frustrations on the cashiers, since they don't have psychic abilities (you obviously assume they have it) to know what you've already done for a good cause.
