Four For The Price of One (Friday Fun/Saturday Snap/Sappy Sunday/Music Monday)

We were out of town this weekend for Shea’s parents’ 40th Wedding Anniversary so I didn’t get around to blogging as we were pretty busy the whole time. Instead of going back and post-posting (er, is that a word? Backdating posts to keep my “daily post” commitment going anyhow), I thought that, this time I’d […]

Friday Fun Link – The CFTD Parenting Method Sweeps the Nation

Yes parents, most concerns, competitive instincts and crying jags can be allayed if you too decide to practice “Calm the Fuck Down” parenting. 😉 Worried your friend’s child has mastered the alphabet quicker than your child? Calm the f*ck down. Scared you’re not imparting the wisdom your child will need to survive in school and beyond? Calm […]

Friday Fun Link – 25 Signs You’re Addicted To Books

This one made the rounds on social media awhile back but I’m posting it here for truth – I agree with pretty much everything on this list!

Friday Fun Link – Sasha’s Big Smile

We’re at a family reunion this weekend so blog posts will either not happen or be fairly basic. Like this…

Friday Fun Link – My 20 Favourite Movies of All-Time

I came across a movie ranking web site called FlickChart last night.  The premise is very simple – it shows you posters of two movies side-by-side and you pick which movie you liked better (or you can get another choice if you haven’t seen one of the options presented.)   Eventually, after you rank enough movies, […]

Friday Fun Link – The Fucking Home Page

If you can get past the gratuitous swearing, the Fucking Home Page actually has pretty interesting content each new day.

Friday Fun Link – Cat Shaming At Its Best

There are lots of possibilities but if I did a photo like this for our cat, one of the first captions to spring to mind would be: “Whipping around the house should only be done at 3am with my owner’s bed as the best place to practice my hairpin turns.”  😉

Friday Fun Link – Our English As She Is Spoke (A Column Only Canadians Will Understand)

A fun column by Dave Bidini as we head into the May Long Weekend aka “The Official Start of Summer in Canada” (at least in theory, if not practice.)

Friday Fun Link – Macca!!! (And Ten Songs I’m Most Excited To Hear At His #YQR Concert)

I’m already on record that The Beatles are my favourite band of all-time. At the same time, I’ve never seen any of them live (not even Ringo!) 😉 I almost got my chance last November when Paul McCartney was in Edmonton and a friend ended up with an extra pair of tickets. But he ended […]

Friday Fun Link – History of NHL Video Games (1991-2012)

Lots of nostalgia in the video below… NHL 94 is the obvious classic of the bunch but I probably spent more time playing EA NHL 2000 than any other video game in my life. Nothing spectacular about that particular game – just came at a time when I had lots of free time (no kids!), […]
