so you are going to drink a nice warm glass of wine on a 30Plus day?

Why not? Great time for a pinot grigio with some cheese and cold meat.

Okay you are qualified...but you can still act young. I'm 35 and love wine but beer and dry cider got me like...

I will call this a Don moment where I say Son .

Not every 61 year old is a Grampa. I have no regrets in life. I don't fear death, and would never change one month of my life.

I wish everyone could have seen and done what I did.

This is insane. I'm getting called for work after rest almost every day, including my days off. As soon as my rest is up, the phone rings. If I wanted to I could put in 10 shifts in a week.......easily.

And how old are you? Don't get me wrong, I love my wine. However, a nice cold beer is the perfect beverage on a hot ass day.

I love my wine, especially when my mother in-law is over and I'm brown nosing.

I'm just turning 40 and I have a ton of regrets. So many things I wish I did differently, in the end, I just accept that poop happens, life sucks and it's best to say (frank) it and forget about it all.

I have turned into a Pinot Noir fan as of late . More costly but so smooth.
- VANTEL


A good Pinot is amazing, but they can be hard to find if you're going in blind. I think I'm disappointed by Pinot Noir more than any other varietal. It's not necessarily a price thing, there's some good bottles for reasonable, it's more like a needle in the haystack kind of thing. If you've found one you like, keep returning to that well.

I'm early forties, I drink beer, wine, scotch. I've been drinking wine since I was 12, at dinner on special occasions back then. I'd probably drink more wine but my taste exceeds my income, although I do make decent money. I was fortunate enough to have a bachelor uncle that collected wine, as did my father.

My uncle donated a case to a charity auction once and it went for $15K......he was quite surprised.

I fu%*en feel like Maury right now. My best friend (who is 34) is contemplating buying a winnebago to live in. He is trying to escape the high rent of the Vancouver market. I'm not sure what to tell him. He is texting me as we speak.

The voice of reason. I have found a nice Pinot that you can taste the grapes on the first sip of every sip. I am happy and it's only 16.00

I can't turn it off, or it's statement time.

I can book more rest, or take leave days. I don't have to answer on my days off. Oddly, the highest paying and easiest jobs seem to be offered on your days off.

WTF is he renting for?

My biggest regret financially in life is not buying at Pacific & Davie nearly 20 years ago when they were building and I could have bought for much less than $200K.

I was just offered OT at the end of the month so Shaw can clear year end accounts by the first. I told my boss not a chance , seeing I have friends sitting at home now because of no work.

I know you have a young family , but I am now at a place where I can say thanks but no thanks

When guys are laid off I don't take extra work. Right now they're short, so I go balls to the wall. I'll take a few days together here or there, and still have a few weeks vacation left. It's pretty hard sometimes to say no when they offer you $1300 to ride a train for 7 hours, sleep on the road for 8, then ride a train for another 7.

How many blips has the Vancouver market seen in 20 years? My buddy listed his house last month and it sold in an hour. Why is he renting if he makes that much money?
