$60M is a good lottery win.  it is enough to do something really useful with.   You could be a good Venture Capitalist in K-W for instance with $60M.
Anyway why should free money be distributed  much better to generate a really rich class in Canada...

I've always felt that Lotto draws should be capped at $5M. If the pot is $10M then there would be a second draw for the other $5M.

Why not just give everybody half of what they spent on tickets?

Geez, the most I'd ever win in a year then is $3...that would suck.  :P

Not idea where to throw this.  Took the kids to Lego land today.  Passes were on sale, $30 per person for the 2019 year.  But you have to use it once before Dec 31, 2018. Anyway, at lunch time I use the washroom.  Guy next to me using the urinal, with his right hand he is somehow using his phone to browse or something.  He finishes, walks out of the washroom, on his way out almost knocks a kid down, because he is texting on his bloody phone.  Doesn't even wash his hands.  Was so grossed out!

Finally done moving over 7,000 pictures off Flikr and beating the cut off date.  Now Google knows what I have been doing over the last 15+ years.

Where did you move the pictures to?  Google?

Yes, Google Photos.

What prompted the move?  I currently have 8,900 pictures on Flickr.

The free plan will be limited to only 1,000 images so they will be deleting everything over this amount. Plus I have zero interest in paying to store my images when I can do it for free.

I never used flickr as a photo backup, so I have fewer than 1000 and it wasn't that huge a deal for me.   

Is there any good reason NOT to use Google?   I have a few on there, but figure they'll also want money one of these days.

^BTW, I think Photobucket links are no longer broken, just watermarked heavily.
Works for me, much better than leaving all the dead links all over the interwebs

Yeah, free storage is limited to pictures 16 megapixels or less.

Checked some of my old posts with links to photobucket and they work too with watermarks. Glad photobucket fixed this issue.

Where the hell is that drunk guy with the bad liver from Saskratchmewan and his hamburger buddy?  Moves to Wpg and disappears?  More available women in the land of two rivers and lots of fishes or whatever that dating site is called?  Just curious...maybe he got caught in a bad wind on Ptg and Main... :think:

Nobody takes personal responsibility for anything these days...nothing is every "your fault".  Those in her care were put at severe risk, period.  These types of stories upset me so much, I can't even put a coherent thought together.
