He was basically trying to find out I- guess who put the skid there right. "Well this is unacceptable." I said, "I realize that it 's unacceptable and I- that 's why I wouldn 't have done it." You-know, but I was only at that place for about two-and-a-half to three months. ... I got my forklift license there, my (inc) license, you-know, my transportation-of-dangerous-business and stuff. So it was good for that anyways. Not that I need them now but- ... Actually the final straw I can remember. There's a lot of chemicals and stuff at that place. You- know like sandbags? Kind-of army guys pile those. It's like that, but there's chemicals in them? So they pile them on skids. They're like little plastic beads ... they always said if you hear the alarms, jump off your truck and just run at an exit as soon as you can because the whole place could just completely blow up, right? So taking stuff out of racks on my fork-truck ... you had to be very careful 'cause if you clip the metal corner of the racking when you 're pulling a skid out, it would rip that bag open and the little plastic pellets would all start pouring out of the bags.

Well, my brother Johnny was younger, like- so he sat up on- on the seat with Tom, and Tom was driving the pony, and we put the uh goat in the back of the- the wagon, you-know, and of course, who was to hold the goat, only me. ... I got a- a hammer-lock on the goat. I got him like that, holding on to him like that, and of course he's skidding all the way to the back of the- of the wagon, you-know? He's wanting to get free, you-know, and I'm hanging on to him ...

Interviewer: Winter-time roads were slippery. Speaker: ... He 'd be drinking all night the r-- Kennedy-Road two lanes was snow covered. And I guess he started skidding and he was like this, this, this and in the ditch. Almost tipped over.

So we were going up to get a conga-drum and um she had pulled out of her drive-way and she was taking her boyf-- her boyfriend to work and she skidded and lost control of her car and hit us um broadside. I only remember the a- the flash of orange.

You know the way Kylie is. She 's very um, apprehensive. She 's very um, skittish um and that was just because of how she was raised and I think in the next- in the next few years...

Hi good girl. So yeah that 's how I met (inc). She 's a (inc). She got skittish because she heard something and then she heard (inc). Yeah! Guess what Gillian bought?

I just walked away. Finally, I was just like, "Listen bitch," right? "Like, I used to tell you when the bell would ring and you would get mad at me and be all snarky and tell me about how you could hear the damn bell yourself and I didn 't- you didn 't need my help

...we weren 't far off of them ourselves but he th-- he just felt that he didn 't like that so he wrote them quite a snarky letter about firing me for such a petty thing and all that.

Me and Adriana, and they're like, "You coming to the Girls-Night-Out?" Or, "You coming to where the women are?" and Adrianna goes snarky, "I've found where the women are. See ya." I'm like, "Whoa." And she's like, "You didn't want to go to that sweetie, did you?" I'm like, "I found a woman, I'm okay.

See. All these great lives that would have been snuffed out if they had followed that way, yeah?

She's now going to some place in Nova-Scotia which is good 'cause I don't like her and the farther the better.

... um I-guess it 's similar to any sort-of mall that you 'll- that 's not downtown so something like Square-One in Mississauga it- you tend to see the same kind-of there 's usually some place to eat um around that area um they usually have a movie-theatre and you-know like some kind-of banking

Interviewer: Primarily subway? Speaker: Yeah, or walking. For a- while it was rollerblades that I took everywhere but they 're kind-of bulky when you get some-place and you-know if you 've- you 're going somewhere you got to hang around for the day and you 're not at someone 's house, the (inc) on rollerblades are keeping on your own bike is kind-of a pain.

It used to be downtown always, um just it 's a different feel downtown, a little bit more exciting, different people, stuff like that but now we get lazier, so maybe just Brydon's or Sharky's ... just in the area, maybe even a little bit more west ... some place in Etobicoke, but even Etobicoke feels, I don't like Etobicoke, it 's exactly the same as here but I don't like it.

And um, as you got older, ah, he would employ you down there, opening lockers. The girls had lockers when they came to swim and had to put their clothes some place. So you could be the locker girl and from the locker girl, you went to being um, selling the, the refreshments behind the counter like the candies and ice cream. So I worked my way up into there.

So ah, we went ah, they went different places for lunch, and I remember one Sunday they were going someplace and I was in church and of course the children we all sat in the front row. And there was a, a person who sat with us called ah Miss-May and she was always dressed in black and she was the queerest woman you ever wanted to see.

And everybody knew Miss-May and she would keep track of us you-see, and so ah, Allison's family, mother they 'd go out for some ride someplace and they 'd be gone for the day.

... we had our breakfast at the Western and then walked over, and walked home again. I never thought anything of it, now I wouldn 't do it. But I, it was rather amusing, I was out someplace one day and ah, somebody came up behind me and, I don 't know where I was, I was looking at something and this, this voice said, "How are your legs?"

You-know I've lived here all my life, and I have been away, so I've been able to see the differences but it's s-- some place in my- I don't know what you call, in my being or whatever, this isn't- even though I was born here it doesn't necessarily say to me that this is the place I should be.

... but it was- it was a place on your way to some place else. Either you were falling back or you 're going ahead. ... there's no lovely parks, there's nothing physically beautiful about it at all, so it's a- a sort-of a transitional area and then you can move on to some place else. If you 're Italian, you go to Woodbridge, if you're Portuguese, you may go to another suburb or (inc). If you're Jewish you 'd move to ah Thornhill.
