I’m not a big Cfl fan but generally watched the Argonauts keeping in line with my Toronto sports theme. I moved to Hamilton this year so going to be starting a new trend of maybe attending some Ticats games and follow them. Some of my friends here live real close to tim hortons field where the ticats play.

@siand wow… I just finished watching the video on that page and wow… it was so spot on to what I needed to hear and it resonated so deeply within me it’s hard to put into words. I really made a mistake with the way I approached things in my relationship and I thought I was so right and justified. Turns out what I did was to allow myself to believe what my thoughts were telling me that turned into words and the action of lashing out. I feel very humbled by what this video taught me and I am really ashamed for acting from a place of fear rather than a place of love. Thank you again for sharing this, it moved me profoundly and deeply. Wow…

I was at work so nu too much Marc. Since my quit started at midnight I knew what time it’d be on :sunglasses:
