I wash my floor on my hands and knees!! Not much tile and wood in our condo, but have some!! Did the same back in my house in Victoria!! Cleaning with a rag/towel is far superior than a mop!! Mop is full of germs and ur respreading them around!! I picked up this nice habit from the Navy!! no mops on the ship!! Just small banister brushes and deck cloth!! I was lucky I progressed up the ranks fairly fast,lol

I had never even heard of poutine until I went to halifax!! I know the CP 140 Aurora pilots make trips to Quebec, just to get the cheese,lol. Wel not just for the cheese, they have to fly so much to keep thier ratings, thus need trips to keep current, and Quebec works out great!!

Glad the wedding is all set!! I venture into OT every now and then just to amze myself on how rude some people can be!! I try to give people the benefit of the doubt-ie, maybe their understanding of the English language is a tad off, being sarcastic, etc! But some just want to tick others off, why, who knows!

CanadaPop Vs. Soda Debate
Yes, not many full service gas stations around the DC area. I actually don't recall seeing any,but I sure they must exist??

I ALWAYS prefer to gas my own vehicle! hate driving in New Jersey (on way to RI) and have to stop for gas,and let them pump it. See some interesting customers working there!!

I pumped gas for a few yrs in Prince Albert SK. rarely got tips, maybe I was a bad gas pumper,lol. What i hated, and only happened a few times was someone say put $20 in, THEN when you goto collect the $$, they stated they only asked for $10!! So they got $10 in free gas!! cheap, lying %^%$%!

CanadaCrossing the border w/ Green Card
No, I have never had a problem passing with my greencard. A few weeks back the USA POE official was grumpy, but I didnt help the matter,lol The funny thing is that if I'm traveling with my wife, the POE officials usually give her a more difficult time than me!

CanadaWithdrawing from RRSP
I belive, probably wrong, once you are anon-resident of Canada,one can't make adjustments to the RRSP's, Its a law, not just related to 1 financial institution! Form 8891 is a pretty easy form to fill out!! The day you cease to be a Cdn resident, you should mark down what your RRSP are worth that day, I think if you ever take them out when ur a USA resident, that figure will come in handy, not positive though,lol
Flames9_RNMaleCanada2008-12-06 08:48:00
CanadaWithdrawing from RRSP
I withdrew my RRSP's a few yrs back when the Cdn$$ was in the 60 cent range, ouch!! Not sure why I did it, but I did,lol I belive Canada immediately took off 25% for taxes, ouch!! I then used CustomHouse.com to tx the $$$ from my Canadian bank acct to my USA one. Much better exchange rate and no fees.

When you cease to be a resident of Canada,ensure u let ur financial institution that is overlooking ur RRSP's know. They will send u a form to fil out. As well for the IRS,you have to fill out form 8891

CanadaGot a call after my Medical....
On the positive side,u can still goto the interview,and they just won't issue the visa until u get the medical, ya it sucks, but could be way worse! When u cal again tomorrow,just stress to the the importance of why you need it. They should already know,but may light a fire under the secretary's ###
