Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
When I renewed last time, I got a copy of my entry history from CBSA (I think it was $5 or something around that, requested online) and there were some missing entries that appeared CBSA did not record.
Caused no issues, I also provided other evidence I was in Canada, pay stubs, gov't paperwork with dates, tax returns, copy of lease etc.
I suppose in theory it can cause issues, but I can provide evidence needed I am present and accounted for in Canada.

It sounds like you were wise to have accounted for the discrepancies, whereas if you had assumed their records were complete and correct they may have contacted you about the missing parts, thus delaying the application.

US vs Canada Amazon orders.
My dad gave me a gift card on Amazon.com (I ask him to as .com is more useful) so I ordered 4 items last night at 7:45pm.
Got an email today from the parcel place at 9:32am that the parcels have arrived.
Not even 14 hours from ordering to delivery.
Amazon doing more and more of their logistics in the US is really making them one fast and efficient service.
And this was standard free shipping for ordering over $49.
Wonder if we will ever see this sort of speed and efficiency in Canada?
I am still waiting on my .ca order from last Wed shipped 2 day prime, Canada post so it wont arrive until Thurs or Friday based on current tracking location.

I may apply for citizenship though in the spring if our tax refund is sufficient to cover the fees, the fees are really the only thing that has kept me from applying and based on current processing times posted, in theory wouldn't have to renew the PR card again.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Do German's make things complicated and confusing on purpose?
I needed a new heater for aquarium and they made this thing overly complicated with having to calibrate it, and just a pain in the rear end.
Looking online seems I am not alone in trying to figure out this thing to get it to work correctly.

Great tasting food, number 39:
When you have fried egg on toast and with each forkful you've had a bit of the white and a bit of toast, either dipped into the yolk or you use your knife to dip in and transfer to the toast.
Then you get to the highlight, the last bit, just the round egg yolk sitting on top the last bit of toast. It's enough to cut in two and you can do it without fear of the yolk running over the plate because you judged it so perfectly until now.
And you get to do that bit twice. Heavenly.
When you've not had it for ages, a dash of HP Fruity sauce on top is marvellous too.

I used to love 2 fried eggs with chips in Sainsbury's cafe. They did perfect eggs. Have you tried a pile of buttery, creamed mash with fried egg on the top?
Two portions are better than one.
