Agree with all those regarding a large walk-in shower. With a seat - so you can shave your legs in comfort. We bought our current house because of it's beautiful walk-in shower with seat. I love it! However, please take into account a few things. The main thing: do you have another bathtub in the ho...

I am so sorry for your loss.

I have a Kenmore high efficiency top loader. I love it. I can load so much stuff into it that it actually cut the amount of laundry I do every week. It can also be really gentle - I wash all my hand washables in it without fear. It does a decent job of cleaning my clothes - I don't rewash any more o...

Donald Trump was being taken too seriously until: http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-puni ... -1.3513333

Perhaps not now.

Unfortunately, his competitors are worse than he is.

Tabby

He made a fairly raunchy statement about his wife once: http://news.nationalpost.com/toronto/rob-ford-launches-legal-action-over-prostitution-and-crack-claims-in-profane-media-scrum There was a domestic assault call from his house around the same time they were setting up the sting for his drug deal...

Canada must be very similar to NZ as we hardly use cash or checks any more as well. The only thing I write checks for is my horse board and the only thing I use cash for is to chip in for a gift at work when someone retires or has a death in the family. DH uses a bit more cash than me and occasional...

Don't discredit yourself Chisamba. Ford probably dropped completely off the American media radar shortly after his last crack scandal (the one where he admitted to smoking crack but only because he was in a drunken stupor). The rest of city council tried very hard to have him removed from office. Th...

Tabby

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/rob-ford-1.3489457 Many of you Americans may remember him as he was quite a notorious character providing late night comedians with an endless source of material. Though I was never a fan of him or his politics, he was unquestionably committed to the city of Tor...

If it's been going on for months, then the transaction occurred sometime in the past. Do you still have your old statements? If not you should be able to check online. If your income and spending habits are quasi-regular, you should be able to scan through and find it without too much trouble.

Tabby

Thanks for all the info. It still seems rather complicated but I guess that's part of the entertainment. And I'm not so sure I'm all that safe WMW - I'm only an hour from the border driving. As the crow flies... well that's harder to say. If you think it is getting rough then come on up for a visit ...

Tabby

Popcorn and beer may be appropriate but I wonder if they'd be best consumed from inside a bomb shelter.

Tabby

I can't expect it to end well if a delegate went against voters wishes. Lynch mob, perhaps?

Tabby

Thanks again! This plot just keeps on getting thicker and thicker, doesn't it?

Tabby

I have another question - when a candidate drops out, what happens to the delegates that he/she has already won? Do they become free agents or is there some protocol as to who they are supposed to vote for?

Tabby

Thanks again, WMW. There's an interesting article in our CBC today by their American correspondent on this. He is suggesting that it is possible for the delegates to vote against Trump even though the voters have essentially given them the mandate to vote for him. A lot of the article contains a bun...

Tabby

Thanks WMW. I also wonder if the US would embrace or reject a middle-of-the-road candidate, or if it were even possible to have one given the way the party nominees are selected. I wonder if this whole Trump thing will set some major changes in motion. Or does the establishment have enough power to ...

Tabby

As these things unfold, it's got me thinking on what it all could mean for the future of the US. These are somewhat random thoughts and I admit I don't know enough about the system and could be way off base. 1. The republican party seems to be fractured. Every step closer that Trump makes it to the ...

Most of the cruise lines charge gratuities to your bill. It's some amount per person per day. While they don't tell you this, you can simply say you aren't paying them and tip directly to staff (or not at all). The problem I have with this is that the ship staff work very hard, often 2 or 3 jobs on ...

Tabby

I LOVE cruises and I've been on 7 now! I can't understand all of these negative posts about them. They are truly the best way to vacation. You don't have to cook or clean. You eat fabulous food. And you get to see a bunch of new places in the world without having to schlep around all your stuff! As ...

Tabby

Thanks Suzon! Is that stuff safe to use with cats in the house?

Tabby

I don't have any cucumber (or talc powder) in the house right now but maybe I'll stop on my way home to get some.

Where do you think the colony might be?

Tabby

Do you just slice a bit of peel of the cucumber and lay it around? How much do I need? Doesn't it get moldy?? I'll do anything!

Tabby

There's been ants in this house since I moved in. Up until lately, they've invaded the kitchen during the summer months. I put ant traps by the garbage and under the fridge etc. and it more or less keeps them under control. But this winter I've had ants upstairs. All winter. It started in my ensuiet...

Tabby

((((HUGS))))

What do you need? Where can I send it? Do you need a place to stay - I know I'm not much help all the way up here but maybe I know somebody. You've got friends here.

Tabby

It doesn't surprise me. Trump is a popular topic in Canada.

Tabby

I don't think this is really political in the traditional sense but since it's about a politician I figured I better put it here. From CBC today: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/halifax-brewery-african-heritage-1.3451806 A craft brewery in Halifax's north end is offering a honey porter ins...

Tabby

And my only comment at this point is as long as the disenchanted continue to vote for the parties they are disenchanted with... things, IMO, will not get better. There is so much truth to this comment it is actually depressing. I actually believe that the powers that be in both parties know this an...

Tabby

Yet he has done a lot more than what any of our parties could do under conditions of a minority government. That being said, majority governments in Canada (and other countries with similar systems) can do just about anything they want unimpeded - as was seen with our previous government. The only t...

Tabby

I still think that the US model is a little more democratic than ours, we elect the party I used to think the same thing but now I'm not so sure. There's something to be said about electing a party with a platform and leader as opposed to an all-powerful single person. We can get a new leader witho...

Tabby

Is there a reason that I am familiar with his name as a Canadian? What did he do that I would recognize it?

Tabby

Suicide has become socially acceptable? How do you figure?

Tabby

Aside from the fact that they are cracking down and blocking us, I've been considering switching back to Canadian anyway. My Apple TV brings up ABC, CBS, FOX and a bunch of other networks - most of which I can't get with a subscription anyway. I was away when the new X-Files started and set my PVR b...

Tabby

Thanks WheresMyWhite. I don't know how much that helped - it looks like they just make up the rules as they go along

!

Tabby

But there must have been some reason to set them up this way. How did they evolve into the spectacles that they are? I'm probably going to wish I didn't ask that question.

Tabby

I don't really understand them at all but they provide great entertainment. What's the true feeling south of 49?

Tabby

Never mind - I found something that could be shipped to Canada. If anybody is available to do this in future, please PM me. Thanks!

Tabby

I was looking online for something to buy my husband for our first anniversary this month. I found something I like but they only deliver to the US. Is there anyone that lives close to the border on the US side around Buffalo or Niagara that I could use as an address? I'd be willing to drive down an...

Tabby

I'm so sorry to read this news. Condolences to her family.

Tabby

Oh I hope you didn't think I was even remotely offended, Canyon!! I find the phrase rather funny and I'm now awaiting the perfect moment to use it on somebody. I am honoured to have it used on me first (note Canadian aka moose munching spelling there!)!

Tabby

It is a rather interesting situation. It's left the news - at least around here - for now but it is probably worth keeping a watch for.

Tabby

Why thank you very much Canyon! I'm taking this as a complement, by the way, in case anyone wants to call me names. I've never been called anything quite so original and I never even bought a powerball ticket!

Tabby

Very sad indeed. He played Snape perfectly.

Tabby

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/stephen-colbert-warns-moose-munching-iceholes-against-buying-powerball-tickets-1.3401986 For some reason I think I'm supposed to be offended. In reality, I plan to use this when they ask my citizenship the next time I cross the border. Which is in 10 days BTW. I can't w...

Tabby

Very sad indeed.

Cars are subject to all that and nobody is confiscating them.

Tabby

There's no comparison between abortion and guns. I'm not sure where you got that from except perhaps the hope of shock value. I can absolutely see republicans howling over this and the only thing preventing your scenario from happening is that they haven't put forward an electable candidate. One cou...

Tabby

Or at least a Canadian company. TransCanada to be specific. That's the company that was pandering the Keystone pipeline project. The one our former Prime Minister couldn't resist drooling over in public despite showing no other emotion whatsoever. In any event, they are having a corporate tantrum ov...

Tabby

Does that mean you think it's just lip service? I'm honestly not sure.

Tabby

There was a horrible tragedy in our area last night: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/puslinch-barn-fire-horses-1.3389620. Over 40 horses were killed in this fire. The fire crew had trouble dousing the flames because the water was frozen (it was -20 last night). My heart goes out to ...

Tabby

This place has been quiet of late but I thought for sure this would stir things up. So what do you all think? Is it enough? Too much? A good start? Or just cheap talk?
