Forum: Almost Anything

I have a large enough gift card for Home Depot that I'd like to purchase a nice BBQ. I already have a natural gas line, so I'll be going this route, and I have to buy it at Home Depot, since I have the gift card. I'm wondering everyone's thoughts on Weber's vs. Vermont Castings, I plan on keeping...

Well it's getting close to my 1,000th post. What kind of gift can I expect? I don't want anything fancy, especially in these tough economic times.

It's almost time and I am in need of some new golf clothes. Know of some good deals or where I should start my search? Ebay? States? I am waiting on my passport here and I will be making a drive down that way in the next month or so if you have some places I should check out.

Have had a couple of interesting conversations lately about Itrader ratings. Has anyone else noticed that there is no one on this site that has a rating less than 100%? I suppose this is possible because of the unique 'family' that this forum has, but it would seem highly unlikely that every...

OK, so our toaster died this week so I was in the Rideau center looking for one last night. I'm a little finicky when it comes to toasters: must be 4-slice, needs to fit in with the kitchen, has to not feel or look "plasticky" if you know what I mean. So I'm in the Bay looking at their selection...

I'm making two turkeys, one in the oven and one deep fried, for my side of the family's christmas dinner tonight. My step-mother-in-law is making a ham for the wife's side tomorrow. HAM???? I've never had a ham for christmas, I mean, it's HAM!

Just wanted to share that Spackler (Dave) and his wife Kath gave birth to a healthy baby girl this morning. Name is Islay weighed in at 7 pounds 1 ounce. Mother and baby are doing well. Congrats again!!

do you have an eye for detail There are two identical pictures that will appear on the screen. Almost 8,000 people were tested to see if they could find the 3 differences in the two pictures and only 19 found all 3. See how observant you are. If you find all 3, you're one of very few

During the last week my connection to the Internet has mysteriously disappeared, without warning, for hours at a time. The result was the same in both cases: the inability to access the server for my email and the inability to connect to the Net through my Internet Explorer browser. Extensive...

Just looked outside and it's coming down in huge flakes. I check the Weather Network site and it says "trace amounts" for this afternoon. Trace my .........my driveway and car are already covered. After I shovelled this morning already from last night's dump. I've had enough! This is ridiculous!!!!...

hey everyone ... I thought I'd throw this out there ... (not sure if this is the right forum or not - or if I might have better luck in another thread) ... bought a new house last year ... thought we'd try to get through the summer without A/C (seeing as we live in the country - Embrun) ......

Could be a rumour but Dan McTeague just announce that the price of gas will be 12¢ a liter higher tomorrow morning (Friday Sept. 12) in Ottawa. http://www.mcteague.ca/WebPages/gas_price_chart.htm Could be a rumour but he is usually right...

Looking for the best protection for my new laptop. Running windows vista. Recommendations? Links?

Anyone have any gems they discovered in terms of music this year? For me i'm in love with Delta Spirit, Blitzen Trappen, Elliott Brood and the Animal Liberation Orchestra. Check any of em out and you won't be disappointed!

This has annoyed me enough that I figured I needed to start my own rant thread. Everyone keeps saying how big an effect the price of gas is having. I call BS. Gas is $0.30 per liter more expensive than a year ago when nobody complained about it. All of a sudden this is now a huge issue. ...

Don't watch much television except for golf. Wife watches a lot of old movies but I set her up with Netflix.com with an IP address blocker and WD tv and she watches everything over the internet. I noticed that there are services that offer live coverage of professional golf over the net and if that...

Ok now, the Playoffs are here. Let's see if we do better at hockey than we did with the Match Play Tournament. Just for bragging rights of course. :D Pick the team to win each series and in how many games. One point for winning team and one point for correct amount of games for possible 30...

Do you own an iPod? I just got one, and it's pretty cool.

How do I delete Internet Explorer been trying no luck. Can anyone inform me or has Bill made it impossible. The add/remove doesn't work, gogni to the folder doesn't work. I want a clean sweep! THanks, Rob

Has anyone here ever gotten on the wrong train? I'm on one now! I was in MTL on business and got to the train station. All trains late. Hear the announcement for my train. Go out to the correct letter and wait. The train comes. THe conductor says are you in Coach 3. I say of course. I sprint...

I'd make a rule that during 6-9am the only things you can buy at drivethru are coffee and donut orders. If everyone ordered that it would flow so quickly. Then you get someone ordering a 2 bagels and a sandwich and everyone waits and becomes late for work so someone can have 3 sandwiches and is too...

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...

Ok I'm stumped. I've been asked to provide a list for father's day and I can't think of anything I need. Looking for gifts in the $20 range as my kids do not have any money. Do you have any suggestions?

Seeing as how the forum betting rule has been lifted, I have a little something for anyone interested: How long will the FT-5 stay in my bag? (This is mainly for jvincent who thinks I can't keep a club for longer than an hour. :)) Rules are simple: 1) Only two members can enter...

I am deciding what model of LCD 37 inch TV I want to buy. The other day my wife and I were in Costco and I noticed a 37 inch Viewsonic LCD priced at $799.00. Now normally I tend to shy away from non big name electronic products due to warranty issues etc. However this TV had a great picture and a...

Here are some picks of the new place so far! Getting pretty excited about it!

So dude, how was the party last night? Wish I could have made it and been the only white dude!!! :-)

He didnt visit the white house He puts a statement on his facebook. And what difference will this make in the world? Seems to me it's only going to distract and possibly hurt the team. I see nothing positive or constructive in his decision.

If you had to get a second job to work at in your spare time, some evenings and some weekends, to keep you from being bored more than anything (the money is a bonus) what would you do? And, it is to be worked at mostly in the colder months because there is lots to do during the summer to keep you...

You guessed it!! My lawn is being devoured by grubs. :grumpy: The crows have been feastng on them and turning over the sod to a point where my lawn is 50% raw earth. I raked last night and they turned up in handfuls as I uncovered the earth. White grubs, brown heads and curled up. ...

Well, we've had some mighty debates the past few months, so why don't we have a warm and fuzzy get to know one another thread... 1-Favourite Male Golfer (History) Payne Stewart 2-Favourite Female Golfer (History) Annika Sorenstam 3-Favourite Golf Course (World) Pebble Beach, Spyglass...

Who's in. We can pick a place, meet up for some drinks. Most of you won't see eachother until golf starts again right? So why not meet up for some drinks and shoot the s#$t? I was thinking Kanata but if that doesn't work we can do downtown, anyone know any good places? Indio, hacker, fundonny,...

Haven't seen or heard from 'Richard' in quite some time. Anyone know where he is hiding out? :meditate:

Hey Bugsy, I know that you have been very busy with the "Fun Event" but I couldn't help but notice that Indio's iron were quite dirty today and I think it was adversely affecting his game..........Once you finish cleaning the house, washing the truck, mowing the grass, raking the lawn, doing the...

Ottawa is a pretty special place for celebrating Canada Day, but I saw so many cameras downtown today I figure everyone brought one wherever they were, so let's see what you shot on Canada Day.

There is a killer deal on a few items at the Home Depot this week. The Ridgid Max Select brand of cordless tools is on sale for $79 bux and it's also 2 for 1. You will not beat that deal anywhere nor the warranty that comes with it - lifetime. The tool set consists of a reciprocating saw, circular...

Help Guys:wallbash I'll bet everyone has gone through this. Right now everything is working; all of a sudden I loose my signal and it stays off until I unplug everything and start up again. Has been doing this for over 2 weeks now and Ma Bell or any of the shops can't seem to pinpoint the...
