Tidbits

  • Sleepover at Ikea - Maybe this is the only way to get to the $1 early enough…

  • A ramen bath - Japanese spa with special baths resembling instant noodles.  I wanna play!

  • Old age homes for dogs - 1) Old dogs don’t like to be abandoned at strange places.  2) Playing with young puppies will probably cause the older dogs to die faster due to exhaustion.

  • A remote-controlled pigeon - Oh the poor thing…

  • An article on a brilliant method of teaching grade schoolers about bats and rabies.  I smell a lawsuit.

  • Will trade beer for Crumpler bags.  Tempted by the beanbag and messenger bags…

We were one of the early adopters of handheld automatic GPS units, way before Garmin and Tomtom became common household names.  (You do not want to know how much we paid for our Nuvi!).  It was great, no more printouts of first MS Streets and Trips, then Google Maps. …

Floor Renovation

June 11, 2009 | House |

So we completed our first major renovation of the house earlier this month, by replacing the flooring on the entire first floor.  The living room was carpeted, and the rest was vinyl.  Mike wasn’t particularly pleased with them even when we got the place, and he finally got around…

How we were traumatized by the automatic car wash

April 20, 2009 | Personal |

We switched Mr B back to normal tires last week, and the rims were covered with brake dust.  We decided on the way home to Waterloo on Sunday to get a car wash at the Esso near my house.  It was a touchless system, but it was a bit…
