    Thanks for the Birthday wishes. I've spent my day with my furbaby and fur-grandbaby. Trying to get my fur-baby tired enough that he will sleep through the night again. That's a whole other volume of drama. Currently searching up Alaska cruises for early September. I know nothing about cruising...

    How far out to book flight from Toronto?

    @yowcruiser do you have any good tips on YOW-MCO mid November this year. I just decided to do another trip this year (well if I get the go ahead from the two we are taking with us). Right now I'm thinking Porter both ways as I dislike having to do connections in Toronto. I wouldn't be adverse to...

    How far out to book flight from Toronto?

    If you want to get the lowest prices you will be waiting until Black Friday. Given that there are 4 of you travelling and you likely want a mid day arrival book as soon a you see a price you are comfortable with. Flying direct from Ottawa to MCO a week ago I paid around $400 each on a Black...

    Do you get a letter from CRA informing you that you need to start paying quarterly installments. I haven't needed to up until now but my taxes went up over the threshold in 2023. Most of that was due to the minimum tax (which won't apply to me in 2024 as I will be below it's threshold). The...

    I looked at it and then thought I need to fill out paperwork to get access. I probably wasn't going to appreciate anything that was being said so I decided to stick with the regular boards.

    I had such high hopes today for a receipts offer. Mine went through without incident. DS is still looking into it. DH I had to submit an inquiry. All different stores, all different amounts and different items. Oh well, it is what it is.

    The renovation, while not ideal will look lovely when it's done. You won't even miss the 3 inches and it will look like the lines weren't ever there. Just think of all the good you're doing for the environment with the heat pump. So glad your pharmacist is on top of things. Positive thoughts...

    #1 the quilt looks great on the sofa #2 I hope your find relief soon for your foot. Nothing worse than being in pain and not able to take something to alleviate it. #3 I agree with hdrolfe. That is the worst install job. They would have been better off ripping into the wall and ceiling space...

    I purchased my Jethro US phone plan card on Amazon and set everything up in advance of my trip. Or if you prefer you can go directly to the Jethro website and purchase directly from them. Jethro has also just introduced the e-Sim option on their website. You need to turn off your phone and...

    Mel, if you're not going away until February or later but not March break, wait until Black Friday. If it's just you going (and you don't need 4 seats) you should be able to get a seat then and the prices will be much improved.

    Canadian cell phones

    If your phone can't do an e-Sim, try Jethro mobile. It's the new replacement for Roam Mobility that closed up shop in 2020. I just returned from a week in Orlando. I used their Unlimited Talk, Text and 10G Data plan. I used my phone a lot to check wait times and redo my plans etc and only used...

    I leave the country for a few days and my Airmiles world blows up! I'm shocked and sad. I'll have to pick up some Metro GC using my cash AM while I can. The Costco thing looks promising but I don't shop there alot anymore. My time with Airmiles could be coming to an end. The weather here in...
