		<description>I agree with the article.  I see it when I travel the most.  How few B&amp;B's have internet in Europe, or how kids have never even seen a GPS unit in some countries.  Not only do we live in a bubble - we take it for granted.  I have a blog as well - and I admit - I haven't even thought of baking it up! Gasp!  but I fall in that category of people that can't even figure out how to upload tunes to my Ipod.  And no .... I'm not dumn, slow or stupid.</description>

		<description>Yes we did return the same day, so yes, i guess we only saved $1, but still, that's very interesting Rob.

So you're saying i could have used the same bus ticket for 2 different bus rides as long as they were going in the same direction: 1 from hotel to Ladner Exchange, and 1 from Ladner Exchange down to Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal, and that would have cost us $5?  

Anyway, it's good to know, thanks for the info... and thansk for showing us that we can get to Victoria EVEN cheaper, lol.

I will say though that, as a tourist there, it's an added peace of mind of knowing that we had a day pass that would take us wherever we wanted that day, without having to scramble for change when we got on the bus back from Tsawwassen.</description>

		<description>No - maximum cost within the Lower Mainland system is $5 in one direction (i.e. from hotel to ferry terminal). That is the charge across all zones during the day on a weekday. After 6:30 PM or on the weekend - the maximum charge is $2.50.

You'd need to pay again to return, but most people would be returning late in the day or on a different day. If you were planning on taking the trip to the island and then returning the same day before 6:30 PM, then the savings would be $1.

		<description>well, i guess it depends from where you're coming right? i mean, i bought the day pass because precisely because i needed MORE than a single trip: it covered 2 bus rides from my hotel to ladner exchange, and then on the way back from ladner exchange 2 bus rides back to my hotel.

so 4 rides, total $9... if you're saying 1 way trip is $5, and i'm taking 4 buses, wouldn't that work out to $20 instead?</description>

		<description>Why buy the day pass? Even on a weekday, the most you will pay is $5 for a one way trip - paying for a day pass for a single trip is not economical...

Thanks for the write up though!</description>

		<title>Comment on The Obamas are leading by example with regards to parenthood by CosmoChick</title>

		<description>Hi Linda, thanks for your comment! I love it when someone completely disagrees with me, so thanks for being honest! I never claimed that the Obamas were the model parents, i said that a new style of parenting has entered the White House, i.e. they are promoting their parenting skills (or non-skills according to you). And the end of your comment, you mention that i don't back my opinion, but i'm pretty sure my post was filled with facts: facts to proove how their are making parenting a public affair, not facts about how they should be voted parents of the year.

You are absolutely right, i have NO idea what goes on behind closed doors. But i see what they want to show me, and i like what they see. I like that the grandmother is living with them. I like that Michele said that she won't do anything in her first month other than ensure that her children are settled. I like that Obama comes home for dinner every night, even if he goes back to work afterwards. I like that he regrets the ONE official interview he did with his kids.

You wanted facts? Those ARE facts.

As for you criticizing rap music, i agree, the lyrics are horrible and demeaning to women. But it is part of what makes America, they are as much part of the culture as country, jazz, pop and everything else. Love it or hate it, it's here. Yes, you can forbid your kids to listen to it. But i've learnt from experience that forbidding your kids from doing such things just means they'll do it behind your back when you're not looking. So i'd rather address it and explain to the kids what's wrong with the lyrics and make it their choice.

As for Michelle being a model more than a mom, neither you and i are in a position to judge. I say she's a great mom who publicly shows how much time she spends with her kids, you say she spends most of her time modeling for magazines. Like you said, we don't know the real details.

Thank you for disagreeing with me (i mean it), and hope you can respect that I disagree in return.</description>
