Dec 7th & 8th

Feels like Christmas...in Siberia! Man, it's c-c-c-cold! What are YOU doing to keep warm?

There are two games in town this weekend that I'm aware of:

Sonic - each day you can qualify to see Lady Gaga in Toronto. Listen for the cue to call at 8:10, 12:10, 5:10 and 8:10.

Virgin - both days they will be giving away Lady Gaga tickets on their FaceBook page.

The Peak and JRFM both say they are giving away stuff EVERY day, but maybe they meant WEEK day. I guess we will see - keep your ear out for Shell gas cards on JR and Imagine Dragons tix on Peak. It's possible that they are taking the weekend off, but you never know... And if you hear, let ME know in case I miss it! The Peak tweeted that they WILL be giving away Imagine Dragon tickets all weekend, so listen at 8, 12, and 4.

Keep an eye on my Twitter feed - if I hear of anything else up for grabs I will tweet it. Make sure you scroll back in my feed to see if you missed anything (sometimes important tweets get buried when I tweet too much, ha ha).

And while you're toasting your tootsies by your cozy fire or warming your hands around your hot cup of coffee, give a thought to the poor and homeless. Grab those extra blankets that are hidden at the back of the cupboard, the wool socks that you've been saving for 6 years IN CASE you go skiing, and that winter coat that you don't really like anymore but keep around in case your sister comes to town, and take them down to the downtown eastside.

If you see someone shivering in a doorway or pushing a cart, offer them a blanket, a hot cuppa, or a sandwich. If you are too shy or scared, take your donations to Save On Meats or Union Gospel Mission and they will see that they are given to those who need them. And if it's too cold to even leave the house (imagine how THEY feel!) then go to Saveonmeats.ca and buy some tokens. They
are $2.25 each and so easy to buy! For the price of one latte you can give two sandwiches to the hungry with the click of a button. The police will hand them out for you as they walk the streets.

Thank you.
