Al and Peggy's Corner: November 2009

Looking for a belly laugh after a belly of food? Check this out!

LIVE from Las Vegas is the hilarious, it's the talented, it's the irresistible funny man Terry Fator!  He is the celebrity impressionist, singer, comedian and ventriloquist fresh from the show 'America's Got Talent'. 

Can you imagine after 26 years of trying to 'make it', he finds him self with his own show at the beautiful Mirage hotel and casino and being called one of the best entertainers in the world by Simon Cowell no less!  Talk about persistent and consistent!  Give the man a round of applause.

Perfect for a relaxing evening, this DVD will keep you laughing from beginning to end.  Be sure to watch the commentary as well, it is like the whole show all over again from a different perspective.  This show is very funny and boy is Terry Fator talented!

Undeniably talented, just watch for yourself! 

THE CURE FOR THE AFTERMATH OF THANKSGIVING DINNER?

Tummy full, bloated or expanded?  Feeling sluggish, lethargic and ready for a nap? Try this for a little fun and energizing.

Get yourself the Wii-Fit and for a distraction Celine Dion's "A New Day" live from Las Vegas DVD.  Yes, they will work together.  Now while we find the little Mii's on the Wii-fit very cute and easy to follow, after a tummy stretching meal like the one you may have just indulged in the past few days, we have to pull out the big gun exercise.  The 2400 step routine.  To watch the little Mii's step for that long is, well, somewhat of a stretch (no pun intended).

The simple solution?  Plop in an entertaining musical DVD to keep yourself amused as you step. We enjoyed Celine's both for the music and the entertainment of the show behind her!

ANSWER TO: Wordless Wednesday With A Little "Name That Photo" Added

We know this was a toughy, but if it is to easy and the first guy gets it... where's the fun.

We had some good guesses, even some pretty close ones.

So, this is what you were trying to figure out what exactly the picture was showing.

This is where the operator was stationed to operate the above picture.

Well here it is...

This bridge was able to rotate in one direction to allow cars to cross and as it showsc in the picture to allow for boat traffic to pass by.  In the 1990's the bridge and the bridge operator were both retired to make way for a new modern overpass which allowed boat traffic to pass under.

The bridges both spanned over what is know as the Atherley Narrows which connects two bodies of water Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching.

So where should you invest your money... the Housing Market or the Stock Market

Both markets go up and down, but You Can't Live In Your RRSP or IRA

Take a quick look at the stats below, this is what has and is happening in the Toronto, Ontario real estate market.  Should have bought a few of them back in 1975.  Funny thing is, if you decide to buy one today the mortgage interest rates for the most part are better today than they were in the past.

If you live or are moving to the Toronto, Ontario area, give us a call, you will find our contact information below the chart.

Here's a little picture that might get your brain turning.  It's something old, matter of fact it hasn't been used in years.  It would of caused a lot of problems if it hadn't existed when it was used. 

Look carefully, even though we don't think you will get it.

To help we will add a clue around supper time (EST), take a shot, come back later after the clue and take a second shot. 

We will reveal the big picture tomorrow, so keep that computer humming...

We know, the above picture could be just about anything... you guys are so smart we have to try to trick you a little bit.  Well this clue is probably going to give it away but that's okay, but you will have to wait until this time tomorrow for the full picture.

There used to be a guy that controlled what you see in picture number one.  He hung out in what you see in the picture below.  It used to be not a bad little place until the riff raft came.

Merry Christmas

It was a balmy 48 degrees in Orillia, Ontario today.  No snow in sight but a beautiful sunny day for the 2009 Santa Claus Parade.  Everyone was having fun waiting to Santa to come.  (Click the speaker in the top left corner of the slide show for a little Drummer Boy music.)

We would like to wish you a Very Merry Christmas and the best for 2010

But the red lights aren't just "blink". The roof sign actually says "Police"

This is the latest POLICE RADAR CARS….. In use in Georgetown & Milton Ontario areas.
