I have a nurse that comes to my house daily to provide services. Problem is, she doesn’t speak a word of English. So, when she wants to tell me something she calls her sister who speaks perfect English to translate. One day I asked her where her sister lived and she said “in Russia”! Her...

from Pularvik. we get the form every year. Our SS pensions are deposited in an account in Canada, but our mailing address is in the DR. Probably it’s the mailing address in the DR that triggered it, or maybe our account in Canada? My husband says that they just want to be sure we are not dead.

We get one of these every year. Not sure what triggers it but you must submit it. It comes with a return envelope. This is not a scam people!

The entire country of Bermuda is serviced by roof water collection. Tho by now I expect they might also have desalinization plants. However, the roofs are painted with a special non-toxic paint and there are very strict laws on how you must maintain your roof.

Brought in a frozen turkey, 3-4 years ago. Nobody said a thing..had to bring it as a carry on since it was to big for the suitcase. Short flight from Canada, it stayed frozen.

Chico Bill: re tower . We need it 3 meters higher than the roof. Do you think a pipe placed in concrete and braced to the wall would be adequate? I have purchased from Starlink an adapter that connects the dish to a pipe.

Got mine in November. Turns out the 2 story house next door and the avacado tree on the other side are semi blocking our reception. We have to raise the dish. Our speeds are in the 20-30 range. We are having a tower constructed to raise the dish 3 meters and it will be clear. my daughter...
