Will the class of 2010 please rise...

[Meadbh]

Generally I avoid TO like the plague so can't be much help, except that there is a nice Portuguese place called Adega on Elm Street (turn up your speakers) Adega Restaurante

and you could take a look here for the trendy places...

Go on fellow Canucks: help the man!

For those who don't know, "Spotted Dick" is an English pudding.

Spotted Dick

Apologies if I implied any double meaning

 

[audreyh1]

I'm so glad you guys started the "class of" thing. I think it was really missing on this forum. It makes so much sense. On the RV forums they had "class of" for people going fulltime, and it really helped people connect who were going through the same life change at the same time.

Congrats to you all!

Audrey (class of 1999)

After the spotted dick, I'm not sure that this thread has any class!

 

[Stevewc]

I guess that's the same as a diseased prick

Yes, the thread has started a nose dive.
OK Ok I shouldn't have gone there !!!

Well, I won't! Heard you were going to be in TO. Why not celebrate ESR by taking a stroll through the Giant Colon?

Toronto mallgoers take a stroll through giant colon

Interesting part is that TO, itself, tends to be then "end of the line" if you are talking colons.

The humor on this forum has really reached the bottom this time.

Did I manage to get under the bottom with this post?

You can add Dreamer's DH. His company was offering a Voluntary Separation Program and he put in and they accepted him. They said that most people would no longer be an employee effective 5/31/10. His last day as an employee is 11/30/10, but his Advance Notice period starts 10/1/10 and he should not have to work beginning 10/1/10. He will receive his regular pay for 18 months beginning 12/01/10. This was an answer to our prayers. He was so stressed out from his job and was diagnosed with depression and anxiety over a year ago. He was on 4 different medications. He was ecstatic and his mood has already improved greatly. He has recently lost 23 lbs and we are walking again. He talked to his doctor about getting weaned off the medication and will finish with one of the medications this weekend. The night before this company offer came, he came home from work and his hands were shaking and he was dragging. We sat down and I told him that he could not go on with this job and we needed to talk to his doctor about filing for disability. As I said, this was literally an answer to our prayers. I can not believe how he has changed in such a short amount of time.

What a great story. Sometimes when things can't get any worse they get better! Congrats to both of you.

I haven't posted until now....

You need a menu to suit your former employment, something like:
Spotted Dick for afters.

Make mine an extra large please...to go....

Thanks, Chemist.

Submitted my resignation for June 24, 2010. Going thru all the paperwork to get it done. Lots of details but nothing too hard so far. Hopefully by the end of this week it'll be done and I can enjoy my last official spring break.

Our school district is in such dire straights that they want to give us a large chunk of $$ to retire early. Was going out this year anyway so it's manna from heaven essentially! Gotta love that financial crisis.

June 24? That's right around the corner. Congratulations!

Thanks, my wife and I are retiring at the same time so we are pretty excited. Looking forward to being able to surf when there are waves and not just when I have the day off.

Reminds me of a joke that ended with "... don't know what he was doing but it took the undertaker an hour to get the grin off his face"

Maybe it's the post-recession rebound effect?
