Me and some friends will be at a bachelor gathering in muskoka Labor Day weekend.

any advice as to some things to do other than boat on the lake and go to the kee?

I bought 10k of VRT in December around 7 months ago. I've always kind of looked at it as a long term play as are most of my investments.

What are your guys thoughts on it and its potential?

Or would you sell now and take the profits and reinvest elsewhere?

Last year I was kind of shocked by Huda's fandom. I understand America loves an emotional person who wears their heart on their sleeve, but I was kind of appalled by how emotionally manipulative, disrespectful and insecure she was the entirety of the season and how she practically ruined a variety of other islanders experience, but was rewarded and celebrated as a result.

I see people comparing her with Melanie often, but the differences in both of them are immense. With Melanie, you have someone who is emotional, fiery, and opinionated, but in a way that is quite self aware which huda lacked. There is something increasingly endearing about her with each episode passing as she is adding fun rather than sucking the energy out of the villa like Huda.

I went from being wildly put off by Melanie in the first week to now thinking she is going to be a star after the show ends. I almost had to stop watching last year when the producers tried to force feed us a huda redemption arc, but with Melanie it's been organic, effortless, and cool to see.

I legitimately thought this cast was wildly boring after the first couple episodes, but this ep made me realize they all have so much more personality than I thought. If you told me after the premier, id be a Bryce guy, I would have said you were insane, but here I am. I laughed harder at this episode by the absurdity of it all more than I did all last season. Nice having 'villains' that are also funny and somewhat endearing rather than what we had last year where it was just uncomfortably toxic as if we were collectively watching someone having a mental health crisis in front of the world. Not gonna say names but I think we know who we're talking about. Say what you will about any of the cast this year you dont particularly like, but at least they're bringing entertainment which we desperately need in terms of a fleshed out storyline that keeps us engaged. I think we're back ladies and gentleman.

114 points in 161 games as a 20 year old kid who doesnt speak the language.

In a down year, the man scored 51 points playing 14 minutes a game.

We all know it takes Russian forwards a bit more time to learn the defensive side of the North American game.

A year removed from giving this organization life. A year removed from outscoring Bedard. A couple years removed from losing his father tragically.

I will always love this kid and you should too.
