my bus was a tank today, got along real nice with her, good times all around.

Haaha, I work right above the York Mills GO station. Had so much fun watching the GO buses struggle to get uphill out of the station. I didn't get how come some buses were able to get up with no problems, but other buses were stuck. Are they equipped differently?

Man, Yonge was such a clusterfuck there. So many people got stuck. Nothing makes me grin more than watching a retard in his BMW who can't get up a slight slope while Civics zoom by with no problems.

Edit: I've always been a fan of snow. And now that I don't drive much, I love it even more. Woo Wooo! Hope more comes.

I love snow. I love it especially when its under minus 10 and you can hear the crunching everywhere. Fantastic

I love that cold crunch in the morning. No wind at all.

Cold crunch + Sun Shining (like it was this morning)

we eventually cut off service to york mills and starting running shuttles from yorkdale to sheppard subway instead.

they are equipped differently coaches 2100-2217 and 2267-2420 have 6 speed transmissions which eat snow for breakfast. coaches 2218-2266 have 10 speed manual transmissions which are a fucking joke and spin the tires in the snow, but more important is the driver, you gotta make a run at those hills and time the lights, if you make a full stop at that intersection uphill forget it your done. lol @ my detailed response

Korean better if we do it in Toronto. I dunno any decent Korean places in KW. Well, Sakura Island at King & University has a little bit of Korean but it's more hybrid Japanese Korean.

There is another place in downtown Kitchener I'm going to scout hopefully some time this week.

mmmm... galbi... *drool*

another suggestion. shwarma. there is this freaking awesome shwarma place near my house on highland just east of belmont.

real world with snow: being stuck in the middle of your street in a car that cannot move an inch because your street is always the last to be plowed, while other cars are trying to get by you on said street and are flashing their lights at you

Haha awwwwww!

not the snow... the salt

Posted by exstasie on Dec-22-2008 03:37:

This blows.

I just got back a few hours from Miami where it was 30C all week long.

People were suppose to shovel our driveway, and they didn't for some reason, so the first thing I had to do was shovel 30cm worth of snow right away.

I just love this country

you using water too? need to dissolve it out though suede is a bitch

Posted by Playa24_7 on Dec-22-2008 12:39:

I don't mind it at all actually. As long as you find things to do then you're fine.

I went Taboozning (tobogganing and drinks for those of you who don't know lol) with like 15 people on Friday haha. It was friggin hilarious and so much fun! As long as you dress for the weather you are fine!

A tip I learnt while working at Danier Leather:

Try white vinegar or a mixture of vinegar and water.
I havent tried it yet but Ive been told its safe on coloured suede.

Im going to give it a try in the next couple days on my black boots. Ill let you know how it works.

Or if you want to spend money go buy a suede shampoo. There are tons of them out there.

Also regardless of the method you try invest in a suede brush (worth about $10).

you know what, I bought one a while ago from ALDO - brush on one side, and a protector/groom stone kinda thing on the other.. and I find that the brush is too harsh, it pulls out "hairs" out of suede, and I don't like that

for now I just used a used dish washing sponge and warm water

but thanks for the tip regarding the shampoo! I'll check our nearest store
