You need to stop stalking these young girls …and get back to fishing…
..and we don’t want to hear any excuses about appreciating the music.Passing strange that you so overwhelmingly ‘appreciate’ music from a certain species of musicians…
Cant wait for Canada to unfreeze, so you can be out and about again.
…or just come home from Babylon. -

oh Canada
Jan 9, 2023
Canada has decided to buy the F-35 afterall. 7 years after vowing to not buy the jet, the Trudeau government has agreed to buy 88 F-35’s for $19 billion. The federal government says it is paying the same price the US does for the jets. -

Rolling Stone Stone just published their version of the 200 greatest singers of all time, I don’t see your favourite songbird listed and the local songstress Rihanna is included, however i can’t recall if folks like Nat King Cole,Taj Mahal or John Lee Hooker are included. I think that many other deserving people have been left out in favour of some obscure singer that no one has ever heard.

@ Sargeant,
G G is still my favourite but would not expect to see her in that list.
She is primarily a Whitney Houston tribute singer.

Song called
Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could
Little things I should have said and done
I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I am so happy that you’re mine
If I made you feel second best
I’m so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

@ TheOGazerts,
” The areas of concern remain the same for St Lucy residents – bad roads, brown water, poor public transportation.”

Watch the video “St Lucy speaks” and see how Mia works.
Have you ever seen a cowboy movie where the herd is stampeding and heading towards a cliif. Out of the blue comes a cowboy who rushes pass the herd and the turns the herd toward safety. Mia was that cowboy.She knew water, land and roads were sensitive topics in St Lucy. She invited the audience to air their problems and then provided solid feedback/solutions. She was then able to take the sting out of additional question on those matters.
I like how one wannabe politician went into the lion’s den and attempted to score political points. Mia greeted him warmly and friendly and after some light banter gave him a severe verbal flogging. It was like watching a master at judo, where you use the opponent’s momentum (attack) against him.
@Boys
Life lesson
Get yourself a smart woman. If she is making $ 2X and you are making $X. Don’t kill yourself trying to make 2x or getting her down to x. Sprain your brain trying to get her to 3x and give her all of the support you can.I used to walk with a woman (at work) everyday. Given her position in the company and the fact that her husband had a less glamorous position elsewhere, it was easy to figure out who was earning the bread. One day she said to me … Mr “Theo” when I get up in the morning, my husband has my breakfast made and my car is warming up. Basically, all I have to do just clean myself up and head off to work.
He knew who was bringing home the bacon. I laugh when I see some guys on TV calling themselves pimp and acting all tough. Her husband was a smarter, bigger and better pimp.
Boys, get yourself a smart woman and give her all the support you can. Don’t be intimidated by a ‘Mia’ type … try to get her on your team.

” Mayor John Tory stepping down from office, apologizes ‘unreservedly to the people of Toronto”
Like Clinton he got lewenskyed.

@Hants
It is not the same thing. Monica Lewinjky was 22. The woman mentioned here is 31. What we Bajan would call a hard-back woman.Old geezers (like myself), we have to figure out if the exercise is worth the final price. If you want to keep the wife and children, then leave the young thing alone.

@ TheOGazerts,
If the 31 year old ” hard-back woman ” look as good as Glennis

@Hants
Since Tory is connected to Rogers someone asked if the other party went to work at the cable giant. Tory is learning too late that you never dip your pen in the company ink.

Well, at least he can still get it up. Can you guys. Or was he using the ‘v’.

” Construction on the long-mooted multi-million-dollar Pierhead Development Project is scheduled to start later this year.
Leading real estate developer Sir Paul Altman, who represents the single developer behind the scheme, gave the assurance on Tuesday that despite the long delays, the project was still in the works although he did not commit to an exact start date.”
