shop and save

This phrase has bugged me for years. You CANNOT shop and save. I can save by NOT shopping. They should be saying what they mean: "shop and SPEND LESS than you would shopping elsewhere".

Next time you see a "shop and save" commercial, go to that place of business, grab some merchandise and ask for a fiver. That way you do indeed shop AND save. In fact there should be a law that forces them to do this....something about false advertising.

hernia surgery

I am currently recovering from hernia surgery. The procedure was done yesterday (Jan 5th).

Good thing: I'll be off work for at least 4 weeks

Bad thing: Thunder Bay liquor stores will be left unprotected


UPDATE: I got 7.5 weeks off. I will be returning to work February 28th.
