ING Direct had this contest about 3 years ago, to see how to save money by being frugal. The winner would receive $10,000.

I had this brilliant idea, but never submitted it. The idea actually came from my in-laws. I cannot reveal it, as it may surface again. This time I'll be submitting it.

Looking over the winners I know I would of won.

I woke up 5pm and delivered The Montreal Gazette. Rain, Sleet or Snow. I can't recall how much I made. Wasn't much, just enough to buy candy bars.

This dam computer! I have to wake up for work at 3am sometimes. I don’t get to bed by 11pm most of the time. When the kids go to sleep, that’s my personal time. When I’m surfing the net, visiting some of my favourite sites, email, facebok, etc…Time just seems to fly by.

This is a real hard question to answer.

The only way I can answer this, is put myself in the shoes of someone who has had a murdered loved one. I would want that person dead as well.

When a person is put on death-row, the wait is too long. Time for too many questions. If a person is to be put to death, it should be done immediately. Why cost the system more money keeping them alive.

What if the person was innocent and wrongfully accused? Would I ever be able to forgive this person? Would I be able to look into this persons up bringing? Can the person be reformed?

Too may questions just get it over with.

This is funny, I was talking to my kids about this the other day.

I wouldn’t say she was the worst, but I do remember her. Mrs. Fleming, grade 6, she would make us go to the store for her, during class, to purchase candy bars and cigarettes.

Imagine a teacher trying to pull that off today.

Let me go back. I came to Canada when I was 5, so 1973. My parents were already separated/divorced, I honestly don’t know which. We all lived full time with Mom, and seen Dad once in a while. By the time was 15, I didn’t see him anymore. In my early 20′s I tried to reacquaint myself with him. More

The Big 42. Well okay it’s not that big.

A few years ago I injured my right shoulder real bad. Trying to be macho and pressing more weight than I should. I was out of commission for good while. Went to every type of therapy. A friend of mine recommended acupuncture. I thought I’d give it a shot. I had one treatment, within a week my shoulder was fine. It’s been over 3 years and not one single problem.

I’ll be honest here. The pay and the benefits. The hours suck. I wake up most days at 3am. Yes – when most people are on their way home from the club, I’m on my way to work. There is a bright side though. I’m home by 12pm some days, so there is a balance. Now that it’s summer, I’ll be home and I still have most of my day.

At the start of the playoffs, I thought they were going to get swept by the Caps. So I am disappointed, but still happy at how well they played. They had a nice run.
