Ahhh...Arnie....well thought out. The old taxes defense. And even better the smoker's rights argument. One. My country taxes the crap out of everything so no my paycheck isn't dependant on your vice. Those taxes oddly enough go to things like universal health care...which smokers will more often tha...

I don't think my point is flawed. As a smoker's health issues come from my pocket too. And I wasn't the cause. But you could potentially go round and round on that one too. (ie) a fat guy eats to many greasy hamburgers and has a massive heartattack. We're all paying for that too. It's the price of a...

Word of advice. Don't eat at the DQ at the airport. Got food poisoning. It was one hell of a flight all the way back to Canada!

Cheers. Which one do you work at? Do you know of any that would be looking? You can pm that stuff if you want to keep it private. Or if it's too personal don't feel obligated.

Thanks!

Yeah. I figure if your cousin has the inside info on you being on the black list then he should probably know how, if possible, to get you off it. Just a thought!

Not sure if you can get it over there but...Cold FX is apparently amazing. I've never used it personally but just about everyone I know takes it everytime they get a runny nose and no cold.

It was playing football (soccer) at least until I had both my shins fractured in a nasty tackle.

Now I have 2 young kiddies so no time for a hobby.

Typically anything below 0 and it snows. But not always. We've had slushy snow at 1-3...sometimes when you look at www.weathernetwork.com it'll show 5 and snow. But that's usually when we get a freakish warm day after days and days of -10.

Well Craig...he's not here in the first place. And believe it or not, a woman can, and in this case does earn more money than her husband. So her career is one reason why she doesn't want to leave. As I said, she is a home body. We live in the same neighbourhood she's always lived in her entire life...

I'm very glad to hear that those stories are over exagerated. And to touch on the Indian vs. the Italian...my wife tells me horror stories of when she travelled through Italy during her college days.

20 years ago! She would have been 10 years old. My wife is 30 and I'm 33. But that's not your point. I wouldn't say she was offended but rather...I guess weirded out by the overt Itallian attention. Just not used to that kind of attention around these parts. And your point about the Itallians whistl...
