About $30 CAD a week as a paperboy for le Journal de Montreal from age 13–16, 1989-92

My highest indulgence was a pair of Air Jordans for about $150, lot of $ back then….

Adam Canto aged 42 from cancer.

Star of films x-men,Past,Designated Survivor etc, plus various TV shows 

RIP

Just learned about this 2 weeks ago. Mum and I really liked The Cleaning Lady, although it always struck me as a show that wouldn’t last more than a few seasons. She asked me when S3 would begin, then I saw the news.
 

He was basically the second most popular character, don’t see why they would continue on without him

Sick fecker……this is a family forum Sir

Come to Montreal and we open a vegan Thai food truck, Allan? Standard deal for you, the foreigner puts up 100% of the capital and I keep 83% of the revenues

PM me for details mate

Get the diamond ring ready ! 
 

@Phantom51red Nice post, but with all the missing people/murder mystery stuff I watch…….Got to be honest, was almost expecting a grave to be dug up when I pressed PLAY…..

Just about to watch some Netflix, channel flipping I hit the brakes when I saw this beautiful Asian creature on Jimmy Kimmel……

Turns out I had been already started my obsession with her years ago, it’s Anna Sawai from F9, Pachinko, Giri/Haji…..
 

Wish her all the success in the world, she’s sounding more American than ever, think she was raised in Tokyo & NZ. Said the thing in America she just can’t wrap her around is the portion sizes in restaurants…..Think she might be right, but we’re all in denial

PP hasn't been an overly successful trip so far ... first two nights stomach issues kept me confined to my room , two fun nights out , then developed man flu ( head cold , runny nose , sneezing.. ) so stayed in two more nights ... internet was temperamental at my hotel .. so couldn't watch the football ( not sure if that was a good thing .. 555 ) 

So only tonight left to go out out .., travel day on Wednesday so will take it easy tomorrow

Not enough desserts maybe ? 

Just getting some steps in around Costco…..Honestly very disappointed in their meat selection/prices , saw a 3-pack of the most beautiful ribeyes, almost 2 kg total, but $75 CAD. 
 

Now in the vitamin aisle, however, found out COVERING your meat 🥩 is a true bargain …..

It’s not even food, from what I understand

Domino’s is just the best pizza.

Vegans don’t get a vote in this fight……

You getting non-stop emails for 50% across the pond too? I joined the club before COVID, I noticed they cut the Monday discount to 40% recently, maybe they’re trying to get customers back? I use them maybe 3 times a year, usually on those Mondays

BTW fellow BM, I am learning the hard way…..Do NOT LET FROZEN PIZZAS SIT AROUND, AT ALL! I noticed this in the last year, some are worse than others, but Friday was no more than an hour,  huge line-up to pay, another 15 getting my hot dog, 10- minute drive home, then another 20-25 warming up the stove to 450F….Then after all that I probably left it 90 seconds too long, to compensate for the dough crumpling on one side. LET IT SIT IN THE COLD UNTIL YOU SLIDE IT IN THE OVEN !!!

 Edible, as you can see, but spoiled a pricey pie….they were $20/2 at Costco, which for frozen is a lot. Oh well next one will be perfect….

Salmon, horseradish on wholemeal at 320 baht. Was lovely, as a Saturday morning treat, and a change from Thai. Expensive but great quality, and presentation 

Same thing in Manhattan is something like $22…..and yours looks better

It is interesting how most Pattaya Vloggers have changed their tune over the years ..

10 years ago it was all sneering "This is where cheap charlie broke expats eat" to "You should try this place for real Thai food, cheap and delicious" .....

Like me paying 1,100 THB for 2 vodkas where they shot the helicopter scene for Hangover 2 back in ‘09…..I too would now brag if I find a chicken fried rice 5B cheaper than the next guy

Honey, how the hell did you manage to total my new car? 
 

I was already doing 200 km/h, and thought I’d try to go from 5th to Rapid

My haul from Costco….a little carb-heavy, but for under 3,000 baht AND including 5 pairs of boxers/5 pounds of pizza, 9 ice cream bars that probably go for $8 each at an event……with inflation where it is, I’ll take it

This one shocked me, thought he was still practicing law up until very recently….Not the most well liked man up here, due to his introduction of the Goods & Services Tax 35 years ago, but a very well respected lawyer. Like the Donald, married a European-born beauty

Woo-hoo! 🙌 

I told Mum it felt like 14C, wasn’t far off….Almost 19 hours and ~ -10C …..must say the house retained its heat quite well. Crazy thing, we might be getting +16C by Tuesday…..just nuts! Golf courses are opening already

Saw my psychiatrist earlier, and she was actually happy with me compared to our previous visit.

She wants to see me again and is considering taking me off her patient schedule if she is happy with me next meeting. So looking positive.

Just need the weather to improve and get a bike and get out riding.

Thanks just remembered I last saw mine 9/29, and he gave me an appointment around Easter…..Think it will be my last one, everyone thinks I went nuts but you get whatever I got, then don’t sleep for a month and we’ll see if you don’t feel like jumping in front of a train, too…..

My guy is a total tool….Things did go better, but only once I got infinitely better….Cannot believe they go to medical school just to sit and say “How are you, OK, OK, that sounds about right”…..F—k me

1 pm now….The cavalry has shown up at our door…..Should be any minute, no? Maybe it’s not such a simple fix, who knows? 
 

Edit: 3 trucks, I think one was checking a local box 2 doors down, and the other 2 wanted to chat or choose where to have lunch…..nothing yet…FML
