Not that I want to get too deep in this, since politics is one of those minefields where no one comes out intact once they venture in, but I've seen people expressing worries that the insurance companies, of all entities, may make less money. OMG NO! WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE POOR INSURANCE...

In fairness, if you ask, and they comply, I don't see the problem.

I don't play them, but I have a question for those who do: Without BS, what sort of luck do you have pulling from them as regular players? I'm sure anyone can drop some few coins and get lucky, but for those for who it's a more serious hobby, how does it work out? Do you even come out ahead at...

Never heard of it. But then I don't associate Toronto with food. :)

Dropped by the West Island Chenoy's for the first time in a long time. I don't remember their Old Fashioned being as good as it was. (It was good this time!) Also, isn't Pete related to the Schwartz's people somehow? Excellent smoked meat.

Any chance we could move past arguments as to who's the harder man, and focus on the rest of the thread, which has been interesting and possibly useful? Not to cast aspersions, really, but most of the really dangerous people I've met haven't made any effort to communicate that fact. Or felt the...

Happy Birthday, fellow Red Sox aficionado!

Well, I'm not first, and I'm not funniest, and I've never caused a woman to pass out (which, really, could be a good thing), so I'll play the pity card. ;) My holidays were unexpectedly interrupted by a trip to Lakeshore's finest hospital (which is to say it's only hospital) where I spent eight...

Read the first two pages, then skipped to the end, so if this has been covered, forgive me in advance. Edgar, if you keep this to yourself, you are not a "nice guy," you are a sucker. And what's worse, you are enabling them to continue this sort of behavior, and possibly worse. Think about...

Well, we could point out, quite reasonably I think, that no one is planning to make a baseball stadium, or opera house, or amusement park there for, well, one reason. It seems that what people are willing to pay for is more places to live, whether they're to your taste, or mine, or not. After...

Well, in fairness, it does depend on the team's style of play. The Oilers in their day managed to leave Fuhr open to a cruel barrage of shots because they weren't so much worried about it. Not that I'm equating the Habs' current offense to the 80s Oilers... alas. :cool:

I've noticed comments to this effect in a growing number of CL ads, etc., and while it might be a good marketing tool (assuming the pics are appealing), to reassure the client that they will see the same person at the door as in the photo... I mean, other than walk away (as always), I'm not...

Well-spoken Merlot. I know more than once I've just shut up about a pleasant experience, if it's with someone already reviewed and I had nothing significant to add, simply because you tend to get smeared as a shill and, regretfully, doubly so when you're the first or second poster on a new...

I would like to offer my handle for auction to agency owners or indies who want to post something without being immediately recognized as a shill. I've got a couple dozen posts, been active for a couple of years, so it won't look like you're posting from some newly-registered user name with...

Never been to the Loews, but the W is part of a chain of large-ish boutique style hotels. whotels.com is I believe the URL. It's located in Old Montreal, but not far from downtown either, and it's a pretty cool place.

I think she was suggesting that there are a lot of women at Thursday's, and that you might find one willing to spend the night at a posh hotel for the price of some expensive drinks. Not a "sure thing" (SP) necessarily.

So I'll be in town with a couple extra brown bills or entertainment budget (after supper, party favors, etc.) and am looking for opinions. Which is likely to give a relaxed but possibly fulfilling experience? I don't want to go SP because sometimes the mood just isn't there and I'd be wasting...

Agree with the above poster. If the extra cost of a Mac is within your reach, go for it IMO.

Other than SC, which cost a bit much for just hanging out (go to them after the relaxing beers, or whatever!) anyone have suggestions for places to chill out, casual, possibly hook up (sp or not), tolerant of partying, near or around Downtown or West Island? Basically, somewhere to go, enjoy...
