I’ve never wanted a tattoo, I would probably do a hell of a lot of research into checking out tattoo places before choosing one.
I feel for this lady terrible experience.

I've always wanted one but every time I seriously considered a particular one someone else I knew beat me to it. Still thinking about one though.

I see on Facebook people are reaching out to her with suggestions. Hope she finds someone to help her.

Maybe, call me old-fashioned, not up to date, but for the life of me just cannot understand why peeps now want to, need to, ink their skin. Are we South Island warriors now, tattooed and wearing bones in our noses, perhaps eating brains of our enemies? That hasn’t aged well with prion diseases.

I realize I am a dinosaur so I say nothing one way or the other when peeps show off their skin ‘artwork’ that in 2 decades from now will go from bird to a disgruntled fossil. Skin ages, loses its elasticity and tends to hang in drapery-like, unflattering folds. I know this to be FACT, indisputable, and part of the aging process. Hate it, but can’t undo it.

A fad that I hope dies out,soon.

I watched a short the video the other and I can't stop thinking about it. I won't "quote" it because I can't remember what he said exactly but it went something like this:

There was a Major League Baseball team named the Anaheim Angels. Someone decided that just wasn't good enough so they thought the best thing to do would be to rename The Los Angeles Angels. Now, I don't know if those people don't speak Spanish or what, do they know what Los Angeles means? If they did they would realize they just renamed the team to:

The The Angels Angels.

Maybe they stopped thinking about it, too soon.

That's as bad as our CFL have two teams with almost identical names.
Saskatchewan Roughriders and Ottawa Rough Riders.

[ferri]

LOL That could be it!

Good grief. They need to rename them. lol That has to be confusing.

I was kind of snickering last night because I was watching the Rangers and Phillies baseball game but then I had to switch to watch the Rangers and Panthers hockey game.

At least those Rangers are two different sports. lol

[Glacier]

Who was the moron who named the Ottawa football team!??

They should be in jail for being so stupid

Edit: okay, I take that back ... https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/cfl-5 ... %20sources.

There appears to be another fast-food joint coming to Kelowna, opening up on corner of Harvey and Cooper in the old Tim’s location.

Popeyes

Also noticed Purple shake thread has been locked.

I'm pretty excited about that, they make a nice chicken and I definitely don't want to have to go out of town to get it!

I've been asked to deliver the eulogy for my wife's grandfather. Do I tell the family to go pound sand or do I agree to do that?

[Queen K]

Is the sofa comfortable? No? DO it. Unless you know something hidden about said grandfather. Doesn't mean you have to wax on about him if you do it anyways though.

[normaM]

why you instead of a fam member more immediate? Not that you can't do it, just curious

Because they're all a bunch of wimminz who get emotional doing eulogies.

Also, their daughters hate each other so don't want to have any fights.

The one daughter who is married is married to a guy with zero social sense, and didn't like his father -in-law.

I'm trying to convince my wife to do it, but she says she'd get all emotional.

I joke about telling them to pound sand. I guess it will either be my wife or I.

[kgcayenne]

I predict you will remain composed for the eulogy and that’s exactly why you have been asked. You can guarantee that because there’s family drama, someone will be 71$$ed off by something in your eulogy; be prepared for that. I usually just 71$$ everybody off by not going to large family functions, then it’s fair allllllaround; nobody is left out that way.

If I were you Glacier, I’d do it. Why?

Because your wife’s family seems to live exceptionally long lives. Lots of time left for them to extract payback.

I've been to a few eulogies over the years, most are somber, depressing, but the good ones are always full of humour. Go that route. And if you can subtly bring up family dysfunctions and still keep the humor there, they'll be slapping your back when it's over.
