Alberta has no provincial sales tax, since they make enough money from their oil and the province generally manages their money well. It was sad to come back to 8% provincial sales tax in Ontario.

That's not always true, I bought my car on May 30 or 31 in 2006 and the first salesman I tried to buy it from wasn't willing to negotiate at all. I then went to another dealership and bought the same car for exactly what I wanted to pay. My advice is don't be afraid to walk out and go to a...

Mazda 2 or Mazda 3? ZOOM ZOOM!

She wasn't necessarily on the ATT network though. Her iPhone is from an overseas carrier so she could have ended up connecting to TMobile or something instead when she turned on her phone and connected as a "roamer". ATT's problem sounds like lack of network capacity for the demand they created...

If it's within arms reach of the hole can you just pick it up and drop it in or do you need to throw it still?

In addition to my camera I would just bring my ipod. If I thought I might run out of space on my SD card I'd bring a few extras. Cellphone service can cost an arm an a leg abroad, be it voice, text or data. I don't need my cellphone that badly. I've also never taken my laptop on vacation...

Congrats Dave! Glad you've found something that looks like it will be a less stressful than your current job :)

Both unfortunate events for your friends. However, just because of your friends the one who lost his mother had a harder time (I assume that's the case, based on your statement) it doesn't make that a general rule. Losing either parent is a tragedy and it's presumptuous to think you can even...

I never had a very abusive alcoholic father, so I would never be so bold as to assume I know what that feels like. Even if someone had recounted their experiences to me, I wouldn't have felt it myself. Therefore, I am not qualified to speak on the matter.

It's my way of saying that if both your parents were alive well into your adulthood you have no way of knowing what it's like to lose a parent as a child. Therefore, you have no right to make statements that losing a mother is worse than a father, or vice versa. It has nothing to do with having...

That's fucking bullshit. If I remember correctly you had both parents well into adulthood. Don't talk about shit you don't know anything about.

Maybe she is willing and able to jump between them. You have no idea. If she's able and willing to perform the requirements of the job there is no reason she shouldn't have that job. You have no way of knowing if she's able and willing, so you have no place to judge.

Poor puppy :(

Oooooh! I am going to my aunt's in the country on Sat! Definitely sticking around until it gets dark to check this out!

Older houses, before gypsum board was invented or became common place, sometimes have lathe and plaster walls (metal mesh and plaster, which is cementitous and similar to stucco). In fact most, if not all, of the walls in the upstairs of my house are lathe and plaster. I do not have a problem...

Serving over seas for months at a time is not exactly the same as going to work for 8 to 12 hours then going home. I don't think anyone who hasn't been in that situation can judge as to what is or isn't appropriate conversation at various times (such as during their off hours). These guys are...

You've never heard of disc golf?! Frisbee golf?! It's like golf, but with frisbees/discs instead of clubs and balls, and baskets on a stick instead of holes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_golf

I currently see 3 wireless networks, my computer is set to automatically connect to my own. When at my moms I see up to 5 at times. If you can't see your own network I would think something is wrong with your wireless router. If I can pick up signals from other HOUSES that are over 30' away, it...

Today's is the best Google logo EVER! It's a Pacman game you can actually PLAY!

1 - That's obviously based on an OLD school iphone, one that couldn't record video. 2 - Some people like different things. The person who wrote that obviously does not enjoy any Apple products. That's fine, something else works for him more. I find Apple products to be easy to use and...
