Philbo responded to a discussion called texting and talking in your cellphone while driving...!! in questions & answers. 4 weeks agoI've always been aware of how dangerous it is without a hands free device and will not use a cellphone while driving. It only became illegal in this part of the country this past week. People have died doing this. It is very serious.
Philbo responded to a discussion called 15 or so inches of SNOW! What do YOU do on SNOW DAYS? Or what WOULD you DO? in family. 4 weeks agoIf the snow conditions are right, we build snowmen and snow forts. We might challenge someone else to a good old fashioned snowball fight. When we're all played out we go in for hot chocolate.
Philbo responded to a discussion called have you seen anyone wearing a mask lately? in life. 4 weeks agoI am from Canada as well. There was a young girl in the area who died of from the H1N1 virus. A high percentage of people where I work are wearing the masks. I am not one of them at this point. They are a little scarce in the stores here right now. A lot of people here have a cold or some kind of flu bug and the emergency at the hospital is overflowing. At one point the wait time was over eight...
Philbo responded to a discussion called Kick me NOW!!! in mylot.com. 4 weeks agoI sympathize. I look significantly younger than I actually am and while that is great it is really irritating to be treated as too young and too experienced to be good for anything. I didn't like being treated like a kid when I was a kid. Now it's getting really old. I understand. Now to get you back into fighting trim. Get on the lot and read comments and realize how stupid some of them are...
Philbo responded to a discussion called Why The Financial Stereotypes About Marriage? in get married. 4 weeks agoI understand where you are coming from. I am Canadian as well and the people who decide whether you get disability here or not are very difficult to work with. Most people will agree that to manage here you need to have two incomes. My wife has osteoarthritis in her upper back and she is unable to work. If she were single she could get disability. Because she is married and has children she can...
Philbo responded to a discussion called washing machine in wash clothes. 3 weeks agoHusband complaining to his mother when he isn't happy with what is wife is doing or not doing. You need to talk this out with your husband. His mother should get some sense and tell him to talk it out with you to. He needs to leave his mother out of it because you are not likely to ever be happy together like this.
Philbo responded to a discussion called ouch i have kidney stones in life. 3 weeks agoOuch. I've been there. I have had two kidney stones lifetime and they really do hurt a bunch. Depending on the type of stone they can sometimes smash them to bits with ultra sonic waves. Been there. It isn't a whole lot of fun either. Google something called jump and bump kidney stone removal. It didn't work for me but it did seem to stop the crisis pain when I felt it coming on. When you read ...
Philbo responded to a discussion called Where were your kids last night at midnight? in parenting. 3 weeks agoMy kids were all cozy in their beds where they were supposed to be. I made sure of it myself. I know a lot of people who let their kids stay up and out until all hours. I don't understand that way of thinking. I've never seen it lead anywhere good. Hope you don't have to put up with too much of that sort of thing.
Philbo commented in a discussion called Champion of the new NBA season in basketball. 4 weeks agoI saw snippets of the game. Seems to me the Cavaliers spent a lot of time preparing for the Celtics and didn't come to the game as prepared for the Raptors as they should have. A lot of standing around flatfooted on both ends of the court. That's a sure sign they aren't completely comfortable with each other yet. They should improve quickly. Don't hang too much on this game. If you're counting ...
Philbo received a best response in the discussion How would you feel if you overhear the person you love say this... by laydee. 4 weeks agoMost women would be hurt by this statement from the one they love. Guys there is a lesson here. Don't compare the one you love to others publicly. It's a no win situation. I think my wife is beautiful. I don't have to qualify that. I don't have to say more. Is she the most beautiful or more beautiful than...? Maybe maybe not. I won't say. It doesn't matter. I don't care. I am not planning ever ...
My bike is an old Nishiki Landau touring bike. Very nearly racing configuration but with chromemoly tubing. The original rims were chromemoly as well but I changed to aluminum racing rims a long time...
Read an article the other day about a bicycle company that is bringing bicycle frames made with bamboo instead of steel or aluminum tubing to the North American market. Panda bicycles is the brand...
Arrrgh. Wind blew my Internet antenna off the roof of my house yesterday. I'm at the library right now expressing my frustration. Won't be back up until Tuesday and that's assuming the weather will...
There are actually people in North America who have decided to leave the car in the garage and do everything by bicycle. We lived that way for a period of time but it wasn't by choice. It is...
What kind of magic is Colangelo spinning this summer. Lured in Turkoglu and now it looks like he's grabbing Jarrett Jack away from Indiana. I'm not saying they're contenders but he is sure putting a...
