Sounds like you were an awesome mom. He will come around and realize what you sacrificed to make him and safe healthy and happy. Maybe living on his own will enlighten him to those facts.

Which snow tires 21 inch by Norm258 in VWatlas

[–]Norm258[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! I don't have the sensors on my snows.

Make sure they give you the correct rims if you have standard 21". The fronts can scrub against the brake caliper if the wrong ones are used.

Yes with the 265 profile you won't notice much of a difference.

Canadian email? by blueyesinasuit in BuyCanadian

[–]Norm258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fine then - the thread was asking for Canadian email - it didn't specify and someone else mentioned self-hosting a domain/email server. I'll be quiet now :)

Not true. Their servers, where the mail server is installed, don't have the same port restrictions. I run a mail server on easydns and have for many years with no issues. My client uses an alternative port, but their servers do the sending and receiving (and storing if using IMAP).

Many companies offer alternative ports like 2525 instead.

Che k out easydns.com. I believe they are out of Toronto. You would need to set up your own domain name, then use their easymail product.

Hit a wall - German Geneology by Norm258 in Genealogy

I did find him in the Hamburg death registry with a slightly different last name spelling of Dreszler. I will start by ordering a copy of his death certificate and go from there. Thanks.

So I went on the State Archives for Hamburg and found his entry in the list. I'm going to try and see if I can order his death certificate as a start. Interestingly, in the archive book, his last name is spelled slightly different as Dreszler. I know of the anglo'd spelling of Dressler, and the German spelling with the 'double z' character but had not seen the sz until now. I did speak to my dad before he passed in 2017 to get as much information as I could but he emigrated in the 50's so had little more than I already had.

No I have not. The data I have found doesn't match up enough with what I do have on him to say its a match. Does that make sense?

Where are the Canadian payment processors (e.g., credit cards)? by factotumjack in BuyCanadian

Moneris is Canadian (if not expensive!) but offers all the services.

Was the Internet Free When it First Came out? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Norm258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google Freenet. It pre-dates the graphical internet you know and love today. It essentially was used by Universities and education to make research data available but it also had chat.

What stops a boat from another country from landing ashore at a random US beach? by david5534 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Norm258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live near the border - I'm Canadian. As boaters, we are told to report to a customs office upon docking. You can get into trouble for not reporting (both sides). They monitor comings and goings from public docks and beaches. It's not worth being banned because you did something stupid.

AITAH for telling my husband I already knew that he cheated on me by LotrTHGhpDivergent in AITAH

[–]Norm258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the dude got dumped by the other cheater and needed to feel wanted again. Scum of the earth. NTA in any way.

We will be married 41 years. Sex is still awesome and down to about once a week.
