Do they not do like Canada and apply the minimum only to non marrieds and waive it for marrieds?

I crumpled the box before I could open it.

I dislike when email is used as a means of communication for interviews.

Much prefer a phone call.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

I just received an email from the New Brunswick newspaper group.

Quote:

To ensure up to date coverage of the US election, printing of the November 9, 2016 edition of all publications will be delayed by 30 minutes.

Please note that delivery will be delayed as a result. The majority of customers can be expect to receive their newspaper by 8 AM

They've never done this before. Not even for Canada elections.

Inspired by another thread, does anyone on here use a dash cam and if you do which one?
