Fair to say - Never buy art as an investment as a general rule. Not sure about some of the other stuff noted above.

In no order: Alomar off Eckersley. Don’t think people today understand how badly the As owned us and how important that was. ALCS 92 game 6 - chanting Ricky with all the 500s and he makes an error early in the game. BJ in a landslide. Wow. First time seeing play off baseball. Wow. 1st WS 2nd...

The decision of whether to consult w a tax professional prior to or during a call w cra is based on the potential cost of the issue vs accountants time x billable rate. Simple as that. Nobody with any appreciable money on the line should ever talk to CRA unsupported

You don’t need to watch the videos posted by OP to know the gist of their content. There are horror stories w CRA. Some are skewed and factually incomplete and others are absolutely 100 percent correct and damning. They are a massive organization. They have a stated purpose and many there are...

This was a good read. Insightful and useful. Thanks and best of luck.

I understand what you mean about the colours. I’m a fan of colour field. I rarely get bored of quality pieces and despite seeing them nearly everyday (function of where I work not what I own as I could never own quality pieces unless I won a lottery), I continue to see new aspects and question...

The Art world is an insane clique. insane cliques don’t let painters get away with painting a couple white and black lines off centered on a large canvas unless it knows the artist is an exceptional technical painter. Obviously exceptions to every rule, but we are discussing an entire period...

I came to an appreciation of various periods of art later in life. I enjoy the viewing relevance of post war contemporary/ abstract / colour field : list goes on and on. Not sure how common knowledge this is, but here is a good summary. If you want to read more it was broken/extensively...

Sub $1500The industry dupes you into spending money on the flashy machine. At that price point, Grinder, beans and water are the greatest determinants of quality given a machine (or a makers) ability to pull a consistent shot. once you are spending considerable money, the machine increases in...

I think in a world of inorganic meetings, the value of being able to create an organic meeting by saying hi, smiling , maintain 5-10 minutes of conversation by asking questions, being positive, being cognizant of body language, etc takes on significant added value. It’s really not hard. You...

Exactly - well put. For the non 6ft guys like myself , thankfully presence seems to equate to height for women - if you don’t tell them, they won’t know hahah.

OP - I’m not judging or criticizing or otherwise commenting, however are you using AI to write your posts? I’m asking as they don’t sound human. Which, not exactly shockingly, isn’t typically going to work with women. So…. I really enjoy casual anonymous meetings with woman. I have had a...

I thought a rip off was a botched circumcision :)

Wow - some serious counts in here. What’s the line from Shawshank? “All it takes is time and pressure” haha. I’m 5+ with less than 10. 10+ with less than 5. And nobody more than 15x. By end of year, if nothing changes, I’m guessing I’m 15-20 with 2 SP.

I haven’t been doing this long enough, but it’s going to happen with retired SP as the years pass by. my guess where? Downtown Service Ontario locations. It’s happened a disproportionate number of times with active SP.
