Dear Bird Talk, I reference the advice given to John & Debbie Chalmers in the spring 08 issue in the bird talk section. You stated that Florida requires an individual to have a Florida driver’s licence number in order to register a motor vehicle in their system. This has not been my experience. In late […]

Dear Bird Talk, It was with some surprise that I read your article about needing a Florida driver’s licence in order to register a car in Florida. Over the years, I have purchased three cars in Florida and registered them with my B.C. driver’s licence and nobody ever told me I needed a Florida driver’s […]

Dear Bird Talk, I enjoy reading your magazine, however the fall issue no. 92 had some incorrect information in the Low Fat Chicken Stroganoff recipe found on page 49. The recipe mentions that it is gluten-free and that all you have to do is substitute the egg noodles with any gluten-free pasta. Firstly, the all-purpose […]
