TransLink tackling odd complaints | News1130

Quote:

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – What does “Not in Service” mean to you? The answer may not be as obvious as you think as TransLink tries to get to the bottom of that phrase for its services.

“We’ve received some complaints from people who had been passed-by while waiting at a bus stop. The bus said ‘Not in Service’ but maybe that didn’t register with them,” says Drew Snider with the transit authority.
Not sure if this has been posted already...

Scared to look

:tears:

Was reminiscing about them a while ago with a friend I reconnected with on FB... skipping school, taking the bus for the first time, spending all day playing Street Fighter II

:tears:

Or going to the mall with my mom, she would give us each a $5 bill and we would kill an hour or two playing Bad Dudes or Operation: Wolf... only arcade game I ever beat was Double Dragon II

:tears:

BTW: The Verge is such a beautiful website to read.. that layout... wow

I asked my family's pundit the same thing.


He said to be free like the wilderness is what the body desires. Let your balls hang freely like pendulums swaying carelessly in the breeze and your zen shall be centered, my child.

A truck parked in my company's lot and the guy walked to the skytrain. We don't usually tow people the first time they park there, so I printed this off and put it on his windshield.

Well in her defense, she originally taught teenagers. Meanwhile, she claims that she has a fear of young children (and the school made her teach young children).

not sure whether to post on 'where to buy' thread, but for metro gift cards, can you use it at a store, say superstore or shoppers, to buy a best buy/futureshop gc?

You can't buy any giftcards with another giftcard from any store.

Metrotown shop card is actually processed as a mastercard...so yes you can buy another store's GC with it.

WTFZORS...such an odd story

Notre Dame says story about Te

"According to media accounts that surrounded Te’o, an All-American and Heisman Trophy finalists, throughout the season, Lennay Kekua, died of leukemia in September.

But on Wednesday the website Deadspin.com posted a lengthy story Wednesday saying there was no evidence that Kekua ever existed.

Notre Dame officials then confirmed the hoax but were insistent that Te’o was only the victim."

If you don't mind losing 6% (i think), see if you can buy a prepaid CC with it. Then use it anywhere.

O America, you so funny sometimes

Gun Appreciation Day” chairman Larry Ward said that if blacks had been armed, there never would have been slavery in America.

Ward’s group planned the appreciation day for the weekend of President Obama‘s second inauguration, and some critics have attacked the celebration for its proximity to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

“I think Martin Luther King, Jr. would agree with me if he were alive today that if African Americans had been given the right to keep and bear arms from day one of the country’s founding, perhaps slavery might not have been a chapter in our history,”

Larry Ward- "MLK Jr. would agree with me today, we need guns"
Jon Stewart- "Yea how did he die again?"

Question:
When I put Hagen's of Blaine into my SHIPPING address in Amazon, do I select commercial or residential address?

Thanks!
