It's the season for upgrading

One of the local television stations has added an "ask an expert" feature to their website for home renovation topics. A group of local companies in the industry have been recruited to answer questions from regular homeowners, so I think that's really neat. I'm just a wee bit suspicious because a person has to register to ask a question - I am having visions of being spammed with messages like "cheap low-flow toilets", "install your own skylight - find out how!!!" and so on!

Digital phone service is now available in Calgary, and I think that we're going to sign up. $55 for all local and long-distance calls a month, so that's not bad, but really, it's just an excuse to cease relations with our local regular phone company because their high-speed internet is down more than it's up lately.

You should know that these "experts" aren't what they appear. In most cases, they pay the Web site a monthly or yearly fee to be considered the "expert" in that field. Though they probably can still give decent advice...
