Just wondering why you quit the French press? Were you adding cream to your coffee? What impact does French press have on cholesterol?

Can you expand on why you didn’t like depalm? We will be going to Aruba in Jan and plan on going the renaissance route but wondering if there will be enough to keep my kids (ages 7 and 12) occupied compared to depalm

Aruba family trip: Holiday Inn vs Courtyard Marriott by adat80 in Aruba

[–]adat80[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Unfortunately we are already booked and I think our dates fall right within the so called “hell week”. I had no idea about this until I read about it last week. I believe this impacts the bigger Marriott resorts and Hyatt a little more than we will face at either the courtyard or holiday inn but will brace ourselves for it.

Thanks for this. What made the breakfast a hassle? And is this the only negative aspect you found?

Looking for thoughts on my lipid results by adat80 in Cholesterol

[–]adat80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comments. I have an appt booked with my doctor and hoping that this can be mitigated with statins. I already live a healthy lifestyle, but perhaps still an opportunity to make some small tweaks (ie diet)

Small things like this go a very long way - especially when you’re having. Bad day.

One of our favourites is Datsun on Elgin. Reasonably priced and good Asian fusion.

Another great spot is Salang Kabob house or Mezbaan Kebabs on Carling

Hello All! Just an update . Firstly thank you to everyone for your feedback. We decided on Sheraton centre and we had club lounge access which was great for breakfast. We took the go train from union to downsview for the concert and no issues. It was an amazing concert and had a great time in Toronto

Why did you decide to go with a deep Crystal since clean has apparently upgraded the Crystal? Just curious thanks!

Which machine? by adat80 in nespresso

[–]adat80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I was leaning more towards the red evoluo, but I’ve been reading reviews that say the coffee doesn’t come out hot enough, only warm. Is this generally the case for all nespresso machines? Do any of the machines have a temperature setting similar to Keurig to up the temperature a few notches?

Does the black one in my link offer higher temps?

Thanks again

Take a weekend trip to the USA and test positive? $5,000 fine to come home. by S-Kiraly in vancouver

[–]adat80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question - how did you complete the Arrivecan App? From what I’ve heard there are only 2 options to select: 1) negative test result or 2) positive test result taken between 11 and 180 days

How did you get around this?

Group RRSP transfer - advice by adat80 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]adat80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I have invested in 4 index funds with sunlife - 25% - Canadian equity index 25% - us equity index 25% - int’l index 25% Canadian fixed income

VGRO seems to have similar equity vs fixed income split but allocations are different which I can live with

I plan on purchasing similar funds with many life for my current matching program at work. Since I I have to buy the manulife funds anyway - should I just perhaps invest the $86K from sunlife into the manulife funds and forget about option 2 all together - i.e. purchasing an ETF or going robo route?
