If you looking very minimal payment you looking at 96 months + lol, but no body needs to know that.
You have to do the talking lol! I don’t want you to blame me if you can’t pay, but no worries. If you feeling pinched pay cheque to pay cheque just get over draft protection. Pay a going rate and you get overdraft protection usually the amount you get paid. So what if you run negative- you’ll be getting paid again anyway to move it to positive lol

So they -1000 by then they get paid 2 g lol- and the cycle continues

Not sure what he pays ( Royal Bank) maybe I never asked, that’s on top of monthly fee for overdraft.He’s not always negative since he gets a bi weekly pay cheque- sometimes 3 per month.

I think his other debts are slowly paid off so he should be good

Yes it is irresponsible: "People just like to live a lavish life" - irresponsible if you don't have the money for the lavish life. I suppose it's the individual's prerogative to piss away their money paying interest and fees but then they shouldn't complain about bank profits or look for taxpayer assistance later on when they can no longer work and income stops.

My buddy’s case it wasn’t so much irresponsible, just bad case of timing I guess.
- bad divorce, legal fees associated with that mess, car loan on a normal car, property taxes etc etc then looking for a place once divorce settled , death (family) costs with that all seem to occur in that time period.

He does have a decent secure job, been there for 15 yrs, he knows he paid interest etc but is actually grateful that overdraft was there- saved him many times ( he’s flying solo)
It took some time to float above water, car paid off , and other expenses too .so he’s actually saving now since there’s extra
This guy is pretty thrifty spender actually.

I'm looking at a new 4xd Sprinter as I've been unable to find a used one with the options I'm after.

Try going into a Mercedes dealer and not being offered a steaming mug of condescension.

On another note this will be the third vehicle I've bought new. In both previous cases I bought with the assistance of the APA (Automobile Protection Agency) new vehicle buying service. In both cases I showed the APA derived quote to local dealers and they were unable to match the price.

I have no idea why everyone doesn't go this route, saves thousands.

what function does a car salesman/person serve. I know more about the product than they do, every time. I'm not that smart.

That and super extravagant showrooms. I don't want to pay for fancy ass showrooms with my purchase.

Apart from prostitution, interacting with someone to barter or purchase is probably the oldest profession. It’s a good feeling when 2 people win and feel good about it.

I’m a sales consultant and while I don’t harp on creating the game old relationship thing, my goal is to make sure the product or service i offer to that person, walks away with no remorse and has made a good choice of parting with their hard earned money. I want nothing less for me as well.

Most important part to getting the very best deal possible, if you can't detach yourself from the warm n fuzzy feeling of how much you want the ride your standing in front of, chances are better vs not your normally smart / rationale self is going to have very little to do with the negotiation process and you'll pay too much and take too little for your trade. At that point, need someone there to do what you can't.

Big ticket items are very competitive, because of choice and the most informed ever generation, I beleive pricing may very well be at its fairest to the consumer. Everyone needs to make a living, if the dealer does not make sufficient margins he will lay off your neighbour who happens to be the maintenance person or technician.

Premier confirms changes coming to Ontario licence plates
“Yours to Discover” has been a fixture along the bottom of Ontario licence plates since 1982 but the province has confirmed that it’s about to change.
Premier Doug Ford said on Monday that Ontarians will have to wait until next week’s provincial budget to find out more details.
“I can’t comment until the budget, but we are going to make some changes there so I can’t divulge exactly what they said,” Ford said.
The phrase “Open For Business,” which adorns road signs near the border, is being considered for black and white commercial plates used by trucks and other industrial vehicles.
However, the blue and white passenger vehicle plates will carry a different motto.
Sources told The Toronto Star the PC campaign slogan “For the People” is not one of the options being considered.
The province is also reportedly looking at following the lead of Quebec and other American states by getting rid of the front bumper license plate.
The provincial budget will be announces on April 11.

I had forgotten. The quote became the joke, I had to look up what he was actually talking about.


As the U.S. and U.K.-led war to oust Saddam Hussein was looming in Iraq, Canada faced the question of whether to join, as it had in the Afghan mission. But proof of the threat posed by the dictator was elusive, and as the world now knows, fraudulent. Affecting his trademark insouciance, Mr. Chretien answered a reporter’s question about the standard of proof with a line that has since come to symbolize his governing style.

Yes in the city it is quite a bit more for some reason I would guess the 94/in Toronto would be more that 1.50 per litre or in that ball park depending g on where you are - in Brampton there's a couple of out of the way stations that are hard to access from all directions - those two are always cheaper by a large margin then other local stations - in Shelburne we are usually around 5 cents cheaper than caledon and Brampton - further north is even lower - I read in the past with BC's carbon tax everything north of Vancouver became very pricey even everyday items due to the carbon tax effect on shipping rates - as far as I can see its just bull shit if all the government can do is raise taxes there no point in having a government because any body can do that

About to go buy some 10W30 and an oil filter for the Mustang to get this thing ready for spring. Haven't done that in a couple years, feel like I forgot everything I knew about these cars.

-Do I still need 6 qts of oil?
-WTF is the filter PN again?
-How much blower fluid does this thing take?
-Is left still loose and right still tight or in this new PC world is it that left is sexually liberated and right is of strong virtuosity?

Big union backed protest at queens park.

Wonder where all these people where when the liberals were spending us into this mess that have made these cuts required.

They interviewed a teacher who complained that he works too hard and dosnt have time for lunch. He goes home tired at the end of the day.

I’ll remember that when he is off for two weeks at Christmas a week at March break and two months in the summer.

the house project I've done my best to avoid for the past 22 years begins Tuesday

living room/dining room

the decider was the large living room window (approx 9ft wide x 6ft high) that started clouding up last fall.....it's being replaced Tuesday....and then it starts

1) california shutters on living room, dining room and front hall windows
2) reface fireplace and add gas insert
3) replace 62 year old 2" hardwood with new wide plank hardwood
4) repaint pretty much the entire main floor
5) replace every stick of furniture

I guesstimate this is gonna drag on for about 6-8 months because this space is where we spend most of our time....figure it'll be a waiting game for the shutters....and fireplace.....but when it's time to do the floor then the pace ramps up

upside will no doubt be the part of the plan that involves replacing the 40" TV with a 75".....downside will be spending bucks on dining room stuff that I could care less about

"HOW DARE YOU TAKE AWAY OUR HARD EARNED OVERTIME, ALSO HOW DARE YOU ALLOW BUSINESS TO GIVE US MORE OVERTIME. IM NOT A SLAVE!'


also seeing the story that they are removing safety laws put in place to protect children in home daycares, played up as kids are going to die as a result. the reality is home daycares can now have one more child per adult.

then the story about the whole world becoming a toxic waste dump, becasue they removes all the rules about controling it. the reality is the federal governemt has set the standarsd and enforces the envitonmental laws, the porvincial program was a needless redundent program that didnt do anything but cost taxpayers money so by scrapping it LITTERLY NOTHING CHANGED!

I'm exactly the same way....but you're kicking your own ass if there's inflammation and you're not taking anti-inflammatory meds

with my recent oblique injury I had to take 600mg of advil 3-4 times per day for 4 days straight and it took weeks off the healing time.....

took the advise of my dentist who is apparently hardcore about pain management....mostly with hockey players

Reducing inflammation with meds allows blood to flow more freely through the injury and excelled healing... But also take it easy

Ever wonder where the term Bluetooth came from? I recently did a google search and found out...Everyone at work was like "Oh, that's so cool!" LOL...Enjoy.

For how innovative the technology, the name doesn’t sound techie. It’s not an acronym and doesn’t stand for anything. So what does it mean?

Surprisingly, the name dates back more than a millennia to King Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson who was well known for two things:
•Uniting Denmark and Norway in 958.
•His dead tooth, which was a dark blue/grey color, and earned him the nickname Bluetooth.

In 1996, three industry leaders, Intel, Ericsson, and Nokia, met to plan the standardization of this short-range radio technology to support connectivity and collaboration between different products and industries.

During this meeting, Jim Kardash from Intel suggested Bluetooth as a temporary code name. Kardash was later quoted as saying, "King Harald Bluetooth...was famous for uniting Scandinavia just as we intended to unite the PC and cellular industries with a short-range wireless link."

Bluetooth was only intended as a placeholder until marketing could come up with something really cool.

Later, when it came time to select a serious name, Bluetooth was to be replaced with either RadioWire or PAN (Personal Area Networking). PAN was the front runner, but an exhaustive search discovered it already had tens of thousands of hits throughout the internet.

A full trademark search on RadioWire couldn’t be completed in time for launch, making Bluetooth the only choice. The name caught on fast and before it could be changed, it spread throughout the industry, becoming synonymous with short-range wireless technology.

The Bluetooth logo is a bind rune merging the Younger Futhark runes (Hagall) (ᚼ) and (Bjarkan) (ᛒ), Harald's initials.

When the world is on its last leg, I will pull out a lawn chair, grab a beer and watch it all burn to hell.

Don't think that will happen for at least another 10 years....exactly when I retire!!!....just my luck, eh? Think I'll have a cold beer too and watch it all burn to hell...

Ontario Budget Highlights

For the first time, municipalities will be able to allow drinking in public spaces such as parks.

Bars and restaurants will be able to serve alcohol starting at 9 a.m., any day of the week.

All tax increases planned by the previous Wynne government on beer and wine have been cancelled.

love how leading up to the budget. the left was all "be prepared for HUGE cuts" they talked of health care and education being set back years due to enormous cuts, people were literally going to die from the cuts.

then the budget comes out and the headlines are, moderate cuts, and cuts not as drastic as expected,

and the left response has been " oh so the budget wont be balanced as soon as you said!"

I have a feeling they could have taken the liberal budget word for word and released it and the liberals would have complained about it.

I love how every political party says they’ll balance the budget in 5-6 years when their term is only 4 years lol.
I’ve perused thru some articles about the budget and am still waiting to get to the part where the Libs/NDP said my life would be ruined.

Where are you hanging out and what are you reading? I haven't seen anything that widespread or dire....other than the usual pockets you'd expect an opposing message from.
