Cheese is way cheaper but doesn't taste as good. Eggs are cheaper. Beer is cheaper. -- Read and obey the Bible. Yu'shua died on the cross for our sins, He rose again and walked the earth.

Happens in Canada too. http:://www.tvboxset.com is run out of Montreal with a US web site. Just because it is on the Internet and in the US means nothing. There are plenty of Canadian con artists. BTW, I don't recommend tvboxset to anyone.

That is a large part of the reason. If anything Canadian cars should be cheaper as Canada does not have lemon law protection and wild legal judgements. Because our economy is effectively closed and often anti-business we suffer. We did it to ourselves. But remember NAFTA works for people too. Buy that next car in the US and GST/DST does not apply on what you save which means you save more.

Commodity cheeses like Kraft, not much difference. Go for the specialty ones in smaller farming centers. Gets quite good. Beer, anything sin is cheaper in the US. In Canada SIN is taxed like gasoline, often as high as 80%. Montana and Alabama prices are dirt cheap compared to Canada. You can also import a case too. But have to add federal and provincial cap taxes at the border. But I like to focus on big stuff, cars, boats...save big bucks means saving big on GST/PST.

Even here in Alberta, with the lowest provincial taxes on gasoline in the all ten provinces, I could save at LEAST $10 a tankful. You are so full of shit and a liar to boot.

No one in their right mind, unless they are a wage slave, wants to be ANYWHERE much before noon. It is absolutely uncivilized to schedule any meetings or appointments before noon. I'm only up now, at 8:12 a.m. because I haven't gone to bed yet.

A 1 gallon motor bike maybe. Trucks can hold 130L, typical fill of 100L. If I bought 100L @97.9 Alberta price, versus 26.4 US gallons (100L) @ 2.80 US in Montana, and assume par, that is $23.98 savings. Your darn right I fill up on return and usually get into the states empty. Cars usually hold half or a little more; so $10 savings is easy.

Don't know about New Brunswick but over here, at Superstore (http://www.superstore.ca/east/ for New Brunswick), turkeys are on special two weeks before each of the big "turkey events", which are Canadian Thanksgiving and Christmas. Grade A Canadian turkeys were indeed, and as expected, on special two weeks before Thanksgiving here in the Vancouver area at 88 cents a pound. Granted, there was a limit of one. Since we needed two, one for my family and one for an association I'm a member of, I had to buy one turkey, return to the parking lot, drop the bird in the trunk of my car and get back to the store to get the second one. Beats going all the way to the US to save 9 cents a pound (based on your quote of the US price). This price of 88 cents a pound is for one week only and it will most likely be repeated two weeks before Christmas. The week just before Thanksgiving, turkeys were selling here for $1.39 a pound. Granted, I have a very large freezer and room for a few frozen turkeys is not an issue for me. J.

No kidding. I remember buying booze on the Strip and the staff apologizing for the price. Dudes and dudettes hanging around outside trying to join the party.

Chevron uses the Techron additive. Ppl going to the States for fuel should be aware that US gas has lower octane levels than the fuel sold here. I used to put in Premium to compensate. As for dragging the hose it can leave a rubber streak on the paint job of the vehicle and in my experience it increases the chance of spilling gasoline on the vehicle. -- Read and obey the Bible.

Well, my vehicle is WHITE and NEVER any marks.

I don't know where you get that crap from. 87 octane is 87 octane. Might have even came from the same refinery. The only place I know that gasoline is sub-par in the US is around Chicago where they cut it with methanol. But you can buy that crap here from Mohawk. And fuel mileage does go down when you burn methanol. In fact, I usually get better mileage on US roads. But I suspect it is because most US cities and hiways are not enamoured with speed traps and traffic lights.

I can't recall the last time I saw a Meteor on the road. Sometimes those gas caps behind the plates were very difficult and ppl used to cut their hands on the metal edges. -- Read and obey the Bible.

Worst ruling ever. There was no such reasonable, responsible, nor professional actions on their part. The tainted blood was on active production and handed out to patients with THEIR knowledge for a over a year, and yet they did nothing about it except collect their fat paychecks.

Would you insist that film makers produce no black & white movies? There are groups for html, but this is a text newsgroup. It is not up to you to change its criteria. If one wants to join a text newsgroup, that is the way it is. I personally find html to be a nuisance when reading mail or news. It would be annoying if every newspaper article was in a different font type and size. Consistency is good in this case. I should add that another reason for the 76-or-under line length is to allow room for quote symbols in long threads. : BTW, I just installed QuoteFix. Does it make any difference? *** No, but you need not have bothered to do that. There is a setting in all newsreaders for line length. Richard

Who, pray tell, would waste the time trying to hack : YOU? *** It's not just about being hacked. The shell server also protects me from viruses, trojans, advertisements, jingles and on and on.

I am simply suggesting that people not ignore that aspect of their computers and to actually let the computer do the work instead of the computer making the user do it. Be aware that the latest systems have command lines, so it's not about turning back the clock. It's about what is the most efficient and speedy way to do one's work. Eye candy just gets in the way. : Revolution. I used to operate an IBM 360/25, so I know all about the total TEDIUM of command lines. : BORING BORING TEDIOUS TEDIOUS. *** You are correct - back in the dark ages. The GUI was more tedious back in those days, too. However, both have come a long way. I can run circles - HUGE circles - around any GUI OS operation. My job would I been a LOT easier with menus, icons, etc., as opposed to : have to construct command lines with EXACTLY the right number of spaces, slashes, hyphens, codes, etc.. : PAIN IN THE ASS, it was. *** Sure, but once that was done, that work could be put into batch files and so the system ran itself. Compare that to having select those same icons and slog through that same menu system for *every* operation. Batch files mean the work only ever has to be done once. In particular, I hate having to tree climb to locate a file on which to do an operation. This has to happen for *every* file operation. With about 2,000 directories on my main system, it's easy to see how inefficient a GUI would be. I give demonstrations of my setups to various individuals and organisations. Even major GUI supporters say it is way faster. My 500 MHz machines are much faster using this setup than a GUI on a 2.4 MHz one. Two fingers on the desk rodent can never compare to ten fingers on the keyboard. Richard
