Thanks to everyone who replied with information about Canada. all replies have been most helpful:thumbsup2 However, I've decided to sign off the Disboards. I've received many flames and hateful pm's from other posters on other topics and decided I don't need the stress, its time to move...

We've been to WDW 5 times, the best trip by far was when we stayed at the Polynesian, which is on the monorail. Don't let anyone talk you into the Wilderness Lodge--yes, its somewhat cheaper, but a very inconvenient location. Yes, there's a boat ride to MK, but we just found the whole set up to...

No advice to give, but reminds me of something I did when I was about 4. My mother said the records didn't work because they were scratched. So I smeared them with Vaseline, thought it would help--after all, mom rubbed that stuff on my scratches! BTW, I don't think we managed to clean the...

Hey, Anne:thumbsup2 So you're up here in the Canadian board, too! Just how do you pronounce the 'Z'? Isn't life crazy? We're talking about a possible move to Canada, and you were giving me house-building tips for Florida!

Fortunately about 2/3 of our house is ceramic tile, so we won't have that much carpet to replace. The carpet is just in the bedrooms, grungy, needs replacing anyways. I don't think our cats go on the carpet, or I'd smell it. Perhaps its just the litter box, maybe need to get one of those...

Northstar gave a detailed explanation of how it works--there's an exclusion of a certain amount from US income taxes, look for his post.

Maybe I should stop cleaning with vinegar?

Good to mention the light fixtures--some of ours have dead bugs in them:scared:

On that show about how to sell your house (forget what its called), they recommended to someone selling their house that they board their cat for the open house day. Well, the house sold, they were able to get rid of any evidence of kitty, which is offensive to many, even if they have cats...

Many years ago when we bought our first home I do think smells had something to do with our decision. One house we looked at was just right in terms of location, price, floorplan, etc. But I hated the smell of the soap they used in the bathroom--think it was Irish Green, or something like...

I noticed many model homes have vanilla scented air freshners. Might give them a try. Also have to get rid of eau-de-cat-stuff. We have four cats, they have 2 litter boxes inside the garage, but also go outside. We scoop it every day, use baking soda, but friends say they can still smell...

We don't smoke, so that won't be a problem. We intend to do some painting, so maybe that will help. I agree, that sheetrock smell says "expensive". Here's another lttle trick--just spray some furniture polish in the air, makes it smell like you've been cleaning all day!:rotfl2...

We might be selling our home soon, just in limbo right now, so I'm trying to get it in shape. We enjoy looking at model homes, sort of a hobby. I love that smell new homes have, can't quite identify it, sort of like fresh paint and freshly sawed wood. Firstr impressions are important to a...

Do at least fill her in on how big WDW itself is, then let her decide for herself. I've found there's no telling some people. I had a friend who went to WDW for the first time a few years ago. She thought they would eat off site. I told her the parks are simply too big to leave, find a...

I truly appreciate everyone's replies. They all give food for thought, and every comment has been quite helpful. ******************8

I have a slightly different vent. People who almost brag about how little money they have. They say things like "well, we could never afford a vacation to WDW", or "must be nice to be able to afford a new tv", etc, "We certainly couldn't afford to eat at such restaurants". Almost seems like...

Ok, lets say you're looking at a job at a certain salary. How could you estimate how much your take home pay would be? Of course, deduct the social security taxes (about 7%, would have to look it up, just a guess right now), then federal, state, local income taxes. Of course, all the...
