Bessarion to IKEA!

Don't go to Leslie station and walk up the big hill. It's 1 minute longer from Bessarion station. And it's downhill. And you can take a shortcut through Canadian Tire.

They should rename it IKEA station, then it will get the attention it deserves!

How does a bus skip a major stop?

I needed to visit the ER at Sunnybrook early this morning. After 4 hours I was released and waited at the bus stop near the main entrance around 6AM. I tracked the 11 bus to Davisville on a couple of apps. It arrived on time and drove right past me. I was waving at the driver, but they just kept going. And the timer on my apps reset to 25 minutes. I needed to get home to get ready for work, so I got Lyft instead.

I've been skipped a few times at a bus stop before. But not at a major stop like this.

WTF TTC?

Toronto warning in Tornado!

There is actually an active tornado warning here right now! I was taking a nap, then suddenly all my weather apps exploded! It's been a few years since I got this alert. Best day!

The Power Station was my first concert ever.

I was finally allowed to attend a concert with an older friend when I was about 13.

There was no Robert Palmer. Instead we got M. D' Embarassmet

WTF?

The lady shaver

I was a very early bloomer. It was around 1977 when my mother let me use this on my hairy armpits and legs. It came in a round case. It looked like a tiny suitcase.

Eventually, years later, she bought me razors. But I still remember this.

GenX friendly debit card!

I just opened a new bank account. I got my new card. I found it strange that there are no numbers on the front. I turned it over, and the numbers are printed in big font on the back! No glasses needed to see them! Even the expiration date and CVV are easy to read!

If only we had enlarged font on restaurant menus, nutrition labels, etc.... Now that the millennials are getting older we might see these things!

Disclaimer: I'm in Canada, so everything I said might not make sense to everyone reading this.

Is there Anyone Out There?

Stupid question. Of course there is.

Was anyone totally obsessed with the early/original Duran Duran? The really early days when when they had a little punk rock edgy guitar sound? Before The Reflex became popular?

I was obsessed with them back in the day. My heart broke after they broke up, then brought in new members. This is the only Duran Duran.

*note Andy Taylor always had the best vocals

I'm finally finishing a full watch. I'm near the end of season 7.

I'm surprised that I find myself laughing more than in previous seasons. This goes against how it works for most shows.

The bedroom situation makes no sense

First of all, kids sharing a bed is just weird unless it's Little House on the Prairie.

They had 2 living rooms in their house. Why didn't they turn one of them into a bedroom? Maybe for the parents? And let the kids have some space?

And what happened after the final episode and the reboot? Did they have Jamie and Kelly sharing a room?

June 1st. 15th anniversary of the Springfield tornado

It sucked up the river and hit a large city. Myths were broken that day.
