Phew that's a relief. Urm, which strike?

Strike apparently averted.

"Look FRed(tm) MarilynLou is on strike and she's in Canada. Go tell Liz el'McQueen quickly. We can't have that can we Boy."

Comment by MarilynLou Fraser on Thursday

Is everyone in Ontario going to rush out and buy a lot of booze before the strike?

Comment by MarilynLou Fraser on Thursday

Got the name from the Service Ontario file on the business here in Hamilton. If I want the file, I have to get it from Toronto.

One step at a time.

Strangely, I still can't find the name of the proprietor of Pro Photo.

There is 3 websites with no name. My granddaughter who is taking a course in business law gave me information for the provincial office that registers business.

They replied they could mail the file to me for $12 or I can go to Toronto and pick it up.

Last Saturday I walked down four flights, carefully. I was expecting a friend to arrive from Mississauga. When I came home, I sat and waited for an hour in the lobby along with the others, hoping we could get home again.

Last Saturday this 23-floor senior's building had no elevator service for most of the day. One of the two elevators has been down for two weeks now. The No. 1 elevator is very iffy. You 'hope' it is working when you want to go out. Last Saturday it wasn't working and the repair staff at the elevator repair company was on strike!! They were told this was an emergency for a seniors building. They arranged for some management to come and get No. 1 running... maybe. Because the No. 2 is not working, by the time the elevator gets to my floor I can't get on with my walker because it is packed to the doors. I once waited 3/4 hour to get on the No. 1 elevator. Got an appointment? Better allowed time to get down to go out.
