BIGTIME!! I don’t profess being a plumber … only a know-it-all. But, under this particular October 31st scary situation handled myself handy-dandy-halloween-well, if I do say so myself! Water spewing everywhere on two floors was the last thing I wanted to see. Images of THAT proverbial expen$ive emergency plumber phone-call kept fla$hing in my mind! A bit of collateral drywall damage looking for leaks, and then capping off the water supply with shut-off valves … and dan’s-yer-plumber!! 
Burger joint with a gazillion burgers! Gourmet burgers too! Makes your head spin trying to pick that perfect one, so many mouthwatering choices. I know I’ve been lazy lately w/ pics, and w/ food blogging. Not that I haven’t been going to lotsa fun places, I have … just been lazy w/ the pics & bloggin’ ’bout it! And to prove my laziness, this was two week-ends ago, on The Danforth – 888 Danforth – love that lucky number!!
Leaside Burger – upgraded … lean ground Elk …
a side of fries and the obligatory gravy …
Sam Adams AND the Sam Adams glass too – nice touch …
Almost 3 o’clock, and it dawned on me, today’s her birthday. Never slipped my mind before. Guess death does that … no excuses. As I said, terrible!
Sorry, am late in posting, it’s been a hectic weekend. BTW, shouldn’t even be apologizing, giving reasons why I’m posting when I am, as if it’s anybody’s business … for being busy, living my life. On second thought – apology retracted! Found this perusing discussion boards comparing the Wolfgang Puck blender to Vitamix. Loved lacey1’s memorable one-liner summation! Yeah y’all, Listen to chickenbutt! – and def pick/stick w/ Vitamix!!
got a feelin’ that forever we are gonna stay together
for me there’s nothin’ better you’re the biggest part of me
well make a wish baby well I know we’ll make it come true
make a list baby of the things I’ll do for you
ain’t no risk now in lettin’ my love rain down on you
so we could wash away the past so that we may start anew
more than an easy feelin’ she brings joy to me
how can I tell you what it means to me
flow like a lazy river for an eternity
I’ve finally found someone who believes in me and I’ll never leave
… LOL!! I ain’t kidding either!! I heard about the guy, and today I witnessed it first hand. Apparently he hangs around the neighbourhood trying to drum up business. A renovator (read scam artist, lol), without a vehicle, without tools, definitely without any license. As we were leaving walking towards the car, he rode past, blurting something out about ‘not hearing from you’, before turning his head and delivering this gem as he continued pedalling, LOL!!
Maybe it’s been my fault all along for having People as one of the widgets on my iGoogle homepage. Maybe I shoulda jettisoned that widgebitch ages ago. What I do know is this; I could give a flying fuck how Kanye West proposed, how Jake Gyllenhaal lost weight for some retarded role in a movie you couldn’t make me/pay me $$ to see, how Julia Roberts swoonscrappola … “my husband made me believe in myself in a whole new way” that makes me wanna violently spewpuke … and how some Jersey shithead knocked up some broad, who now is some Jersey shithead proud poppa to be … that I give even LESS of a rat’s ass about!
want you to know that should I go
I always loved you held you high above too
I studied your face and the fear goes away
but all things change let this remain
Just asking again … ARGHHH! Had this written ready to send … somewhere in WP SUPPORT re upgrades, but am posting here instead! It ain’t snippy … is it?!?!
yeah, sure i wanna upgrade … spend some of my hard earned cash, help my blog along the way. thing is, i’m unimpressed with wp not directing many of my blogposts to specifically targeted topics, and more unimpressed with wp non-responding to simple queries wondering why?
I needed it! I’d a rough go of late, with missed training and illness, it really has been a struggle. Today’s run was reconfirmation!
After my fast 4K accomplishment, jogging home at a relaxed, comfortable pace finishing up my running, was in order. Near the end, I was waved down by an old lady using a walker thingie with wheels. She was looking for an address, I offered help, but with her advanced age, and needing assistance walking … and more importantly knowing she’d have about 1 kilometer more to go pushing, supporting herself on that old-fogey stroller thingie, I asked, “how far can you go?” … “as far as I have to” was her speedy smiling reply. You go grandma, I thought, lol! And, not one to miss an opportunity, she took a moment to solicit me with some religious crap (pamphlet/literature). Naturally, I took it and thanked her kindly … I didn’t want her to think that her long life spent peddling fantasies were in vain!
map to heaven – just what I need, lol …
happy w/ the sub 18 … not so much with lengthening splits …
but can you rely on anyone in this world
no you can’t it’s not my fault there’s wall to wall empty cans
everyone wanted this to all go wrong for me from the start
it’s fucked up that a man’s life can just be attacked
watching this morning with a beer is much better than relying on
unknown cunts for mates I was given that don’t have my back
so here I am in my house drinking on my own settee
everyone’s a cunt in this life no one’s there for me
’cause tomorrow we’ll survive another day
live for tomorrow
’cause tomorrow will forget about today
live for tomorrow
’cause tomorrow will forgive us all our mistakes
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!
I swear, she musta said it at least a dozen times, LOL!! Obviously was very pleased I called, and happy with my praise!
… yep, Excellent!
Nobody’s right till somebody’s wrong
Nobody’s weak till somebody’s strong
No one gets lucky till luck comes along
Nobody’s lonely till somebody’s gone
It’s in the way that you use it
Boy don’t you know
You motherfucking inconsiderate cunt!! And yes, CUNT … I eyeballed the guilty party, plus her poon was givin’ off a bad stench, somethin’ awful! Am I the only who who knows/follows/pays attention to/abides by, illegal parking moves? ‘Cause, I’m the king of that shit … but there’s still rules for fuck’s sake!! If you’re in and out within a minute, no problem … park wherever you want, just always be aware, and make sure you’re watching … park ‘n run ‘n get the hell outta there! Def doesn’t apply if you’re planning on parking for a prolonged period of time! This is when you have to use common sense, and be courteous … AND, since you’re doing business with the neighbour’s next door anyways – block their driveway BITCH … NOT MINE!! Have respect!! Christ, they ain’t coming and going at that point … ARGHHHH!!
Can’t come home, can’t leave home! Skanks for nuthin’ …
Meanwhile; front bumper doesn’t extend even one inch over the culprit’s driveway. Fucking cunt …
it seems there’s something deep inside of you
and I can tell that you’ve been lonely
and you’ve had hard times too
cause we believed for nothing it seems
and now it’s shattered all apart and like a broken heart
it’s the end it’s a start
I don’t wanna talk about that anymore when there’s nothing going on and something should be done
and I wanna live if I have to die
if I have to die if I have to die
Thanksgiving Day today, but celebrated with family yesterday … so you know what that means … LEFTOVERS, lol! Lotsa turkey, stuffing, gravy, pumpkin pie. Yum!
What a beautiful Canadian autumn day today, a great day for a run, a perfect opportunity to try my hand at fartlek training. I guess you can say I’ve done it before … changing up my running. I broke it up into four separate runs. First, I ran 2K semi-fast, then 1K really fast, then another 1K even faster, and finished with a 2K that included a hill climb, and a long gradual descent. Was fun mixing it up. Even tried a new app, sorry Strava, sticking w/ RunKeeper. PLUS, it’s my nephew’s birthday today. A beautiful Canadian day indeed!
my kicks are accumulating kilometers, easily 1200K to date …
Running is hard! It’s very hard when you haven’t trained, for whatever the reason. It’s very hard to put on your gear and head out the door. I had two goals in mind after what amounts to being unable to run for the past eleven days. I wanted to complete my 8K run without stopping, and I wanted to establish a good pace from the 1st kilometer, and keep it till the end. I wasn’t looking for anything near my PR. I wanted to run, non-stop at a fairly fast pace. I did it. I’ll admit, it wasn’t easy … running at times takes so much mental strength, as well as physical conditioning. I’d rank today’s run as one of my best ever, especially with all of my adversities of late. I’m hoping with better health, and good weather, my training will continue uninterrupted.
… FINALLY!! It’s been a long haul getting here, but today I can optimistically say I’m getting better! Everything went well, and this time I capitulated and snagged a painkiller prescription before I left. But, not before Dr. Harry asked for my driver’s license. Huh? Apparently a new (new to me at least, lol) government policy. Same thing happened at the pharmacy … but, at least this time when she began her explanation, I stopped her telling none was necessary.
A couple of quickies:
Was just getting into it w/ the assistant, telling her my running stories/accomplishments before the good doc came in, ready to go to work, abruptly ending my few moments of glory. She was all interested, and impressed, asking lots of questions. Was a great, relaxing/calming way to begin the procedure. It made me happy talking about it. Other than my blog, really don’t get an opportunity to say much about it with anyone. Oh sure, Tiff gets an earful, but it’s exiting the other one just as quickly, LOL!
Dr. Harry said something to me, something about me … and, I was only thinking about it a day or two before, something I’m only realizing in my fifty plus years. I want to say, it’s something I hope to change, but, I don’t think that’s possible, so, I’ll say … it’s something I hope to lessen … “you’re too hard on yourself” – Dr. Harry.
my meds (+ 1 on hold at the pharmacy)
gave me the gov’t literature too, lol
