Best way to sell a used car in Ottawa?

Actually, I think it was Top Gear that ran one into a wall at like 130kph. I believe the problem was that it's not the car that's going to kill you, but simply that your organs can't handle the force that comes with going from 130kph to 0 in a split-second.

Also, technically, only the gold-topped cans are supposed to be taken back, but in my experience, the machines usually take the silver-topped out-of-province cans anyway (Same bar code, so...)

Energy drink cans are refundable. Bottled water isn't.

Usually, as long as it's stated somewhere that it's refundable (like the top of cans, or somewhere above the label on pop bottles), you shouldn't have a problem. I just dump it in the machine and see if it takes it. If it spits it back at me, oh well.

Masson-Angers, so perhaps a bit outside of what would be considered Ottawa-area, but this one has always caught my eye in a "WTF were they on?" sort of way

Alright. I'll look at paying them a visit on Monday.

Not so sure about your comment regarding the Regie. I had another stupid roommate who decided to withhold the rent cheques (I had a money order) she said she was going to put in the mail for bullshit reasons (basically, information she could've Googled) and I found out by a letter from them saying we had a court date, which basically consisted of sitting in the waiting room for an hour to basically be told "You have such and such time to make sure this is taken care of."

Thanks, though.

He is not on the lease, so I'm assuming if it comes to tthat, I'd have to go to small-claims?

I'm hoping it's an honest mistake, but as someone who makes damn sure that any cheque I send out clears, I don't see how you don't notice it.

Yep, I arrived at home on the bus (which, at this point, was full of CEGEP students), and once we were in view of the Gabby campus, all you could hear were groans and French cursing.

I feel sorry for the people that actually want to attend their classes...

If you need a truck (anything bigger than a cargo van), assuming you're too young to rent from places like Budget or Avis, and you're doing a lot of mileage (like over 50km round-trip), I would recommend Ryder. You can get a bigger truck for a much cheaper price.

The initial cost is higher, but the mileage is a fraction of what you would pay at U-Haul. If you end up going with U-Haul, I would avoid the Coventry road location unless you like standing in a line that goes all the way to the door and they only have two people working the counter.

If it were January, I would be looking for a place, but I'm sticking out the remainder of my lease where I am.

I was doing maintenance at my store once. We have two sets of vats that we use for chicken, but usually only use one unless it something like Canada day, so we alternate them. Took the covers off the ones that were currently off and there was a dead moth floating at the top. No idea how the hell he got in there...

You would think someone would have noticed something like that somewhere between the fryer and your tray, though...

The worst is when you barely have to go as you're on your way home, but the closer you get, the worse you have to go. By the time you make it to the bathroom, it's a fucking photo-finish.

I never really came out as such. Just introduced them to my boyfriend at the time. My dad said something along the lines of 'We were wondering when you were going to say something.'

Isn't her brother the one that's saying that this guy is basically a model citizen despite some issues with the cops in the past blah blah blah?

I can't help but think they sometimes get bored. One time on Cooper street, someone called in a domestic dispute. There was at least 10 Ottawa cop cars (most of which were parked the wrong way), and a few black unmarked cars, as well as a few ambulances.

With that said, as far as ambulances go, it probably never hurts to have as many hands as you can if you have someone that's seriously ill. I'm no medical expert, but...

Sleeping at my friends place on his piece of shit of a couch. Woke up in the middle of the night feeling sore, and most of the cushions were thrown across the room.

To be fair, there really hasn't been anything much new to talk about. I think the most recent thing would be the Sens players on Sweden all racking up points, and then ~~the pane of glass~~ Regin signing a one-year contract.

I've only met one person who did this: My first ex.

It was one of the fuckton of reasons why he's now my ex.

My parents are usually good with technology. For some reason, I was using my mom's computer. I'd turned the monitor off before I left as opposed to letting it go to sleep for some reason or another.

Anyway, came back home, and my parents had the whole thing ripped apart. They didn't think to try the power button on the monitor.

Of course, I tend to be the same way. Computer not starting up? First thought is the power supply is dead, instead of checking the power cord.

We lived in the Ottawa-Gatineau region (Ontario/Quebec, Canada), they lived in Hong Kong. Crisis averted.

21 here. Would rather work 11PM-7AM (which seems to be my main social activity these days), sleep, then have my evenings to do what I want. Gets in the way when I have shit to do, such as the rare time I have to see a human being at my bank, which is only open Monday-Friday 9:30-4 or some stupid shit). I also only have the one real close friend that I see maybe once a week.

Besides, it adds an extra $100 to my pay at the end of the month, which is nice when you're trying to put money away for school.
