Unless you have a very specific goal that you think you can achieve by doing it then I'd say forget it and put aside the idea. What is it that you hope to achieve by speaking in public and what is the audience you expect to target? If you can't specifically articulate that then you shouldn't...

if you're only using the phone for texting then you don't need to reset the phone or even use a second phone, just use a second texting app and back up the texts on that app and uninstall the app at the time of border crossing. No need to wipe the whole phone if you're already comfortable using...

It's interesting to me that having use of the internet was supposed to simplify both the search and the communications process as opposed to using print ads like they did old school, but at the same time it has introduced levels of risk and complexity that didn't exist before. To clarify, I'm...

if they had an oom-pa-pa band with them then you know for sure it was an Oktoberfest party

That is excellent advice and exactly correct. You answer exactly what you're asked, politely, and add absolutely nothing extra to your response. Trying to be chummy with them usually creates the opposite response to what you're looking for. Also, if you use a secondary app or account for your...

Walmart wants me to put up my Christmas tree while I eat turkey in my Halloween costume.

The Quebec provincial election.

When I lived in Vancouver I got bored waiting at a particular intersection because the red light was long and turning right could be an issue when I wanted to because of the pedestrian traffic. In order to entertain myself I started a little pastime I called Miss Crosswalk, whereby I would look...

$400 to replace a fucking car key is absolutely insane. I feel like I need to file a police report after even hearing the quote because it's so criminally expensive.

The interview really isn't a big deal. Mostly they give you a last chance to be an idiot and admit that you're trying to immigrate or that you're a drug dealer or a terrorist. My initial interview took about 2 minutes, literally. They confirm your details on the application and then ask you "are...

For anyone looking to come with any type of regularity at all, even just 2-3 times a year, I highly recommend getting a NEXUS card. It used to cost just $50 for 5 years and was the best money I ever spent. I think it's doubled that in price now and will still be the best money you ever spent. It...

I don't doubt it for a second! lol. :)

I'm sorry, but this is just wrong, if I understand you correctly GFE is not a default setting in case you don't want PSE. GFE is a specific type of service, which must be requested, just like PSE is a specific type of service. Neither is considered the "default" service in this environment...

No, actually, we don't, and that's the problem. We used to know what that meant. Now we can't assume anything and we must ask each individual provider specifically what the term means to them. Virtually no two providers will agree. Of course they can offer whatever they want, and that's not an...

When the city doesn't even bother to try to pretend to be optimistic or positive and they say the traffic during the world cycling championships is going to be the worst thing ever then I think people have a right to be scared. I go to areas where they're having it all the time. It's going to be...

The different variations in the marketing use of the acronyms makes the question almost meaningless, honestly. It used to mean GFE offered french kissing and bbbj, whereas PSE would offer anal (although some included other more exotic services too). Clear and easy. Now in today's use of...

I am sick and tired of going to Canadian Tire and Walmart, being in an empty store at the beginning of the day, getting to within 10 feet of the cash register but then having to walk 100 yards back and forth through impulse buy aisles so that I can get to that same register and pay for my...

relocation flight ticket prices! :)

so I heard a joke, and it's probably an old joke, and It goes: A Roman centurion walks into a bar, holds up two fingers and says "I'll have 5 beers please". Ok, that was worth a small chuckle from me, but as my brain processed the joke then I started to wonder "How did the Romans do...

No, her flight round trip from Colombia was $500. I mentioned she was a Colombian girl. I never travel with women from Canada. That would defeat the purpose as per the rest of the thread discussion above.
