I think the main difference is the way real estate transactions have changed in the recent past. Selling a car...you don't get three buyers in front of you at the same time, unless at auction. And if you accepted the $5K offer, you'd likely stick to the deal, even if the $6200 one came in...

Wouldn't be the first property I bought using that tactic. Offer + Acceptance. Works both ways.

This. Unfortunately for the last 30+ years the pathways laid out for young adults have been built by those who often have no "real world" experience. Going from high school, to Uni, to Teachers College and entering the workforce as a teacher, with no degree of mastery in life skills. Gone are...

Being the "grey man", literally....

Sorry, can someone enlighten me as to what benefit the camo pattern has in a maritime environment? Are you supposed to blend in with the bulkhead of the destroyer / frigate you're on?

Actually. The LA model ( and indeed other similar cities) works quite well from a representation standpoint. A councillor is the one that actually attends the meetings where things are tabled and voted on. However, they aren't always the ones dealing with the faces. There are a number of...

This is the crux of much of this debate. It's not necessarily the amount of bodies......it's what they effectively do. Several smaller municipalities cited in earlier posts actually have part time councillors. ( Not every municipal councillor job is a full time gig). Several municipalities...

Currently going through the PRes Re-Enrollment process here in Ottawa. Fit test went fine, medical was fine except elevated blood pressure (141/86). Which wouldn't come down after 5 mins of quiet resting. Now I've always been classes as pre-hypertensive, but never an issue ( I'm 45). This was...

Given the fact that many are being housed in college dorms, with the clock ticking, and no real alternative identified as to what happens in a few weeks when students are going to want the room they paid for, I'd say that assertion has merit.

Correct. Much of the housing issue in Toronto was created by his father in the early 70s....

Just general interest, thought it was neat. http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/462850/Amazing-pictures-of-hidden-Soviet-tank-graveyard-in-Ukraine-taken-by-plucky-teenager

I'm more surprised that a potential member is looking at joining, and his first concern is who will take care of his pets? Hmmm....let me see if I recall that one. "Yeah, I was going to join the army, but you know....no one would have looked after my animals, so I basically said "no...

I was just going to suggest you put them all in the same room.....it would eventually sort itself out....

Since I've been on here for a few years, and just saw this thread, I thought I'd chime in. Harris Lodge #216 here. aequitas, funny thing about the Lodge, I discussed with someone at length before. They had it suggested that in years gone by, the lodge essentially ran the major police forces...

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/armed-forces-considers-incentives-to-keep-soldiers-fit-1.2602857 "Most soldiers are passing new fitness test, but military wants them to strive for higher standards" Interesting read. Funny how getting the level that gave you a pass for two years was said to be...

Boots to a new Private are very important, regardless of shortcomings within the supply chain. You will also soon be on courses out in the field where you will not only need those boots, but will also need a change.... Let me assume that you have been parading thus far in your wet weather...

...beat me to it.

That might explain why the guy was lousy at accounting.

Someone I was speaking with asked where he could apply for a job like that. I asked him if he saw who he had to sleep with the get the job........ ......There just isn't enough alcohol or therapy to reconcile that image in a damaged brain.
