Afternoon and morning all.

Sunny and cold here. Most everything is covered in thin ice which should melt very quickly as the temperature gets over freezing tomorrow.

Sorry about the cold wind Keith, we have to send it somewhere and Mike was getting tired of it.

With all the talk about partying don't forget its just two days to Valentine's Day.

Good morning Ken ....:)

Called "The Beer Store" customer service today. They said one of my gift cards was cashed February 1st. The other card has cash. I told them the code lines don't match receipts. They sounded puzzled. The card that was cashed was cashed over an hour and half away. Gift cards and fraud were made for one another.

Now they send to head office and they start investigation over. Looks like I have a 2018 project lined up, LOL.

For those that don't understand Ontario's antiquated beer laws. We buy beer at "The Beer Store" to prevent us from becoming alcoholics. After about forty years of trying to wrestle this away from "The Beer Store" monopoly we are now able to buy in a limited number of grocery stores. You can buy twelves and sixes, no twenty fours. To much beer and you become an alcoholic.

The thing is "The Beer Store" is owned by three of the biggest brewers in the world and they are a major contributor to the political parties. That can't have anything to do with with our laws, no way.

Ken, is that like rationing or can you go back later and buy more?

Maybe I should get her some Kinder eggs. They're back on the shelves here at the market.

The manager was putting up the display & asked how they made it back to the US, they were banned as a chocking hazard. Turns out they redid the packaging, the toy is now off to the side in a separate package instead of inside the egg. Not sure if they did that all over the world or just here in the US.

As far as i can tell, the toy is still inside them here
I did have to enter my DOB to view their website, over 16's only

Enjoy your day

Yup, rationing.

This is just big money protecting their profits. Total BS.

They are still concerned that the groceries might sell to minors. The minors go the beer store where they know everyone is buying beer and ask you to buy them beer. Doing it at the grocery store is hit and miss. Oh and the grocery stores can tell who is a minor for smokes but with beer in their hands they look so much more mature.

Thanks for info Ken

Whats the age for Alcohol/Smoking in Canada

18 for both of them here (though smoking used to be age 16)
