I came across the Tesla website in my search for "green" vehicles. I watched some of the U-tube videos of this particular car. I would love to have such a vehicle that has a 350 km range, 125 mph top speed and 0-60 mph in 4 secs,...

dartman2 Me too. I hope that as production scales upward, the price will head downward, or the technology will find its way into similar lower-priced cars. Thanks Nelly.

How much money do you spend on fuel each month? Being retired, we can keep our vehicle usage to a minimum. Even though we have a gas-guzzling SUV, we are spending only C$75 per month so far this year. I wonder how that compares...

dartman2 At $78 a tank, we stretch our fuel a lot in a month.

I have just heard that the judge presiding over the case of Canadian Omar Khadr being held in Guantanamo Bay has just been fired for delaying the case. What the judge did, thank his soul, was threaten to suspend proceedings if the...

dartman2 It appears to me from what I can gather on the net, (esp. Wikipedia) that there are documents important to this case that are not being brought to light. Hence, the judge's ruling and subsequent firing. I cannot find out what "status" Omar has at present as it...

dartman2 I'm sure it's no big deal. I just checked myLot's "Don't" rules again and the only reference is about commercials and advertising which I think makes your post OK. I am not an expert on this, I just thought I should mention it. Sorry. I needed to review the...

Have you ever asked your local government representative (e.g., member of parliament) a question and actually received a response? if so, has the response answered your question? We have had occasion recently (within the last...

I have a small collection (400+) of lp records covering everything from acid-rock to jazz and blues. Most of the lps have been played a few times, but most are in great shape. Do you think it would be worth my while to offer these...

dartman2 Actually there are no such music stores in small town Canada where I live. The closest probable would be 200 km away and I am not sure of that. That's why I was so interested in on-line sales, because one can reach so many more potential interested parties. I...

dartman2 Thanks allen. I have seen a way to offer them for sale through Amazon but am a little shy about trying this as I would have to work out the payment/shipping/satisfaction aspects. There are not too many people who could actually play these anymore and I think I...

Do you have your own website? Web hosting used to be a topic for web designers and internet experts only. But now, there is so much information on the web about web hosting. For my first site, my friend got a really cheap...

Here in Canada, when one buys a new vehicle, one pays a sales tax of 8% plus a goods and services tax of 5% for a total of 13% of the price of the vehicle. If one decides to sell this vehicle at any time thereafter, the buyer must...

dartman2 Your comments make me feel a little better with our system although I don't understand the logic (apart from being a great income producer for the government) of taxing the same item many times during it's useful lifetime.

dartman2 Perhaps you can take consolation in the fact that Canada's country-wide health care is not entirely "free" as you say, although I do believe it has hope.

dartman2 Thanks, jsteve, for the updates (which I wasn't aware of) for Apple PCs. I have neglected the recent developments, having achieved a very happy state with my present system about 3 or 4 years ago. Since that time, I have found it relatively simple and...

Are you the type of person that needs to follow trends? Do you need the latest gadget? Have you fully exploited the capabilities of the "stuff" that you already own? These are questions we could ask ourselves almost daily to...

dartman2 We have a lot of the same feelings and are trying our best to make the most of what we have. Our purchases are usually well thought out before "taking the plunge" and buying something else. Sometimes, as you say Ruby, new gadgets are more work than they are...

I am interested to know if this game is as popular in your area as it is becoming in mine. I believe there is a trend towards more popularity world-wide but just thought I would try to get a better idea through myLot. Thanks.

dartman2 My better half and I started playing semi-seriously about a year and a half ago (fairly regularly) when the Canadian winter started in 2006 and haven't stopped yet. We play on average three double-in double-out games of 301 a day (usually in the evening). I...
