That poor mofo needs around the clock therapy. I feel bad for the dude but he made his choices and has to deal with them. Or in his case not deal with them and just do whatever his addled mind seemingly but not so randomly chooses to do.

You know, it's funny. People are constantly harping on Mayne, yet everyone and their uncle wants him back. LMAO I even find it funny his posts get more then three pages of posts.

It's really simple.

1. Don't bump this thread.
2. Ignore his postings.
3. Enjoy life outside this forums..

Well, since your "from the Internet" and look like a crazed lady I will take your advice and hope others do the same. :D

So about that job I got. I did my first shift and it was probably best day of my life. Got to see all the guys again and everyone was so happy to see me back after 7 years. Next day I got a call and I was fired. Apparently the guy that hired me back in the day got wind of me being back in the company and had "serious issues" with it.

Well it was nice being back with the old gang even if it was for only one day. Oh well :(

and had to repeat a year of school. Spent the rest of my schooling with my sister who is 10 months younger than me.

So awkward my whole life.

Here are 3 places I lived from ages of my earliest memory to 12.

I had many great memories here as a little boy even though it was a project. The don valley was down the road and me and my bro would go there almost every day and do stuff.

This is a place in Saskatoon we moved to after my mom dumped my dad and met this new guy..he took us out here and it was very cold. My bedroom i shared with my brother is on the bottom right, spent many a scared night because of loud noises from the building..brother was always out late playing hockey for the saskatoon blades. Place was great though because there was lots of construction going on and so we played dirt-lump wars with other kids in neighbourhood.

We eventually left Saskatoon after a couple years and moved to Calgary. We finally had a house to live in, it was amazing. Met many great friends here and some to this day.

I will not post the hundreds of places I've lived since I stopped living with my parents when I ran away from home at age 15.

Guess I'm feeling nostalgic today.

Detroit.jpg


This was our second home in Detroit but I was too young to remember the first one. This was a nice home at the time. Most of the streets in Detroit were lined with elm trees. They're all dead and gone now what with dutch elm disease doing them in. The shrubs of course weren't overgrown, the driveway led to a detached one car garage that is now evidently gone. Played my first game of I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours with the daughter of a friend of my mothers in that garage.

We walked a few blocks to school year round, the Dentist was on the corner and as a kid I walked there myself for my appointments. On the opposite corner was the drugstore with penny candy. My how things have changed.

My parents had this home built and we moved into it the year Kennedy was shot. This is where I spend the rest of my years. I graduated from HS while living in this house and then moved out on my own. We rode our bikes all over the damned place when we lived here. In the summer we'd take off and come home for lunch if we were hungry or dinner if we could wait until later. We entertained ourselves and it was never given a second thought if we were gone all day long. We had an above ground pool in the backyard which of course is history and the fence at that time was a wooden privacy fence. The house was sided in red siding which they at first had mistakenly had put on the neighbor's house to the right. The neighbor didn't want the red so they tore in off and put it on our house. That must have been quite the ordeal. I still remember the stories of everything that went wrong while that house was being built.

Took the bus to school until I was old enough to drive. My first set of wheels was a motorcycle that I sold to buy a car when the weather got cold. I had a paper route at 12 and earned enough to buy that first bike and the car. At sixteen, I pumped gas at a gas station and greatly increased my income which meant a better car of course.

I am just curious if anyone has ever failed kindergarten like I did.

the school promoted me from K to 1st in the middle of the year when my K teacher found i had already been reading for 3 years

the 1st graders hated me though
