My wife and I had 2 retired racing greyhounds. Man I loved those dogs, especially our female, Dainty. I still miss her 4 years later. After losing her I wanted a break from dogs for a while. Then we heard about a beagle/springer spaniel mix that needed a home. She was hit by a truck and lying on the side of the road, pregnant with 5 pups somewhere in Kentucky or Tennessee (we can't remember). The pups survived and our Pep (Peppermint Patty) had hip surgery before she was fostered up here in Ontario. Then of course she needed a friend. We rescued a Malamute/Sheppard/Collie (the best guess from our vet) from Fort Severn, Ontario. That's as far north as you can go in Ontario before hitting Hudson Bay. Anyone who watches Ice Road Truckers may know of Fort Severn. The newest season I watched was between Winnipeg and Fort Severn. I always thought we'd be greyhound people but we're rescuers. Don't be fooled by the second picture. What looks like a hunter stalking its prey, it's really a smart beagle luring the big dummy in. When Poker (the bigger black dog) tries to pounce, Pep (the beagle) turns and swats his sorry ass. ;D Edit: Sorry, I can't for the life of me turn the first pic.

Amen to that. I think people want his letters so badly because they aren't supposed to have them.

Could there possibly be anything in there we already don't know?

I heard a radio show talking about that. He is taking French lessons. It was probably a smart decision for the time being to avoid that situation. He'll take a beating eventually like Harper did at first.

;D It's all good. I wasn't insulted, I was just struck with the irony because I knew when I saw your screen name what it meant.

The endless list of useless Marty inspired acronyms? Or worse is the explanation of the acronym every time he uses is.

While I understand I'm not directly answering your question. I would go and check out the archives here around that time. Judging by the timeline, the board migrated from MSN in February 2009 so the timing was perfect. ;D

That is awesome, congratulations. Good luck with the tax assessment.

Trumps working on it...........

According to this article, it's a loss leader. http://www.cbsnews.com/media/12-things-about-costco-that-may-surprise-you/8/

And gas! In Canada I pay about 18 cents per litter (72 cents per gallon) less at Costco than at a gas station :) You buy litter at a gas station? :P The one I go to in Newmarket (Ontario), is 5c a litre cheaper than the Petro Can across the street. I've never seen 18c here. That would make waiting at the pump for the 5-6 cars ahead of me worth it. I won't wait for 5c.

Ah, I forgot about referer control. I had that at one point.............not sure why I got rid of it.

It still works for me but the odd time it doesn't. If that happens when I click on the Google link, instead of clicking normally I right click and open in a private window (Firefox) or Incognito (Chrome). That usually works.

Someone needs to post a Buffett quote here about businesses profitability based on an underlying commodity. Actually I'm surprised nobody has yet. You guys are slipping......

And Drake.

Take off eh! Ya hoser.....

Foreigners may not realize watching hockey isn't a prereq to live in Canada either. I don't watch it and I don't watch either of the NFL or the CFL. But I do love NCAA football.

I predict you're wrong. Bieber is Canadian. But whatever. Us Canadians are just glad he moved to the US. He's your problem now. Make with him what you wish. Sure but that won't matter after the U.S. and Canada merger in 2038. A joke I hope... or I will be getting my guns out. You can come to the UK - with any luck it will be one of the most open countries in the world by then, *and* we have socialised medicine ;) I'm in as long as I'm not expected to watch that drama you call football. :P Oh God. Worst sport ever. At least we have rugby. (We do however have language on our side, given that the word football does imply that the game is primarily played with the feet ;) ) I can get into rugby. I've always been on the side of soccer being called football because it's just logical. We also agree on the proper spelling of words with "ou" like flavour, colour etc. And the last letter of the English language is "zed" not "zee". ;) You know, I'm starting to like this partnership already.

I love that some people around the world think Bieber is American. ;D You guys know Drake is also American, right? Edit: to clarify, it's not a knock on the U.S. I just love that people don't know he's Canadian.

Oil sands.

He runs his business with the utmost ethics, befriend Guy Spier for similar reasons, idolizes Buffett and Munger for those same reasons but now supports someone who is racist, sexist and is known to use the most underhanded business practices,(so much so that no U.S. financial institution will lend he or his organizations a dime) for his own personal gain to run the country he lives?! Two weeks ago Pabrai said airlines are good businesses and they're cheap in response to someone tweeting to him about Berkshire's buys. Is he feeling OK?
