Mac software for preparing the Revenue Declaration [Mar. 20th, 2010|04:26 pm]

Hi, Montreal,

I wonder if in the community there Mac users who use special software for preparing their revenue declarations. What software are you using? I know that a certain percentage of people use the software to help them and this is my first revenue declaration and I would need the assistance of the software. Thanks in advance!

Well, now I would like to ask what Windows software do you use? I might try this through VirtualBox.

Dog Walking Price [Mar. 19th, 2010|11:20 pm]

Hello all,
I found someone who needs me to walk their dog daily for two months since they are at work during the day.
I'm not sure of the details yet but it's a Carlin (small) dog, and I guess I would come over mid-day.
She didn't tell me how long but I guess something between 10 and 30 minutes would be reasonable time ?
And for the price ?
Thanks :)

Hey guys, me again :)

So I'm in a bit of a bind; I've a birthday tomorrow and was really bent on getting some cupcake-shaped soap when I went to the store and they were closed for renovations!

Does anyone know where I can find some? I need to buy two for tomorrow and am willing to travel anywhere near a metro!

Thanks! >_

Cabaret Mado [Mar. 19th, 2010|02:55 pm]

Hello All!

I went to Cabaret Mado last weekend, and loved it! I can't believe it's been around so long, and I never went! Have you been? What did you think?

They seem to have events every night, but I don't quite understand if they are all drag shows or not? There is something that is put together by UQAM students, etc, but does that mean it won't be drag?

Mado is new to me, so if any one can shed more light on it for me, would be appreciated!

Thanks and happy friday!

CEGEP stories? [Mar. 18th, 2010|07:26 pm]

I've just recieved an acceptance letter from Vanier and I'm waiting on one from Champlain, so rather than ask the redundant 'Oh, which is better?', 'Which school has a better reputation?' type of questions, tell me about your overall CEGEP experience. Where did you go? What did you take? Did you like your CEGEP experience? How were your teachers? Classmates? School atmosphere?

I'd like to get a good feel about the schools that I'll be choosing between (I couldn't apply for Dawson since they have a French cut-off for Health Sciences, and I've only studied two years worth of French :/ ) so stories about those schools and courses would be especially appreciated!

Thanks a ton!

Travel/health insurance for one year? [Mar. 18th, 2010|04:33 am]

montreal

[electricstars]
[Tags|, , , ]

I want to apply for a one-year visa to a foreign country and the visa application states that I need to have proof of health insurance that will cover me while I'm away. I called Blue Cross and they told me that I can get coverage through them for up to one year but if I stay even ONE DAY longer than one year, I'm pretty much screwed because I will have no coverage at all, because my medicare card will basically be cancelled after that (or something to that effect), and it's something you can only do once every 7 years as well. Since I'm not sure if I'd want to extend my stay after one year, this doesn't seem like the best option for me, so the lady at Blue Cross suggested that I check out health insurance that's independent of the RAMQ/medicare. The only trouble is, I have NO IDEA where to look. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing? Any ideas or suggestions?

Does anyone know if it's possible to have a pair of shoes dyed a darker colour? Say I have a pair of grey boots and I want them to be black... They're a faux leather material. If it IS possible, is there a place that offers that kind of service in Montreal?

If so, how much should I expect to pay?

Thanks for any help. ;)

I need a new haircut, though I don't exactly know what I want. I need someone who can give me new, young ideas.
I'm in the Verdun/Lasalle area, if that helps.

Sorry for inundating all your friends' pages with my queries. I'll stop soon, I promise.

Have any of you bought/re-sold Greyhound tickets online somehow (Craigslist, mcGill classifieds, etc)?  How did it work out?

LiveJournal Major Notes: Global navigation, Mobile, Bug fixes [Mar. 16th, 2010|03:33 pm]

[theljstaff]
[Tags|, , , , ]

We're going to keep this short and sweet (Frank and birthday vgifts will be back next week). You've probably seen the updates to our main menu. Don't be alarmed. You'll find everything you need, just in slightly shifted format. Just so you know, we based these changes on input from both experienced and new users who were not familiar with LiveJournal. Our goal was to reduce barriers to usability and make LiveJournal more accessible and easy to navigate. Please note that this is a work in progress. We welcome your detailed suggestions in [info]feedback. We thank you, in advance, for helping us improve your LiveJournal experience.

We've updated the global navigation menu:

Here's a quick breakdown of what you'll find where:
  • Scrapbook can now be found under Profile (thanks for your feedback, btw), along with Settings, Stats, and Edit Profile.
  • You'll find all the tools you need to post and update entries under Journal, which includes posting and editing entries, managing comments and tags, and customizing your journal's style.
  • Friends contains all of your friend settings, from filtering your Friends page to adding, removing, and finding new and existing friends on LiveJournal.
  • Under Communities, you'll find links to manage your communities, accept community invites, and create new communities.
  • Explore includes search features, RSS feeds, Question of the Day, and FRNK radio.
  • Under Shop, you'll find links to upgrade or give a paid account, buy virtual gifts, purchase LiveJournal merchandise (like T-shirts), and view your payment history.

LiveJournal Mobile update:

We've enhanced LiveJournal's mobile site to improve usability and load times. We've made more of LiveJournal's features accessible via mobile, including posting comments, uploading photos, reading and commenting on friends' posts, finding and messaging friends, and more. We look forward to reviewing your feedback and recommendations for future improvements.

Other important changes:

  • You can lock comments to prevent further commenting on a post, while leaving existing comments visible.
  • We replaced the "Tell a friend" link with a new "Share This" widget that lets you share LiveJournal posts on other social media sites, including Facebook, Digg, Twitter, etc.
  • We changed some of the icons on entries (you can hover over the icons to view descriptions).
  • You'll see a Tag count on your Tag management page.
  • You'll now see the 10 most recent vgifts on your profile page. To remove vgifts, left-click on the vgift and choose whether you want to remove the vgift from your profile or delete it entirely.
  • We've added options to help you control receipt of vgifts, which you'll find in My Stuff under Edit Profile. You can now enable vgifts from friends or everyone and disable anonymous vgifts.

We've got your fix:

  • UPDATE: Rolling several updates into one listing here -- 1) Scrapbook should be back and working again. 2) The problem with the Update Journal page in IE6 and IE7 should be fixed now. 3) The problem with the userpic add-on package pricing has been fixed and refunds issued to anyone who was overcharged while the erroneous prices were in place.
  • Non-conforming images will now be automatically resized for custom mood themes.
  • Line breaks no longer count as two characters against your entry's character limit.
  • We fixed a bug on the Manage Tags page so you can clear all tags and add new tags.
  • We corrected the UI for the update.bml page so it displays properly in IE8.
Thanks again for joining us. Frank and company will be back next week!

Hello fellow Montrealers,

I was wondering if you could help me out, I'm looking for a bike (since everybody around me is riding one). But I have no clue in which shop I should look for ? I tried the Canadian Tire but they really don't have a lot of them.
Also, I'd be looking for something up to 150-175 max =/

Oh and if you get a good lock, can your bike really get stolen
Thanks =D

US taxes? [Mar. 16th, 2010|04:49 pm]

are there any other US citizens here who are filing both Canadian and US taxes? (oh, the joy, I know!)

if so, do you have any recommendations for accountants with expertise in taxes for both countries, or even just US taxes?

I called a few HR block offices and they only had like a single guy, really far from where I live (downtown), who seemed to do US taxes. and he charges $200, no student discount.

Large Group Picnics [Mar. 16th, 2010|01:15 am]

montreal

I've been looking for somewhere to hold a picnic for around 30-40 people. In other cities I've lived in, you could reserve a space in a public park where there'd be say, 5-10 picnic tables under a covered area of some sort, usually with a cement floor, close to a playground or beach or what have you.

I am having NO luck finding any such thing via google in Montreal. I'm coming up with very expensive rental halls and that's just not where I'm going. And thinking back, I realize, I'm not sure I've even SEEN such a thing on the island. And now I'm obsessed. Any tips?
