Legend About Itchy Noses
Last weekend before Christmas in December and good
Saturday morning races last Christmas (avoiding crowded stores, so if possible:)), before leaving for Calgary (well, after that Celine had been 50min and 25 km back from downtown Airdrie, located 5 km from us:)), to go to Glenbow Museum, one of major museums of the city, we wanted to do long ago. A few days before Christmas, everyone should be in stores, is not it? Well apparently, as we crossed a dozen people in just under 3 hours on 4 levels of the museum:) Very nice
, this museum, and was different from what we expected: few tables, and many other objects and reconstructions. A very nice museum to visit, with many explanations about local history. $ 14 per person per entry.
Link to some pictures we took .
Finally, it was planned to spend the evening at a restaurant with friends, who finally had a setback, not serious, we drank a glass every two to upscale Mango Shiva and ended up ordering dinner Greek Paros .
Sunday, beautiful snowfall, we relaxed and started to prepare the eve. The base of the tree is already hard cover gift:)
This week is a week of three days, followed by a nice weekend of 5 days and then a week of three days, a weekend of 3 days (New Year) before attacking January by an average week. 2010 is coming soon!

Does Tea Weaken Enamel
Comparo self
I just stumble on a site car comparo (probably well known to aficionados). It is an American site, so prices are in USD and consolidated, to MPG (miles per gallon) and not L/100km, but it can be a good idea of what we want according to its criteria. And it is more visual and intuitive than the good old Excel spreadsheet:) The database of this site includes the 707 models of the U.S. market. The Canadian market has a number of models and less.
Examples:
For our first car, an SUV (a CUV, ren reality, but does not play on words ...), choosing our criteria of price, age, consumption, engine and wheels, it automatically reduces the comparison of 184 vehicles a. .. 9.
We take this opportunity to further reduce consumption, which eliminates the (slightly) more intensive Ford Mazda, Mitsubishi and Suzuki, and it happens automatically at a top 4. And our final choice is indeed in the top 4.
Second example, our second car with our criteria (including price and low consumption), we arrive at a shortlist of 7 vehicles (against 123 at the base in this range of vehicles).
remains to be a top 4 by releasing the Chevy Cobalt (does not tailgate), Scion (Toyota brand's exotic, not available in Canada) and Toyo (chest riquiqui), and pof, we arrive at a shortlist of 4, or is, once again, our final choice.
Obviously, these criteria are objective, and furthermore, some filters could be interesting, are not used (dimensions, for example, or consolidated real). However, in the end it remains an interesting tool.
For consolidated real and pollution, I would strongly advise the American government site FuelEconomy.gov .

Statistics 2008 Household Expenditure
Statistics Canada recently released statistics by household expenditure in 2008 (they arrive a little late, mid-December 2009!). If Albertans have the highest salaries in Canada, they also (logically, I want to say) the biggest expenses.
Finally, expenditures have increased across the country between 2007 and 2008, averaging +2%, less than inflation (+2.3%). An average Canadian household has expended $ 71,364 in 2008. The above include:
- 20.5%, or $ 1,219 per month in income tax (+1.1%).
- 19.9%, or $ 1,183 per month for housing (+4%, with +10.5% for rentals).
- 13.6%, or $ 809 per month, transport (+3.5%).
- 10.4%, or $ 618 per month on food.
- 1.6%, or $ 94 per month in telecom (+0.6%).
For Alberta
- 21.9%, or $ 1,588 per month in income tax.
- 19%, or $ 1,377 per month on housing.
- 14%, or $ 1,015 per month, transport.
- 8.9%, or $ 643 per month on food.
- 6.3%, or $ 460 per month, or leisure.
- 5.3%, or $ 382 per month in insurance and pension contributions.
- 4.6%, or $ 331 per month in energy.
- 4.4%, or $ 323 per month, health and personal care.
- 3.8%, or $ 275 per month in clothing.
- 3%, or $ 220 per month in charities.
- 2.7%, or $ 194 per month, home furnishings equipment.
- 2.1%, or $ 156 per month, alcohol and tobacco.
- 1.5%, or $ 108 per month in educational expenses.
- 0.3%, or $ 25 per month in gaming.
- 0.3%, or $ 24 per month pounds.
- 1.7%, or $ 122 per month in other expenses.
In total, this corresponds to a maximum of 78% income or expenditure "mandatory" or "first necessity". Why "up"? Because the statistics do not differ in such food "mandatory" Food "luxury" (restaurant, catering ...).
Ranking of provinces by share of expenditures required in the income
1. Saskatchewan 76% of income ($ 68,279)
2. Manitoba 77% of income ($ 63,514)
3. Newfoundland and Labrador, 77% of income ($ 57,710)
4. Alberta, 78% income ($ 86,911)
4. Nova Scotia, 78% income ($ 60,328)
6. British Columbia, 79% income ($ 73,119)
6. Ile du Prince Edouard, 79% of income ($ 58,707)
6. New Brunswick, 79% of income ($ 58,435)
x. Canada, 79% income ($ 71,364)
9. Ontario 80% of income ($ 77,310)
9. Quebec, 80% income ($ 60,478)
regularly refers people here complain about the cost of living. Indeed, in nominal terms, life is more expensive here, but ultimately it is in the average. Note that all provinces are close to the average ... certainly somewhat dragged down by the two most populous provinces, the last comparison. So there is apparently no real noticeable difference in cost of living from one province to another, but we should know the habits of consumption by province for more details ...

Pattycake Candy From Strangers
Test Store: Bianca Amor's
This afternoon I took advantage of the lunch break to go to complete my Christmas shopping, this time at Chinook Centre (whereas we are more accustomed to Sunridge or CrossIron ). I also want to go a store nearby, which we receive pubs regularly (yes, Airdrie, 35 miles north): Bianca Amor's Liquidation Supercentre. At first glance, AC looked similar Liquidation World, Last Chance Clearance or XS Cargo , in short, a shop resale of unsold inventory. The kind of stores or have unearthed some doing deco, and it avoids or appliances (because the guarantee is more than minimal in these stores). Well, the second Wednesday before Christmas, the parking lot was packed. Inside, much of the designer suits and ties that people with low incomes. When the store itself is the largest of its kind, we ayions "visit". The fairways are somewhat wide, and shelving, full of bric-a-brac impressive. If you go to stroll, you put a 45min walk around, so he must have eyes everywhere if you want to see everything. Fans of heroic fantasy they currently have a stock of impressive figures!
Finally, some good surprises and a few things gleaned. One really feels a flea market in this shop:) And actually store, is typical of the liquidators: a high-ceilinged warehouse, located apart from main roads, no deco shelves crumbling in the number of articles, etc.. And after having jammed on Mcleod Trail (cause works) and spent so much time in this store, more time to go to the Chinook, which would surely anyway was bung. Well, there are a few days for last minute shopping:)
No, they have no website, but you can find their coordinates on the EFA .
In another style, I'm going lately has Wholesale Club (a subsidiary of RCSS) is really cheap report by Costco ... but hey, we can find happiness in grocery shopping mainly.

A trial symbolic
A business that makes noise ... Calgary has a news story as I evoked little, but the conclusion is, I think, quite symbolic. Sudan has landed
Calgary for 5 days (and not 5 years as I had shows initially) with his entire family, Kibrom had an altercation with his wife, and to silence, he struck her with a shoe. Trying to atone shortly after he had to answer a spit in the face, to which he replied by a mandala, before beating the two weeks leading to ITT. His wife then had the good idea to complain. The defense of
Kibrom based on the following assertion: hitting his wife meets Sudanese customs (and according to the Koran), he did so in 5 years in Calgary, not yet had time to adjust to standard Canadian (yes, yes, seriously!). The court obviously rejected this argument.
At trial, he was sentenced to one year's probation. The plaintiff then appealed and he therefore found the Court where I work, the Court of Appeals. The three judges handling the case have confirmed Sentance yesterday that the first instance court was inappropriate ... and then sentenced to one month in prison, making the weekends. He no longer has a choice and must bite their fingers to have sought ... It is certainly a strong signal (even though in my opinion, the sentence should have been more severe): Alberta, customs and archaic Sharia have no right to quote.
It could also be referred to his country.

Masterbation With A Teady
Weather Edmonton
Here they talk to me about 3 times, then it warrants a little note on this blog!
I said he is cold these days (and we're back at reasonable temperatures today), with -34 to -36 Saturday and Sunday. Well, it did react some Edmontonians, who themselves have had Sunday -46 or -58 temperature felt. Is it too scary than it looks? Probably:) The "worse" than we had in ayions 2 years in Calgary is -36, twice.
-46, it was Edmonton's second coldest city in the world that day, after the station Dzalinda in Siberia. -46, It equals the record of Edmonton, established in January 1972, or however the temperature had been felt for ...- 61.
From today, the cold front was moves eastward, and if Yellowknife is always very cold temperatures (-32 tonight), Manitoba and Saskatchewan has -21/-23. Edmonton bounced back to -22, and Calgary -6.
edit
Wednesday: he has made between -4 and +1 day worth celebrating:)

Electric Starter For 8 Honda Outboard
pre-natal courses: session 2
Saturday, we went to the second session of prenatal classes. If the first took place in Peter Lougheed in north-east of Calgary, it was further held, has Foothills Hospital, 30min from home. If you want to take prenatal classes near you, think you hold at least 2-3 months in advance! But okay, we took the opportunity to has a small hook Moonstruck , the French patisserie in the city to get 2 rolls and chocolate and a little discussion with Philip. Then towards the hospital, a small -25. This time, it addressed delivery over a length of 5:45, cons 4am last week. The pause lasting only 45min, no restaurant this time, we had one canteen of the hospital, it meant to be "healthy."
Well, in summary:
- interesting course, despite significant losses of time due to a somewhat eccentric instructor. And that told much of his life. But aside from that, interesting things.
- $ 20 parking charge to come to a place in a hospital, rather abused it, I think.
- not bad the restaurant, but nothing exceptional, apart from the price: $ 15 for 2 sandwiches and 2 small fries!
- $ 125 for these 3 courses (over 9.45), it's worth it , as they say here. It reassures mom (and a little pinball also the fact that when the teacher insists that "You Will Suffer , goal for sure You'll Be in bread", and it allows Dad to feel (slightly) useful before birth. Think as $ 3 an hour for parking, we had been virtually free since last Saturday ... the entrance is covered with snow, we passed through the exit without taking a ticket . In Airdrie, the parking would have been free.
Bon ben voila
, there is (almost :)) Ready!
Returning from the hospital, we took the opportunity to spend a Market Mall and the store Bo Bebe (small and expensive), then London Drugs (for nursing arm we don ' have not found), and hop, house and relaxing evening:) Sunday, we were motivated to finally take care of Christmas decorations, Celine inside and outside (-28!) for me.

Festive Season Christmas expenses
I do not know about you, but holiday season for us in France, has always done in the following manner:
1. a "Christmas dinner" organized by the company's canteen, about two weeks before Christmas. This is correct at the really nice, but it is a canteen atmosphere - uh, sorry: canteen.
2. 24 to the evening, a midnight supper at home, just us, or with close family.
3. 25, at noon, a second meal rich in calories, at home or among close relatives, usually in committee a little bigger (not reaching large tables) the night before.
4. 29 to the evening, I've grown accustomed since 2000 to organize an evening with friends, at home, with 5 to 10 people. Having always had a space limit, I could not organize large evening of New Year's Day, so this date was mid-way (corresponding also has my birthday, another excuse;)) allowed to organize A festive meal. With Celine, we have perpetuated the tradition ever since, with forcing an exception in 2007 (for 3 weeks in Canada, we knew a few people!) And 2008 (without family in Canada, the evening of 29 has been moved to 24).
5. and finally, the eve of New Year's Day, 31 at night. In France, he always comes to festive evening with many people. After 3
Noels here (well, soon 3!), We see a good difference: the Xmas Parties, there are entire month of December: everyone (or almost) is organizing an Xmas Party home, and so, all your weekends are taken during the 3 weeks before Christmas! And some evenings of the week, too ... If the 24th in the evening is largely dedicated to the family (or you end up in general in the parents' house), there really is no rule for other nights: friends, colleagues, family, etc.. Also, companies each hold an evening, usually enough class' in a good restaurant, or by bringing in a caterer. In 2007, freshly arrived from France, we had a Xmas Party in 2008, we had had 3, and this year we have 6 but are deadlocked on some, because of constraints of a pregnant woman;)
Another thing I like is the total absence of polemic (in our corner of Canada, at least, that's not the same in the east!) on Christmas ornaments. Christmas is Christmas, with Santas, Christmas trees and tutti quanti, we do not discuss the possibility to offend the religious sensibilities with symbols, according to officials in The Hague (judicial capital of Europe ) " too closely linked [s] to Christianity," and instead emphasized the need " the international character and diversity .

Percentages Of Tortuous Colon
This year, Canadians plan to spend Christmas in spending as much (and even a tad more) money than last year: $ 891 instead of $ 884 in 2008. Quebecers are less extravagant, and those living in the Maritimes and Alberta are the most generous:
Christmas expenses by region - $ 891 national average
1. Alberta $ 1,087
2. Maritime (NFL, NB, NS, PEI) $ 1038
3. BC $ 939
4. Manitoba-Saskatchewan
$ 903 5. Ontario $ 848
6. Quebec
Expenditures $ 814 in gifts per region - $ 607 national average
1. Maritime (NFL, NB, NS, PEI) $ 798
2. Alberta
$ 752 3. Ontario $ 601
4. Manitoba-Saskatchewan
$ 576 5. Quebec
$ 551 6. BC $ 547
You may say, income Albertans being the best in the country, it is normal that the expenses are higher. As such, I find the figures interesting people Maritimes, which are among the lowest income countries, and the highest rate of unemployment (PEI and NFL).
And we? Well, we exploded the budget expenditures for the quarter, between purchases for baby and the car for the lady, then Christmas will be more reasonable than last year:) But hey, we still we have fun:)

Ca quail !
This morning, quail, as in recent days. The mercury will even come down to -36 has Rockyview County, before recovering to -30 once made in Calgary. For the occasion, several records were beaten in recent days. And in 2-3 days Back in the positive (low, certainly). If you are considering moving to Calgary, be prepared to withstand variations of 10, 20 or even 30 degrees in just 1 or 2 days, especially (but not only) in winter.

For the birth of a child, things work quite differently here than in France. The mother is entitled to a total of 52 weeks (one year) of congestion, it usually takes some time before birth (Rarely more than a month before, except in cases of complicated pregnancy), in the manner following: - 50 weeks paid 55% (for the secu) of his salary, even if the employer is more generous.
- 2 weeks unpaid overtime.
For the father, he is entitled to 37 weeks. The 37 weeks are paid at 55% by the secu, even if the employer is more generous. In this period of cost reduction, none of our 2 employers are generous. Celine therefore takes her 52 weeks (leave from December 24, 2009 to December 26, 2010, it's pretty crazy!), And I'll probably take two weeks: five days of paid vacation, three days of overtime assessed, and 2 days 55% paid to the secu. In the end, this operation I costing $ 176 net, and for the 52 weeks of Celine, that's income down $ 11,944. Ultimately, this corresponds to 18.3% of our salary. To have a parent at home for a full year, I find it honest ... and this is the minimum, some employers by raising the salary during parental leave is 70% or 80%. Wednesday
edit: actually I am entitled to 1 day off for the birth, so we really have only one day a budget - which will probably end up taking "family illness" (quota permits 10 days per year).

clearing snow, I have already spoken several times here. Calgarians are very critical of the means used by City of Calgary during snowfall. Many say that never even a snowplow or sander not happening in his community (which is false, only residential roads are not plowed). In contrast, the City proposes to increase taxes to realize a larger snow removal, 4 of 5 Calgarians speak out against ... the French have uen reputation of moaners, but in some ways, Calgarians (or is it wider?) are not bad either!

He enormously snow for a week in Calgary, has a rare frequency, and record amounts (up to 20cm in some areas last Friday and 15-20 cm on average that day, so that it rarely falls more than 4-5 cm at once). Generally, residential roads are not plowed by the City (except highway considered at risk, and those relatively frequented), which has a budget of $ 24 million per year for 8000 km of track. 6000 km of tracks are they, never cleared (by the City, I insist, because we see good Samaritans regularly plow the roads with their own pickup).
Calgary is a Canadian city that spends less money on snow removal, per capita:
- Calgary, AB: $ 24 / h, 127 cm of snow per year.
- Saskatoon, SK: $ 25 / h, 105cm of snow per year.
- Toronto, ON: $ 27 / h, 133 cm of snow per year.
- Regina, SK: $ 30 / h, 116 cm of snow per year.
- Winnipeg, MB: $ 44 / h, 111 cm of snow per year.
- Edmonton, AB: $ 62 / h, 124 cm of snow per year.
- Ottawa, ON: $ 76 / h, 222 cm of snow per year.
- Montreal, QC: $ 84 / h, 226 cm of snow per year.
- Vancouver, BC: 47 cm of snow per year.
- Yellowknife, NWT: 165 cm of snow per year.
- Quebec, QC: 317 cm of snow per year.
Airdrie With respect, we find that the snow removal is clearly nickel, with a plow truck that passes even in our little street a bit clueless, and the day after each snowfall. And in regard to snow removal in front of anyone? As I already stated, you have 24 to 36 hours after the last snowfall in Calgary, Airdrie and 48 has. I do not know about Calgary, but Airdrie, people remove snow on the same day, sometimes even when it is snowing again, it's pretty amazing!

Homemade All Wire Rabbit Cages
Transit
Calgary a city being very large (as it includes its suburbs, unlike Toronto or Montreal, for example) with a low population density, it remains the 3rd most populous city in Canada (after Toronto and Montreal ) with about 1 million inhabitants, and the 5th most populous metropolis (after Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Ottawa). In fact, its network of public transport is necessarily dense, but very critical (judge insufficient). Little comparo of the 10 largest Canadian cities and the diversity of their network of transit:
1. Toronto, ON, 5.1 million people: metro, tram, suburban train, bus.
2. Montreal, QC, 3.6 million people: subway, commuter train, bus.
3. Vancouver, BC, 2.1 million people: metro, tram, suburban train, bus.
4. Ottawa, ON, 1.1 million: tram, bus.
5. Calgary, AB, 1.1 million: tram, bus.
6. Edmonton, AB, 1 million: tram, bus.
7. Quebec, QC, 0.7 million people by bus.
8. Winnipeg, MB, 0.7 million people by bus.
9. Hamilton, ON, 0.7 million people by bus.
10. London, ON, 0.5 million people by bus.

Recall and significant differences
Uu last reminder about the local way of thinking and a few notable differences between France and Alberta *:
- the "ghetto" the area at the junction of the northeast quadrant and southeast quadrant of the city, is often named in the media as the "ghetto Calgary. I said previously, must be done to make the sensational sales figures ... The reality of statistics is as follows: with an average annual income per household of $ 42,400 (27% below the city average) and crime rate of 36 ‰ (with the people) and 60 ‰ (with well) Greater Forest Lawn is regarded as the less frequent the city (with its neighbor Marlborough - Marlborough Park , which has better average incomes but higher crime rates). It is true that in raw numbers, this may concern: income 27% below the city average, 2.1 times of crime (property crime) was 7.2 times (with people) above average in the city. It is scary, and that is what the media count. There has read the articles in various local newspapers, and the many reactions of readers have read them, the north-east of the city, especially this junction NE-SE ( Greater Forest Lawn Marlborough and ), is totally an area of lawlessness. But beyond the sensational and gross, we must interpret: yes, the long-time Calgarians have long been a city devoid of (almost) all forms of crime, rising crime and this scares them. However, it is very small compared to American and European figures. There is NO area in Alberta, as Chene Sharp Ile-de-France, or Linkebeek Brussels. The communities with the highest crime rate in Calgary, are nothing less than that for the French references, popular districts (in a good sense), some even prefer the neighborhoods more "neat" because more alive.
- electric poles: Alberta (or is it that Calgary?) Has launched some time ago (I have no exact notion of the time) a campaign of burying electric son, and indeed the communities built for at least 20 years (or more) are of the same way. This is something that we had impresses, from France, or a similar campaign was launched a few years ago only. Another thing that was impressive, was the "minimum service" on the manhole, including communities in the most recent. After 1 year in a new community, we found that despite the low number of manholes, the flow was done properly. It is true that it rains much less here than in Paris, this must obviously play ... We were amused at once to compare the same with other parts, especially in BC, to see if this was a Canadian generality or Calgarian .*
- cheap finishes: it's a we read about quite often on blogs and other forums of expatriates immigrants: compared to homes french, Canadian houses are cheap . A common criticism in eastern Canada, is the sound insulation of apartment buildings. Having read all kinds of stories the above, we had some fears before arriving in Calgary. Our first apartment was in a tall building (21 floors?), Age 50 years. And the least we can say is that the insulation was nickel. 6 months later, same thing in our new apartment, located in a building of low height, age 30. So today, we stick to this version, generalize without either one way or the other. Having visited many houses ( showhomes , meals with friends, etc..) And even bought one, we now have a good idea of the quality workmanship of a home in Alberta (North American?). Made of wood, they are built faster, have better insulation in winter but hot in summer, and burn quickly in case of fire. It is therefore very different from the French houses built with concrete blocks, built to last, but less functional. Most French are critical of Canadian homes, most Canadians like their Canadian homes - everyone's opinion.
More generally, do not be surprised if we invest less in support of the Francophone community. We had been greatly aids our arrival in Calgary by the French, who themselves had already been helped to a French comes a year earlier, and the tone of the joke, they told us they now pass the baton, it was our turn. It's done, and the relay is going on. We turn now to the people with whom we have built a solid foundation, and with whom we share priceless moments, and enjoy our new life, that we enjoy:) And strongly Noel! :) *

Turn left, turn right under the snow
The code Canadian road (and by extension, its specificities Alberta) is somewhat different from the rules of the road french, but we made it pretty quickly. Finally, what surprises most is the fact turn right notwithstanding that the light is red. Ca surprised at first, and then we made it. Here the rule is valid almost everywhere in North America, and in all cases throughout Alberta (except-cons indication on the road), it is simple, according to Alberta Drivers Handbook : You can turn right at a red light after a full stop. Clearly, if you want to turn right, the red light stop value. Well, you soon realize that after a few days here. And then he
A few months ago, they told me they could do the same to the left, under the same conditions. Yes, it's surprising (that's the least we can say!) And I've never actually seen anyone doing this (except a way a way, of course) and I 've never done myself, so the maneuver seemed dangerous and not really permitted ... however, was not among those who think they know everything about everything, and was interested in the details around me, I plunged back into the 155 pages of Alberta Drivers Handbook (basic version, the version
complete is somewhat more thick:)), and here's what emerges: Turn left a red light, one-way street to another one-way street is permitted. Neither more nor less. So turn a shaft has a double meaning, has a one-way street, a red light is NOT - even to put himself in the 3rd lane, at night in addition - and in any other case involving a two-way street. However, looking a little further, we realize that turning a two-way street, a one-way street, the red light is allowed in BC - but you must put yourself in the lane closest (light, one that is on your left). Finally, some areas of eastern Canada, and 13 of the 50 American States, prohibiting turning left when the light is red, without exception.
Another person, a priori highly trustable (a lawyer), had also said that the permit was not an Alberta license points. Well actually, in time for her, time for me (That'll teach me to believe people's word:)), the Alberta license is a license has 16 points. Loss of possible points range from 2 (a rolling pin on a misinterpretation residential, half-turn forbidden, etc..) To 7 (to escape after an accident), to 5 points to overtake a school bus has the stop with its lights on (= plain, being ready to unload the kids jump on your wheels).

Black Boogers In My Cat's Nose
preparation for mom and dad
Saturday, we had our first day of pre-natal course. Program, baby care and Breastfeeding, 2h each (9am-11.30am and 13h-15h) . As we went about it later, we had little choice of dates and places. While we could have classes in Airdrie, we had to go to Calgary, which is not so bad since the course is held in the hospital to give birth or Celine ( Peter Lougheed Hospital , 25min road), it can become familiar with.
Considering the weather and the fact that roads schedules have not been plowed before the day on Saturday, we ended has 7 pairs instead of 12. We will not complain! Course interesting, fun teacher, nothing important was wrong, we recommend this course.
Between the two courses, we decided to go out and avoid the Ikea cafeteria '(which looks OK, but not the point) to brave the snowy roads (really, we do not regret for have bought a small SUV!) and go to the restaurant. Yeah, as have some fun:). We take this opportunity to test a chain of restaurants in Earls , deemed business casual. We were 2-3 tables in the restaurant (people are obviously leftovers home:)), suddenly the servers were very caring. Our impressions: pretty deco class' fares gently pulling up (avoid the fish and meat, plain!), excellent meals, a good address.
coming Saturday is the 3rd and last course (which lasts 4 hours this time), has Foothills Hospital (Calgary SW, 45min drive), on the preparation for childbirth.
In total, four courses are $ 120 in bills and not reimbursed by the mutual or secu. But it cleverly invested $ 120, which was a relief for mom (and dad a bit, too:)).
