I wanna be his friend, but he's prejudiced against Canucks. ;]

I actually understand what you're saying, but I'm trying to make the point that, in my view, it shouldn't be looked at like that. It shouldn't matter that a husband and wife are the workers as opposed to strangers. If a business, in order to be successful and profitable, requires a truck...

I'm just confused becuz if you look at it as a business, there are in fact three entities, the truck owner, the driver, and the driver. Just because a driver might also be the truck owner, should that mean the owner should make less than a fleet owner on that part of the equation? If there are 2...

I'm not getting what diff it makes whether codrivers are married/same-household or not. Should one spouse not aspire to make the same amount as the other spouse? If both spouses want to work, shouldn't the potential income of holding a different job be weighed against driving with spouse? Unless...

Do you guys over there have the option to do your returns online? Over here, we can do them online, and even file them online if we want to. If you have that option, you could try going on one of those sites and going through the exercise yourself, answering all the questions it asks you, and...

Try a 'mortgage broker', they will know of any resources who might cater more to 'self employed'. They might also have some other ideas. Sometimes they also know of personal investors looking to do mortgage lending (provided you have a large down payment?) The claiming of deductions to net a...

Heard something on the news yest about ILO says global financial crisis to increase unemployment by 20 million [Press releases] and then I read this post.. and then I thought about things that were part of the course of my day in dealing with employees of other companies.. and I thought...

If the 2 major parties were going to be equal in their end result once in power, then one could risk their precious one vote on the 3rd party, knowing it may give credibility to the 3rd party, which they really wanted, and knowing it wouldn't matter which of the 2 majors ended up winning. But...

Congrats Piper! Thanks for the pic!

I was going to ask the same thing, but I felt I better lay off. 3 weeks on and 1 week off = 75% availability, correct? So if you've been totally 'on' for 4.5 months, how do you only rate a 80+%?

Me angry? Nope. You seem to me to be argumentative and unwilling to accept an answer you were given by the powers that be. Kinda like one of those dogs who nips at your ankle and won't let go. A thread was locked, and yet you have brought the issues up again. Why? Because you don't like the...

I'm saying you can discuss the rules til the cows come home and it isn't going to matter, you don't own the site. I'm saying, you've stated your point, you're not going to get your way, deal with it. I'm saying, call it racist if you like, but there are many prejudices here and everywhere...

I remmmmmember whennnnnnnnnn.. (hear my creaky old voice?).. Many many years ago, when I first started playing on the internet.. it was all new to me.. and I didn't know how things worked.. and I was much younger then, and I kinda had somewhat of an attitude :eek: .. and I was having loads of...

My uncle used to have a newfie dog.. obviously it was an outdoor dog.. I sure wouldn't want one in a confined space with me!

Boy, that must've been some MOTHER toothbrush!

Another thought that comes to mind.. and again, not being nasty.. But.. if you had a 'normal' job (hehe), and your wife were to have surgery, chances are you wouldn't be allowed to take 3 weeks off, 2 while she recovers. Jeez some workers are lucky to get a day off for an aunt's funeral! I...

I wouldn't put any weight whatsoever in these numbers. The owner inputs these numbers, and he could've been basing them on anything. ie, perhaps they currently (at time of filling it in) only have 2 trucks and 2 drivers, but perhaps they are estimating their miles for the coming year, which may...

If you were willing to drive solo during the two weeks, then why did you turn down option#1 becuz you won't leave your wife alone? Not being nasty, just playing devil's advocate. If you weren't willing to drive with the other codriver, maybe he just has fears of the situation turning out to be...

Hey I was just makin a joke.. Fine, I'll get my mind outta the gutter :rolleyes:

Just remember.. It isn't the size that matters :)
