As we celebrate our first anniversary of SIM-only wireless, it’s the Public Mobile Community who deserves the applause.
Your unflagging loyalty, feedback, and support make each day even better than the last.
To mark the occasion, everyone who joined Public Mobile in February, 2015 will receive a commemorative anniversary badge ϑ And, the Top Contributors from Feb-Dec 2015 will get a pizza party delivered to their home, with three large pizzas and beverages to share with their friends!
If you know someone in the Community who deserves a special mention, we’d love to hear it. Let us know who helped and how, so we can give them the accolades they deserve.
Thanks for being a part of this growing Community, and here’s to an even better Year Two!

@Martin Excellent nap. It was the speacial 24 hour one to recharge the batteris; whoops you are not supposed to be aware of those batteries that use Geritol for fuel.

I don't know how long you plan to live in the land of the free and cold, but Timmie's is off-limits to all criticism, regardless of one's citizenship. It's a national icon, which personifies the best of Canadians, namely, regular folk, unknown to one another, seated at the same table, engaged in chat, such as "Cold day, eh?" "Yep, it's mighty cold, eh!" "How about them Maple Leafs, eh?" "They should fold the team, eh!" and so on.
Well, hopefully a very long time - which is why I censored myself regarding the magnificent, wonderous, awe-inspiring, Timmies.

@Martin, @7789849803, being an American I was keen to learn the language of junk food when we came to Canada - though the varieties are quite small compared to what I grew up with in midwest USA, especially for sugar cereals...
I actually used the term 'corn dog' once and got blank stares..."oh, you mean a pogo stick?"...and thus began my bewilderment.
Another interesting one which confuses me every halloween when I take my daughter trick-or-treating - Smarties vs. Rockets (http://www.torontomike.com/2011/03/american_smarties_vs_canadian.html)
And don't get me started on the so-called "regular" coffee at Tim Hortons...
EDIT: Link above corrected

This community is so educational! I'd never heard the term "pogo stick" used in that sense (yet)!
Haha...good to know what to call it, the next time I need to order some super unhealthy food 🙂

Hi @Rockdaddy22,
To be honest, I'm surprised to not see your name on the list as I have always appreciated your thoughtful and clear responses to members in the community (including one of my first posts on PM regarding my activation process).
I can only imagine how hard it is for PM to decide who to include in their recognition of community members, especially since there are so many excellent contributors!

Woohoo!! Congrats everyone and thanks for the pizza party!
@Martin, I was pleased to see your mention of corn dogs - I still can't get used to calling them 'pogo' sticks. Bubba sounds like a truly enlightened individual.

Hi @NDesai,
Thank you for accepting my post in the good humour that was intended. 🙂
I access the community from my Moto G only. As such, I don't have spell check. What I do have is strict auto-correct and next-word suggestion. When I first started using my phone, I didn't realize how strict auto-correct was; my eyes refused to believe what I had posted in some cases. To say the least, there were many instances of post-publishing editing. Now, I try to very carefully watch what I'm typing while I'm typing. Before publishing a post, I'll review it, and there are still some typos that escape my attention.
Good luck in developing a spell checker. Iff knot, thay lerned mee goode inn skool two reed dem bigg wurdss!

Hi @NDesai,
I've always been a supporter of the underdog.
Considering that Dever has no record whatsoever, it must be a very new team.
I hope that, with your pizza and pop (and beer?), you'll be rooting for Dever! 🙂
Cheers.
Typo, it's Denver lol
I think i should post a new idea of spell check...its a must and i m kinda missing it here..

Superbowl 50 (Denver vs Carolina) is this Sunday!
Some of us can have this perfect time to do Pizza Party 🙂

Thank you for the warm-hearted cold welcome, @Martin 🙂
Kits is not as cheap anymore, though (even though the cars mist just as much water at pedestrians there)...so those of us with affordability concerns have to live further out of the city (as does chuk, FYI).

Congratulations
Looking forward to another great year of innovation and value.

Record low for the city is -17.8 (but -27.8 with wind chill). And yes, all homes have central heating. This is still Canada after all...despite all the claims of it being the "Hawaii of Canada"! 🙂

Cheers from "Raincouver" (not sure if you have a copyright on this as well) - where it's supposed to be -16° this weekend!
Wanna trade cities?
