]]> Comment on Time to start planning your backyard skating rink - How To by Sherry http://www.ottawafamilyfun.com/archives/141#comment-3564 Thu, 21 Sep 2006 12:47:49 +0000 http://www.ottawafamilyfun.com/archives/141#comment-3564 Hi! How are you? I enjoyed reading your story. Last year we tried to put a tarp down on our rink, we needed more than one tarp because the area that we are covering is 40x70 (on the basketball court) I didn't know how to fill the seems so we tried duct tape, I mean that fixes everything right? wrong what a mess. My first problem is that we are on a well. We are source fed but the pump isn't strong enough so we have to water 10 min. turn off water, bring in the hose, wait 20 min for the tank to fill back up go back out ect... Long story short (yet funny) I would like to try the Jiffy rink this year, of course we will need more than one. I am asking for your expertise in this matter, as my water supply is not very good our plan was to fill the liners with our pool water (that took 6 days to fill, never again!) anyways, this is one of those pools that have to be taken down in the winter so I will have to empty the pool soon. So my question is do you think that the liner will hold all that water until we get cold enough weather. I would realllly hate to have to pay to get the liners filled. If you have any ideas regarding my plan or can think of another one, could you please e-mail me back. Thank you for your time. Sincerly...(stumped) Sherry Hi! How are you?

It basically is equal rights to all and special treatment for none. Not even if you have alot of money. Which is hard to accomplish in our day and age. But this is why the healthcare system hasn't gone two teer among many other reasons. But as a university student I would be so pissed off watching people get onto a better bus then me, buses, are buses. Deal with it. Ottawa in case you have not noticed to spite the strike has the best transit system in almost the world. Many places around the world look at there example for transit, and to try and basically make a limo bus for the more fortunate, lets just separate the income families even more then they already are. Ottawa transit system runs great when they are not on strike, do not ask for a newspaper and donuts too, go to tim hortons. Anyone heard of the defineition of democracy?
