No bonus code on this one. Sorry, doesn’t seem like a “bonus code time” to me. I agree with the one comment at the end of the story…there should be some form of public humiliation as well as incarceration…but that’s just my opinion! I’m no saint, I did some dumb s#@t as a teen but this is way beyond vandalism!

It seems, for whatever reason, every year now we’re running into a stupid story like this:
The removal of a Royal Canadian Legion member from Ford Motor Company of Canada property for selling poppies “was a misunderstanding”. Legion members are welcome on Ford property, said Lauren Moore. But the company prefers to be notified of a group’s intentions before it goes on the automaker’s property, she added. Ok, you know what…give your head a shake. It happens around the same time every year…it’s no big secret…so just be ready for it and allow it to happen…end of story!!! This past Friday, Keith Bremner, a member of Legion Branch 255, was escorted by security from the Essex Engine Plant as he tried to sell poppies there. This of course made him furious as well as Mike Vince, the president of C A W Local 200, which represents Windsor’s Ford workers, and himself a veteran of the Canadian Forces. Adding insult to injury…Bremner, a retired Ford worker, told CBC News he called ahead to plant security to tell them he’d be coming, but did not also inform company officials.

OK, before anyone gets their back up, hear me out!
Everyone needs to calm the heck down, take a step back, and a deep breath regarding . Yes, it is a serious matter. Yes we need to be vigilant and cautious, but at the same time lets not lose grip of reality people.
Now, it could just be me, but does anyone else get the notion that some people are milking this for what it’s worth? You know what I mean! Everyone is so freaked out over this that the public has been made very, very aware of the symptoms making it easy for people to fake it. YA, I said it! You’re thinking it, I’m saying it!
Panic, fear and terror sells goods and commodities! It does. Look what took place following the 9/11 attacks. Everyone was instructed to “be prepared” with “Anti-Terror essentials”.
Duct Tape, bottled water and so on. This vaccine ain’t cheap, especially with the urgency placed on its production. Someones pockets are getting really fat…with our tax dollars and health care money!
And, I’m done!

Breast cancer strikes men, too. Just ask Peter Criss formerly of KISS, who is speaking out about his successful treatment during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. At the gym in 2007, Criss noticed a  in his left breast, he told CNN. Doctors removed a cancerous tumor. Criss, 63, got early treatment and is now cancer-free.
Stats, stat! Male breast cancer
* is most common between ages 60 and 70;
* is 100 times less common than female breast cancer.
* will strike 1,910 American men in 2009
* will kill 440 men in 2009.
Some men hate doctor visits, for many reasons. But as Criss attests, prompt medical attention improves your odds of beating breast cancer. Be alert to these symptoms.
Skin dimpling or puckering
Development of a new retraction or indentation of the nipple
Changes in the nipple or breast skin, such as scaling or redness
Nipple discharge
Prevention pointers: Don’t drink heavily and do maintain a healthy weight. For some men, doctors may suggest mammograms.
You’re not alone fellas: Other well-known men who faced breast cancer include former NFL player Ernie Green, The Price Is Rights’ announcer Rod Roddy and the original star of “Shaft.” Richard Roundtree

1. Returned to the Y after taking the summer off for soccer season. The weather lately has been gloomy to say the least…overcast, little or no sunshine. So I’m up in the free weight area, and there’s this guy, working out, WEARING SUNGLASSES at 10 in the morning on a cloudy day…INSIDE!!!! I thought “ok, there must be a good reason, weird, but whatever”. After I finish my workout, I head to the sauna for a real good sweat and there’s a different guy in the sauna…WEARING FRIGGIN’ SUNGLASSES…and no they weren’t transitions…WTF?
2. Then today, the first guy wearing the sunglasses in the free weight area had them on again…does it hurt trying to be cool? What is the purpose? Are you being a perv, cause the girls are on to you, unless it’s not the…

2012 Doomsday

The 2012 phenomenon is a present-day cultural meme proposing that cataclysmic or transformative events will occur in the year 2012. The forecast is based primarily on what is claimed to be the end-date of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, which is presented as lasting 5,125 years and as terminating on December 21 or 23, 2012. Much speculation has attached itself to this date, including interpretations of assorted legends, scriptures, numerological constructions and prophecies, and alleged channeling from extraterrestrials…read the rest on the most trusted source for information on the internet…WIKIPEDIA…kidding, but it’s interesting.

Now, I don’t know a lot about that kind of stuff, but what I do know is what I read and what I see, and I gotta say, I don’t like what I see and read…we, as a society, need to pull our socks up and start giving a s*#t about one another again and treating eachother with more respect. How do we do this you may ask? SIMPLE

How about returning the smile of a stranger instead of frowning and wondering what the f*#& they’re smiling for. Hold the door for someone, and that someone, take the time to say thank you…and the next time you “bump” into someone’s car in the parking lot…LEAVE A BLOODY NOTE you chickens*#t…feel free to leave a comment!

So, it’s kind of a slow news days. The media scrapping between the Steelworkers Union and Vale Inco has simmered, talk of a Federal Election has cooled…and thank goodness…we don’t need to spend $400 million for the 5th time in 6 years, or whatever ridiculous amount it costs us taxpayers…personally, I say the NDP should partner up with the Conservatives or we give Harper a majority and try and get some work done!

On a brighter note, the Wolves are on a streak after opening the season 0 - 2. They picked up 3 straight wins and forward Eric O’Dell, no. 91, was named Boston Pizza OHL Player of the Week. Great job Eric! Now, the key for the Wolves will be consistency, beginning with leadership from the veterans like O’Dell. Should be a good season!
