    Get yourself an airmiles card. I have a Chase card with Southwest
    miles. I put everything on it. Electric, water, gas, car/house
    insurance, internet, phones, groceries, gas, amazon purchases. Pretty
    much everything except the mortgage. The card gets paid off so there's
    no interest charges.

    A round trip to San Diego from Dallas cost me $11.20 in total.

    Sing up there ;)

    We might do New York for my daughter's spring break, treat her to the Broadway cast of Hamilton.

    Robinhood Gold Card is 3% cash back for all purchases.

    Flying Southwest is basically choosing to treat yourself like garbage, nigel.

    She's got it. Or at least she's correct when people from my part of
    GTA say it. It's quite interesting how the regional accents developed.
    ie: If you speak to Nick and I at the same time, Nick sounds more
    "neutral" and I have the "Oshawa" accent which has longer o's and I
    think is slower.

    I do not sound anything like the Letterkenny chaps, that's more east then
    where I am from. We also don't use the slang. So it's a Toronto pattern
    with a accent.

    ... It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.

    Assuming my health improves to travel, I could find myself a way up

    Why anyone would get the 5 year is a mystery given whats involved in renewing.

    My takeaway on that tread was that you think Ward is cute.

    I don't want to talk about people who pay for Amazon Prime but rather what makes Ward so cute for you...

    HAHAHAHAHA... you need to go back and read through the thread, I think some things were added since your last read.

    Reader's Digest version...

    Ward toilet paper he could print Alex's messages on to wipe his ass.

    I suggested Amazon, Ward didn't like it.

    I then sent a link to a picture where someone hand-wrote messages on toilet paper to do what Ward wanted.

    Ward then asked me to do that for him.

    I suggested Alex might be better to do that.

    I did say that I might do it if he was good looking and I didn't need too many beers <---- Paraphrased

    He said YOU said he was cute. That's where we stand right now.

    I may have started a rumor that you give out Fido address in dark ally transactions...

    So what I'm saying is this... If Ward makes it to your party next year... be afraid... or happy... whatever.

    I think that covers it.

    Why anyone would get the 5 year is a mystery given whats involved in renewing.

    It's really expensive here but I didn't pay for mine. When I worded for Leclerc Foods, they got mine for me.

    A round trip to San Diego from Dallas cost me $11.20 in total.
    Flying Southwest is basically choosing to treat yourself like garbage, nigel.

    No, only you do that.

    Aren't you in Toronto or there abouts where the average snowfall in February is 9.4 inches?

    I moved out of Toronto in January to a suburbian-nothing town about a few hours west... it doesn't snow very much here.

    Towards Windsor?
