Tired of all the pointless bickering.

Well Stabman... That's alright man, you're still ok!
I am considering checking your novels...
But may enjoy the premis too much...lol!

 

Southern Canada. Florida? Come on down!

 

Excessive enjoyment is definitely allowed.

Florida is a bit too south for me; I need winter to kill off those bugs before they get too huge!
I could cope with the gators and snakes (snakes are pretty cool), but year-round bugs would drive me nuts.

 

Of course you are. What are there, like 20 people and some polar bears in northern Canada?

 

Hey...!
We have some Geese too!!

 

No, you don't. They all spent the winters in New Jersey for years now.

 

It's not that bad down here ....I'm lying through my teeth right about now .. Last year wife had layed our daughter down for a nap. Now I'm the type of guy when I was working nights I couldn't sleep during the day without a fan running on me.

Anyhow so wife lays daughter down and decides to lay down with her. She just gets to sleep and hears this god awful sound like the fans motor has locked up and is about to explode .

She jumps up to see a copperhead in the fan little guy was taking a beating by the those blades lol. I get paged off my job I have a family emergency. So I run off the line and take my uniform off as fast as possible (I get covered in oil and grease).

Make the call to see what happens and she tells me . She ran out of the house and one of my neighbors heard her. He went in and took care of our visitor.

About 2 months later I'm looking for something under the kitchen sink and see something in the corner down there. Grab a flashlight and sure enough another copperhead curled up under the sink. To be fair that was our old house and it was really close to woods and water but we got out of there can't risk it with a toddler.

As far as the bugs go . I don't know what it is about me but the bugs dont like my taste. Family and friends will be eaten alive and I won't even get bit . Of course my wife has an opinion as to why they don't bite me she may or may not be correct.

 

Five hockey rinks surrounded by bears.

 

Sure do.

The ones in Windsor stay year round...plenty of food for them, and the traffic will actually stop when geese are crossing the road!
Seriously, you can actually get a traffic jam going here due to geese...it's something else.

I'm the guy that saves everyone else by being the main course for the bugs.

We might be up to 6 hockey rinks now. :thumbup:

 

Those summaries mentioned dissatisfaction with "pages of bickering" and "one-upsmanship".

Just take a look at the recently defunct "1095" thread you started. 300-ish posts, a full 106 of them yours.

Folks offered their thoughts on your post, and your responses were mostly "Nuh-uh" and "You don't understand".

But yes, I know I know.... you were baited, and trolled, and didn't contribute at all to the thread closure.

I agree, bickering in a thread contributes little to nothing to a thread... but if you participate in the bickering, don't whine about it.

I find it effortless to scroll past useless posts and pan the gold from any thread on this board.... well almost any thread.

 

Wrong place

 

And on these discordant notes ...
