  6. I hate to say this... I really do... In the US you do NOT have to pay taxes... infact it is against the Constitution.. alot in the US have realized this and are no longer filing tax returns.. there is NO law on the books that states you must pay taxes as it would be against the US Constitution! But it is truth... most are just too scared to fight the Gov... G

  12. I have had both knees scoped.. my right one three times. each time I was up and back to normal in about a week... sure there was still a bit of tenderness though.. the important thing for me was to keep it mobile, It still gives me fits from time to time... normally when bad weather is coming I feel a bit sore.

  17. and here we go again.... does this merry-go-round never stop?
  18. Got back Friday evening and just found the time to be able to put this together for everyone... I will start by saying that we did get out fishing... but it did not last too long.. but we did manage a few.. We flew out of Toronto with Air Transat on an Airbus 310 in the emergency row heck club class has nothing on the leg room these seats afford I would have to say though that the flight was one of the more interesting I have experianced. First of all there was quite a bit of turbulence... secondly just as we were making our decent there was a medical emergency on board.. seems this young guy thought mixing Gravol, Sleeping pills and Alcohol would be a great combination! What a dolt.. he passed out vital signs absent.. the flight director came over the loud speaker asking if there was a medical doctor onboard.... unfortunately there was not one.. but a quick thinking attendant had him going again... but still out cold! Needless to say the landing was rushed and more then bumpy with one of the hardest landings I have ever experianced! ambulances were waiting on the ground for this individual while we waited and waited... Finally we are off the plane and walking on the tarmac.. and after we get through customs we are loaded onto our bus and we are off.... or so we thought! after 30 minutes of start and stop, air conditioning on and off, forward and back we are finally off to our resort... until the bus finally had enough on the side of the highway! Now I dont know how many of you have been on the roads in the DR but there are virtually no traffic laws.. and if there are laws they are certainly not followed! While we were waiting for another bus to get us to our resort we had the pleasure of meeting the DR militia.. who slowed down and stopped their van brandishing M16's.... We arrive at our resort, Punta Cana Princess a more beautiful resort I have yet to see... if you are looking for a relaxing adults only resort this is the place for you! It is a smaller resort only 200 rooms and if you are looking for night life you have all inclusive access to thier other resorts located next door Before arrival I sent the hotel an email, asking them for building 5 (closest to the beach) on the 3rd floor... and we arrived to this... the last room in building 5... and the best view of the ocean And this was the view from our room.. The pool Some of the wildlife I encountered.. Now this little fellow looks friendly... a Portuguese Man of War http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_Man_o%27_War Some Assorted shots... Well I have hundreds of photos... and I wont bore you any more with them and will get onto the fishing part of my report... We left for Mike's Deep Sea fishing adventures early Sunday morning.. we both took out motion sickness pills and were off... Now before I continue I planed on taking most of the photo on our way in... but here are are few... We were on this ships larger brother.. and this was our captain! if I remember correctly his name was Manuel and here is Manuel's first Mate Now... when we left the docks everything was GREAT! a nice boat all to ourselves and a top notch crew! then motion sickness took hold of my girlfriend in a bad way! we got our lines set and within 5 minutes fish on! a decent sized Mahi Mahi... and here is when the fun started... I started to fight the fish, while my girlfriend was chumming the waters over the side of the boat! I have the first mate screaming wheel wheel! all the while I am more concerned with my GF... she continued to chum the boat the water and the gunnels... I decided I have put her through enough and wanted to get her back on shore.. All in all I was and hour and thirty minutes in to a 4 hour charter... and I called it quits as this was supposed to be for us... and not me I caught 3 Mahi Mahi... and could not torture my girlfriend further... These guys were top notch in my opinion and will use their services again should I visit the DR in the future. Seeing as how I have hundreds of photos... and cannot pick which ones to post I will close with this one... I had a blast in the DR and hope to return soon! G.
  19. Hey Brian, congrats to you and the miss's 27 years is no easy feat! G
