Holy excitement at work today! There was a police chase, 2 14 year old girls stole their grandfathers mini-van, they tried to cut around a corner by my work, but ended up crashing headfirst into a parked pickup truck, the pickup truck was pushed back into my co-workers car, his car was then pushed over 2 car lengths into my other co-workers pick up truck... The girls were arrested and taken away in ambulances. Meanwhile, there was a rubber necker that stopped on a busy road to take a look at the festivities and a semi-truck hauling a load of pipe nearly crashed into him. The semi-truck slammed on his brakes, causing his load to shift and most of the tie down straps snapped. He then got ticketed (I think for improperly secured load, but not too sure). AND THEN... There was a guy that was tasered (I personally didn't see that part), and his vehicle was searched and seized.... What a Monday! All in all though, its good to see that nobody was seriously injured :biggrin:... What's in store for the rest of the week?

i wanna go home, i wanna go home, i wanna go home my parents come from vancouver today!!!

Okay besides that.. my womens hockey team is looking for fundraising idea's and a sponsor for new jerseys. Since they are 98% students money is not abundant and the sponsor on our jersey's went bankrupt like 2 years ago...
Does anyone have any expertise in Gaining Sponsorship. We are Currently "ESP VELOCITY"... I am sure we'd gladly get new/not old crappy buffalo sabers colors jerseys! We are the top team in our league and top 3 in the province, but there is just no one out there with a company willing to help. they all go for the kids teams, when we all need help to!

Any ideas or suggestions would be amazing.

we've got pub night $5 ticket gets you $5 at the bar (so free basically)(no pub crawls)
casino's
bingo's
a gift card program we run at christmas time where we sell gift cards to major stores and we get a commision from that.

keep in mind we are all university age, they all have school, and a handfull of us work full time! pm me if you have any ideas.... my brain is fried!

Flash,

I know EXACTLY where you're coming from. Same deal here for me, and I'm on two teams!

Some ways we found to save us some cash and cover our jersey costs;
- bottles (we've had a team raise 5K this year alone by collecting their own bottles and putting it up on FB, and other social media places).
- We looked at companies that make jersey's who don't normally target our sport as customers.
- We looked at local companies and found joint ventures worked really well; one company to get the uniforms, another to heat-press, stitch on logos/names/numbers.

Can you tell us more about what kind of sport you're talking about? I might be able to point you to some names, people, or places that could help you out.

Hey Lyndsy, (Hope I got it right)
What I do to sponsor and what may work for you is to go to your local watering holes and ask if you can pick up there empties. We give away 200 weekly to sport teams etc . Who ever asks.
Might be worth a try.

Damage runs front to back and it's gouged. Not sure if it happened last night while we were at a movie or at home. I know it's just a car but I'm so upset. I'm not a jerk driver that takes up 2 stalls, I will park where there are no other cars around.

I feel you're pain, I had the same thing happen when I was in Edmonton visiting some family; my pickup was keyed right down to the metal; leaving scars in it... I was so upset.

Sometimes I feel like I would have beat the person within an inch of their life if I'd had been lucky enough to catch them.

What a jerk!

I just don't understand why. It was hit in August by hail, had that fixed. I was upset but you can't control mother nature. I've been in tears all morning as its just such a mean thing to do. My bf is looking for a new vehicle and stopped this morning to talk to the guy I bought the car from. He said one of the guys in his body shop would probably repair it on the side for a case of beer. :biggrin:

I just have to call. You know, I'm sure if I'd caught whoever did this, I would likely have gone after them as well.

My vehicles were far from being a new car, so i feel your frustration.

Last summer someone backed into my jeep with a big dualie and took off. Crushed it too looked like they hit it hard. The whole drivers side was caved almost looked like I got t-boned luckily for me there was a witness who got the trucks make but no plate. Living in a small town its not hard to track down the car though. $4800 later my jeep is as good as new and that persons insurance is good and pricey. as well as a hit and run and leaving the scene of an accident charge. Just remember, karma is a 'b' they'll get what's coming to them in the end.

Esquire, doesn't matter what kinda vehicle or where it's parked, still not acceptable. Bet it felt good to lay some beats on the guy, but ya, probably not the best thing to do.

Just some FYI for those who own apple products..... I something goes wrong with it and it is still on warranty don't think you are just going to walk into an Apple store and have it taken care of.

Today I decided I better go get my 4s replaced because the ear speaker is toast. Wife & I jumped into the truck & drove the 150 km to Edmonton.............just to be told......... Sure we can help you with that.........TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!

Are you 'F'ing kidding me!!!! Tomorrow!!!! I drove 150km to get told tomorrow!!!!!! Needless to say I was not impressed & I am sure the whole store new it, actually I know the whole store knew it as I made sure of it.

The wife wants a Mac desktop but after this I am having second thoughts about it & I am so glad that so far the wife's 4s & both are iPads have had no issues.

send me that pm and see what happens...at the first sign of anyone being belittled or talked down too and i guarantee i will be at your door .....literally.


if anyone wants to be an ass and tell someone else how they should speak or what questions they should ask or they post too much.....pm me and ill give you specific direction on where you can go and how to get there.

if someone rubs you the wrong way or bothers you do the grown up thing and ignore it(theres an ignore list) or send your concern to one of the mods , its their job to deicde whats right and wrong on a site not yours......

we are not here to drive away good members who want nothing else but to be a part of the family we have here.

this doesnt apply to everyone but def quite a few lately....

If its anyone I know getting bullied that really ****es me off!! And I have a cure for the bullies!! It's not cool if you are like that on a public forum & I dare you to direct your crap my way!!

I have meet some really awesome people here & some I have not seen post for a long time. I don't care if I post 1000 times a day & really no one else should either. I know for a fact when I first started I ask some really stupid questions but if you don't ask you will never know what is right. I had a teacher who had the saying " No question is a stupid question on a banner in there class room and it the only way to learn.

Been battling cluster head aches for most of my life. They've become less as time ages my old bones
But I feel like such a kids when my wife has to call my boss in the morning to let them no I can't make it into work. And better yet most people don't know what cluster headaches are so it almost seems like a lame exude to use. I would call in my self but I Litteraly am half paralyzed like a stroke victim. Thankfully this one only lasted 14 hours not the usual 2 days

Dude that is brutal!! I get massive migraines to do a car accident 5 yrs ago and they are totally debilitating some days and can last for days as well. My aunt gets cluster headaches and the first time it happened we thought she had a stroke. I have to use several ice packs on the back of my head and neck to reduce the pain.

they use to put me on oxygen and shoot antiinflamitories into the base of my skull but the nerologist that did it has since left town. now most hospitals look at me like im jonesing.paramedics once picked me up off the pavement when i fell out of the truck from being parlyzed buy the head ache. when i got in the ER they figured i was lookin for a hit and i stayed in the waitin room for 4 hours before leaving.... since then i have alternitive means of pain relief

That is absolutely brutal!! Doctors/nurses can be such morons when it comes to pain management. Amazingly enough, this is now a specialized practice, if you can see a specialist, I highly recommend it!! I'm sure you've already done everything you can to cope, just sucks to be so mistreated due to lack of understanding. Hope you're feeling better soon!

That really sucks, I never really understood why people get off damaging stuff that others worked hard to get.

If you report it to the police you should have no problem getting the work done through your insurance company. Vandalism shouldn't effect rates if you have a descent company.

If the damage isn't too extensive and is just light surface scratches you could get a color match bottle of paint, mask the area off and use an air brush to paint the scratches. A few very light coats is key. As long as the rest of the paint isn't faded it should blend pretty well, just do a wax job after the paint has fully cured. The body shop will sand, prime, paint and clear coat the area, hence the price. Not a whole lot of real body people out there these days, usually it's easier and cheaper to do panel replacement so restorative works costs a premium. There are other options like trade colleges and high schools that are alway looking for projects but your vehicle could be gone for quite a long time.

The damage is down to the metal, it was a knife not a key and covers 2 panels on the passenger side. I've only had this car since July and while I like the idea of helping students learn, it's not a car I would trust to someone learning. The shop that did the hail repairs scratched the hell out of it, so it's not going back there. Insurance can pay for it, that's what it's for.

I'm still super ****ed that someone did this, hope karma comes back around.

One can only hope. I have a couple of long scratches on my truck. My daughter saw a kid playing with a rock beside my truck but didn't bother to actually go see what he was doing so I had no proof. That was 1 1/2 years ago and I'm still mad about it, probably because I'm 99% sure what happened but can't do anything about it. I know a really good body shop up this direction but unfortunately don't have any recommendations for Calgary.

It makes me feel calmer when the day is at an end.

Aren't rats supposed to be incredibly intelligent? I've heard that they can be trained to go for walks on a leash and perform tricks. Hamsters stink like urine. I tried raising them as food for my snakes and I couldn't stand the smell.

I think this is done by accident a lot of the time. I know I've done it by accident a few times. You hit up the quote button because you want to quote what they said, but then end up bringing in all the pictures that was in that post as well. The edit window only shows the image link so it's not immediately obvious that you are about to link in a crap load of pics. Therefore, you have to know and or remember to delete those photo links. It is an extra step that is easily forgotten or simply not thought to be done by newbies. It makes matters worse when you can't go back to edit your post to delete those accidentally quoted image links. Just sayin' :-) Of course, then there are those douchebags like me who like to quote image links for fun every now and again to **** off you and Myka.

This is correct. All I see are the image links wrapped in the IMG tag so it is easily lost within the other text that I actually want to quote. Usually I'm quoting and posting by the seat of my pants so remembering to look for and delete those images tags is extra effort :-)

Actually, now that I think about it, did the forum always include images in quotes? Maybe I'm thinking of another forum but I thought that it didn't do that at one point?

I am so fed up with my job, contractors, clients etc..... Contractors think they can take their sweet ass time getting a job done when they've been paid a 50% deposit. Oh, let's walk away from the job right in the middle of the day and leave the client (me) to deal with the fallout of ****ed off people emailing, calling and stopping in to complain. Or let's do a major power upgrade and when the entire building's power trips, its because the tenants are now overloading the system????? WE JUST UPGRADED THE AMOUNT OF POWER AVAILABLE!!!! Or, how about contractors who arbitrariliy decide to terminate their contract, with no notice they are terminating a contract, stop performing the work, but continue to invoice, including providing timesheets, we find out 3 months later and are still waiting to be reimbursed. Or, another on another project, the contractor was requested to provide information so that once completed, we could hit the ground running, no, don't get it and when we do, the supplier has no clue what we are even talking about. And the job is not completed because we were informed of final connection requirements. And I get blasted for documents not being completed, when I am not the one responsible for completing the documents, I don't negotiate corporate contracts, yet, I am asked to decipher what the corporate people come up with? Morons!!!! I just finished yelling at my boss for this, well plugged my ears so I couldn't hear him....

What is wrong with contractors in this city???? These are not mom and pop groups, they are big corporations and they really do not give a crap about performance or reputation. There's a lot of folks getting fired now as I've had enough....Its not specific industry, its all of them it seems. AGH....sorry for the rant....
