Typical of spoiled people who are used to living on $200k a year suddenly finding out that they will be living on a normal wage they can't handle it



It's sad really



I know the feeling of a lay off. Mine came as a surprise for Christmas!
I had to suck it up and take a lower paying job to make ends meet. Some trades think they run the universe! Welders are notorious for it!
I'm afraid that some will be humbled by the economic situation....

There's not a day that goes by without me putting my hand in the tank. Why is that? Is that my inner OCD? Am I the only one? lol

Myka 01-06-2015 09:10 PM

I was just reading Kien's tank journal from the beginning (years ago lol) and noticed several people that used to frequent CanReef that I miss! Where'd they go?

.... although in my case, since I'm a tele skier, they kind of don't apply that well either. Note to self, contact the smily people to design a telemarking banane.

I went up to Silver Star again this morning hoping for another hit of cold smoke, but alas, temperature inversion arrived earlier than forecast & it was actually raining in the village!

Meanwhile back down in the valley & Vernon, it's still chaos after the major snow storm. Main roads are ok, but they haven't done very many residential streets. I actually got stuck trying to get back to my parking spot in the alley behind my house.

No kidding! I get that sense of nostalgia all the time when I'm perusing through my thread. Many of those people I've even met swapping frags or at reef meets. Then, just poof. Gone :cry:

except maybe newbies looking for sweet deals. :redface:

mike31154 01-07-2015 04:02 AM

Maybe they're not gone! Just 'cause they don't post any longer.... perhaps they have nothing relevant to say or ask at the moment, simply lurking. The ebb & flow of interweb forums. Facebook is the devil! It too shall pass.

Reef Pilot 01-07-2015 01:47 PM

Facebook!?... What's that?... Is that where family and friends get into fights and then don't talk to each other for months?...LOL.

Ram3500 01-08-2015 03:52 AM

My wife always calls can reef Fish Book. Drives me nuts :twised:

Bum Wiping Comercial
 
Has anyone seen that new bum wiping commercial? Its for Cottonelle wipes. Its pretty weird, kinda made me uncomfortable watching it. I don't like to think about other people wiping... any thoughts?

jorjef 01-13-2015 12:53 AM

What was it called again Brett.? I can't remember......

hillegom 01-13-2015 01:08 AM

Wow
So this is a "stupid" reef board?

christyf5 01-13-2015 01:18 AM

*sigh*

christyf5 01-13-2015 02:36 PM

reopened. keep it random folks :wink:

DAVE 01-13-2015 02:42 PM

Why do we refer to a "pair" of pants when there is only one?

Aqua-Digital 01-13-2015 03:26 PM

Because Mum taught us to always carry a spare :mrgreen:

Trevor W 01-13-2015 03:28 PM

I believe its because pants use to actually be 2 garments that were then belted together at the waist....

TimT 01-13-2015 03:45 PM

Ok, here's a tricksy one for you.

Why are Panties plural but bra singular... doesn't make sense.

Haha,... scary, but I was thinking the same thing...

But yes, we can have a pair of glasses, pants, shoes, gloves, socks, so why not some others....

A slow day if this is this the best drama we can muster, today... :mrgreen:

My son is in grade two and I'm teaching my son English language arts these days. For the reasons above It is ridiculously agrivating LOL.

nutella
 
Nutella has the same amount of calories as peanut butter - tastes to good too be true.

Craigdillman 01-13-2015 05:04 PM

Do you think in winter is the only time the other animals are like i so glad" I'm not a bird", they don't get any extra fur and they are like 2" thick

random thought,

yvrpilot69 01-13-2015 05:22 PM

animal fur
 
yes I regularly think about what animals are thinking in the wintertime. Feathers vs fur is a question I ponder often.

SeaHorse_Fanatic 01-13-2015 07:38 PM

Being relatively "fur-less" & completely featherless animals, human beings were never meant to live in Canada year-round, I guess.

Coralgurl 01-13-2015 07:49 PM

Spent $6 to wash my car this morning, knowing full well I wouldn't make it the additional 2 blocks to my office without it getting dirty again...but, I couldn't see out any windows, my mirrors were useless and headlights...what headlights???? Good time to run cameras and photo radar, could not read my plate.....:lol:

spit.fire 01-13-2015 08:36 PM

So today on the on ramp to the freeway, I seen a police officer with his lights on sitting behind a car to make sure people slowed down while a guy changed the tire on his car. I dong get why so many people dislike police.

Was he actually helping change the tire?

SeaHorse_Fanatic 01-13-2015 09:52 PM

Protecting a "helpless" driver from getting hit by another car is a huge help already.

I personally like police officers. One of my best friends is one:biggrin:

Really, putting your life on the line for total strangers every day, not something most of us would ever consider doing.

spit.fire 01-13-2015 10:00 PM

Still haven't figured out how to post a new thread in the retarded new tapatalk....

Madreefer 01-14-2015 02:48 AM

I think I'm done with RC. I'm sorry but those to the south of us are a bunch of idiots. They're also the most ignorant people that are in the resorts when I go on vacation. I love Canada

Hear hear! What really gets me is when I notice very American attitudes, business practices and ways of life permeating our society. Makes me sick.

Wud I miss???
