Agreed. I use orbitz expedia etc to find out who flies a route then i buy tickets from the airline. I don't see any savings on the aggregators and i want someone - an airline - to own it if something goes wrong, as it has on my last few trips.
Re:Canadians Adopted Refugee Families for a Year, Then Came ‘Month 13’

I'm on the board of a Canadian refugee resettlement group. On Vancouver Island. We just received notification that our sponsored family, who fled Mosul, will be arriving this summer. We're well aware of the 13th month issue but we are working to ensure that they will be on their feet by that time. It's a risky endeavor, we have been well trained to prepare for as many eventualities as we can, and I think we are going into it with open eyes. It just seems the right thing to do and i am pleased Canada allows private sponsors. Of yeah, my mom was a refugee from communist Chinaand her parents were refugees from Russia. I figure i gotta pay it forward.

I don't see the appeal of airb&b. I don't want strangers in my home when i am not there to monitor my stuff. That's crazy. And i keep horror stories like this, just read one about a trashed apt in toronto. And i travel a lot and when i do i go through established agencies for rentals. I'm in Bali now, got a great house for a good price through traipadvisor.

I have a vague recollection of an incident, years ago, whereby Adobe installed Macafee whenever you installed a flash update. There was a little checkbox to control this, but it was checked by default. Pissed me off, i had get macafee off my computer pronto as it didn't get along with the anti virus i had already installed.

I tend to suspect that guys who are really really really preoccupied by their hate for gays are usually closeted self-hating gays. Which makes me wonder why this guy is so preoccupied with pedophilia.
