I sometimes look at Cathy and go "you could fit the contents of that in a suitcase, right?" and she looks at me with a mild case of derision, as if I have dared to question her ninja packing abilities.<br /><br />So I'm just not sure why so many people use them when a standard piece of luggage works just as well most of the time.towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-46005037875175236752009-04-22T00:10:00.000-04:002009-04-22T00:10:00.000-04:00yep, we are one of those people with rubbermaid tu...yep, we are one of those people with rubbermaid tubs..lol we blame it on the kids!Aidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13554795865874702432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-4104649051584343092009-04-21T10:58:00.000-04:002009-04-21T10:58:00.000-04:00No, we didn't get the Touch, although we played wi...No, we didn't get the Touch, although we played with it for a bit to make sure it would be something we would use.<br /><br />And we both liked it, so we will end up getting one before heading to Australia. However, it is cheaper buying it online from Nunavut than getting it in Ottawa. Apple has free shipping, plus there's less tax.<br /><br />I know everything in Ottawa is cheaper to buy than in Iqaluit, but man, the sales tax of 13% really does get to you after awhile. I'm kind of spoiled in dealing with the 5% GST only up here.towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-87161068172642543832009-04-20T01:36:00.000-04:002009-04-20T01:36:00.000-04:00Recessions hit different areas differently.

Try visiting an area where the main employers are car factories, mining or financial servies - I expect Bay Street must be pretty glum these days.<br /><br />Recessions don't even hit all businesses the same way. Some are seeing a revival - like shoe repair...it almost died out in the boom years, now they can't keep up. Discount stores are doing okay...any business that helps people lower their cost of living will do fine.tanker bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09080888329110339975noreply@blogger.com
