Toronto just entered Phase 2 on Wednesday. Restaurants open now, with patio dining only, 50% capacity, min 2m distancing; salons and malls also opened. Talk to me in 2 weeks.

Generally things are better up here ... unless you’re a senior in an LTC. 🙁
I really think Seniors have it tough that are in those facilities. If one of the residents or staff in the facility come down with the virus it seems to spread. It is rather sad.

We in NJ are going to allow Libraries and Malls and Bowling Alleys .....all inside places to open up. All are required to have reduced capacity. These new Reopenings will begin July 2nd.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.

Doesn’t help that we blew it big time. 81% of our deaths have occurred in LTC’s ... about double that of other so-called wealthy nations. Very, very sad.

My SIL’s father passed away last week (not COVID related) and they had to watch him die through a window, while a cell phone was being held by the nurses as they comforted him through his last hours. My eyes are teary just typing it.

There are many more of us out here and you definitely don't necessarily need a girl that shows no respect to be happy.

Yes, relationships can be a great thing and it's nice to have someone to share with, but don't make the mistake of thinking you CAN'T be happy if you're not in a relationship. When you start defining yourself by that and measuring your success by having a significant other, you could end up settling for less than you should. Focus on what you like to do and then a relationship is icing on the cake.

If I might make a suggestion, if you have any hobbies, those are often good places to meet peope with like interests that you could hit it off with. Join a group or organization in your area that sounds like fun....a book club, or a sport, or whatever interests you. Somewhere to meet people outside of work. Then, even if you don't meet "the one" there, you're still enjoying yourself and you might meet someone who leads you to finding that person. I would never have met my husband if I hadn't been dating the guy I did in college. He was on the MUD and kept talking about it and it was really boring to me because I didn't understand it. He asked me to try it out, I did, and met a lot of really cool people. When I broke off my engagement to the guy I was seeing, my now husband admitted he had a crush, but had thought it was hopeless as I was taken. Maybe someone will have a friend, or a cousin, or a coworker who they want to introduce you to and then it just clicks. Just go into it with an intention to have fun and do your hobby and who knows what will happen. People also tend to be much more attractive when they are in their element and enjoying themselves. A girl might take notice of you in the right setting where you're relaxed and happy.

I think this is great advice. I also think that when you are actually not really looking and just out enjoying yourself in something you like doing that is when things might surface. So there really is no need for the pressure of it all. Go out and have fun and you never know what may be out there.

Slight paraphrase, but yes.
It was either him or Jordan and you’re Cananadian so I went with hockey.
I am a Flyers fan. I guess Eric Lindros or Ron Hextall are "The Great Ones" of this organization.
Definitely Lindros. I actually think of Hextall as an Islander.
Lacrosse is the national summer sport.
Hockey is the national winter sport.
Curling is what you watch when there’s nothing on tv, just for the “hurry hard” and “sweep, sweep” calls.
When my friend and I went to Toronto tonvisit the Hockey Hall of Fame we watched curling on TV - it was literally on 24/7.
Even Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby don't deserve to be considered equal to Wayne Gretzky.
Possibly Lemieux.

Hextall is the GM of the Flyers and he played his entire career with the Flyers except 1 year in New York and 1 in Quebec. Lemieux would have been there from what I have heard from my dad if his career wasn't cut short.

I speak from very much experience, having been in a really bad relationship for several years because I was so insecure and I thought it was better to have someone than be alone....the BTN syndrome...better than nothing. I wasn't really interested in the guy, but I didn't want to hurt his feelings. I was a coward and I just stayed with him for so long because I didn't think I could do any better. I ended up hurting him even more when I finally had the courage to end it, and the only reason I did was because he was getting increasingly possessive and jealous and had started being destructive. I was afraid the next step would be physical violence, so I called off the engagement. I feel like I really dodged a bullet. SO many red flags I missed, and so many mistakes I made. If I can spare someone else that experience, I will happily share my "wisdom".
