Well good morning forum family, we had a beautiful weekend out west, +16 yesterday. Got the ragtop fired up and went for a rip. even got a little colour. Brought out the patio set and enjoyed the day. Now it wouldn't be Easter without a bbq. So here is a guys version of cooking
You start with a stop at the liquor store and buy 12 red stripe, or if they don't have any you have to subsitute budweiser. You take 6 and put them intop the fridge, the other 6 goes into a cooler filled with home made ice, no boughten stuff.
you fire up the bbq, and take out a couple of burgers from a box, no home made burgers. You open the first can of beer, a very carefully salute the bbq and wave it over the meat, do not pour any over it, kill the beer. As the bbq heats up, open the second can, again salute the day. Carefully finish the beer and bring the cooler closer to the table. Now you're getting ready, but do not rush it, even though you are tempted but relax and open the cooler. Carefully grab the third beer so as not to shake it. Kill the third one and get up, grab the fourth and sit back down. Go to the fridge and grab the 6 beer, carefully put them into the cooler with home made ice. The bbq is warm now, grab the fifth beer and walk over to the bbq and turn it off. Sit back down and open the sixth beer, you still need to keep the fifth and sixth close to you. Finish the sixth and grab the 7th. By now you really don't care if you eat or not. The burgers have thawed out and turned a little brown, throw them away. Put the rest back in the freezer so they are ready for bbq next weekend.
See, this is a good recipe for any guy on the weekend.

Morning chelley and lonely_wife! Hope everyone enjoyed their Easter. Hope the little one enjoyed his birthday, chelley .

Chelley, thanks for the clarification. Hubby was also told the same thing (about some of the Ontario offices not being so nice) by the Elliot Lake Service Canada office, LOL. They told him to make sure he brings me there and doesn't do my paperwork some place else, LOL.

Lonely_wife, is hubby counting down the days? Tell him if he isn't, I am counting them for him, I'm that excited for you guys, LOL. Tell him to make sure when he leaves the job that they give him a P45 (Certificate of Leaving), you guys will need that when filing taxes for 2011. It is just a form showing how much he earned this year until he left the job and how much NIS (social insurance) and PAYE (income tax) were deducted.

Canuck, hubby is firing up the BBQ and ticked off that he didn't get to the liquor store before the holiday weekend, LOL!

hello everyone! I hope you all had a great long weekend and Easter!

hey chelley, lonely wife, charlie and canuck.

mmm bbq!! how did your wife like the warmer weather and bbq canuck? I'll be sure to let my hubby know how to cook properly lol he'll love it, thanks for the jokes!

chelley's right, my hubby got his Health Card last Thursday which was on his 90th day after landing - a Permanent Resident is not eligible for a health card for the first 90 days after landing. This information is in the welcome package you are provided by customs when you arrive in Canada.

We were pro-active and right after he landed I got his name on my hydro bill, he got a bank account right away and he got a job so he also had a pay stub from his employer with his address on it - all 3 of them are on the list of acceptable documents as proof of residence for the Health Card. Luckily, hubby also got his G1 licence before he applied so he used that as ID. Like your husband chelley, they accepted his PP, PR card and G1 drivers licence. They did not ask to see any other documents and there was no issues whatsoever with applying.

We went to the Oakville location on the North Service road and they were over the top nice! it was really weird but ALL the agents were nice, I almost had to pinch myself to check if I was dreaming lol They joked and laughed with hubby and it went really smoothly. So if you live around that area, you may want to consider going there, they are open until 7 pm on a Thursday.

 

[chelley]

nae... that's actually the exact office i went to get my card reinstated after the 90 days... they were VERY nice... OWEN SOUND were the (curse word) who took it away in the first place... flat out evil up there.... avoid at all costs!!! now a days i do everything i can that has to do with health canada at the e-kiosks... although the scarborough office (on lawrence) isn't too bad either, they changed my name without issue

oh and thanks Charlie... he had a great day

 

[lonely_wife]

Hello ladies... I am just posting quickly before heading to work...

Canuck thanks for the detailed BBQ... I will definatly let hubby know about it so he can make sure he cook the hamburgers the right way lol...

Charlie.. Hubby is counting down the days for sure and in the mean time I keep looking at the itinary online once a day or every two days just cause I am so proud and anxious for him to get his butt over here.. thanks for the info about the P45.. I did let him know about it... Not sure if we will do like 2010 yet...

Hey Nae Nae... I am hoping hubby and I have the same experience as you and hubby when we goe to the HC office... wow but for some strange reason I find people in Northern Ontario more friendly then southern Ontario I dunno if its just my own personal experience but everytime I went somewhere in the Toronto area I was always dealing with real dumb*censored* so maybe it just turned me off... I will keep my fingers crossed as we are going through that process in about 5 months lol hahaha...


Wishing everyone a wonderful rest of the afternoon and evening and I am running out to work

Good morning everyone, by the look of things it appears you all had a lovely easter and thats great. I myself had a fabulous time but now it over, and its back to the grinding to make those bucks.

Well here's to hoping that kgn start working as early as us this morning, i would really love to hear some news now.

LETS GO KGN, LETS GO!!!!! NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CharlieD10]

Good morning everyone! I trust everyone enjoyed their Easter break . I had a relaxed and quiet one, except for the mango tree which insists on dropping the fruits right on my roof. I am headed to the property manager's office now to find out if they can't prune it or something, it is seriously driving me nuts to be scared out of a deep sleep by the sound of banging on the roof...before I remember it's the mangoes I am afraid someone is trying to break in, or gunshots are going off close by! ???

As some of you know, hubby and I are still waiting on his approval to sponsor me. We followed up this morning with a call to the CIC Call Centre, and they advised us that technically he has been approved, but they are waiting on some paperwork from Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) as my husband receives a supplement from them because of his blood disorder, to assist with his dietary needs and so on, before they can send us the letter. They told us to check back by the end of the week, at which time they should have that paperwork in hand. So that's where we are, still In Process, LOL.

Well, off to pay some bills I go. Have a great Tuesday everyone. Let's go, KG, hope you enjoyed your bun and cheese! NEXT!!

 

[ladyposh]

Morning Everyone...I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend.

Charlie.....what I would do for some of those mangoes right now...lol!!!! We over here have to be buying mangoes for an arm and a leg and they you are with them falling on your roof top driving you bonkers!!!lol

I hope KGN gets rolling today reuniting some families today/this week.

Let''s GO KGN!!!!

 

[nae-nae]

Congrats charlie!!! that's good news, let's hope they do have the paper work in hand by Friday and hubby sponsorship is approved then it's on to KG to wait some more lol I'm just glad they had an answer for you.

 

[CharlieD10]

Ladyposh, bring a scandal bag or two, you can have as many as you like. Right now I am contemplating running to True Value hardware to buy a chainsaw!

LOL, thanks Nae. I am glad to at least know what's going on. I had to kick hubby's butt to make the call, I told him we just needed to know why we haven't gotten that approval letter yet, I don't like unexplained delays. With KG I get that we will hear nothing, know nothing until they are good and ready, but any delay out of CPC-M has an explanation and there was no harm in asking.

[ladyposh]

Charlie....what kind of mangoes is it? Julie.....stringy....east indian....common....blackie.....hmmmm or lord let me stop!!!!

 

[chelley]

hehehe... all this mango is making me hungry too... somehow when i was living on the island we missed mango season (comes much later and is shorter up in the cold hills!)

i do remember trips where i stayed with the ex's family in harbour view tho... the neighbours all found out that the kids and i enjoyed mango and we had scandal bag after scandal bag delievered to our door daily... they couldn't be happier to get rid of them!
