It had to do with my work email's connection to the server. Took me forever to figure out, with minimal help from Telus, Blackberry, or work IT. But yeah, I altered how my phone was connecting to the email server (used POP instead of IMAC) and it now works fine.

Next time we're out I'll let you play with it and send some texts and see what you think if you're considering it.

Sounds good.

My best friend in town broke up with his girlfriend (my other best friend in town) and moved in with me yesterday. Our drink for the night was moonshine.

I imagine you're not looking for something that's 80% though?

We also had Guinness Black Lager (first time trying it; decent burnt flavour but I prefer the regular stout version) and Hoegaarden. Also, I can't remember if you said you tried it or if you found it, but Big Rock Trad is a nice-drinking beer.

Good Lord, people! I was gone for a day and now I have spent the last 45 minutes catching up hahaha! Great to have both new members aboard

And I'll just say I agree with 90% of everything that was discussed on this forum in the past 24 hours to save me the effort of responding to everything

Thanks. I didn't recall seeing it the last time I was there but considering how great Granville Island has treated me lately I'll put this on the list.

Also the shine may be a bit much considering I'll be drinking alone. Although my first time in Charlottetown a few years ago some of the UPEI students brought bottles of moonshine to our banquet (which was in a SUPER nice resort). After dark we all huddled up outside the chalet in our suits and cocktail dresses passing around the bottle

Having to drive to Halifax the next morning was the worst experience of my life.

Couldn't find any Big Rock, or anything that really caught my attention so I just got a case of Keiths Red.

Related note: the Uni. Avenue liquor store has to change up its staff. I didn't get ID'd because she remembers me as "that young guy from Newfoundland". I'm embarrassed.

SignalHillHiker · #**450** Posted **Mar 2, 2013, 7:24 PM**

Wait until you see the log book she's keeping of how much you drink.

Hope the situation with your friends works our positively, Ayer.

I forgot that we got asked for ID yesterday! So weird for me at the Sobey's liquor store. My friend's mom was so happy that I was able to let him move in that she said she'd buy my beer for the night (via him). So I was about to pay when he's like "no, don't pay! Remember my mom said she was buying our beer tonight." And the girl was like "uhh, if you're talking about your mom buying you beer I might need to see some ID."

I haven't shaved in a while, so I'm sure I don't look younger than I am (when I shave people guess anywhere from 18 to 22 or so, if I don't shave I often get 23-27). My friend was unshaven and is 6'5, which would be pretty impressive for an 18-year-old.

I guess seeing how this is the off topic thread, it would be the best place for me to tell you all about a strange dream I had last night involving St. John's..

They were taking Atlantic Place apart and they were going to build tall skinny modern towers with huge, grand heritage facades on the front.. the only bad part was I woke up thinking it was true and I was excited.. facepalm xD

If only!

(I have alot of strange dreams just so you all know haha)
