We’ve heard that DR isn’t all that inviting to Canadians unless they speak Spanish. Handful of friends said the staff would literally ignore them and go only toward Spanish / French speaking tourists and ignore the English speakers. But….could just be the tourists weren’t good to them. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm typing this as we wait for our shuttle back home from Cancun and we can't help but wonder where to go next year as we make sacrifices annually to save for the next trip (i.e.: we start saving the week we return and put money away so we pay cash and not credit). Where are some general...

Claims mean nothing without real world experience. I can claim to be 30, 6ft tall, and rich with a full head of hair. Sadly all of those are a lie. Show me the proof and validation. As for the 500e…I’d love one as a commuter (same as a Mini EV). But right now neither is an option due to cost...

The ONLY reason I do my higher up roof is because I’m scared of heights. I have a side split same as you, and those first few rows terrify me. If it wasn’t for tjay. I’d do my damn roof myself as it’s coming up for replacement. Unless my friends agree to 1.5….but over many tequilas in MX...

Well said and all things I had to be careful with my dad. He liked to do some shortcuts that he’s done before and I basically ripped off any boards that didn’t properly set. Now…I was militant and WAY overdid it….but as I said before, I’m extremely proud of the results and how it came out...

Didn’t know about the motor. But at least new ones should have decent warranty to cover any issues. I think he paid close to 20k all in with the luggage and everything.

Been about 2 seasons now and buddy said he loves his IBEX800. Honestly his review is making me consider it as a replacement for the Scrambler. I saw them all over Poland last year with many dealers. And tons of them here in Mexico also. Not sure about dealer support in Ontario but...

Exactly. 'Unskilled labour' just means that it's not a certified trade but a basic knowledge of the work is required to not totally screw up a job (whether for oneself or a customer).

A cult is a cult….regardless of flavour or colour. Whenever someone tells me I ‘drink the koolaid’ my response is always the same… ‘We all drink the kool-aid. Only difference is the colour and flavours.’

The biggest mistake people make with vinyl siding is the nail is too tight and doesn’t allow the vinyl to expand and contract with temperature changes. Look at any vinyl siding in your area on a hot day and you’ll see the effect in wavy siding. It’s because it’s fixed in place and can’t float...

I didn't even know there were FIAT dealerships in Canada. Just thought they sold under the Chrysler branded dealerships.

The ‘Don’t tread on me crowd’ loves being trampled on by their own hero. Hilarious how many of them protect the First Amendment…but are too chicken to protect it when the downfall of their nation is being speed run by corrupt politicians. Just goes to show how much BS is there, and they’re all...

Here we go. Someone will get their cut… https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-allow-resale-venezuelan-oil-cuba-treasury-department-says-2026-02-25/ Right into a personal bank account in the Middle East of initials DJT….

He folds like a cheap suit when challenged. I don’t think he would because every time a nation has stood up to him he’s folded.

Food is great. But the nation needs fuel to operate. I don’t understand why all the countries that have been sending tourists can’t just tell Trump to GFY and send fuel instead. Not like the USA is a reliable partner any longer.

Yup. Have seen the ‘specialists’ and ‘pros’ do horrifying things with siding. I figure if the pros do such a 💩 job lots of times, I can take my chances and save 100k. I’d say ours worked out pretty good. Not perfect but well done.

My current one is prime - 1.3% Last I talked to my broker it was approx 4%. I don’t know if my remaining bit has the risk awareness required for this type of move.

So you’re saying take out (for example) a 100-200-300-? k mortgage and use those funds to invest? Dicey proposition but I’ve seen it both work great, and fail spectacularly.

Could have just been a tactic to get a better deal and it backfired spectacularly. First thing I look for is aluminum wiring and use that to my advantage.
