I think if you're willing to accept a walking distance of 10 or 15 minutes you should get much better deals.

Wow, that's crazy. Luckily they said the tenant only had time to show it to 12 people, so at least I'm not up against hundreds of people.

I'm completely open to that, so long as it's walking distance. Every decent apartment seems to be a rat race.
Yeah that plastic part totally came right off but you can still see the numbers perfectly fine. And it is still 90% white and red dammit!
I do love the fact that the signature on the back is from a young Kave Man of age 5.
LOL, yeah I just looked at mine and it's pretty funny to compare to what my signature is now.
War on

14 months and a few months probation for torching a cruiser. I'll never get use to how short most sentences are in Canada.

The Black Bull on Queen West. A simple but very good burger. I was surprised myself.
I haven't eaten at the Black Bull in a couple of years (I've been there half a dozen times), but they never really impressed me aside from having a good patio. But at least they're not terribly overpriced. I may have to give them another try.
Well by the sounds of it, they only got him on the 2 counts of mischief which I doubt carries a large penalty because it is a blanket charge for a variety of offences. Sounds like he lost, what I would imagine to be, a cradle to the grave job at the TTC.
The part that angers me now is that as taxpayers we now get to pick up the tab for the destroyed police car, the police time, the courts, his prison sentence, and I'm sure some sort of welfare as he won't be employable when he is released.

What area of town was that apartment in?
PS every single apartment I've ever lived in, I've got it by walking around and looking for "for rent" signs. Anytime an apartment was on viewit or craigslist, it meant that 10 other people would be applying and I would never get it. A nice hidden "for rent" sign though meant I could just say "I will take it!" right after seeing the place.
When fifty people show up, you'll be sorry!
Well, we've found our last couple of apartments on craigslist, but we've never looked downtown for an apartment. We've viewed a few on Roncesvalles, but we were met with a dozen other people viewing a small, ill kept apartment with stinky wet dog smelling carpet.
The best part about viewit.ca and craigslist is discovering the property management sites, and getting ahead of other people (ie; before the company post on craigslist). A bunch of viewit.ca listings are just perma listings, and it doesn't always mean they have an opening.
But yeah, if you have time, just walk around a neighbourhood you like and call numbers (or take a photo) of the FOR RENT signs.
It's possible, but there's a lot going on this weekend, Beerfest for one.

2273 Dundas St West, above the Go West Reality office. Basically Roncesvales/Dundas West Subway.
It all worked out as we moved to a much better apartment less than 10 mins away. Now I have a huge backyard/patio, high end kitchen, all inclusive utilities and better landlords...for $100 less than we were paying before.

I'm at some big geek festival in Burlington called ConBravo.
What happened to me over the last decade that I feel so out of place?

You grew up man. I've felt the same with a lot of cons. I stand around and realize just how much older I am and how out of touch I am with the regular con goers. I used to go to Anime North all the time but about 2 years ago I realized I don't care much for any of the series out now and I don't understand the kids.
Did you try the always patented pull out the battery and put it back in trick?
I tend to have that problem in certain parts of my work building. I noticed there's a difference between it saying "3g" and "3G" with the capital letter one being the one that actually lets you connect to the internet.

What is the Canadian equivalent to Amazon Instant Video? I'm having no luck searching the internet. Don't tell me there's no such thing

I've had that happen occasionally, sometimes coming out of the subway. usually you can flick the Airplane mode on/off to goose it. Rogers app only works on 3G so that explains it.. the 'small g' 3G indicator is creepy though, never seen that.

Huh...so apparently, the Zellers in Gerrard Square is becoming a Walmart
And I have another year left on my shitty Bell contract....
WHY DID I SIGN A 3 YEAR CONTRACT?!?!?!?!?

I'm so glad I'm almost finished with my contract with Rogers. Since I have an unlocked iPhone, I don't need a new phone, so I feel like I have more flexibility when it comes to looking through providers. Sucks that I can't do Wind, though.
Where are my Targets at, damn it.

Seems like a fruitless endeavour cutting them up. It's just one set of passes, but why not donate it to a needy family instead? He seems to be taking these financial austerity measures to the extreme.

Yup, he could give those to the members of a youth program in a troubled neighborhood that he refuses to vote to fund!
Or maybe someone can explain to him the benefits of having the leaders of the city show up at the CNE who would not be interested in going if they had to pay
Not everyone has brothers that will buy you a new Escalade for your birthday!

But what if they're just freeloading commies? I don't think that's a risk Ford is willing to take.
The sad part is he probably thinks like this. He thinks the "hard workers" includes people like himself, and all those "bike riding pinkos and commies" are rich.

Fair enough, this IRV system is just as bad though. Seriously.
Oh my god, they gave away the fact that Lex Luthor was behind the whole thing? D:
I still can't believe that Bruce Wayne is Batman. Blew my mind.

The glass floor is already scary enough for me. I would have a heart attack doing the edge walk.
It's a useful photo ID card for those of us who don't drive. However I notice that yet another photo ID is required for various stuff nowadays, what the heck is a non-driver to do?
Haha I remember my old card, age 7 complete with cray cray babby's first handwriting signature.
My wife doesn't drive, so she has a Ontario Photo Card, that basically serves the same purpose for identification.
I rarely drive these days, but I do keep my license for Zipcar and emergencies.
