  1. A million paragraphs that boil down to...'Bauer is no longer in charge.'
  2. A guy who went by 'furbelly' back on OB, was pretty fun too. Not sure where he ended up. I can't begin to imagine...his take on the 'roaring Rourke' discussion. Well, don't broaden your horizons. 🤣
  3. Ok, I'm game, just this once: He would hardly ever post in existing threads, but create his own 'originally titled' fake news satire threads - usually several threads per week, or even per day. Eg. "Dougie Brown isn't accomplishing anything, other than sumo wrestling opposing OL." But then he'd call Doug's radio show and gush all over him. Usually hilarious, always beyond ridiculous.
  4. Good thing MBT is going Ottawa. He will be a great help in easing the fears of the next convoy.
  5. Nate is the proverbial, ethereal, legend - the diamond in the smooth. There really is no Chat GPT - there are only the adjectives that Nate allows to live.
  6. They took a beating due to the 2021 drought. Then 2022 was excessively wet - led to stagnant, standing water. I am also noticing a white film on the trunks...fungus?
  7. An environmental topic that is near to my heart: TREES In summer, I am out and about harvesting dead hardwoods for firewood. I am seeing more dead ash, oak and maple than I'm used to - especially the oak. In the past, dead oak was either beaver chewed or the creek washed soil away from their roots. This is no longer the case - some massive oaks are just dead.

    Yes, that is a precise encapsulation of his humanity.

    For this week... AJ Oullette
  10. With Bond, it was well worth it, IMO. What a great way to take advantage of the fact that you have a Canadian tail back.
  11. Telegram - the app that was supposed to rival/replace Whats App - is now infested with bots.
  12. Saw a bunch of guys who looked to be low on electrolytes.
  13. 1. DL - sacks, and hurries that led to rushed throws. Eventually adjusted their run stopping 2. ZC. Got hit a lot tonight. Still same old steady hand at the controls. 231 passing yards. 3. OL. The 9 minute drive made up for A LOT. Definitely hitting people in the mouth... all second half

    Chinese immigrants - used to call Domimion Day "Humiliation Day'

    Some real nice condos on Waterfront drive - not that far from downtown.
  17. Maybe that's the catch - with cheaper airlines
  18. Had to cancel some Flair flights yesterday. We got 55% of our costs back, as credits

    Treaty education coming to Manitoba Schools. https://news.gov.mb.ca/news/?archive=&item=59968 The end game is a compulsory grade 12 Indigenous Studies course.
  20. This one did.

    Well, it gets even more complicated when the persecuted later become the persecutors Short answer: each situation needs to be viewed differently Example: we can still feel the reverberations of residential schools, and they cannot and should not be ignored

    Yep - we've also lost count of how many times he's been deceased

    To an extent - but they were also used to fund all those lavish churches and cathedrals - they were definitely Luther's biggest grievance against the church.
  25. Mark H. replied to Mark H.'s post in a topic in General Discussion
    Not quite. The church as a whole was guilty of the practice of selling indulgences, not just corrupt individuals. Luther got many things wrong - but he was right about that one enormously prevalent fact. Beside his alcohol consumption, he was also extremely anti-semetic, among other thigs we could mention My people stem from a group (Anabaptist) that rejected all of Luther's ideas (or the lack of them)
