Happy to hear you solved your problems or at least figured them out. I haven't seem my machine much lately. Mayla took a turn for the worse, she'll be getting out of the hospital tomorrow. It has been a crazy few days. By the way, I'm gonna be a daddy.…
I have to admit that I am a little worried about our election. The choices we have are not that great, now that Campbell is running for PC Leader it will help the party. So with the lack of leadership in the other parties the PC's might win again. Kb
#Really, What's Nautilus

I haven't read the book right through as of yet. But I took it down to the Philippines with me and read some on the plane. So far I have been impressed with it and it has explained some things that I was a little fuzzy on. I received excellent…

When I run out of sugar I usually have some kind of substitute available. Brown sugar or honey works great, the only thing that I am a real stickler for is the canned milk. Bottled milk I find waters the coffee down too much and the powered creamers make me…
You pay more taxes and by the sounds of the paper it is getting a little tense over there. I know it is a beautiful country but I don't know if it was a great choice Adrian. Kb
I had Vietnamese coffee one time. You get a water glass with about an inch of coffee in the bottom, they put ice in then top it off with cream. I walked out of the restaurant with glassy eyes. It was a pretty good drink, though one you treated with…
They only problem is we don't find out about the bad until they are in power. By the time we get them out of power the damage is done, that is the hardest part to deal with. Kb
That seems to happen to quite a few people. I worked with one guy who quit and was dead six years later of lung cancer. Sometimes it just too late. I'm happy to hear that you wouldn't discriminate against a smoker. We sometimes feel the world is against us, it's…
Germany. So you escaped the taxes eh? I hear that England is even worse then Canada when it comes to taxes. Germany would be a great place to live. The only thing I worry about is history repeating itself. Kb
I never heard of them making smoking child abuse but I guess that doesn't suprise me. These are the same people who will sacrifice a human life to save an animal. They are a very twisted group of people. Kb
It's funny how they will defend what they spend on themselves. But they are sure quick to cut programs that benefit the common man. Kb
I don't recall passing that law Lynne, but I find that they pass a lot of laws without asking my consent. Someday when I have a few hours I'll tell you what I think of Brian's GST. Kb
I find that everyone is quick to point out other people problems. I guess it makes them feel better when they can point a finger at someone else. I also like coffee, that was the first thing I taught Mayla when we got back to Canada. Down there all they…
You tell them Adrian, we're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore. By the way Adrian by the sounds of previous messages I've read you are in the UK. Its nice to see you are still willing to talk to us colonials. Kb
You're telling me? Everywhere you look you see or hear something about smoking. Like I said before soon the home will be the only place we will be able to smoke. Kb
It is unbelievable that people can live in those condition. It is a sad experience to drive through a city like that. To see little children living in those conditions tears the heart out. The government has ignored the problem for so long they will never be able to clean…
Well to tell you the honest truth Jack kicking wasn't exactly what I had in mind. I can't see anything good that he has done. Time magazine had a short story on him and it was so off the mark it mad me sick. Kb
Yes things could always be worse. But they could also be a hell of alot better. I know there isn't much we can do about it but it still chokes me up how they play the system. Kb
It is amazing to me that the population can get that large in cities like that. You would think that people would be dying off faster then they were moving in. I know myself I couldn't live in a place like that. Fort McMurray is bad enough with the garbage…
That commerical sounds great. Our Preimer went to France spent a bundle and wouldn't even tell us what he did there. All he said that it was government business. Government business that included his family and friends. But unfortunatly the slimebag retired before the election came up. Now the dirtbag…
I realize the reason for the taxes on the cigarettes is to get me to quit. But I don't want to quit so I shouldn't have to pay the tax. The money that has been wasted by the PC government here in Alberta is a crime. They invested into companies…
No Lynne I don't think I'll try your neighbors method of quitting, sounds a little extreme for me. Whenever I am out with non-smokers I always ask if it is okay to smoke. If I am at their house I don't even ask, it doesn't bother me to go without…
I think they all attended the same school SLIME-U. Kb
Thanks for the quick reply Ron. I guess when you are on the cutting edge of technology you have to expect a few nicks. Lets hope that they correct this problem sometime in the near future. But until then I guess I will have to plod along. Kb
I believe you about major cities. The amount of pollution is unreal. When I was in Manila I couldn't believe the pollution, they are just trying now to combat it. I don't think while I was in the city I saw one vehicle not blowing black exhaust. People were walking…
I would be satisfied if when they travelled they stayed in normal hotels and ate normal food. To have a 140 thousand tab for a six day jaunt to Europe is way out of line. I should have stayed in school and became a politician, but then again I can't…
I've gotten a few deals from my native friends from time to time. But they are limited in the amount of cigarettes they can buy at one time. As to moving closer to a reserve well I enjoy smoking but not enough to give up my job to buy cheap…
I think that is the way everything should be handled. I don't like people who get a great deal on something, then turn around a make money on it by selling it to other people. I had some furniture given to me and when I met someone who needed furniture…
They don't want us to make our own decisions. They are afraid that if we do then we might discover that we can do it better then them. I find that most of our leaders here in Canada all have that look in their eyes. You know, you look in…
I don't know about you but I find Nutrasweet tastes awful. I can't drink or eat anything that has Nutrasweet in it. They say that it taste just like sugar but it don't taste like the sugar I use. I don't know about the States but here in Canada they…
But the thing is smoking isn't the only cause of cancer. I find that the way they do things is way out to lunch. They always use scare tactics whenever they want us to do something. Usually when someone moves here to Fort McMurray they are sick for the first…

Message #41454
Ron, I am the happy owner of a copy of MM Madness. I read your review on the Cardinal SNAPplus and noticed you didn't mention having any problems involving the 32k driver. I receive a GPF when I try to work with any aspect of Multimedia when my drivers are…
Adrian, I know what you mean. My sick days are next to nothing. My last trip to the doctors was to get my shots for the first trip down to the Philippines. But they still say that we are the ones that are dragging down the health care system. About…
I'm happy that you are finding it useful. The only catch to the deal is if you find that you do not want it anymore. Then pass it along the same way as you got it free of charge. Although with Jack helping customize it you will be keeping it…
Everybody wants something. We'll keep them happy and pop in a comment now and again. They should know better then to think that we are going to behave. Kb
Jack I don't mean to snub your conversations but I have a flight to catch in two hours and still a few things to do. You get as long winded as Paul does. We'll continue this on my return. Kb
I have no problem listening to the CD tracks while in Nautilus. Now with the help of friends I figured out how to use the Media Player also. Kb
Thats where I got it. I knew it came from somewhere just couldn't remember where. Kb
Catch ya later
Message #37766
Well this is it. I am off to get my better half and a tan. I'll be back online on Feb. 6th and am looking forward to telling my adventures. So you all take care and save some of the juicy stuff for me. Kb
Thanks Dave I think I will look into VB when I get back. Kb
Thats news to me. My upgrade kit was installed before I got the system, I've had to go inside a couple of times. But it didn't have anything to do with the SB so I never even paid attention to it. I think my next setup will be different, once…
When I get back I'll run you off a copy and send it down. You gotta promise to drive it through Hollywood though. That way I can tell everyone my wedding video made it to Hollywood. I thought the package that came with CL upgrade pretty good also. The first…
With the Media Player I used Vol 2-12, I picked CD audio from the device menu then tracks. It gave me four tracks the last three being the christmas carols. As to the commission I'm watching the mail for the check. Ya got postcard coming too. Kb
With my CL upgrade kit I have been very happy. It has performed well with no problems to talk of. But I have heard quite a few stories now on other forums that made me hesitant to recommend it. Tomorrow morning I'm on the big bird heading for warm weather.…
Way to go Peter, welcome to the family. Hey I should be getting a commission out of this! Kb
I pass that on to you Margo or Steve. I know it is available in the UK but I don't know how to go about it. The Nautilus support will jump in and give you the information you need. Kb
I have noticed the problem in a few other forums also. I think it might be a CI$ problem also. Kb
Yea and I saw the aftermath. Very messy. Kb
Ed I noticed you have a real stutter. I seem to get two copies of each of your messages. Not that I mind being you're such a interesting fella to listen to. Kb
No problem Lynne. If you want it it's yours. It's a nice ceremony and a big wedding (it sure suprised me). I had no involvment in the planning of the wedding (relief) being up here. So I just sent the money down thinking at the time that I was being…
