Yes, if you use them twice a day, they generally last a year or so. Are they worth it? I think so for my teeth. My gums are much healthier, way less plaque and my dental cleaning is less painful. That is worth buying a new one every year or so. I put some vinegar through the lines once per...

Wow, I am amazed at how many people stayed with the same employer. As a software developer, it is well known/understood that if you want to advance your career you MUST change employers. If you stay with the same company they tend to leave you in the same job as you can easily become the only...

Things I have learned. DW and I are spending 25 days in the US, so I decided to do a comparison. I bought an esim online (Airalo) and DW bought a T-Mobile sim card. 1) esim was a bit of a pain to install. At home it was prompting me to turn off my regular sim card. I didn't want to do this as...

Thanks everyone for the information, I have an unlocked pixel 6. So my understanding is: 1) my regular sim will work as normal and if I don't get extra travel coverage, I would be charged extra if someone calls that number. 2) An esim allows me to get set up quickly by already having it ahead of...

Just heard about this capability with newer phones. Are they worth it. We are heading to Europe for a few months, I was planning to move our phone numbers to ooma for that time and get regular European sims for data and WhatsApp for texting. This e-sim may or may not be worth it. A) If...

I love mine I've had my natural gas grill for years. I can get sucker up to 800 degrees if I wanted to. No problem with heat. I haven't noticed any difference with flavor. The best thing is never worrying about empty tanks. Family over at the last minute? No problem! BBQ is ready and...

Real bike. It's the easiest to sell.

So far I have found a few different web sites dealing with Short Term leases: https://www.renaultcanada.com/ https://www.autoeurope.ca/short-term-car-lease-europe/ https://eurocartt.com/about-the-short-term-leasing...

I get orders from DW all the time. Does that count?

Not sure why the Italian government is so strict, but it seems very strict. If you don't have residence you may not own a vehicle in Italy. I found one law firm web site that mentions "domiciled in Italy with Italian citizenship" vs "a Resident of Italy without Italian citizenship" I emailed...

So, I've been researching.... 1) My Italian citizenship does not help me at all with vehicles. I must have residency in Italy. There is a residency permit I would have to apply for which would then affect taxes, etc. I don't want that. 2) Even if I were get access to a vehicle(Borrow a family...

SO, not sure if anybody is just like me, but I thought I would ask the question. I have dual citizenship. (Canada/Italy) I reside in Canada. I am doing an extended stay in Italy. (8 months) And will be going back every year for 4-6 months if all goes according to plan for the next 5 years or...

Definitely as one ages repetitive motion is more likely to cause pain and injury. My solution is to change up my exercise. Personally, I believe you should not minimize your stretching. Potentially your aches and pains are due to a lack of water intake during and after exercise? I don't...

Living without children I am the youngest of 4 children. DW and I do not have kids. When we set up our will it was based on who we enjoy spending time with, not blood relatives. I have heard the following statement from my BIL twice now. He has suggested to his kids to "suck up" to us so...

Sigh, As a Canadian, I wish to make you all feel better by stating in my city the current price is $2.31 CDN per liter. Approx: $9.24CDN Per gallon. So you should be able to feel my tears. DW and I went shopping for an electric car the other day. There is a 2 year waiting list. It feels a bit...
