Played cloverdale today (second time ever) and I did something I have never done before. I hit 16 greens in reg. Too bad I couldn't putt those greens. From tee to green prob the best I have played.. Had 9 birdie putts inside 12 feet. :rolleyes Only made one birdie... And that was when I missed an...

Looking for an accountant ASAP to help me file my personal income tax. Nothing heavy. Took me 15 mins on quick tax but I'm paying way too much (in the 5 figures). I'm looking for a professional opinion. If you are an accountant or know someone who can spare 30 mins I'd be very appreciative....

How do you post a photo when you create a thread?

I currently have 2 Bell satellite receivers and only 2 ports to hook to on my dish. I want to add a third receiver and maybe later on a fourth. Do I need a new hook up on my dish that has three or four ports or is there a way to split it in the house? And what about HighDef? Does the same dish work...

I am trying to decide if incorporating is right for my business. Advantages consist of limiting personal liability, which is not a major concern, and the lower tax rate for small businesses which could be nice, but I'm not sure how it all works. Disadvantages would be the added paperwork...

I think this is officially the last winter I'll be able to handle in my apartment, and I think it's time that if I move, that I get a house rather than throwing any more money down the drain at an apartment. I need a deck to fire up the BBQ all year round and enjoy a nice thick steak. With that...

I am just curious which category people fall under when it comes to age. I recently participated in a poll for the Ottawa Region so this is what gave me the idea...

There are a lot of people on Ottawa Golf who say they will buy something and the buyer agrees to hold the item for them. Then the buyer never makes any attempt to pick the item up. I respect a person if they come and decide not to buy because the goods were not as described or the buyer expected...

I take it everyone has heard about this... Guy on an American Airlines flight (that hadn't taken off yet) from Miami to Orlando said something about having a bomb in his carry-on bag...air marshal asks him to de-plane, he does, but when they order him to get down on the tarmac, he starts to...

What do you use for booking airline tickets? Online I have used expedia.ca for the last several years but now I would like to try something different. Their customer support has gone down the drains so I would like to keep my options open (My fights are mostly international)

I am flying to corpus christi today. So far it is 7pm and I have made it as far as Detroit. My flight leaving Ottawa was delayed, forcing me to miss my connection to Houston. Of course, now my flight to Houston that I was rebooked on has been delayed and will get me there, by 10:20PM or so they...

Last week I downloaded Alanis' new album, Flavors of Entanglement. I'm no expert, but it seems to me that this album will be a huge success. Great lyrics, great beat, great sound. One critic described it as psychobabble. I must like babble, because she's hooked me, especially with the volume...

A golfer set up his ball on the first tee, took a mighty swing and hit his ball into a clump of trees. He found his ball and saw an opening between two trees he thought he could hit through. Taking out his 3 wood, he took another mighty swing,the ball hit a tree, bounced back, hit him in...

It's time to buy a new computer. The old one (Dell Dimension 8300) still works like a charm, but a new machine is one of my retirement treats. I was about to purchase a Dell XPS system with a "downgraded" Microsoft XP Professional operating system. However, I noticed the Alienware link on the...

looking for a last minute all inclusive. Any recommendations on where to look?

I'm looking at getting All season tires soon and was wondering if anyone has recommendations or know of any good deals. I do have winter tires and rims so the all seasons will be used for the three other seasons. I quickly looked at CT which has the Goodyear Allegra and Motomaster AW/H. Thanks...

Just wondering if there is anyone else out there with seasonal allergies. And if so have your allergies flared up in particularly in the last couple of weeks. Iseem to be having problems with allergies, but basically only around golf courses in the past couple of weeks. And after a day of 36...

Is anyone else out there dying right now!!!!

I went to Sensations at Scotiabank Place at the crack of dawn this morning because I just HAD to have a Ottawa Senators 2007 Eastern Conference Champions hat (the official locker room hat btw). Imagine my surprize to see 8-12 people already camped out waiting for a chance to buy tickets for the...

So today I woke up to find a nice little City of Ottawa ticket on my car. As you can probably guess, it was for parking on the road during a snow removal night. Now why I am filing a grievance? Because they didn't plow the road! How is it that I can get a ticket for parking where they don't...

Hey, Looks like the house may need re-shingling. As I plan on keeping it for sometime, I was thinking of installing aluminum shingles. Anyone else install? If so, thoughts? Mike

ok, Bugsy wants to buy some winter rims for her 2005 Chevy Cobalt so she calls the dealership..... They say and I quote 'Sorry mam, you have 16 inch 4 bolt rims, they no longer make 16 inch 4 bolt rims, they now only have 15 inch 5 bolt rims, you should have bought the winter rims/tires when you...

This video is amazing, this guy shows the whole world how the Stonehenge was build. It’s just a matter of ingenuity. Just move the bigger rock with the help of smaller ones, and gravity. It’s amazing, just watch it. http://itrocks.biteus.org/amazing-st...istery-solved/ <!-- / message --><!--...

Does anyone know a 3rd party shipper from the usa? There's a luggage set i want to buy on amazon but of course they don't ship to canada.

Every day, not just on the Super Bowl. I have the Giants/Cowboys game on in the background (in HD) and had it on TSN when they went to commercial. On came a crappy SD commercial or Canadian Tire or something else I've seen a million times. Switched to NBC-HD just in time to see a really cool...

I went to work this morning with a set of CG2s all boxed up in my back seat to be mailed after work at about 2pm. Usually i would transfer my valuables over to my trunk, but i work at a golf resort full of welloff retirees & such with zero crime, so I figured, "what are the chances?" So at...

while browsing the people of walmart, I came accross a link to a site called this is why you're fat. I've been chuckling for the past half hour, I had to share. I didn't post links directly to the sites, because at the very least they are of questionable taste, and some may find the walmart one...

Okay, so I'm watching the new Terminator show and the wife is watching with me. After, she asks if I liked it, I said for sure and the girl is hot! Now the girl plays a 15-16 year old girl (but she's a cyborg of course) in the pilot. The actress is 27 years old! The wife is shocked that I find a...

Or more to the effect of how unobservant some are. As most of you know, I post on a few sites when I'm in need of satisfying my urge to try something new. So I post an ad looking for wedges. I get maybe three replies for the 3-5 days that the ad has been posted. Well yesterday I found a great...

Anna Nicole Smith passed away at the age of 39 this afternoon in a hotel in Florida.

Happy Birthday Foxman!!:thumbsup :party :party

I was checking my junkmail that is held back at my email server and came across one from the UK HERITAGE TRUST LOTTERY PROMOTIONS . The contents stated I had won $850,000 pounds by being selected in a random draw blah blah yada yada :) Now it did not ask for a credit card # etc, but I am thinking...

Today we took the drive across Florida to hopefully witness a shuttle launch as this is something that I have always wanted to do. After a three hour drive we joined the many thousands of people across the water from Cape Canaveral and as weather held out we witnessed our first launch. All I can...

Have a Happy Birthday tomorrow LBH! :cheers

I was informed last night that one of OG's Ryder Cup members, Geronamo (Jason), decided to pop the question to his lady. His resolve was strong, but apparently not strong enough. Unlike Mattchew, there was no mention of a plasma during his phone-call. Apparently negotiations are key in these...

Although I have not met Hoolio yet, by all accounts this should be a perfect present for him. http://coolerscooterdirect.com

I realize this is not likely the forum to find Amateur Radio Ops. But I thought I would ask! If there are any who post here let me know. I have been playing radio since the early 90's. Not all that active but I am available. Rick
