screw holidays....buy your own island, it's cheaper.

Natureboy · 21st September 2007, 09:36 PM

Only thing it is bad for is guys selling equipment/manufacturing from Canada to the US.

Just like the finance minister said: The strong dollar is a reflection of our strong economy. Stop whinning and invest in new equipment for manufacturing (from the US) to attract more customers and grow your business.

Din · 21st September 2007, 09:37 PM

I agree...but do it NEXT WEEK...they estimate the dollar to climb over the USD and be at $1.03-$1.05.

As far as buying brand new cars, did you know that Canada will not let you import a brand new one? you have to purchase a used one. as far as how old, I don't remember. Something I learned when importing Robs blazer.

Rob · 21st September 2007, 10:09 PM

oops, sorry didn't know this was on Robs profile. Its Tammy

Din · 22nd September 2007, 11:28 AM

It was being reported on the news here that there are thousands of Canadians crossing the borders and bringing back brand new cars across the border when the dollar hit par. They were saying Buffalo was swarmed like bees on a chocolate covered butt..... You sure about that????

What's a loon? Looks like a duck to me.

SandiGirl · 23rd September 2007, 04:46 PM

Now maybe our lotion will go down too. And books and magazines. I think I'm dreaming though.

The loons (N.Am.) or divers (UK/Ireland) are a group of aquatic birds found in many parts of North America and northern Europe. A loon is the size of a large duck or small goose, which it somewhat resembles in shape when swimming.
The plumage is largely black-and-white, with grey on the head and neck in some species, and a white belly, and all species have a spear-shaped bill. All living species of loons are members of one genus (Gavia^[1] in a family (Gaviidae), and order (Gaviiformes) all of their own.
The European name "diver" comes from the bird's habit of catching fish by swimming calmly along the surface and then abruptly plunging into the water. The North American name loon comes from the bird's haunting, yodeling cry.

At least I can tell a dollar from a $20 or a $100. Yours looks all the same.

wasn't he a black butler....oh, no.....that was Benson.

They have a song about him too......"It's all about Benson, Baby..."

Natureboy · 24th September 2007, 04:05 PM

He he, just ordered $2000 worth of my Private label....at par!! What a deal compared to when it was 90 cents.

Beach Bum · 30th September 2007, 10:03 PM

saw where the loonie is now outpacing the US dollar! At this rate they will have to put 2 ducks on it! or at least one and a half!

Uvangel · 1st October 2007, 11:16 AM

Great!! Can't wait to go shopping in Nashville!!! One year I had to pay pay $1.48 can for $1 USD!!!!

He's the dude that discovered the power your beds run on. Just one of his many contributions to the world.

Din · 4th October 2007, 11:55 AM

That was invented by a Canadian......Benji just stole it from him.

Natureboy · 5th October 2007, 12:38 PM

It is at now about 101.5!!

Soon we will be buying beds for cheaper than list price in the US. Tanning salons in Canada for those that know actually might have more of a chance now.

Beach Bum · 5th October 2007, 02:10 PM

quack, quack

Natureboy · 5th October 2007, 02:47 PM

Sore losers. A duck is worth more than some clown with wooden teeth.
