Hey fellow Canucks,

I just want to say thank you!!! I am so happy that we live up to our Canadian reputation and that we are all peaceful and get along and none of our threads result in the juvenile crap that has occurred in some other threads.

I would expect nothing less from fellow Canadians.

I like LBT....but I LOVE our Canuck thread.

Thank you all for being you and for being true, north, strong and free!

I think we just know when to shut-up. I also feel the need to express my opinion now and then. The difference is I don't need to have the last word, and I don't need to convert people to my way of thinking.

There, my 2 cents worth!!

I have been reading outside the Canadian boarders . Wow These people really need to watch tv or go outside or something.

I have always said I wanted to live in america but obviously they have nothing to do there. :deadhorse:

I like it here. :canada:

We are a peace keeping country!!

Hi green - and anyone else who cares lol --- to answer your questions - I'll have to ask my Mom if she remembers where all my dad's dad is from - I know for sure Alberta - his sister lived there (I think all of her life) but I don't think any of his family is living any longer....I'm in Illinois - outside of Chicago....I'll have to ask my Mom if she remembers why my grandpa moved here - I was young and newly married with a baby when he passed away - I sure wish I had retained/remembered more - in his last years he talked A LOT about his childhood memories, life in Canada, etc....it was my favorite time - listening to him talk about his life, and his favorite saying was "believe you me" - he was the only one in our family who ever said it - then I went to college and a girl said it (she was from Canada too) lol - sorry if this is too much info - it's nice to think about all of this

OT - I think all of the drama comes from just too many people in one place at one time - I honestly think that it could happen here too, if it grew too large to hold all the people - ya know....I'd just ignore it all - do ya think I can become Canadian by proxy? lol Everyone IS much nicer and saner (a word?) here - thanks!

Thanx M, for your interesting post, and no, it wasn't too long. I never realised that "believe you me" was a Canuck thang. As for being an honorary Canadian, well, it seems to me that you have not only got Canadian ancestors, you've got a corner of your heart that is devoted to Canada, too, so why not, eh?

I've never been to Chicago but I've been told by a number of people that it is one of the nicest and most interesting American cities. I would like to go one day in the future. Maybe when I am a size 12....

If you look anywhere else on the board, anything pertaining to P'nut (Photonut) or Delarla, you'll find the stuff I'm referring to. A good place to start (or better yet, save your self and don't bother!) would be in the Rants N' Raves section... http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=23006

But this stuff is ALL over the place.

I checked this stuff out today, and you are right, it is petty, weird, and boring.:notagree

Thanks folks for the warm and expected welcome! I'll stop in now and then - fairly busy back at college these days - but they let us breathe now and then lol - have a great day!

P.S. - forgive me when I forget and talk about U.S. holidays LOL and don't know Canadian holidays

Common saying in Canada anyhow eh? ROFL.........hi all!
