My wife received this in a Canadian Living Email. 28 signs you're camping in Canada http://www.canadianliving.com/img/photos/biz/resized/620x413/620x413_camp-35851400166180.jpg You know you're camping in Canada when… 
1. …You wear a toque at breakfast.
 2. …After it rains heavily for two consecutive days, you bundle the kids into the car and drive to the nearest Hudson's Bay store.
 3. …You don't even flinch when you step on moose droppings.
 4. …Most of your camping gear is wrapped in Canadian Tire bags.
 5. …The car-ride snacks of choice are a box (or two) of Timbits and a few double-doubles.
 6. …The lining of your sleeping bag matches your mom's favourite camping shirt and the tablecloth on your picnic table: red plaid. 
 7. …In the quiet of the night, the youngest member of your family pipes up and asks, "Dad, can people really have sex in a canoe?"
 8. …After the kids are asleep, you really do have sex in a canoe.
 9. …At least one camper at your site knows the lyrics to at least five Anne Murray songs by heart.
 10. …The expression "Look out, deer!" isn't a term of endearment but rather a warning of four-legged creatures invading the campsite.
 11. …After five days of burgers and beans, you find yourself saying, "Man, I really wish we could have some poutine." 12. …You wake up at 3 a.m., hop in the car and drive four hours to get poutine. 13. …Drinking lukewarm white wine isn't considered a breach of etiquette. 14. …Late-night conversation becomes deeply profound: "I just don't get why they shut down the Shania Twain museum. Makes you wonder what the world is coming to." 15. …You run out of toothpaste and chew cedar as a form of oral hygiene. 16. …You mistakenly step on a bear's paw while hiking and say, "Sorry."

 17. …The bear responds, "Oh, nonsense. I'm the sorry one. It's my fault. Pardon me. Yup." 18. …You're awakened early every morning by a camp warden who knows every word to Sharon, Lois & Bram's famous song, "Skinnamarink." 19. …At least one member of your camping party is named Doug or Bob. 20. …Confusion ensues because five campsites are registered under the names "Doug and Bob." 21. …You turn to Kraft Dinner as your back-up food source when you run out of fresh grub. 22. …Grandpa says he's got a mickey in the trunk of the car and the kids are disappointed to learn it isn't the Disney mouse. 23. …Wearing grey tube socks with Birkenstocks is considered OK—until the day you head home. Then it's forbidden. 24. …You converse politely throughout your trip until someone innocently inquires, "So tell me, why did Céline Dion move to the U.S.?" 25. …Your favourite reading material is the American licence plates in the parking lot. 26. …At least half of all campers at your site are wearing hockey jerseys. 27. …You notice two campers—one wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs baseball cap, one wearing a Montreal Canadiens baseball cap—meeting on a hiking trail. No words are spoken. 28. …You see numerous pairs of long johns hanging on makeshift clotheslines because, folks, YOU'RE CAMPING IN CANADA!

Well I know that there are some MOMS on the forum!!!!! And my shout was for ALL MOTHERS no matter who's mother they are!!!!

If you must know a Canadian sent you a check from Canada!!!

Hey cowpuc you and I must be the only one who had/have mothers!! Like your poem!!!!

Happy Mothers Day !!!!!!!!

Wayne sorry to hear about the accident!! Have you figured out what the total damage is??

I think ALL us members who live up here in the snow should pool ALL our retirement money together and buy one of them big o'l souther plantations houses and move. I'm sure the better havles wouldn't have a problem with doing ALL the cooking, cleaning and yard work while us good o'l boys go riding nad important stuff like that!!!

I dont think!! Just ask my wife!!!!!!!

It's not about the venture it's about the people here! But I must admit I have noticed that when I first joined not all that long ago there would always be around 100+ members just in the watering hole at any given time now it seems to have dropped to about 30-40 at any given time. I hope this is not a sign of things to come!!!!

Furst of all it doesn't matter how long your nose hair is IF you have a MUSTACHE since a mustache can hide the nose hair. Same goes for ear hair, as long as you have bushy side burns and/or long hair. Now the eye brows should NEVER be touched!! Bushy eyebrows are a sign of distinction!!!

Well after much deliberation and soul searching I'm going to pass on the Suzuki, sigh.:stickpoke:Nice bike but not right now.

I am seriously thinking about it!!! I have the cash!! I'll give the guy call to see if he still has it. Then I'll go have a look at it. he's only an hour away. And the picture is of the actual bike for sale. And he says that's certified!!

This thread is worthless with out a PIZZA!!!!

OK What can you guys tell me about this bike!! 2001 SUZUKI INTRUDER LC 1500cc 63935 klm $2995. Owner is selling due to health issues. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDUwWDYwMA==/z/zvkAAOSwBLlVHLcl/$_35.JPG

Do you have a heath insurance plan from work?? Also check your provincial health coverage. One of them should cover it.

Well at least it's sunny!!!

Ebay calls it the "Global Shipping Program" they charge duties on EVERYTHING including reading material which is duty free. They claim to have International tracking but that needs to be tacken with a grain of salt. I see one seller who is using the "Global Shipping Program" now saying that packages may be damaged during shipping. Pitney Bowes is the agent who handles all the programs international shipping they inturn use third party service providers. This is from Ebay " The Global Shipping Program makes it easier for buyers in some countries outside the US and UK to purchase items from these sellers. The US or UK seller ships the item to a local global shipping provider, and the global shipping provider ships the item to you." [h=3]Shipping[/h] After receiving your payment, the seller ships your item to a local US or UK shipping center. International shipping experts at the shipping center process the package, complete customs forms, pay applicable import charges, and ship the package to the address that you specified at the time of purchase. Items that ship through the Global Shipping Program generally arrive within one week of departing the US or UK shipping center.

Well I contacted the Ebay seller because I could only track the item so far. What he told me was that when he uses the "SYSTEM" he sends it to the Ebay shipping facility and Ebay or its agent takes care of it from there and forwards it to the international buyer. And there is no tracking once it gets to the Ebay facility. AND it takes forever to get your package!!!

If they are using the Ebay shipping system then there's no way to track the item. I will not buy anything from any seller who uses the Ebay system. First they charge customs and duties fees on items that are duty free. Also I purchased one item from a seller who uses the Ebay shipping system and the package was totally destroyed!!!
