Corp plans are the best. I couldn't imagine ever going back to a non-Corp plan.
Not sure which show I'll be going to. If I go to the Kitchener one, I'll be flying solo. My buddies are going to another concert that night.

Not sure if I will be in the country. When do tickets go on sale?

Haha, I don't think I could even if I wanted to. I think I read on RFD that you'd have to revert back to a consumer plan if you try to transfer ownership or port in a number.
Yeah, seriously. I can't believe it costs $75/month for a 1GB plan even if you bring your own device.
When I was working in Australia, I was using this prepaid thing that was $30 for 45 days and it had 5 gigs of 3G data. On the other hand, the home internet in Australia that I had was awful. The speeds were fine, but the data caps are ridiculous (50 GB) and it cost $50 per month too. I was using Telstra, which is one of their big providers, though.
You can go with me.
Regular on sale Friday Aug 5th. Presales 3rd and 4th.
I think Joe, Nakamura, Aries, Roode, and Asuka will still be around.

Nakamura: I have seen him live once already but he's always a big draw.
Samoa Joe:
Asuka
Bayley
To a lesser extent Austin Aries, Bobby Roode and The Revival.
Yeah, NXT is a bit drained at the moment.

There's a lot of money laundering going on in HK entertainment and mainland China is where the money is, it's basically funny money in biblical proportions.

I have Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon Pearl.
I either have them buried in a pile of all my old games or my brother has them in Ottawa. I'll take a look tomorrow after work and get back to you. But definitely if I can find them I'll sell em to ya.
Edit: ended up having a quick look. Found both, only issue is I right now can't find the box for Black 2.
So I learned something new about tenant and landlords;
My friend is a landlord, and he has been dealing with a nightmare tenant. 4-5 months months of no rent. The tenant pleaded with him about rent and how he is very sick and needs time.
The landlord only gave him one month of time. On the second month he filed with the board. The court hearing was scheduled for the month after. So a month later that's now three months of no rent. Then the tenant called the court and delayed the hearing for a bullshit reason, and it was delayed by two weeks.
Finally on the day the tenant doesn't show up.
The court ruled in favor of the landlord, but STILL gave the tenant 3 weeks to pay. They specified a date that if the tenant doesn't pay, the landlord can file a sheriff order of eviction.
My buddy just went to the sheriff's office to file, and they told him the sheriff will be there to enforce it in three weeks.....but even after all of this; supposedly the tenant can call the board and promise to pay by a certain date, and they will usually listen to him and give him time.
What a fucking nightmare.
Now I really get why some places want banking info and credit checks. I know this is a nightmare scenario but Jesus Christ.

A buddy of mine was renting out his condo after he got married and moved into a house. He complained that he got stiffed 4 months rent by the time he had the tenant evicted. Our foreman told him he was lucky it was only 4 months of rent and that they didn't trash the place before they left.
My buddy is just worried, because he has been looking into it, and seems like a good number of landlords cant recoup the rent. I mean, if the tenant runs off to some other town or province, the cost of chasing the person down and lawyers and court and the whole process. Seems like a shitshow.
I believe he said it has to od with Canada and how the law treats debt, as in the states you could go to jail, where as here its just another line on your credit file and they cant do shit.
My grandpa has a friend in the UK who owns a couple buildings and he gets around that stuff by offering to give them money if they are out in 2 days.
eg If they are one day late in paying rent he says "I will give you $1500 if you are out by Monday". Cheaper then no rent for 6 months and fixing a trashed place.

He should count on never seeing a penny.
My brother and his husband own a few apartment buildings in Sudbury. I have been convinced by their experience that is something I never ever want anything to do with. He bends over backwards for his tenants though.
It took them a truly ridiculous amount of time to evict a major problem tenant, I want to say over a year. It was a couple of hoarders who came with the building when they bought it. I had to help clean out the unit and let me tell you it was something else...layers of mouse shit on every flat surface and garbage up to your knees. Took us something like 3 loads of a huge dumpster before it was all out of there, and that was just getting the junk gone. No idea what the repairs ended up costing them.

I don't really care that much about the boxes! How do you wanna set this up? I live in Mississauga so it would be fine for me to come downtown, or we could wait until the next TO-gaf meetup, I'm in no rush!

The next one is this weekend! D:
Lol same. I was driving past so I decided to get out and make a quick loop around Main St. Unionville 'cause there's always tons of lures set up there. Started raining lightly but it wasn't a big deal so I kept walking. I actually got lucky, I had just sat down at a picnic table under a shelter to train at the gym there and suddenly it started pouring. A couple minutes earlier and I'd have been drenched. Just waited there for 10 minutes to let the rain ease up.
Main Street Unionville?

July is already almost over though...IT'S HAPPENING
Huh, I guess we do only have them in TRONNA. Not sure how popular it is in Tokyo since I don't recall seeing it the 3 times I went there.
IT'S HAPPENING
That's closer to me than the downtown location.
*checks calendar*
Hey, it's already July 2016!

There are no locations in Tokyo. In fact, Toronto probably has more locations than all of Japan at this point. (They never expanded outside of Fukuoka, and seem to be more popular now as an international brand, with China and various countries throughout SE Asia driving the majority of their revenue.)
And I was bone dry.
I was waiting out the storm on a patio on Baldwin, and it came down so hard at one point the patio actually washed out, despite the canopy. That was some intense rain.

I had the central air on all week because it never really cooled down. Family got home, though, and turned it off, opening windows...because it was actually pretty cool last night.
I'm dying here today. Fuck you, heat.

As I life and literally breath.
Left the meetup and arrived at Yonge and Blood Station at midnight. both North/South Bound Platforms were in literal smoke that cover a good 25 feet or more. had 3 firefighters and a sledgehammer go into the smoke. I was like "NOPE" and decided to go northbound instead.
was solved 15 mins later but damn. GOOD OLD TTC!

Short notice, but have a spare ticket for tonight's TFC game. Anyone interested?
Congrats dude!
I always kind of want to... but *insert generic Vancouver excuse*
Thanks. My SIL actually drove herself to the hospital at 2am so my brother could stay at home with my niece until my dad went to pick her up at 6am. She drove herself to the hospital for the first kid also because my brother had a separated Achilles and wasn't able to drive at the time. This week she started her mat leave and my brother joked that she could've worked one more week.

Grats on niece, Fuzzy!
Cottage again Kat? I know that feel. When my friends and I were up north, we planned on doing a lot of shit, but ended up lounging around half the time. We were also downing a lot of drinks throughout each day, so we got pretty slow and mellow as the day went on.
