Yes. Since we have paid for a trip, he gets to come home before we leave. I am hoping he can get here a few days before. Thank you Figgy!!

Now let's just hope he gets home extra soon

Spoiler: don't say I didn't warn you

Heres some of Vancouver ( from Stanlkey Park, overlooking the Prospect's Peak.. where the old signal tower for ships was, from before the bridge was built)

Looking at West Vancouver.

You can configure them to update at certain times. I usually set them between 4:00 am and 9:00 am.. or update manually when im going to bed.

You can when you're the one that's on when the message pops up. Somebody in my house isn't considerate

I've never even bought one. Please somebody tell me I'm not alone

I've never bought a rotisserie chicken, although they do look good when I see them at the grocery store deli. I have bought fried chicken from the grocery store deli though.

Now! thats proper preparation!

I was impressed and in awe. Before Mathew it had been a very long while before a hurricane impacted Florida and Disney missed the mark on many levels with Mathew. A few months later with Irma the had a very detailed punch list and you couldn’t help but be impressed with Disney (although there are always a few)

Me being a YouTuber (with a little over 100 subs), I need advice for editing softwares that are free and easy to use (I currently use movie maker). Could anyone help me?

Eeeh, it was ok when I took the pictures.. around 18-20C.

Problem was when it rained, as temps went down to 8-12C and lower with winds.
The ferry from Victoria to Vancouver and north vancouver during night were the coldest.. 5C to 10C (or less thanks to rain and wind).





Also went to Capilano Suspension Bridge. Which is a pretty long classic metal, wood and ropes bridge between 2 canyons and no additional supports.
Which has some nifty totems.


And the bridge..


Another angle..

Oh my that is quite a bridge. I don't think I would be able to go on that! Looks very scenic though.

Davinci Resolve is free and is one of the most complete tools you can get for free.
But it can be challenging at first. But its slowly becoming the video standard editing for the industry.

I usually use Magix (formerly SONY ) Vegas myself, but that thing is paid.

Its not that bad, it shakes a bit when people are jerks. Hilariously.. it moves less in the center than in the right side (of the photos), or of the mountain side.

 

[MinnieM123]

Ugh, no!!!!! Would rather have this.

That's o.k. for a few days out of a year. Rest of the year can be winter though!

Hey gang. Do we have anyone here who is knowledgeable about the rules of jury duty pools? I just served in February of 2017 and when I was dismissed they gave me a proof of service form and it says "retain for four years".

A few weeks ago, I got something in the mail notifying me that I had to send back a form registering for service. I thought it was a mistake but I sent the form back to them along with my proof of recent service.

TODAY, I get a notification in the mail that I've been chosen to be on call for service starting October 22. Huh?????

To add insult to injury, the courthouse they want me to report to is all the way in the middle of Long Island, over an hour from my apartment by train.

Does anyone know if this might have been an error? If I just served in 2017, why would I have to do it again in 2018?

Naturally, there is no number to call on the form.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

 

[MinnieM123]

Wait? What? You eat black walnuts?

Don't you like walnuts? They're also good in muffins, on top of some pies, etc. The ones I've had look more brown to me, though, not black.

 

[MinnieM123]

You've never bought rotisserie chicken from the supermarket? You're missing out, big time! Try one this week when you go to the store -- I bet your boys would love it, too!!

Sympathy like. What court got you this time?

You do know there are different types of walnuts don't you with way different flavors

Can they guarantee they are gluten free? My boys like roast chicken with all the fixings and fixings keeps me from having to buy multiple birds

No pizza place delivers near me... it's either grocery store or go to the pizza place...and the grocery store is cheaper.

Wait a second -- no pizza place near you delivers?? That's tragic. I can easily think of 5 in my area that do, and I don't even live in the larger cities around me.
