    Have you ever had anyone steal your trash?

    There's a white van that drives around the neighbourhood on garbage day looking for items to take. Kind of like lazy dumpster diving. The house has a rather long downspout that goes to the lane - it's not IN the lane, it's still on the grass, but any closer to the house and the water just runs...

    What does this mean?

    I was thinking more along the lines of obsolete and wouldn't sell for $0.50 at a garage sale....

    VOIP, Skype, Etc on Ship

    Skype is free if you call computer to computer. There's a fee for calling from your computer to a regular phone. At the end of last year they had a promo of free calling to regular phones, at the beginning of this year they offered unlimited calling to Canada/US for $15 for the year. I use...

    VOIP, Skype, Etc on Ship

    I would think that Skype should work if the connection is stable enough. VOIP, probably not. Besides you need to bring additional equipment for VOIP and that would take up precious luggage room! All you need for Skype is a headset with mic. I picked up a nice small folding one, looks just...

    Package Questions?

    The reason you're getting the wrong mix of adults/kids response is because package prices are based on 2 adults in the room, so for the child to be priced as a child on a package there needs to be a 2nd adult in the room.

    Laptop owners

    When I first got my laptop I thought there was no way I'd ever get use to the touchpad. Now I use a mouse maybe 30% of the time and the touchpad the rest of the time.

    Gratuities Question and Opinions

    I'm a travel agent and the $30-$50 figure is one that's been told me directly by different cruise line representatives over and over again throughout the years. There are some positions - typically non-tipped positions - on the ship that make much more than the $30-$50. I have no doubt that...

    Gratuities Question and Opinions

    Disney may be an American company but the cruise line is registered in the Bahamas - just like almost all the other cruise lines. They're not governed by US laws regarding pay. The "pay" on Disney ships is actually a little higher than on most of the other lines from what I'm told - last I...

    Online Travel Sites.

    I know it's annoying but I have to ask - is there a reason that you'd want to use an unknown site as opposed to booking with a travel agent that will actually provide support to you?

    Coach bag at rummage sale!

    My BIL/SIL gave me one for Christmas one year and I NEVER use it. It sits on the floor in by closet with some stuff piled on top of it. I don't like the style at all (frankly I think it's kind of ugly) and I mean okay sure it's leather but I wouldn't pay $20 for it, I hate to think of what he...

    Dude, you hit my car.....!!!! (minor rant)

    One thing I've learned from watching the People's Court is to always have a camera available for pictures at the scene. Our cell phones don't take pictures either so we keep disposable cameras in the glove compartments. Although I agree that the police probably wouldn't have come out it...

    Are dog treats safe from recall?

    Yes, the rat poison was in the wheat gluten, which was imported from China. They've ruled out the foods being tampered with at the plant because it's the rat poison has been found in foods prepared at 2 different processing plants owned by the company, meaning it had to be in one of the...

    Cat Owners need your help

    My older cat does not care for my kitten at all. He's a very sedentary cat, likes to just flop down and stay there for long periods, and the kitten wants to play all the time. They've settled into a routine now where the older one watches the younger one and then just avoids her when she gets...

    Are dog treats safe from recall?

    The problem is associated with the wheat gluten used to thicken the gravy in some of the canned/pouched foods.

    United Airlines ?

    United codeshares with Air Canada so chances are pretty good that the flight out of Canada could actually be an AC flight even though you've got a United ticket. Personally the only time I fly with AC is either if Westjet doesn't do that route or if I've got frequent flier miles to use on...

    Rat Poison found in recalled pet food

    Ferris - Certain varieties of Ol' Roy are included in the recall - in fact I just returned 4 cans of it today. As for those wondering about the differences between the cheapie brands and the more expensive ones because they're made in the same plant - just because they contain some of the...

    Omg...my friend's dad hit on me

    Does that make it right, or acceptable? Is it perfectly fine for the father of one of her friends to make sexual remarks and advances toward her and then offer her a job as enticement? And seriously when did it become acceptable to make blatant sexual remarks in casual conversation? Would...

    Omg...my friend's dad hit on me

    But it's not just a married creep hitting on a younger woman. It's a married creep hitting on a) a family friend that he's known for years and b) a friend of his daughter. Someone that has been raised to see him in a position of respect and authority. And now he's using that to try and coerce...
