That massive French fry on your shoulder is making you lopsided.

I take it that you meant whingeing not "winging".

No files on me but your rite, I spell in Oz not canadan.

I know where the OP is coming from. 

 

My first visit "back home" in around 8 years and it wasn't the same place I had left 20 years ago. Took me weeks to replace my long expired DL because of ID requirements.  Opening a checking account (because mine were closed after an extended absence) was a flaming PITA. 

 

Fortunately, I was staying in a redneck part of Galveston Island that started out decades ago as a fishing camp.  That shielded me from the Dem run, crime ridden craphole that Houston had become.  Visiting family in Houston was a real eye opener.  Homeless, drug addicts, and shoplifters were the order of the day.  They warned me off going out at night.

 

Currently staying in China for personal reasons, I still haven't decided whether to go back to Texas or retire to Thailand.

Amazing info. Never knew

In Canada we pay every time we drink a beer , fuel up the car or smoke a cigarette. That's better than being hit with a huge bill that includes the insurance company cut.

I would go to https://www.doitbest.com/ or to a registered TOA shop and ask them.  Some of the shops might let you try it.
