    It is good for the economy too. Lots of people running out to buy new computers. Or at least running out to their local computer shop to get things fixed.

    Therefore, why don't you just ignore articles about it, just as other people ignore articles that they are not interested in?

    Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

    I am 43. I don't even consider dating woman in their 30's. I guess I am the exception to the rule. :)

    Real human touch can be rented as needed.
    So I have been told.

    I for one enjoy dating, but the thought of having someone else living in my house makes me nervous. I enjoy coming home to my empty house, and if I feel like having ice cream for dinner, then so be it. (For the record I am 43 years old.)

    - That crowbar-like tool for breaking into cars

    This is commonly called a Slim Jim, and owning one is not illegal. (At least not where I live.)
    When I was young I worked for an auto detailer, and one of the suppliers I dealt with had entire kits in his truck. I found my hand made stuff was better.

    I can't think of any "canadian food" that is not fast food or junk food.
