Instead of a dollar a beer, how about dollar a day insulin supplies, dollar an hour day care, dollar an hour tuition, dollar a book, dollar a public transit ride. Try arguing against any of those while arguing for #BuckABeer @fordnation

[jump (for my love) @JodiesJumpsuit]

This is a great thread on how simply buck a beer is bad for Ontario breweries and bad business sense.

@monygemini @binge_mode That's my understanding, yes. Need to go back and reference from the book, but don't have it with me, so I'm happy to be corrected by someone else on this point. 😉

@monygemini @binge_mode I think he wanted to split his soul into seven pieces, thus requiring six Horcruxes.

There are 4 types of wealth:

1. Financial wealth (money)
2. Social wealth (status)
3. Time wealth (freedom)
4. Physical wealth (health)

Be wary of jobs that lure you in with 1 and 2, but rob you of 3 and 4.

@marepants People rarely mistake me for an extravert, but I also relate to this message. 😉
(And I personally like the term "outgoing introvert" - helps break the introvert/shyness stereotype!)

@cassie__nichol UW has done it at least a few years (but I believe in the SLC?) Not sure if they still do it but connecting with the Writing Centre and/or Library would be good places to start the search.

[Laura Maple @laura_maple]

@courtney5gray BAHAHA! That would definitely take commitment (both to your profession AND the mode of transportation) 😜

[Laura Maple @laura_maple]

@courtney5gray To this day I wish they were a socially acceptable (and albeit practical) mode of transportation.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

We may say prayers when we are trying to solve the problems we face, but it is up to us to put an end to violence and bring about peace. Creating peace is our responsibility. To pray for peace while still engaging in the causes that give rise to violence is contradictory.

Well, onward, I suppose. #MondayMotivation
