Don't forget Thirty Bench in Beamsville. I've had some excellent wines from there, especially the premium reds. I've got a bunch resting in the cellar also. There's not much of a tour, in fact I don't even recall one, but you can walk amongst the vines freely. On a clear day, you can see Toronto...

Reminds me of another old joke . . . President Bill Clinton called Chretien with an emergency: Our largest condom factory has exploded!" the American President cried, "My people's favourite form of birth control! This is a true disaster!" "Bill, da Canadian pipple would be 'appy to do...

And therein lies the reason to debunk your implied bias against Muslims in a certain age group because of the acts of relatively few. IIRC, Islam is the largest religion (number of adherents) in the world. Therefore, a larger pool for the sociopaths to emerge from.

Seems like a terribly expensive ride just to take a shit. :eek:

Let's not forget the Catholic IRA, the Basque separatists, the Bader-Meinhof Gang, the Italian Red Brigade, the Puritans of early US history or the Spanish Catholics of the Inquisition. Add to that state-sponsored mass murderers such as the Catholic (do I see a thread here?) Augusto Pinochet...

Another reason to move to Canada. Not in the states or else I'm owed one helluva rebate.

When I die.

Actually, there was a study about this a while ago (yes, someone anal enough to study this) and the outcome was that it didn't make a difference.

Why get all hyper over oil changes? My last car (3.3 V6) made it to 320,000 km and lasted 10 years. At the last oil change, which I did myself with Mobil 1 since I bought it, the rocker arms were still clean and there was no sludge build up under the valve covers nor in the oil pan. Mileage...

Whoa, Syn, I had to stand up by the time I got done reading that list! Ouch!!!!

I think I ought to take up golf.

Challenger, good point about exchange rate. Forgot to mention that. Just one problem, at least for me. Most CCs I have charge a much higher interest rate from day 1 on cash advances plus a steep fee. That's fine if you pay it off each month but if you carry a balance, it could negate any...

TFG5, excellent post. no, I didn't think you were too long. Appreciate the info about the hotel, I was thinking about this place for an upcoming trip but no more. I'll save up my shekels and stay at the usuals: Holiday Inn, Courtyard, Crown Plaza and Marriott. Never had a hassle there. Groucho...

Another trick I've tried ... if the unit(s) you want aren't on sale is to go up to the salesperson and ask if they're going on sale soon. This sometimes gets them to discount it on the spot. Most larger retail stores give the salespeople some leeway to offer discount. If not them, then the...

Wow, Terrie. I admire your honesty and desire to make it right. Hopefully you can work it out. I don't get to your area but if I ever do, I will look you up.

Big enuff to keep me happy!

Damn! just when I was getting ready to order a years supply. Do ya think they woulda worked?

Why am I always in the wrong place at the wrong time!?!

Like you can make up your mind? I find one who I think is absolutely gorgeous and then someone else comes by. Snap! There goes my neck again.

I dunno. I hope we have a little longer. My Bordeaux won't be matured enough by then. LOL.
