OK, time for me to correct myself (I know it's shocking when we realize that I have an imperfection), however, I was thinking incorrectly. When I used to buy gas in Canada it was an Imperial Gallon. The comparison was that the Imperial Gallon was the equivalent of 5 American quarts. The American Gallon, was then and is now, 4 quarts per gallon. Sorry, I guess I didn't help and I am so, so ashamed of myself. There are 3.7854118 litres in a gallon for comparison so if you paid 93 cents per litre that would be the same as $3.52 per gallon. (american)

You know so much more than I do about the Imperial Gallon.

That's because he was around when that system was developed

Somebody started a SW spoiler thread. I will use the force for good and stay away from it.

Sick...fever, headache, my whole body aches, my lungs feel like they are going through a meat grinder when I talk, which makes me cough, and I have no voice anyway. Guess I'm not singing in my concert tomorrow. I HATE it when I can't sing.

I think that rule now is also for parties which it wasn't before

Can someone post a link? I heard them say no masks for anyone over 14 but I didn't hear about no costumes at parties. This could very well be the case. I just haven't seen it with my eyeballs.

I will trust you as I have no idea off the top of my head. I guess that's not as bad.

So tempting isn't it?

Please tell me the father who did that got his kid disqualified, and that he got to pay for the medical bills!!

NO! to all of the above. If anything I could have gone after the park district as a patron's actions injured her by kicking the rock.

Actually the Dad likely didn't mean to cause harm, just kicked like a little kid. That outdoor pool (we were the visiting team) had rocks about the size of a giant gumball in their landscaping. Rocks tended to spill out onto the sidewalk frequently. Still he was a grown-up and you'd think he could curb the little boy in himself and not kick the freak'n rock. Most of us big people scootched them back where they belonged when we saw them. Our outdoor pool doesn't use rocks cause stupid tends to happen with rocks but they need little refreshing each year after snow. Our Park District and the Park District my kids worked at used bark which has different issues around a pool when there is a huge rain. No perfect solution.

I hope Walmart didn't charge extra shipping because they divided it up into so many packages!!! Where I work, we have to try to get it all into ONE package. Sometimes it's not possible, like if someone orders 10 pairs of shoes or 6 winter coats, but I don't think we've ever had to use more than 2 boxes for an order!!

Free shipping for orders over $50.

@Cesar R M were you able to straighten everything out? Sending prayers and pixie dust xoxo

yeah, we had a few calls.
the company edreams was the culprit.
There was a full change of flights (some number flights were moved , hours changed)
but they never alerted me in any form.

My mother called via phone very early today..and resolved the issue. It was a nightmare as her voice (the customer support's microphone) was failing and the words cutting up.

They supposedly were waiting for us to contact them. Got my new tickets and confirmation.
The hotel is still pending, but my boss claims the system says its booked. That the hotel staffwas an idiot.

I'm also waiting for the refund of the premiun seats of my older booking. since they are no longer valid.

 

[Cesar R M]

Sounds like a nightmare. Did you get it worked out?

definitively a nightmare. I couldnt sleep all nights.. my mind goes overdrive seeking solutions left and right.
so after the plane issue was resolved.. I went to nap and just woke up a few hours ago.

We pay by the litre so the whole gallon thing confuses me. I do know that gas usually seems much cheaper in the States, though. I think we have a lot more taxes added into our fuel costs.

its 15 pesos per litre.. thats around 1 USD per litre.
Note that a lot of the gas vendors, have rigged machines..so they usually give you 950ml and not the full thing.

 

[Cesar R M]

I assume they don't contact you because they assume that you are the one who canceled it?

Except I didnt cancel it at all, noone of us did.
The booking company did.

 

[Cesar R M]

Our jumped 25 cents up to $2.20

What the heck, in the morning the news was reported that day it was reported that a barrel of oil price had dropped to the lowest price in a decade. So they raised the price of gasoline. Yup.

technically, the gas cannot be that cheap.. since oil is one thing(extraction), producing and refining it is another process.

 

[Cesar R M]

Wow...you must have a HUGE selection there, because I miss the broad selection in the states. There's not much choice here.

same.. the US as plethora of flavors.. we usually have only like.. 2 or 3 brands of similar products at most.

 

[Cesar R M]

If it wasn't for the new Ratchet and Kingdom Hearts games they wouldn't be getting it either. Well that and the price my dh got on it

Envy ahoy. I definitively wont have money available for a PS4 for a few... lol
