Flowers. I read the original Handmaid's Tale novel a long long time ago and enjoyed it a lot. I just happen to think that Gilead is a fictional place and she doesn't.

A gun with 9998 empty chambers and 2 with bullets, I like those odds.

Well, we know from the CDC the survival rates by age group. 0-19: 99.997% 20-49: 99.98% 50-69: 99.5% 70+: 94.6% Source: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html

Interestingly enough, Margaret Atwood lives in the Annex just off Bedford. I've seen her gardening quite often.

This sounds interesting, how do you go about negotiating a living situation in a hotel, are there any chains you recommend, and how does the pricing compare to renting a place or longer term AirBnb?

I'm genuinely curious. Why is it okay for a woman to take a man to the cleaners in a divorce and not the other way around?

CRA wants a piece of everyone's body. CRA is the John that barges in, puts a gun to your face and demands PSE CIMSW GREEK and then says you can keep part of the money you already have and leaves you a bad review on TERB.

I think the difference is, the average person doesn't have the salary to save $100-200K/year after tax and living expenses (as per Emm's estimate earlier in this thread), which when you back out taxes and living expenses, would be like earning a $200-400K salary. We're talking a Senior to...

A friend of mine in SoCal owns a strip club and has been in the business for the better part of almost 15 years. A couple of years ago I asked him that after seeing thousands upon thousands of girls go through his club, how many did he meet that actually saved their money and retired...

That's about $20 million Canadian. Put it in a stock that generates 5% dividends and you're talking $1M per year to live on without touching the principal. Even at 1% interest you're looking at $200K a year to live on.

There's a saying, the cause of the cause is the true cause of the problem. I'd be curious to know, what do you think caused him to be like this? Did society and our current culture play a hand? The reason I ask is I can't help but think a guy that had his money and his looks in Asia, Latin...

Size of wallet or size of member. If you have one or the other then its all good :cool:
