    Anyone else have an obsession with future postings?

    Nomij's post about rent around bases got me thinking.  My wife is obsessed with knowing at any given time what areas of a town/city we may be posted to is ideal for us.  She knows the approximate prices for the types of houses in the areas we would consider, and where the immediate amenities...

    Good for you for asking, even if you don't land in the places you have researched, the information may well come in handy in the future.  Ignore the jests, there is nothing wrong with being prepared.

    Spouse of deployed member, lives off base,doesn't drive & needs ride to use VLT?

    You do not know the specifics about my father, therefore I will forgive you for your ignorant comments about him.  The doctor he sees, one of the top two Parkinsons specialists in the country, is fully aware he has Parkinsons and is also fully aware he drives and has no issues with my father...

    Spouse of deployed member, lives off base,doesn't drive & needs ride to use VLT?

    I'm just telling you what my family experiences.  You'll find many doctors hesitate to pull a licence, at least that has been my experience and discussing it with my wifes doctor, seems common. Vern you are correct, if Annie has been told not to drive by her doctor, and I suspect this is not...

    Spouse of deployed member, lives off base,doesn't drive & needs ride to use VLT?

    I'm not  a medical specialist, but I feel sorry for this woman as my wife suffers from a condition (crohns) and although my wife has a drivers license, she knows when she can and can not drive.  There are other conditions like this, such as Parkinson's which my father has and he as well knows...

    Firstline Mortgage

    It surprised me when they referred to it as that; the only thing I can think of, and this is an assumption on my part, is that we took advantage of the 25K no interest thing and this would put us in this "military group mortgage" category. Since we're supposedly different (for whatever reason)...

    Woman physically assaults Pope at Christmas Eve mass!

    It appears the woman has mental health issues.  Hopefully she will get the help she needs, although it would be sad to have had something like this happen before she gets help.

    Having a tough go at this

    Anny I'm not sure what base you are at, but if you're at your wits end send emails so you have something in writing and stress how stressed out you are.  My wife had to get to the point she was afraid of herself because every morning our youngest would give her a hard time. My wife had a really...

    George Canyon Supports the Troops

    I can't stand most country music, but my wife and I have been to a few GC concerts and I was impressed.  Most of his songs I liked, albeit some are a bit sappy.  I also agree with the others that I don't think his support of the troops is a huge PR thing.  I liked his personal stories he shared...

    Petawawa Thread- Merged

    I've often wondered why so many people live in Q's and not purchase.  Is it because they like the convenience of living close to work?  Or is it because they can't quality for a mortgage?
