Re: Flight costs to UK in August?
Try to avoid stopovers with the kids, but we were debating combining it with a vacation (i.e. time away from my parents place) - were thinking within the UK, but maybe we should do somewhere in...

Flight costs to UK in August?
Hi everyone, it's been a while since I posted here, but I still check in every few weeks or so.
Anyway, I haven't travelled to the UK in the height of summer for a long while, and I wondered what...

Re: Cars not repaired after accident
I did well out of the first car I bought when I came here. End of 2002 I bought a '99 Mazda Protege with 49000 miles on it for $5000 cash (it was a manual and I think the dealer was glad to get rid...

Re: Bizarre internet connection problem
So I found the problem in the end. I had previously set up a Linksys router to provide the wireless rather than getting this directly from the Fios router. It appears that the settings may have been...

Re: Bizarre internet connection problem
Seems like the wireless may also be affected - the difference being it only seems to slow down considerably but doesn't lose the connection completely. That would make a little more sense (although...

Re: WTF?
Mine was higher than that - something like 245 and 145 (or thereabouts). I eat home cooked meals, usually take my own lunch to work, both including plenty of fruit and veg. I don't drink soda at all....

Re: WTF?
I was recently told that too and I'm only 37. I eat pretty healthily (actually probably very healthily, especially when compared to a lot of people I know), and exercise 4 times a week (cycling and...

While it might be fine for getting into the US, what nobody has talked about is what happens when she wants to get back in to Canada. Presumably the expired passport would help, but what is the...

Re: any brits near Edison, New Jersey?
I'm close by, in Highland Park (me, American wife, and 2 kids - almost 2 and almost 4). Edison covers a surprisingly large area, so you may or may not be very close.

Re: Auto Insurance
I got my initial insurance while on a visa waiver visit (just before I got my visa). 3rd party insurance on a small car was about $3000 for 6 months.
Edited to add this was almost 10 years ago.
