I don't like taxes. I was hoping for a refund and owe $500. I wanted a new camera body. . . . . . sigh.

Isn't that the truth! Maybe, I'll just pay you, that way I'm not paying Peter to pay Paul. Refunds would be so much easier if they worked that way.

They would!

Just give me my cheque, why wait!? ####### are they waiting for anyways??

I hope they didn't deposit it into my CIBC account... hmm ####### I should check on that.

My husband is the GM of the Applebees in the Woodbridge Mall so he takes 287 every day. He says it's actually not that bad when he goes but his hours are weird.

Yeah, 287 is time-sensitive I used to commute up 287 to 78 a few years ago but lately I've switched to using backroads. Much better during rush hour, 287 can be such a cluster around regular office rush hours. Esp from exits 5 to 12.

The only thing that sucks by me is the closest mall is bridgewater and its about 25 minutes away. I like Bridgewater though.

I like that mall. My wife and I like the new Mexican place in the Food Court there. Check it out.

I HATE the roads in Quebec. Love the province, just hate the road conditions. I just drove hubster and bambino to the airport and as soon as I crossed into Quebec from Vermont, the road turned all bumpy and rutted.

Quebec is notorious for their horrible roads and potholes. I hope they have a great trip and you don't miss them tooooo much!

Awww, thanks Jill I am missing them already, but took advantage of their absence and went for drinks and appies with the girls. It's crazy how strange I feel being home alone now. I mean, I am an only child ... always liked my alone time. Had a few roommates in college, but beginning senior year and continuing until I met my hubby, lived alone. Now, I've been married for 2 years and I am out of my mind when he and the kid are gone! Go figure! LOL

well, I got my car back again today and I noticed that it drove a lot better this time... they had to replace the other fan...

they told my hubby over the phone that it would be 100 bucks for the new fan and they wouldn't charge us for labour.... and then when we got there the guy pulled up the statement and noticed that they had also changed some switch or something which was an extra 60 bucks but the guy said he would just charge us the 100 bucks

Also notorious for high taxes. I can't wait for the day where I dont have to give them any more money.

Good luck. If you owed them money they would want it yesterday. They are a greedy bunch of crooks.

Yea they actually just sent me a notice saying I owe them .75 cents from GST/HST credit. Seriously now???

I'll send them a loonie and tell them to keep the change.

OMG - they seriously wasted $0.52 of postage to request $0.75. Probably spent $35 of labor too to send out that notice. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I like the plan for send a loonie.

Just a vent - and I know I probably won't get much sympathy from those of you in the Northern States and still in Canada, but - enough with winter already!! I was happy to leave winter and snow behind me when I moved south and I haven't missed it a bit. So, after yesterday being in the 70s, we had hail and thunder this morning and it started to snow around 11 am and it still hasn't stopped. Yes it is sticking. This is the deep south - Scarlett O'Hara and Gone With The Wind - we're not supposed to be about snow. The temperature is on its way down back into the low twenties again as well so everything is going to freeze overnight. Not a good day to be on the road tomorrow. And of course, I worry about the feral cats who get wet in this stuff and then it freezes, poor guys. At least the stray I had spayed earlier this week - and let out for the first time yesterday - showed up again tonight finally after me worrying about her all day. She is now back in the garage at least overnight and I will be able to sleep without worry. Her stitches still look fine too. Since her tummy was shaved I was really concerned about her out in this cold weather. The garage is cold too but not as cold and windy as outside and she has a nice warm bed in there where she can curl up and sleep. Okay, weather vent over at least until tomorrow. Tomorrow's vent will be about the dentist appointment I have at 11 for a root canal on an abscessed tooth - thank heavens for antibiotics and ibuprofen.

Gosh Kathryn, when it rains, it snows eh? That was a pun! My in-laws left Florida on Saturday and said they ran into some horrible weather down south. They had 6 inches when they woke up in Nashville yesterday morning. Sorry to hear you got some of that. Ick!! It missed us...luckily I haven't seen any snow this winter at all.

You and I really need to get together again soon Kathryn. I read earlier another post you had about teeth problems, seems that's the story of my life as well. We could commisserate over tepid tea and one of those knotted rags around our heads!

Take care, and hope you're going to feel better after this appointment.
