Depends

on where you are heading

Anything going INTO Toronto is a complete disaster and write-off, multiple sections of the 401 and QEW going into Toronto are closed for at least 5 hours due to massive pile-ups.

If you’re not heading into Toronto, you’re okay but expect traffic to be slooooow.

Okay, done with Vis Comm (break time!)

So, everyone is gonna be on the ttc? Crap. I take it, and considering they managed to screw up my ride insanely on Monday, with no weather issues, I’m not thinking they’ll do a good job today. Grrrr.

Subway

And what do you mean it won’t be any different? Have you ever taken the subway? A strong wind means they run behind schedule.

Maybe I’m just bitter because I had to wait almost 20 minutes for a subway on Monday. In rush hour.

Really?

I always thought TTC Subway was okay, but then maybe its because I only take it during non-rush hour on the weekends and I only ride the Finch Station to Union line everytime.

"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)

by Winkle on Dec 10, 2008 9:44 AM EST up reply actions  

It can be okay

But as someone who takes it every day, I’ve been bent over and screwed by it more times than I care to count.

I once put my fare in, right in front of a ttc operator, and walked down to the subway, waited 10 minutes with other people, and then someone figured out that they weren’t running the subway (repairs) and we needed to go upstairs, and in a different direction to catch the bus. The ttc employee was rude when we asked him. And that’s just one of my tales.

Oh yes

The employees are horrific, the union is the spawn of the devil.

I couldn’t believe that they had the nerve to make a strike announcement one hour before strike commencement on a Friday night, thereby stranding countless people in downtown T.O.

Depends on the blower

Some blowers use those metal screws, others don’t. For example, mine uses curved rubber paddles (looks like a paddlewheel from those old steam boats) so even if you stick your hand in, it’ll get hurt for sure like broken bones but its not likely that it will chew/cut/maim your hand off.

I have a bit culinary MacGyver in me. Or “iron chefin” as I call it.

It’s the best rum batter ever. Way better than that sugar junk at the grocery store. I have other holiday drink recipes too. Egg nog and Tom and Jerrys.

didn’t do much sports or anything else. I just played music.

in my early twenties, when i was in a band, we were playing shows 3-4 times a week. some of our sets were 3 hours long, and we ran all over the place while we were playing. I was in incredible shape.

after we all grew up and got married, i started to flab, so i started working out, and i now enjoy it…
