Dear Bird Talk, Re: Snowbird Extravaganza You are billing it as being for “mature lifestyles.” What does that mean? Senior citizens? Or do you mean mature audiences – as in filthy language?

Quote: 80% are married, 3.5% are living common law and, just so you know, 0.65% live an alternate lifestyle. Unquote. What do you mean ‘just so you know’? Why didn’t you just […]

Dear Bird Talk, I learn so much from reading our CSA magazine, plus the sharing of information from our snowbirds via Bird Talk.

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.

Dear Bird Talk: I read with great interest Ross Quigley’s editorial in your summer 2006 issue of CSANews. Could you possibly relay my comments to him, as well as a few queries I have about his car importing experience? I am also a bit of a car nut as well. Last fall I purchased a […]
