In Alberta, you can get an Antique plate, but there are specific criteria for getting one:


Other than 25 years feeling too short for something to be an antique, these restrictions seem reasonable.

"Hey, I'm going to the classic car show with my 1999 Ford Escort. Wanna come along?"

Haha. Okay, yeah we all noticed the unusual license plate and were just kind of shocked. Was I that old that a Nissan Murano was now a classic car? It was that same feeling when I hear 90s grunge played on light fm stations.

What’s the normal amount of grunting and heavy breathing when taking a dump in a public bathroom stall? Specifically at the office.

Every time I use the bathroom at the office it sounds like someone is giving birth in there. Do people really have that tough a time with taking a ####?

I dont know. The 'Office Bathroom' is usually the crapper of last-resort and approached only when the occupant understands that whichever bathroom they use they're going to destroy it and they'd rather obliterate one they wont be responsible for?

Are the feds setting back the CPP age and cutting back OAS? Someone told me they are.

None is the only answer.

Always grunt as loud as possible to assert dominance. Stare through the cracks in the stall walls / door in hopes of catching the eye of worried onlookers.

By setting back do you mean making the age of eligibility older? They really should to be honest, our life expectancy had increased significantly over the years.

Yes, from age 65 to 67. And reducing OAS benefits. I’ve heard nothing but rumours.

You’d probably be more effective if you left the stall door open.

Nothing tabled that I am aware of. CPC tried to do it a few years ago but the Liberals rolled it back/cancelled it when Trudeau was elected.

So I guess school is still on tomorrow and that we are always 72 hours away from a strike?

My kids (6 & 8) absolutely love school. They are going to be devastated. I haven't told them about the rumors, just hoping any labor disputes are avoided.

Looking for an organization that will re-furbish old(er) guitars and give them to a music program or a deserving person.

I have an older acoustic and electric that need a bit of work but could be a great beginner guitars for someone.

Also If I can donate these two, my wife says I can buy more...LOL

Any ideas ?

I’ve had a friend from America reach out regarding one of my cutting boards. He wants to buy one but I have no idea if my pieces are subject to Americas ridiculous tariffs.

It’s about worth about $80. I do not have any idea of where I’d start to find this information. Hoping the hive mind here might be of some assistance

Thanks

There's no way that would be worth it for anybody. Labour is so expensive. A new guitar is so cheap. The plan makes no sense.

Cowboy: [hearing Austin strain in a toilet stall, unaware he's trying to fight off Paddy O'Brien] Hey, partner, come on, you gotta relax. Don't force it. Gonna blow out your O-ring, drop a lung.

Austin Powers: [drowning a man in the toilet] Who does Number Two work for? Who does Number Two work for?

Cowboy: That's right, buddy. You show that turd who's boss.

Could you ship it to him pretending it's something else? TP for Trump?

Yes, you'll have to pay. The US has removed the de minimis exemption, so the costs are in place for basically anything now. I don't know who you use for shipping with, but you could contact DYK (who you should be using anyway, instead of Canada Post), and they will have you all straightened out.

My wife was sending some things to the US just this week for her business, and the costs were exorbitant to say the least. Like, beyond what any reasonable person would pay, but hopefully you're not in the same predicament!
