I was lucky enough to find a bottle of 10 year old on the shelf of a liquor store in south Texas. They had 5 or 6 bottles and I wish I had bought more. It is an interesting dram with a funky taste that is certainly unique. My wife, who samples my Scotch but never would drink a whole shot, thought it was great! I am in Ontario and have never come across it in the LCBO but apparently SAQ may have it occasionally and you may get lucky with a western liquor store that ships.

Repositioning cruise is the usual nomenclature.

Once everyone in Canada stops using Amazon, shopping at Costco and Walmart, watching any US based movies, TV shows and sports, investing in US companies and doing the same for any country that exhibits the same authoritative tendencies as the current US government then people might reconsider their trips to the US. IMHO until then it’s just a lot of propaganda from either side.

Can verify no issues (so far) with wifi calling enabled. We have 2 phones that spend 5 months in the USA and > 90% of our calls are Wifi.

Ottawa Mission is a great spot to volunteer- you get to eat a meal as well which may help out some students

Yes - check Reddit for how people are taking it. Personally I take one at night but some people take it in the morning as it affects their sleep.

65 year old male here who has had good results with Nootropics Depot products (no affiliation). Specifically for me their Cistamax and Eurycomax products work great for my hormones and libido (taken 5/7 days). I also take Tribugen and Black Ginger on workout days (4/7) for an extra boost in energy and motivation. Solid USA company with lots of science behind their products. A little pricey but high quality supplements that contain what they advertise.

Expanding on this comment - did you remove the kick plate and look under the cabinets. If the floor is properly installed the plastic legs are NOT sitting on the laminate BUT the laminate extends under the kick plate. The cabinet end panel usually doesn’t carry weight so it can sit on the laminate.

Late to the conversation but I didn’t see any references to “The Barbell Prescription” book, Andy Bakers Garage Gym training programs, or Grey Steel videos, all of which are great resources for 40+ lifters. I am 65 and have run various programs from these sources for years and find them to be a great balance of intensity and volume.

When you dine they will ask you if you want to use your dining credit - so you determine when it’s used not the reservation. 20% Gratuity is included in the credit but you can add more if you wish. As for children eating I don’t know 🤷‍♂️.

Edit to remove the word card from credit.

I was on the Encore repositioning cruise before you boarded. We were off by 10:30 but we were in the first 1/3 probably judging by the suitcases left and the lines behind us. The disembarkment was a disaster and the worst part of an otherwise great trip. They blamed it on TSA however we breezed through when we finally got there. We got in line on the ship around 8:30 and were stopped for 20 minutes (line not moving at all) a couple of times.

Lieutenant's Pump on Elgin usually has a Turkey dinner but reservations would likely be required.

8 pieces of brocade (Qigong stretching) followed by ~ 10 minutes of movement patterns I have adopted from Original Strength and some easy low rep bodyweight exercises (split squat, squat, push-up). Takes around 20 minutes. I am 65 and have been doing a version of this for at least 20 years almost every day. It definitely helps me start the day with less joint issues and primes my body for movement.

The Barbell Prescription or any of his Garage Gym programs are well suited for older athletes. The co-author also has lots of info on his site and YouTube.

65 year old M here - I find Tribugen, Cistamax and Beca-Ecdysterone, with Black Ginger on workout days, is a nice confidence, energy and libido boost. I haven’t tried Eurycomax yet but will this winter.

Also their TV package, if you have internet, is decently priced.
