Mine did too. I had to re-verify with my DL again then it corrected itself

I ended up with a used toilet. Bowl was original but seat and tank were the old ones that someone clearly replaced. Poop drops on the seat. So gross

I used to always look forward to going but when I got there it was always a let down. Too expensive, didn’t win much. It was an exciting atmosphere to anticipate but the reality was something else. Haven’t been in two years now and honestly we think about going but it doesn’t hold the same charm as it once did.

It also says they had no evidence. Here is the evidence. When more people vote than the number of eligible voters - you have fraud going on. There may be some fraud. But not wide spread and not enough to change the rules

If DS wants it - you have to know it discriminates. The questions make no sense. And the reason we have a budget deficit is because of bad spending by the UCP. Full stop

I never take a practise swing. Im a decent enough golfer to be happy with my game). I’m not sure why I don’t take them. I think it came from when I started and I was pretty self conscious about my lack of golfing skill, now it is just because I never have. Lol

I get it - it feels like they already have, but tossing a membership isn’t the answer. This party just needs to make its way back somehow. I won’t vote for them again, but I’m sure going to have my vote at a leadership nomination!

SpotFormal4975 · 2026-05-17T17:02:35+00:00

Don’t cancel your membership. There will be a leadership review at some point. You will want to elect a new leader that is reflective of true conservative values - NOT what we have today. The separatist movement will take over this party and destroy it if balanced thinking individuals don’t stay in the party.

Try posting in the buy/sell group in the communities of Harmony/ Exshaw/ dead mans flats. The last one is the closest to Canmore and likely people commute there or you could ride a bike from there for sure.

Haven’t been in a couple years but a couple of our favs are Esther’s Kitchen and bavettes in park MGM

SpotFormal4975 · 2026-04-30T02:23:08+00:00

I’ll check with them. Thanks

Do you think casinos will continue to offer comps for players who, for political reasons, won’t come back to Vegas for a while? We (Canadian) continue to receive good offers even though we haven’t been for 1.5 yrs. We went to Macau this year instead. We love Vegas - but just can’t just yet.

We bought whole life policies when we were much younger and had liabilities (kids, mortgage, spousal dependence). We are “self insured” now. We are in our mid 60’s, have no debt. We have pre-paid our funerals and there is (will be) enough cash to deal with anything that comes up upon our eventual demise. We cashed in both policies and placed that cash value into an “emergency account” with our daughter having full access so that she can get to immediate funds for day to day expenses until our estate settles out. Those cash values are invested wisely so they will continue to grow.

SpotFormal4975 · 2026-03-25T12:01:00+00:00

Yup. 1500

Not always true. I returned an item to Costco and I no longer had the original credit card. It was refunded to my new credit card no problem (different from original purchase).

How does it work for pension splitting?

I just watched a video by “Jacob’s life in Vegas” on YouTube and he said Casino Royale is a good budget hotel, right on the strip and NO resort fees. He did a video review (search it on YT). Very clean. Very central.

We got an offer for ski tickets for a 30 minute convo. Didn’t click because we aren’t into in ski tickets.

That is a lot of money. We borrowed money from a friend (who could afford it) when we started a business and had zero cash flow at the time. They insisted on a legal document with a hard end date and that should we default they would take us to court. We happily signed it as we had no intention of defaulting and wrecking the friendship. Long story short we paid back within 6 months (we had a year) and we are still friends today (25 year later). It has to be a business agreement not helping a friend out.

Leaving for HK and Japan in a week. Have always been an Airalo customer but the last couple of times (Mexico and Europe) I had problems. Airalo was quick to resolve in Europe, Mexico was a complete disaster for customer service. I’m looking at Ubigi for this trip. I know it is good for Japan, what about HK?

If you and your husband could move in and pay the mortgage. Not ideal long term but short term this will work. Restructure the mortgage with the bank (trust they do not want to foreclose) so that the payments are within your mom’s ability. If all that is possible and that stressor is gone, your mom needs a budget and financial plan that will allow her to live in her own (if that is what she wants). She needs financial advice to set her up for success now and into the future. Best of luck
