You want to know how to find more coins? Check the coin return tray and the area around the coinstar machines in walmart, when i was in niagara falls last week i found a total of 0.37 near those machines in 2 days.

captaintrolley Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 So my friend Ramona just won Famoso Pizza's Free Pizza for a Year contest. She is some happy right now. And, if it weren't for me... she wouldn't even have known about the contest !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom1122 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Even though Sony quoted almost $300 to repair my camera, I took a friend's advice and took it to a location he recommended. They were able to fix it for under $74.00 and earlier I got it back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaintrolley Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 This is awesome. I should really be appalled by this incident, but this couldn't have happened to a *nicer* person. Twinkle Toes the resident therapy cat at the nursing home brought my mom a dead (albeit still warm) mouse during the middle of the night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Express691 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 So I played keno because I was short by a dollar. I chose one number and the fact that it was the first winning number in the draw that was selected made my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captaintrolley Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Got together with my neighbor and we brought a bunch of bedspreads, throws, comforters, etc to the laundromat. She has a car, so much easier than to take it all on the bus. I had two comforters, a large knit throw and a bedspread, she had a large double sized bedspread and a winter coat. The laundromat is next to a deli, so I sprung for coffee and a light lunch. Feels SO good to get the big stuff done and out of the way. Those items are just to big to go into apartment sized machines. Then a load of regular washing to do tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaintrolley Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 FY, got a ride home with the groceries today. Encountered my room mate at the mall, and since he was going back home I convinced him to hang on for 20 minutes till I was done getting groceries...since he was 'going my way' anyhow.

captaintrolley Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Supposed to get a storm tonight. I hope it is one of those action packed wild prairie storms The *storm* lasted all of 5 minutes. A bit of wind and rain with some background noise. My anticipated FY moment became a dismal FAIL moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captaintrolley Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 True Story.. So I was on the rte 3 coming back from JPC. There were the usual gaggle of drivers holding court on board going back to Mitchell. One of them was a lady, from her badge number I would say she had about 10 years seniority. She was chewing and snapping her gum and my first impression was less than impressive. Anyhow, they took turns chatting about their daily highlights and other operational anecdotes when the lady spoke up about driving the route 7 (trolley) one day. This isn't about her story. She wrapped up her tale by saying that she really loved driving trolleys and still misses them. Her gum chewing demerits vanished just like that. I'm still smiling.

You should have seen yesterday here in toronto, the storm was awesome! I was connecting from the 24 to the 52 at carlignview and dixon, suddenly it got very dark at like 4 pm. A few minutes later, out of nowhere lighting struck the hotel right across the street from where i was waiting, then it started pouring. Below is a shot of it getting suddenly really dark at like 4 pm, minutes before the lightning strike, also a shot of how heavy it was raining. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T3G Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Last night I was wandering around Slovakia and an enormous thunderstorm started literally minutes after I got back to the car. The road was soaked and the sky lit up every couple of minutes, and I got it all on dashcam. My glasses had a lot of smudges on them so when a car passed in the opposite direction everything was just a blur of noise and light. I wouldn't have wanted to be driving in that weather LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
