My partner went to a convention in another city. He was caught off guard by the number of dudes in leather and fetishwear that he saw around the hotel when he first arrived but just thought the city must have a diverse and adventurous night life.

The next morning on his way out he spotted a poster, it was “The Bear Ball” weekend, some disco themed big gay guy event, and the hotel he was in was the headquarters, which explains why most of the other attendants of his conference were being housed in a different hotel.

He said he had some great people watching for the next couple days.

Alan Rickman, what a treasure.

Just make sure to do it from Walmart or Lowblaw or some other government teet sucking price gouging corporation.

If we are just putting our own ethical limit, for me it’s 2.

1. Main residence, a traditional home like house, townhome, condo, whatever, but with full service like garbage hydro ect as is standard for the area.

2. Land, sort of what you are saying a country home, but it has to be zoned as such, not just another home in someone else’s neighbourhood. So purpose built seasonal homes, or off-grid properties with an outhouse. Not somewhere most people would be comfortable living as their primary residence year round.

After that taxes should be extreme. And companies should not be able to purchase the main residence type homes. At all. Must be a person purchasing.

What type/brand of laser level? Most have magnetic brackets so if you have an outside corner in the room that has a metal drywall corner it will stick to that, or any peice of metal can be screwed to the wall and the level can be stuck to that. Your level may also come with a metal part of the bracket that you can screw to the wall and then stick the lazer to, and slide it up and down to get the right spot.

My sister’s dog does “business deals” with me (offers a paw to shake) and it gets to the point where I have to tell him I don’t do deals on the weekend or I’m out of goods to trade. That little ferengi never truly believes me though he thinks I’m just trying to play hardball …

That is a beautiful, wonderful movie, but I haven’t been in a positive enough mental state to watch it for almost 8 years.

No I’m not depressed, I’m very lucky and usually quite content if not very happy, it’s just so dark and sad you really have to be waaaaay over to the happy side of the spectrum of you don’t want to come out a hairs distance from suicidal.
