Places To Live

[headymamamyrna]

Ottawa has been ranked as the number 1 place to live and Kingston is 2nd!!!

I would suggest Kingston as the best place to live and Ottawa second.

[phishtaper]

ranked by whom? boring people?

Guelph is much better than either of those two dirtholes. we have lesbians, pot and organic farms. we don't have a Keg, though. we could use a Keg.

Yes. I am curious about who made these rankings as well. I've lived in both cities, and both were fine, but certainly not my top-rated places to live in this country; in my experience.

Where are these rankings published?

[questcequecest?]

Money Sense magazine, it seems:

680 News Story

[StoneMtn]

I'd be interested to see which "179 cities" were chosen for the rankings. I wonder if the city to which I am moving was even considered. I'd also like to see the criteria, who was surveyed, whether there was an attempt to survey a varied/wide group...

Nothing like a soundbyte, with nothing to back it up, to create waves.

"Along with Oakville and Mississauga, Burlington also makes it into the top five when it comes to the weather."

hmmmm ...

I hope Oshawa is in the top 10....oops I mean I hope Oshawa was removed from the test question and forgoten forever.

Someone's jealous!

I can think of one reason that hands down makes Ottawa a better place to live than Kingston: sharing a border with Quebec.

[bONES]

I would just like to remind people that Toronto is the centre of the universe..thank you and carry on

The quality of our hotel parking garages was not a factor in this report.

I could live anywhere. I could leave anywhere too.

Sharing a border (essentially) with the States is pretty fucking wicked. Living so close to the Thousand Islands border was more than handy when I lived in Kingston.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a picture of the water tower for this place, but it has this logo on it, for the world to see:

Always makes me laugh. New Minas, it's kind of allright!

FWIW, Vancouver is probably my favorite Canadian City...New Minas a close second though.

Florida tries to ban sex with animals. Again.

Florida is one of only a dozen or so states that don't have a law against having sex with aminals.

But they keep trying to put one on the books.

Sen. Nan Rich, of Weston, a sponsor of the current bill, has tried to get a law against beastiality for years. Rich cited recent cases of bestiality, including a man from a place called Mossy Head who was suspected of accidentally asphyxiating a family goat during a sex act, reports NBCMiami.com

Add there were a few others that gave new meaning to "doggie style."

And the woman who had sex with a dog -- and taped it.

Then there was the culinary student that had sex with his dog.

The the pit bull that was sexually assaulted. Yes, someone had sex with a pit bull.

And lastly, the the Palm Coast woman who adopted shelter dogs just so she could have sex with them.

The law was passed unanimously by the Senate this week. It would make it a first-degree misdemeanor to have sex with an animal, with a penalty of up to a year in jail.

The Senate had passed a similar bill last year, but it fizzled out before it came before the House. The House bill has a similar measure, but it awaits debate.

Stay in school, kids

having the ability to plan ahead and just buy more before the holiday > not having the ability to plan ahead and just buy more before the holiday

This requires that odd type of discipline that I've noted in others, but have never fully been able to understand: the ability to keep beer in the fridge and ration it.

I'm with Ollie on this one.

[Booche]

Daveyboy 2.0 = clear winner. If you dont have more than enough booze on hand for any given situation then you shouldnt be drinking in the first place.

[Davey Boy 2.0]

if you guys need a boozing mentor, lemme know but keep in mind that i don't accept Zimas as payment

[Esau.]

anywhere?

I could live in a dry county. A lot of money to be made as a bootlegger. $60 mickeys.

having the ability to plan ahead and just buy more before the holiday > not having the ability to plan ahead and just buy more before the holiday

You know.
