Re: "Australia's 10 best paid jobs" article
Airline pilots for the major airlines I would expect to be making over $100k a year and rightly so. I think again the average would be dragged down by the many, many, very low paid pilots that are...

Re: "Australia's 10 best paid jobs" article
I'm surprised, my husband's salary was pretty much bang on.
I was surprised CEO's were so low but I can see how the real small companies would drag down the average. I have no issues with medical...

Re: Skate a River
What month will you be coming? For your best chance you'd probably have to aim for February. Our grass was still green the week before Christmas so there wouldn't have been any rivers to skate on...

Re: I thought it was spring in canada?
I'm guessing the August snow was in 2002. My wedding was the August long weekend in 2002 about 2 hours from Calgary. It snowed in Calgary that weekend... we were just a little surprised!

Re: Should fat people pay more to fly?
Maybe they should use the same kind of rule as they have with your carry on baggage. You know, the little metal frame they have by the gate that you can put your carry on baggage in to make sure it...

Re: CARES harness - anyone got one?
I would have to agree about the car seat. It's only really useful if you can actually use it (legally) at your destination. Even then it's a pain in the butt to have to cart around.

As a former math teacher (born and raised in Canada) I think it's safe to say that in Canada it's always Math or Mathematics, never "maths".
