I'm wishing everyone here a very Merry Christmas, and many blessings and for the happiest of New Years! rose.gif

Good morning everyone! I've been MIA for the holiday season. Gene took off the same time as well from work, and we had a really enjoyable holiday. Had some company, went out to a few events, basically just rejuvenated. I hope everyone else's New Year is off to a good start.

It's very cold here, and has been since the first day of the New Year. I don't like this! Here is morning coffee to warm you up.

Enjoy your day!

Dogs eating cat food CAN injure them given that the percentages of proteins/minerals is quite different in the two foods.

i've heard that cat food has a higher protein content, and when my dog would eat the cat food, she'd scratch all the time. i put the cat food up high where the dog couldn't get it, and the scratching was greatly decreased.

Never heard of cigarettes expiring.... :blink: But I never let mine do that anyways when I smoked.

oh they do........my sister, years ago, used to work in a cigarette vending machine company. cigs expire because that's when the worm eggs can start hatching. ever smoked and heard a pop? that was a worm egg exploding........

CanadaWorld's Friendliest Countries
The Middle East has long had a reputation for being one of the world's perennial trouble spots. But for expatriates, the tiny Persian Gulf county Bahrain ranks as one of the most welcoming places to work.

That's the surprising result of a new survey of 3,100 expatriates conducted by HSBC Bank. Bahrain ranked first in one key measure of how easy it is for expatriates to set up a new life for their families. It received high marks from expats who like the country's easy access to modern health care, decent and affordable housing, and network of social groups that expatriates can join.

Canada, which ranked first in a similar survey last year, fell to second place on HSBC's integration score, which measures how easily foreigners and their families can settle into a new country. Australia, Thailand and Malaysia rounded out the top five. Foreign workers in these countries found it easy to make local friends and said they enjoyed a higher quality of life than in their native countries.

HSBC's Expat Explorer survey was conducted between February and April 2009. Survey respondents were from the U.S., Europe and elsewhere and lived in more than two dozen countries and on four continents. They ranked their new homes based on 23 factors, including food, entertainment, health care, commute and education. Of those measures, HSBC selected eight to create its so-called "integration score," a snapshot of which countries are most welcoming to expats.

It is possible that Bahrain's first-place finish is a fluke. Only 31 expats working in Bahrain participated in the survey, vs. more than 450 respondents from the United Kingdom. Bahrain ranked as the best country to join local community groups and coordinate health care. Respondents found it less easy to make local friends and learn the languages (Arabic, Farsi and Urdu), but the country ranked in the top five when it came to finding a home, setting up finances, and finding good schoolsThe United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom received some of the poorest scores on the integration scale. Expats in the Emirates reported finding it difficult to join local community groups; only 39% of respondents made local friends compared to 76% of respondents living in other countries. Foreign workers in England complained about the challenges of finding affordable housing.

I've met with more than my fare share of Texas stereotypes in Canada. Some of what's been said to me include...

1. "You're from Houston? Wow. So what's a desert like?" (Houston isn't a desert; it's actually very humid, surrounded by quite a few forests and is near the gulf coast)

2. "So you guys wear guns all the time, right? Ever been in a shoot out?" (Please... stop watching TV)

3. "What's the horse-to-car ratio in Houston?" (It's actually illegal to ride a horse within the city limits and if someone did, it'd probably be hit by a car)

4. "Do you really have saloons?" (We HAD them in the 1800s...)

5. "If you're from Texas, why don't you speak like a Texan?" (Because most of us don't sound like the stereotype and just how many Texans have you met?)

6. "You guys sure do act like a bunch of cowboys down there, don't you?" (Considering this was asked to me by someone in Calgary... wink.gif )

Canada should receive preferential treatment when immigrating the the US for family based situations

Yes I do think that certain countries should be fast tracked but I was not specific but now I will be specific: Canada should be fast tracked as most people who even consider immigrating to the US from Canada are not going their to obtain assistance or milk the system they are going for employment, school or love. Canada should receive preferential treatment, uh discrimination happens every day and me posting my opinion won't stop that.

only if they bring me a truckload of timbits per immigrant.
