Well, let me tell you about life in the city that hasn't built a new road in 30 years...
Vancouver traffic is a nightmare at the best of times. Crosstown will cost you an hour at 1 AM.
Bridges are either undergoing renovation or there is a sudden problem.
I am eagerly awaiting the bill for THIS Olympic debacle, and sincerely HOPE it will be less expensive than Montreal. We JUST finished paying that off SIX YEARS AGO!!
My Golly, FRiend, who appointed *YOU* the lord and master over this domain? I’m sure the owner just *might* have something to say about that...
Am I not permitted to carp, carry on, and complain about how little *I* like the Olympics in a thread dedicated to the Olympics? No? How about you take into account that I actually am ON THE FREAKING HOOK for this debacle? Yes, *I* PERSONALLY have (so far) contributed over $5368 (by latest calculation, final tally is yet to be known) from my income taxes over the last year, and the rest is soon to be squeezed from my ****.
If *I* have no reason to carp, harp, and carry on about how the Olympics are a pain in MY *** and wallet, STFU about 0bama already, hypocrite!
Good Morning Don, I can’t say that I disagree with you.. there are a LOT of things that are problematic..
but hey, why not start a thread titled: Why I Despise the Olympics.
All folks with grips can contribute .. I might too
Here we are celebrating the athletes who trained and are competing.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Smooch!
Dolly, though I utterly detest with all my heart, soul AND wallet all that which you are a cheerleader for,
I truly wish you
ALL THE BEST!
(Just pay my part of the interminable debt and I’ll be forever beholden to you...
I might even think about, well, we’ll get to that kind of nonsense later (BG))
Don I understand.. I truly do.
Where I live there is a national park (actually in my back yard)
some of the communities that the park goes through.. it is a long narrow one along a river, towpath, canal.. are impoverished. They get no federal $$. They have millions of visitors who deplete the area. Because this is residential /rural there is NO commerical gain - restaurants etc. for the most part. The tourists cause a very huge strain on the local law enforcement, road crews etc.
We also in our little community have many issues.
I dont mean to be dictator.. I am just saddened that somehow despite the frustrations, the kids cannot have their day without being attacked.
A new better set up needed? no doubt
Just like the UN..
I was a little peeved yesterday that once again a thread/people were attacked.
Perhaps one can come to these threads & make their points, valid as they are, without destroying the joy the participants here experience.
I know PR isn’t always my strong point
I’ve added you. :-)
