Dear Bird Talk, I learn so much from reading our CSA magazine, plus the sharing of information from our snowbirds via Bird Talk. Is there a way to determine the best cell phone plan to use between Canada and the U.S. that avoids the prohibitive roaming fees? Ideally, one would not have to establish and […]

Dear Bird Talk, I am a Canadian spending my winters in Arizona. Last winter I had an eBay account and paid for my purchases through PayPal with a Canadian credit card for delivery to my temporary U.S. address. This worked fine.

Wonderful if you are […]

Dear Medipac, Thank you very much for mailing pictures of our house in Maple Leaf Estates, Port Charlotte, Florida, taken after the destruction of Hurricane Charley. While I have received a number of pictures of my place in MLE, your pictures are by far superior in detail to any I’ve seen, and were most helpful […]

Dear Bird Talk, We are members of the CSA and read with interest your publication. One new point of interest to members may be regarding car/van tire rotation. Owners should check the nuts/bolts before leaving the garage. One member of our family did stop in time—three bolts were not tightened properly, a near fatal accident. […]
