First Day Of Spring In Port Loring

Leave a comment

Well first day of spring here in Port Loring Ontario.  Great day to be alive. Well any day being alive is better than the alternative.  Sure doesn’t feel like it temperature wise though, as this morning it was down to 12 degrees old school.  But there is warmth in the sun, so that is a sure sign things are moving toward them lazy hazy days of summer.  Thought I would put together our holiday and vacation dates for ya.  Take A Look.

Chinese-Made Drywall

Leave a comment

Kind of makes a feller think huh? Well……… just one more reason why we should be growing and building our own items right here in Canada. Take A Look. My Opinion Only

Officials are looking into claims that Chinese-made drywall installed in some Florida homes is emitting smelly, corrosive gases and ruining household systems such as air conditioners, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says.
Gas emitted from defective drywall corrodes copper wiring, turning it black, some Florida homeowners say.

Gas emitted from defective drywall corrodes copper wiring, turning it black, some Florida homeowners say.

The Florida Health Department, which is investigating whether the drywall poses any health risks, said it has received more than 140 homeowner complaints. And class-action lawsuits allege defective drywall has caused problems in at least three states — Florida, Louisiana and Alabama — while some attorneys involved claim such drywall may have been used in tens of thousands of U.S. homes.

Homeowners’ lawsuits contend the drywall has caused them to suffer health problems such as headaches and sore throats and face huge repair expenses.

The drywall is alleged to have high levels of sulfur and, according to homeowners’ complaints, the sulfur-based gases smell of rotten eggs and corrode piping and wiring, causing electronics and appliances to fail.

“It’s economically devastating, and it’s emotionally devastating,” said Florida attorney Ervin A. Gonzalez, who filed one of the lawsuits. It would cost a third of an affected home’s value to fix the dwelling, Gonzalez said.

Morning Humor, Young Versus Old

Leave a comment

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Apparently, a self-important college freshman attending a recent football game took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.

‘You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one’ the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. ‘The Young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon. Our space probes have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, ships and electric and hydrogen cars, cell phones. Computers with light-speed processing… And more.’

After a brief silence the senior citizen responded as follows:

‘You’re right, son. We didn’t have those things when we were young … so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little xx#*, what are you doing for the next generation?’
