I went to to a proper running shoe store today and they immediately were able to figure out why I was getting chin pain during and after running. Immediately I felt relief as I tried the shoes on in the store and ran with them, in the store... I'd suggest you go to a running shoe store (a proper...

The "trick" of recruiting is, merit-listed doesn't mean anything unless there's a job offer to follow it! I had my application, medical, interviews and merit-listed within 2 weeks... but the job offer could be months and months in the making. So, it's fairly accurate to state as George said...

Man, you mean, they survived the first one??????

I made an emergency trip to the Nutty Chocolatier to purchase fudge for my pregnant boss who was going ballistic at incompetent contractors. It's not a good idea to piss off a very pregnant lady. So, I think the fudge helped. I stopped hearing swears after a few minutes... 

I was tempted to raise that idea, especially after hearing about the dude who coloured his woman's hair!! :) hahaha!

I've reached for that magic "undo" button more than once, always shocked when I realise it isn't there! Maybe see if you can get a trendy french haircut... the stylists can do amazing things with short hair! 

I've been mighty tempted lately my friend! We'll see how the first week goes, then maybe I'll resort to the mostly bald look, haha!

Hey there, I had long hair last summer and I did a three-week pre-recruit training course. When you have 5 minutes to pretty much shower, change, do your hair and get into formation? It just doesn't work. First thing when I got home was cut it all off and go real short. (mine was half-way down...

Amen. As an ex-military wife who followed my spouse to support him and his role in the military, this was essential for my survival as I relocated to an area with an incredible amount of high-unemployment...

I was just gonna say, Bernardo & Pig Killer Picton would be my #1 and 2 respectively.... very close to a tie, and then whats-her-face Karla Homolka...

She actually suggested that one too!!  Man, you guys are goooooood....

Thanks Tango! A very good suggestion and the second time I heard this today! My friend is a running coach (in Italy) and that's exactly what she suggested as well! Being so close to BMQ, she's trying to get me to avoid injuring myself the next few weeks and said the bike would be perfect.

I had little choice the last few months BUT to focus on the strength training and I found it has helped my endurance with running and most definitely with the push-ups. I find though when I crap out during runs, it's because of the lungs wanting to explode (implode?!) and not because my legs are...

Hey Algae, nice to see another long-distance swimmer! I too can swim for pretty much forever at a decent pace and not go out of breath or tire easily. However, running? Feels impossible. I do try to however, implement the same kind of breathing for running that I do for swimming (same rhythm...

Mwahahaha! Excellent fire-starter!

I wasn't stating that the food was horrible.... on the contrary, a lot of work is put into the meals (in Borden, anyways) and no one went hungry or complained about the food while I was on course. The staff were amazing and very professional and you could tell they took pride in what they were...

I'm a bit the same way with my eating, though I wouldn't call it Primal. (I picture you eating an uncooked leg of a cow as I read that!) I prefer to call it "whole foods" which is essentially anything unprocessed in my books. When I did a course at Borden, I found most days I was able to eat...

If you can save money for a downpayment on a house, look to see what community you are buying into. My husband and I purchased a house near Petawawa four years ago. We paid $127K for it and put maybe $5K into it over the years. Today we can get almost $200K for it, whenever we sell it. It...

My ex-husband was making only about $55k a year as a MCpl, and he has twenty years in now. $64K? I guess there definitely has to be spec pay in there!

Alright George, I'll consider the matter closed.
