New Netbook
- Scored an Acer Aspire 1410 Netbook for $200, yes - Intel SU4100, 3GB RAM, 250GB HDD, 11.6" LCD, 6-cell/6 hours battery. The 11.6" screen is lovely when I thought 10" was enoug
OHIP
- The bank statement finally came and Wendy now has OHIP for real, no need to pay $1200 to OB and possibly more to the hospital :)
- Jet Lag from the LA/San Diego trip even with only 3 hour differences
Home Insurance
- Just to show it never hurts to look around, but everyone's circumstance is different
- I was paying $660 a year for my house (freehold) insurance with State Farm, and will be $720 after basement addition
- Shocked by the increase, I shopped around and to my surprise, TD Meloche Monnex (as University of Waterloo Alumni) quoted me .... $360 a year...
- Long story short, SF said they couldn't lower my premium and insisted TD quote cannot be that low even it is... so I swithced to prove them wrong, and so far, best $360 ($720-$360) I "saved"
- Even if TDMM increased the rate next year forward, I am still ahead
