Well that's irritating. I guess I'll be sure Ghostrank is off.

I don't know about "huge" but they're asking questions that are simply none of their business. I don't see why I should give them any information beyond what is needed to complete the transaction.

I've never heard of this before. Now I'm not from the US but we have postal codes and I have never been asked for my postal code when using a credit card.

Weekly. I have young kids and they love the library. We read for about 2 hours every day. If we didn't go regularly I'd have to read the same books all the time which, for an adult, gets tedious. I like getting new books to read to my kids.

The automatic truncation of headlines on the main page made this one rather amusing in a macabre way: "Uh, Angelina Jolie Skipped Her Aunt's Funeral For Brad Pitt's..."

A straw wouldn't help that much unless you're putting the straw in your throat, in which case just use a nasogastric tube so it never touches any part of your mouth. However, if you don't want to taste this expensive beverage with no nutritional value then why bother with it at all.

They have colour segregated bike weeks? What a weird place.

I have never understood why people don't take a recipe card with the words of the thing on it. It's the time to be singing a song not seeing how good your memory stands up under pressure.

Wait a minute. I thought we (Canada) were the haven for US terrorists. Now it turns out some Asian foreigners are the haven for US terrorists? That is messed up. I don't know if we should ram the Keystone XL pipeline through your country or not anymore.

I usually say something like, "That's interesting, I've seen this before, too. I found this site instructive - www.snopes.####" or other debunking web page that I found useful for the given foolishness.

Wouldn't the Argentinian example be better as an honourable mention or something since it never actually happened. All the other ones were real and cost real money, or am I missing something here.

I always use adblocking software and have done as long as it's been around. I see no value in traditional advertising. If I need something I look for it. I don't want a "well-meaning" staff person at a store bringing item after item for me to look at and asking if I want it, either. If I need help I'll ask for it.…

For many people they need the phone part of their phone rarely. Indeed, the phone feature of smart phones seems to be the least used (and getting less) aspect of it. Making a smartphone that must be really comfortable to hold up to your ear is a silly restriction for many people.

Compartmentalizing your life so your dream job has no location seems odd to me. If you hate where you live but have a "dream job" it doesn't seem like a dream job anymore. Perhaps it's the difference between kinds of people. I can't imagine what a "dream job" would be but it would, by necessity be near my family and…

About 80 but almost all are free. I have only ever paid for one, swiftkey. I do delete and add others pretty frequently.

I filter everything that is forwarded to more than one person in one folder (named internal spam) and almost all of it is deleted with only a cursory viewing since it's almost never actually intended for me specifically.

I'm not sure how SiriusXM's system works but I got a 3 month trial (no sign up so I haven't been charged for anything) when I bought my car and it's still going strong after 2 years. This is to my own benefit but it points to a pretty lax or screwed up system.

This is a personal reflection and not to be considered what all people that work in this field feel or how they would act. Mr. Tomsky sounds burnt out and no doubt many other hotel workers are as well but this is a memoir and so should be taken with a grain of salt.

It looks like he's skipping rope or something.

Rube Goldberg would be proud.
