    NHL 2015-16 Season Thread

    Something along those lines. Like maybe his vision was fucked up and he didn't notice him, or he mistook him for a Predator, or he was just not all there in one way or another. Thing is, Wideman himself didn't go down that road really. He just claims he didn't see him until it was too late to...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    In all honesty, someone in today's day and age raised in a Western society who would actually stoop so low as to get a mail order bride is likely a sad, pathetic individual who has some serious issues.

    She used to be pretty damn hot, but then she went and got a fuckload of work done on her face and she now looks like a Real Doll or something.

    Dennis Wideman suspended for hitting official - NHL on CBC Sports - Hockey news, opinion, scores, stats, standings This Wideman thing is kind of bizarre.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Nope. I have helped one or two friends out as well, with more or less the same thought process: I'm not likely to get it back any time soon if ever, but if there's a genuine need there, then it's not something I'll lose sleep over. But that's like a few hundred bucks to a thousand, nothing in...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    120k a year is my salary. In the past 18 months I've pulled out about a million in dividends in to my holding company, most of which I could then flow down personally without tax because my hold co owed me a shitload of money from buying my dad out back in 2010. It varies massively from year to...

    Interesting, I had no idea builders would operate like that. My sister and bro when they were building custom homes made monthly progress payments. But those were houses in the 700k-1m range, including the lot. And rebuilds in mature neighborhoods. I'd imagine things are quite different if...

    Yeah, a lot of chest straps on backpacks have them integrated in to one of the buckles. They don't do you much good when you're upside down and suffocating, though.

    It's doesn't mean "nothing" to me. That buys a nice motorcycle! But no, it doesn't make any significant difference to my finances or spending. A few years ago it would have been a bigger deal, but my company's had a few pretty good years and I haven't really been spending any of it. I more or...

    Ah, you're right. My bad. Just under 20k. 7k to help her replace a stolen car when we'd been dating for about a year.

    heh, played a late beer league game tonight. And it was kind of reassuring chatting with one of the guys on my team who is a kinesiologist and personal trainer. He works with a fair number of NHL players in the off season, and is pretty good buds with a few. Apparently one of them just got...

    No, she really wasn't interested in my money dude. I don't know how you take that away from it all. If she was, she'd have gotten her hands on a shitload more of it and/or walked out the door with no intention of ever making good on it. I have a good friend who went through an ugly breakup a...

    As far as pot goes, I definitely have some dependency issues if I keep it around. When I don't, then it's not really an issue, just the occasional puff after hockey or while camping/hiking/skiing with buds. So no, I don't think it's a major issue for me at all or anything, just one of many...

    Three days! Kept getting better and better as the temps got colder and sucked the moisture out of the snow, as the initial snowfall was a bit on the heavy side. It wasn't hero, tits deep powder or anything but it was enough to bury pretty much every track in their tenure, so we were riding...

    That position with the ex was one of both of our favorites. Although typically I'd be kneeling on the bed, not standing beside it (bed is too low for that). Something about the angle worked great for her, although I'd have to be careful to not bottom out if I also brought one of her legs up to...

    Investing

    Market timing is a mug's game. You're just as likely to miss out on a big gain by sitting on the sidelines as you are to buy in to a falling market and lose some value. And 20 years down the road, the 3-5% difference in either direction when you buy in is going to be totally inconsequential anyways.

    I've got a pretty similar set, but with metal handles. However instead of using a block, I have a piece of metal mounted to the tile backsplash beside my stove that's about 18" long and magnetic. Looks cool and doesn't take any counter space.

    We cool, bro, we cool. If you'd just stated things like above, I'd have had no issue. Like I said, I doubt it's a significant difference in terms of actual calories, but it's been noticeable in terms of my body temperature, resting heart rate, and appetite.
