I'll be damned. I was just mentally planning my afternoon and weighing the various things that have to be done. Finally I decided that now is the best time for the little trip over to the grocery store I need to make. So I bounced to my feet and without even realizing it was coming, I said, "Let's make the magic happen."

Apparently I've got a whole thing going on here.
 
All this stimulating hockey talk and all the influence our Toronto base posters have at GL and I can't get the Maple Leaf logo out of my head!

Just wondering if any of you proud Leaf fans while away from civilization and out in the woods have ever used a maple leaf to wipe yourself after a bowel movement? :dunno:
 
I don't catalog things like that but I wouldn't be surprised at all if I had used a maple leaf for wiping. With all the time I have spent outdoors in my life, it seems inevitable.

Poop happens and, when the time comes to wipe, better to reach for a safe, familiar maple leaf than some mystery leaf on the ground.



For the record, I am not a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. Just the opposite, I am strongly anti-Leafs.

I was just noticing something this morning which I do sub-consciously. I don't know what to make of it.

Every morning when I am getting out of bed, I have a mantra. As I am throwing off the covers and springing into action I say, "Let's make the magic happen."

But I want to be clear. This is not an affirmation as it may seem on the surface. It is clearly sarcastic. If I lived in a posting forum, it would be accompanied by this smiley: :rolleyes: It is said almost with a sense of doom hanging over it.

"Let's make the magic happen."

I start every day with a little self-mocking ritual. What's up with that?

The magic will happen on a day when you think you are mocking yourself again. I have no doubt about that. Then you will look at those self-mocking days and smile.
This is an interesting thread, by the way. I enjoyed reading about those brief moments that only last seconds in reality but leave an impression (I will get mad if someone makes fun of me because I sound so cheesy). Nice free verse as well earlier...
 
People are proud of the strangest thing. I just got back from the laundry room where my super told me for the 10th time how he doesn't dry his clothes in the dryer. He air-dries his clothes by hanging them. Apparently he feels that it increases the life expectancy of the garments.

There are a bunch of directions I could go with that. Like why are we really worried about life expectancy of clothes? If you're fussing over prolonging the life of a $25,000 car, I kind of get it. But some $26 jeans? How much more life can you possibly give them? Maybe they last 18 years instead of 16? Is that worth the time spent hanging clothes?

But okay, I am over-simplifying his case. The reason the clothes last longer his way is because the dryer actually de-fluffs (for lack of a better word) his clothes. So presumably not only do they last longer, they look better, fluffier. And he does not just wear jeans. He goes to church quite often and dresses nicely. So there's that. I don't know.

But he is so proud when he talks about it. He thinks he has figured out a special secret. When I am doing laundry and I see him coming I think, 'Hm, I wonder if he's going to tell me how he air-dries his clothes again.' And often he does.

I can't think of anything else he has repeated himself about even twice. He is a Jehovah's Witness and he has never preached any of that stuff at me. He only preaches the gospel of air-drying laundry.

So proud.
 
What is the deal with those coin-op dryers anyway? We pay $1.75 a round - someone must be making money? Is it the building company?

It may be dead subversive of my super, trying to sway people away from using them. If his bosses found out what he's doing, he could be in trouble.

But I guess when the principle is that important, you take the chance.
 
It sounds like you Canadians pay more for everything. Even though the exchange rate is supposed to be even.

From what I saw here.

Apartment $1400..... >$1000
Mcdouble $1.39......$1
dryer $1.75......$1

convert money to us $ and come here. It's the only reasonable alternative.
