  1. The bigger airports in Canada you clear US customs on the Canada side. I've never flown out of Ottawa but when they used to do London/Detroit service on Northwest I know you would clear on the US side but Toronto and Montreal you clear on the Canada side.
  2. When the OP mention Buffalo I assumed he was flying out of the US and not Canada when I typed that. You do preclear in Toronto on both sides but some smaller airports it isn't the case. I' live near the windsor/detroit crossing and have found crossing on land a lot bigger pain than flying. I've had a few secondaries on land but neer flying into Toronto or Montreal. If someone is crossing a lot I recomend getting Nexus or GE. GE you can only use coming into the US from Canada and can't use the nexus lane going into Canada but has saved me a lot of time since I've gotten it.
  3. There are only a couple providers I would pay $500 an hour for (Blake Mitchell or Johnny Hands). I think Arad Winwin is a lot hotter than JJ and he charges $500 an hour and I refuse to pay that to him. I hope if he is charging that kind of fee he isn't a clock watcher. I'd be wanting the entire hour
  4. Also has me concerned since I do international travel a lot and have global entry. With the GE it's a breeze entering the US and I can use Nexus from Canada but has me concerned if they do a secondary or I get pulled aside in another country. I can delete any texts but can they read my emails? I also have some pretty confidential texts between friends and family members that aren't of a sexual or illegal nature.
  5. Makes sense seeing you clear US Customs in Canada instead of the US on canadian flights
  6. Love that movie. I don't know why they didn't use the Stevie Nicks song "edge of seventeen" in it since it was from that era. It is based partially on a true story and I saw it at a LGBT film festival in Detroit right after it was released and the writer did a Q&A This movie is on Netflix and I really enjoyed it because I graduated high school in 1984 and have lived in the area all my life.
  7. Sorry you had to go through that but why would customs even be involved in a domestic flight? I fly all the time and the only time I deal with Customs is when returning to the US from an international flight. I've had TSA be a jerk a few times even though I have precheck, a couple times it's beeped for a secondary but I'm on my way. I've also never had a boarding pass say if it's one way or RT. The officer sounds like a real jerk, he should have just asked to see the confirm that would have shown it was a RT ticket.
  8. Surprised "Last Ferry" hasn't been mentioned yet. The star is very nice looking. It's on Netflix, ok movie.
  9. That is a big mark up but I'm sure Goldbelly gets a nice commission and they ship the stuff overnight fed ex or ups so I'm sure a lot of it is shipping since they have to use gel packs or dry ice.
  10. I'm going to have to check them out next time I'm in NYC. This really has me craving Doughnut project in NYC now also LOL. The pot pies look amazing. Goldbelly isn't cheap but I was really craving Babka the first time I ordered with them and knew I wouldn't be flying soon and figured I was saving a lot of money from not flying and to treat myself. If you have an American Express card there is an offer on a lot of there cards on their page for $50 off a $100 purchase. You can use it to buy a gift card and use that for the pie. and it will cost you $50 if you decidenot to use the other $20. If you have a chase card with pay yourself back Goldbelly is working on the 50% discount category so the pie would only cost you a little over $50 in points.
  11. I don't understand why they aren't requiring nurses and medical professionals also get hazard pay. A nurse in a hospital or EMT is putting their lives in a lot more danger being around a covid patient
  12. I'm scared the same thing will happen if minimum wage does get increased to $15 an hour. I'm sure we'll see a lot more kiosks at fast food places and they'll be common like they are in Europe. We pay our college interns $18 an hour and they are thrilled to be making that much but if a McD's worker is making that I can see them asking for more money. And I'm sure like with Kroger's that have recently closed, if a merchant is on the fence about closing due to profit margins and their lease is up just closing the business.
  13. Thanks for the heads up on the pie company. May use them for Easter. My favorite so far is the double chocolate babka from Onek bakery. I like to put in my toaster oven at 300 for a few minutes to warm it up. If you are into the credit card point game there are a couple good deals out there. Some Am Ex cards in their sing up offers have $50 off a $100+ goldbelly purchase and it can be used up to three times so I bought three different $100 e-gift cards. Figure it saves 50% and if you have a chase card with pay yourself back Goldbelly works in their bonus categories through at least 4/30. It is expensive but I figure I'm saving a lot of money not travelling and it helps to keep these small businesses I like to patronize when I can travel in business.
  14. Found out about Goldbelly this week. Expensive but great way to get food from places like NYC now that I can't travel.
  15. Jaxton Wheeler. He's looking awful with that beard and has a few bad reviews.
  16. One I thought of that was AWFUL and we almost left at intermission was Nunsense 2. A friend of mine loved Dody Goodman and Dawn Wells and wanted to see it since they were starting in it in Detroit. I have been to some bad shows but wanted to leave at intermission and dozed off in the second act. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Naked Boys Singing on here. Nice eye candy but no real story line and no good songs except the opening song.
  17. And Julie's husband wrote it. Sort of like Jeckyl and Hyde. I like Deborah Cox as a singer for the genre she is known for but she was awful as Lucy in Jekyl and Hyde. Frank Wildhorn clearly wrote that role for his then wife. Linda Eder was meant to play that part. It's too bad she never returned to broadway, I know she took some time off to be a mother but she is a very talented singer. There are videos of Linda performing Someone Like you and a new life on YouTube. Would ahve loved to have seen the show with her in it on Broadway.
  18. I loved Victor/Victoria. I really wanted to see it when Liza was performing her role. I saw it travelling but love the music (but I'm a huge fan of Frank Wildhorn and Linda Eders). I've seen the DVD of the live production and liked it. May have to do with the talent in it also. My friend that saw it in the local travelling production with me loved that performance but he also saw it with Toni Tennielle and said she was awful. One thing I didn't like about the production with Liza is I love the song "crazy world" that closes out act one and when Liza was in it they replaced it with the song "who can I tell" Not sure of the reasoning behind that.
  19. I almost hired him a couple years ago when he was in Detroit visiting, sad he let himself go over just a year. When he was dating Mason Lear those two were always getting high live on facebook He's dated Leo Forte now and they produced a video together on kink and he looked awful.
  20. Brian Bonds, I used to think he was hot but he looks like shit since covid. Dominic Pacifico another one I'd have loved to have hired five+ years ago that is still escorting and doing porn that hasn't aged well.
  21. Thinking of hiring him when I"m in Miami in a couple weeks. Cute photos and he claims to get into kinky play which is a requirement when I hired these days.

  23. I loved her in the Sonheim Birthday special when Patty Lupone sang "Ladies who lunch" and when she Patti said does anyone still wear a hat, they showed Elaine wearing a red a hat. That was Elaine's big song and was great how her and Patti hugged after Patti finished singing it. Was cool that Patti played that part in the revival of Company after in the West End. I liked her performance at the White House too and felt really bad for her. She acted like she had dementia when she was singing, she sang "I'm still here" for the Obama's and used the opening line she used at the liberty and forgot the punch line and she messed up a couple lines in the song and her pianist had to help her out with a couple of the words she forgot but she still got a standing ovation from the Obamas. I liked her in the show Two's Company and she said "does anyone still wear a hat" as a line in on of the shows and "I'll drink to that" in another episode, you'd have to be a true Stritch fan to catch the humor in those.
  24. Florida, but liked Mrs. Maugatuck also. I didn't care for Victoria, fortunately she wasn't in that many episodes.
  25. I think Bea and Elaine are very similar. Elaine did a show called "nobody's perfect" that I wish they would put out on DVD that I can't find anyplace that ran for a few seasons in the UK. I'm told it was like a UK version of Maude which is a show I love to this day.
