Keep warm; roast marshmallow; get rid of branches.

I think cooking anything other than hot dogs or marshmallows over them would be tricky with trying to control temperature and stuff, and most wood that people have bonfires with burn too fast and intense.

What was being stuffed where? Is this a gas pump in the rear or wiener in the tank situation? Wiener in the pump?? Is there a fourth option??

I feel like this is a situation where maybe you should just look it up yourself instead of getting it described to you if you really want to know.

I can certainly live without the details.

People are lighting fires when it's warm outside.

A lot of my friends and family do this but I don't get it. Buy wood to light on fire and sit around. I guess it's good for conversation but we can just sit outside in lawn chairs without smelling like a camp fire after.

I read the gas station was called Kum & Go

What do you consider warm? I’d say it’s still pretty cool in the evenings. Fire provides some nice evening ambience. Presumably they’re not buying firewood and doing it *every* night. I personally don’t do it all the time, just whenever cuttings accumulate to the stage of having to do something.

I was just hoping for a nice fotze bed time story.

On this topic, general admission floor concerts at grey eagle and other smaller venues. 2700 people there, at a show with lots of crowd movement/Mosh pits ect.

Everyone in the first 50 feet of the stage is awesome and great to be around, letting people thru, high fiving, acting like an awesome community. But to get there you get that 500 or so that like to stand at the back behind all the movement.

K, great. But then they're also the uptight, nerdy type of concert goers that feel nobody should be able to get past them 20 mins before the show even starts, and act all indignant and try to block everyone from getting closer.

So annoying.

Yeah, and if you're tall every once in a while you'll get some dope of the highest order behind you letting you know he can't see through you. Okay? Move, I guess. I can't make myself shorter; you're going to have to figure this one out on your own.

And I am mindful of where I stand...like, I would never just march up and stand in front of a short person. I'm talking about when I'm already there, then somebody posts up behind me, then gets frustrated I'm tall. Like, go away, dork.

Wife has a small RRSP account from a recent employer. She no longer works there.

Can that be combined with another file with the same provider ?

Both are with Canada life if it matters...

Not an advisor but I have done that a lot of times. Those crap providers like that will most likely charge a fee per fund. I seem to remember $25 per.

Pump in rump. His wand in his other hand.

My autocorrect seems to want to change “Percy” into “Pervy”. I wonder how many emails get sent out as, “Hi Pervy”?

Yes you can combine RRSP’s. It’ll be a problem if you’re trying to combine a LIRA and RRSP or things like that.

Yup, the LIRA needed its own second account, but can be moved wherever.

Can you add to an existing LIRA? I have one from years ago (profit sharing plan from previous employer). We will be changing plan providers with my current employer and have a dormant profit sharing plan with them as well. Not sure what will become of it, we don't have details yet but it would seem logical to be able to roll it into my existing LIRA rather than having to set up a second one.

You can combine LIRAs if they have the same pension jurisdiction. So, for example, if those are both Alberta LIRAs, you could make them into one account.

If you have a DPSP though, that would likely end up being an RRSP and you could combine that there. It's hard for me to say just going off your comments, but this is what I glean from your post.

Staring into the licking flames of a fire is one of life's pure joys.

Glad my mom is still sharp, she just had one of those Whatsapp scams where someone contacted her pretending to be me and asking for money.

Scary though reading the messages, they might have fooled a grandparent or someone a bit older. ####in scumbag scammer pricks
