Last Sunday my home phone was ringing off the hook. In the course of about an hour and half, I must have gotten about 3 dozen calls from Olivia at Amazon. Given what I do for a living, I have to answer the damn phone. Funnily enough, three of the numbers that were calling were my number. After putting up with the damned thing ringing every 5 minutes, I pressed one. Noise in the back ground. "Good Afternoon, RCMP Anti-Fraud Centre. Constable John Smith speaking. How may I help you?" "Hello, we are being calling about your Amazon account." "Yes, Constable Smith speaking." "Hello, yes. We have noticed a charge on your Amazon account for a $695.10 IPhone. Did you make the charge?" "You are aware that you've called the RCMP Anti-Fraud Centre? You are speaking with a police officer?" "Yes, yes. I hear you." "So, would you like to file a complaint?" DIAL TONE. Bastards haven't called back. I loved my husband's statement afterwards: "You know you've just committed a crime" I'm like, "Yeah, I know. Not that I give a f**k. Jesus, I'd love to be in on that call. "Hello, I would like to file charges of Impersonating a Police Officer against this man. I called him up trying to steal his money, and he said he was a policeman. Which he isn't. Can you go and arrest him please."" Now he's amazed it worked. Bastards stopped calling.

Okay boomer. Whatever you say boomer. You still triggered Snowflake? Need to crawl into your safe space and suck on your paci? You still angry because the American voter said to those who said "Fuck Elections", "Fuck you". Now tell us what you've been told to think.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63612410 Aww poor Snowflake. You need a safe space? Do you need a paci and your teddy? Are you ready to throw a tantrum because you didn't get your way? Poor Snowflake.

https://nationalpost.com/health/health-and-wellness/patient-charged-40-for-crying-during-doctors-appointment What the hell? Seriously, what the actual f**k! A person who had health issues and finally got treatment. A Doctor gave her some good news (I hope), and she had a little cry...and she got charged forty goddamned dollars. That's disgusting. I don't have the words to express the absolute contempt I have for a Hospital that has the gall, the audacity, to charge someone for crying in a doctor's office. By the same token, it's typical of the Canadian press to run stories like this. Just to remind us we don't live in the US...which I'm ever so thankful for. (Awww, wassa matter Snowflake? Did I hurt your feels? Do you need your paci and your blankie? Need to crawl into your safe space?) Then I Iook at the places like Sweden, Norway, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, and Switzerland..oh hell...most of EU. Their Healthcare is much, much better. In those places, I wouldn't have to pay nearly $2000.00 a year for my husband's medication. My Insurance only pays 80%. What's that? Fox f**king 'News' has told you that's socialism? You don't like socialism? Cause that's like those damned socialists hate America? But we done likes the police. Really, you love the police (as do I). A PUBLICLY funded police service? You do understand that a one point in time the police were a private service that you had to pay for? Really, you house gets broken into. Why should I pay for the police to investigate. That's your problem, not mine. So why should I pay. PUBLICLY funded Fire Departments. Your house is on fire, why should I pay? That seems to be your problem. The same with Health Care. Your lack of Universal Health Care costs your economy BILLIONS of dollars a year. In lost production and in a shorter life expectancy. Sorry, I didn't mean to get off on a rant. But, when I see a country that has stood for so much. That has, for all its problems, has done so much to further the cause of democracy. That has, without question, sent it's young men to die on foreign fields. That has been a symbol of stability. A symbol of freedom. A place where the common person, can achieve so much. To fall so far.

Sorry, I don't really log in a lot any more. Came in looking for a tech deal (like that's going to happen!), and noticed a reply. Thanks. I had to look up what a DHD was in relation to Stargate. Never was a fan of the show, but my husband like it...hence the Stargate. There is a logical reason for the tea plate....he has these algae wafers which he basically grinds them up, and bakes them on to the plate. It's quite the sight to see fish eating off a plate.

Been awhile. Hope all of you are dong well. I think I've figured out how to show you all how our fish are doing. At least, I hope to Christ I have. Been clicking on buttons for the last half hour...https://imgur.com/a/bjJVnZn Hope that works. My husband has decided to set up hydroponics. We are currently growing lettuce, strawberries, and Forget-Me-Nots. The flowers are for me. I like flowers.

Blah, blah, blah Snowflake. More propaganda from highly dubious sources? https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/daily-caller/ I already know you're going to dismiss that, as some Socialist, Liberal, Progressive fake news bullshit. Of course you don't give one flying f**k about facts do you. No, just as long as what ever lunatic you're listening to confirms your already preconceived opinion. I get it Lys, I truly do. You're angry. You're afraid. You don't realize that you're being manipulated for profit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eR0ckpJ3bk&list=RD1eR0ckpJ3bk&start_radio=1 I pity you.

Have you considered that you're just a piece of shit? Imagine battering someone just because they've chosen not to potentially infect someone else. It doesn't even have to be covid related, could just be a cold they don't want to spread. No, Snowflake hasn't. He doesn't give a fiddler's f**k about anyone but himself. He's all about fwee-dum, as long as he agrees with it. He'll happily think what ever he's been told to think. Just like the good little fascist he is.

@DarkFox and onbekende. I'm beginning to think you are both masochists. Why are you subjecting yourselves to the pain of arguing with a triggered snowflake? All you are going to get out of snowflake is whatever Fox "News", One America, and whatever far right loon he's been listening to. Snowflake is only going to repeat what he's been told to think. He will only screech about his "fwee-dum" and his "wights" have been denied. Just like the entitled brat he is. Snowflake will only continue to repeat the big lie and conspiracy . Just like he's been told to do. Oh, Snowflake, I know you've seen this. Call me what you like. Hurl your insults. I really don't care. You are everything that's wrong with the USA. You haven't earned my contempt, you are beneath it. So just take your bullshit to some QAnon message board. No one here wants to read your delusional rants.

Hello Everyone, Wishing you, your family, and friends a Happy Holiday season from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Both myself and my husband hope you and everyone you care about are all safe, healthy and happy. Take care and be safe. -HackSlash

"Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony." Love that movie. Back across town this afternoon. Yep, you guessed it...Big Al's. Ended up getting some air stones, a pump, and bunch of other aquarium related stuff. Getting a little bit scared now. He's done one hell of a job. Set up an air curtain, testing the water, and planted the plants. He's enjoying it. Like I said, as soon as I can figure it out, I'll post some pics. It's turned into a labour of love. I'm glad of it. He's after telling me this is the best December he's had in a long time. He's engaged, he's happy. that's the least I can do for the man I love.

with the combo of "Sisyphus, Meredith, Tag, Current, and Tony", I was wondering where the names come from. No theme or logic comes to my mind to tie them together. You got greek, old english, random item, physical unit and random Soprano aficionado. Remember, my husband named them. Yes, I asked him for explanations. Sisyphus: because he likes to swim against the current of the pump. Meredith: Your guess is as good as mine. He did tell me, but I'm hard of hearing, and didn't catch it. Tag: Likes to chase the other fish Current: He was black and silver, currents are black. I don't know, like I said, I'm hard of hearing, I think I might have misheard him there. Tony: not the Sopranos. Think Tony "Scarface" Montana. Love that movie. He was silver. @Xamuel: That's bloody hilarious. Postscript: Well I went and did it. After my Coy (Company), Breakfast, I drove across Edmonton to Big Al's. Bought the 55 Gallon tank he wanted plus a stand. Just spent the last four hours putting the thing together. I wanted to surprise him on Christmas Morning with it, but no one I know could store it. So when I got back home, I asked him to come and help me get something out of the car. When he saw the tank, he stood there in the back garden and cried. It took a while before he could help me bring it all in. He's already talking about the fish he wants to buy. I'll have to post some pics, when he gets it set up. Like I said before, Hang the expense. It made the man I love happy. That matters more to me.

Side note....guess who ended up at Big Al's Aquarium Super Center this Sunday? Half hour drive across the city., for fin rot medicine. One hour and 92 G**D**M dollars later.... On a side note, I saw the aquarium he wants and the whole set up is affordable. @onbekende, What questions about the names do you have? Unless of course you were being sarcastic. @ Dontavian, he knows about them...D**M you Reddit. He's been quite active on Reddit asking piles of questions. Like I said, I really don't mind. He's engaged intellectually and is physically active taking care of them. It's better than sitting on a computer playing games all day, or fooling around with his phone. @joe44, that's a nice video. I'll mention it too him.

About a month ago, I was talking about setting up an aquarium. My husband was dead set against it. He didn't want them, didn't like them, and wanted nothing to do with them. I happen to like aquariums, I find watching the fish relaxing. So, I went out and bought one. Yeah, I heard about that. I got in a bit of trouble over that purchase. Five days later I bought the fish. When I got them in the tank, he spent an hour and a half watching them. He looked at me and said, "I can't believe they are making me this happy." Side note, my husband is autistic. He went ahead and named them, Sisyphus, Meredith, Tag, Current, and Tony. Current and Tony have since met with the great toilet bowl in the sky. Flash forward to, well, right now. I have no idea how much he's spent. Our rec room looks like a science lab. I've been sent out to buy an ever increasing amount of fish related stuff. Hell, I found out recently there is such a thing as a fish veterinarian. Yes, a vet for fish. No, I'm not making this up. Just search "fish vets" on Google. Never knew that was a thing. Now, he want's to go across town to buy a 55 Galleon tank...with all of the special furniture, pumps, and Lord knows what else. You know what? F**k it. If that's what he wants. If that will make him happy. Then I'll do it. I'm glad that he's gotten this involved. It gets him off the computer and the cell phone, and it stimulates him intellectually. Then I'll happily pay the price.

You could easily say the same about any politician. I think Bill Maher says it best as to why they are the way they are: He goes after the Republicans, but you could easily lump the Democrats in with it as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyCNxugvs6s I will say this much, the US is in desperate need of electoral reform. The biggest one that's needed it to get the role that money plays in your system out of it. For comparison, our recent election cost us just north of $600 Million dollars (our usual average is around $300 million), and people grumbled about the price of what was seen as an unnecessary election. That price tag was to elect 338 Member's of Parliament. That's less than ONE presidential candidate will spend seeking their party's nomination and run for the Presidency. To run for Congress or the Senate requires tens of millions, maybe hundreds. As Rex Murphy once said in one of his editorial, "How can democracy survive in the US when that kind of money is required to seek office? It can't."
