I'm in a "try new good sounding restaurants" phase. Went to Enoteca Sociale this past weekend for dinner. Oh man, food is delicious (foodie food) - fresh, in-house-made pastas, inventive appetizers, tasty desserts, and a fantastic wine list with lots of bottles I've never heard of, but am now eager to try. Our server was stellar - knowledgeable, helpful, and just the right level of attentiveness.
Wholly recommend if you're in the mood for a good Italian place.
Also, for you carnivores: they had a 20oz steak on the menu.
But if you're going: make a reso. Place was packed on a Sunday night.

Kijji works fine. MAKE SURE YOU SPECIFY NO FUCKING HAGGLING!
Man Torontonians are full of cheap ass bastards. One fucking dude told me to be on time and not be late. Fucking dude was 30 min late himself and tries to haggle after I posted and told him over the phone no haggling.
Spent another 30 min sticking to my guns.
Bu bu bu I have no job. Well neither did I you late fuck! And if you have no job, don't buy shit you can't afford.
I think I've sold four things in person and it's generally ok if you're upfront.
Yeah that's the sad thing with kijiji, it's full of people who are cheap because they're overextended and want luxury goods they seriously can't afford.
This is not about people being poor or jobless, it's about people who feel entitled to more than they deserve.

..and according to Kuro, the reason is because they are Torontonians.

Kijiji. It seems more active in general.
A bit random, but I absolutely love The Wedge.
http://www.muchmusic.com/music/thewedge/playlist/
It's the only music show that is reminiscent of the old days, when music stations actually played music. The music programming on it is great as well, wide array of independent artists.
I do not watch Much Music whatsoever, everything about it is just abysmal. Everything except The Wedge, if it were to be cancelled I would feel sad.
I remember when there was outrage at the mere suggestion of cutting BBC6's funding. An outcry from various independent artists from all across Britain prevented it from being cut. I wonder if there would be the same outcry here, if the Wedge were to be canceled. I doubt it.

why would you invite them over? I'd never do that. go to a mall parking lot or something
I wouldn't meet someone I don't know at all in a mall parking lot. If I'm going to meet them then it's inside the mall. I've meet a GAFer at a TTC drop off though.

That's true. I would way rather get murdered in a parking lot than in my house. It would sound cooler when it's reported on the news the next day!
I think the point was to meet somewhere public. You don't want random strangers in your home.
GAF has its own BST section as well.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=457688
Yes, never meet at your home. I wouldn't even meet someone at my place of work if it could be helped. Just meet at a Tim Horton's, or something.
It is snowing... but I wouldn't call it a SNOW STORM!

The Wedge is still around?
Amazing.
Also, before The Wedge, there was City Limits.
I just drove through a total white out.
sometimes you gotta meet ppl at your house (furniture, etc), but outside of that avoid as best you can. if its late i like coffee shops or gas stations (cameras). anywhere public and always let a friend / family member know that you're going to meet someone.
Weird, I'm downtown but it didn't look bad at all when I read your post.
It's bright and sunny now.
Fellow harp student told me that for furniture, she moved it into her garage then showed it from there. If you have any storage/garage available to you, it's a good alternative.

GAF has a huge Toronto contingent. Same reason NHL-GAF was ruled by Leafs fans until Manics and Penis got banned.
Though you'd never know it, apparently, based on the things I've heard about GAF meetups.

Those go poorly for the same reason you don't want to see furniture on Craigslist from your house.
There are at least three cold blooded killers posting on here.
We need to get Boogie to show up so he can protect us. I'll bribe him with some donuts.

Leafs.
We only stick with our smart phone. Haven't had a line land in almost a decade. With WIND Mobile. Pretty decent service, but if you're on the outskirts of the city (or in a lowrise) make sure you get decent reception in your building.
Internet, streaming services and one cell phone > packaged deals from big telecoms.

teksavvy home phone
I was considering using a cellphone, but it'll cost the same as a landline. Especially since some people in my family use it pretty often and we have 3 phones in the house.
We also do a lot of long distance (to Vietnam), but we have a pretty cheap service for that.
I don't think I want to try VoIP, because my friends have had pretty bad reception with them.
I call to the States a lot, but we mostly stick with Google Talk for PC to PC voice chat, or Skype if I actually need to call a number. That's how we get around having to pay for long distance on the phone.
I'd prefer to just have the cell phone over just a land line, so we can actually bring it out with us. We so infrequently use the phone for actual calling though, and mostly use it for the 3G.

OT3 in a few months. Just have a rough sketch of it now, with some basic graphics. Going for a different look.

Sarah Burke died today. I are sad.
Though it's tragic, at the very least she was an organ donor - she'll save a lot of people.

Photo of Rob Ford with food recommendations on his stomach?
So, Toronto, what's up with the super intelligent mice? Are all the mice in Toronto like mine or are mine special? First I bought these black clamp traps and put some bread and shit in them and they managed to steal the bait without setting the traps off. I put peanut butter in them and they ignored it. Then I bought these super oldschool traps and put peanut butter in them and they somehow managed to lick the peanut butter off the traps without springing them. Then I put down some glue traps and got lucky with one. I put it down, went to the bathroom, and when I came out there was a mouse stuck to it. I took it outside and mercy killed it (which was very distressing) but I haven't managed to catch any more with them. (There are at least two left.) I put out poisonous seeds the other day but I think they're on to me because I don't think they're eating it.
A minute ago one came out from under the refrigerator and actually walked right up to me not giving a shit. I reached for it to try to grab it by the tail but it took off.
I think I'm going to have to just break down and get a professional exterminator in.

Spoilers!!
Trying to leave out Ford as much as possible.
Don't try to grab it. It'll definitely, instinctively, turn around and bite you if you do manage to grab its tail.
We had mice / rats in our basement apartment years ago. Managed to catch them with a long cage trap my father in-law uses for raccoon and other larger animals. Had to drown the poor things, which hurt me having rats as pets growing up. ;_;
I'm guessing you own your dwelling? If not, landlord / property owner should take on the burden of extermination.

Good!
I can help you with the food recommendations if you want. My wife and I go out to eat at least three times a week and I know lots of great places!

You need to put that pic of Ford drunk off his ass posing with girls pic and caption 'our leader'OT3 in a few months. Just have a rough sketch of it now, with some basic graphics. Going for a different look.
I'd prefer if OT3 was held off for another year. We're barely 1/4 to the max size with this thread.OT3 in a few months. Just have a rough sketch of it now, with some basic graphics. Going for a different look.
I know this much: they won't stay in your home if there are no reasons to be there.
The number one thing is keeping the place clean. Clean everywhere once a week top-down, including spots like behind the fridges, stoves and major furniture that's hard to move. Never leave open food or even crumbs and such. Doing stuff like this will guarantee no infestations of any kind unless it's a freak occurrence.
