Little bit prickly over there isn't it?

we get out OWN forum?? =) wow..
it's so quiet in here


hello


helloooooo



helloooo



(that was an echo.) just so you know..

It always is. With certain people, anyway. Never a dull moment.

It's always nice to come "home" though.

Hey stop trying to talk about us behind our backs.

haha Seems like certain people really like to be the boss and assert themselves pretty profoundly! haha

And Yes liz...we are here! I hear your echooo

Oh oh. Now you've done it.

Welcome to VJ!!!

i rarely post anywhere but here now!! Simple topics on the "off topic" section get off track so easy!

And some people get SOOOO defensive over NOTHING.

Can I just take a minute to say that you guys are so great on the canada bit here. I feel like we can talk about anything without getting all pissy and in bits over it!

We do not!!!!! Gosh!

haha exactly.

It's part of being Canadian! And kudos to the honourary Canadians that post here (the USCs that are married to Canadians).

Now if we all lived close together so we could go and have some drinks!

Seriously! It would be awesome to have a VJ meetup and we could all gripe about USCIS. We could compare how crappy our passport pics are and later on for some of us, our even CRAPPIER EAD or greencard pics!

Where am I I appear to be lost

I agree. They should try to make group meet ups though through VJ. There has to be some of us living close together! No one drinks like us canucks...well...maybe not but still!

we'd have to figure out where everyone is..

I'm in Mississauga / Toronto

in the States, I'll be in Alexandria (VA) / Washington..



now your turn =)

I don't think there are too many VJ Canadians living in my neck of the woods...

i live in the LA, California area...

I was from the Chilliwack, BC area

I'm in Richmond, VA (was from downtown Toronto)

I'm from Kitchener-Waterloo/Ottawa but now living in the NJ metro area (just outside NYC)

It will be good to know where you guys are though so if I ever come through your areas we can try to go out for a beer and make our own poutine

I'm in falls Church VA, but good look meeting me,lol Derekkj lived a few floors below me (Arlington VA)prior to moving, and we never met,lol Maybe some yr,lol

Hey, so Misa, Flames and I so far are VA / VJ members that could meet up!

Sounds like a plan! That is, if flames decides to show up!

Flames, are you too cool for us??

yeppers, lol!! I would possibly show up!! Depends where it was held,lol meg does like to dance

hmm, sounds intriguing... =) maybe we can do something in oct/nov =) I'm hoping to get an interview for then!

you wanna go dancing? like salsa dancing in a class or something? =)

Meg loves salsa dancing!! She spent her early child hood in South America (born to USA parents in Chile) I can't dance to save my life,lol

sweet!
then we'll go to one of those beginner classes! I've always wanted to learn! and Oliver would love the experience!

excited!

screw the classes, we shall all just drink and drink!! I'm an excellent drunk dancer,lol

=) sure sure..

but I like the salsa!

that'll be our first time get together.. it'll loosen everyone up! cuz we'll all be laughing!

like initiation into the group

I realize I'm not Canadian, and my SO is German (but they like to drink too!) but it's much calmer here than OT, and I don't speak German fluently enough to fully understand the German thread.

May I play here occasionally? I'm tired of people being pissy to me in OT for having an opinion

But of course you can, Jun!!

you can be an honorary-canuck

an OT refugee, if you will =)

Whew
Thanks!

I do live really really really near Canada if that helps. And sometimes we drive to Vancouver to go to the airport. Hee hee.

Unfortunately I have to go to work now, but I honestly do read the Canadian forum b/c you guys are much nicer than some threads!

welcome, jundp, honorary canuck refugee..!!

Is this the same as that "other" off topic place?
Might as well work on the blue boxes

How far is VA from Arkansas? I wanna drink too

Okay, Kingston, Ontario to
Searcy, Arkansas

I think the only other one close to me is going to be Ontarkie

=) yep, I'm onto my hearts!

lol

I'm off to see if I still have my silly third job right now.

You Canadians always put things so politely!




Promises, promises!

Dunno about the dancing part, but we are in Arlington and are always willing to drink!

Megs been away since April!! What else is there to do but drink,lol

alright.. looks like Arlington/Alexandria meet-up's gonna happen at some point..

Some point,lol

grew up from Kingston, moved here from Chatham, Ontario - 'here' is just south of Atlanta! Any other VJ Canucks in the area? - besides Joel -and honourary Canadian Karen - who are great and with whom we have already got together twice! (and hopefully many times more).

well, I'm not going to be in the area and you can't have a gathering without me!
I won't allow it

Of course you can play here.



LOL! Yeah, Arlington & Alexandria are 2 hours away from me. I'll have to rely on the boy to drive. We have a friend that lives in Arlington so I'll have to drag her out with us too.

jeesh! no one is close enough to come and play with me? There has to be a few Canadians in new york city! there's gotta!!!

Now I wanna drive down to VA just to be included in the salsa dancing + drinking.

Ps-all honourary canadians welcome , Jun. Come aboard!

Yeah, I tried to stay away from the "other" OT, and I'm really working on it I promise! Now that we have our own OT, I should be able to stay away. Wish there were a way to block certain forums...


You are MOST welcome! It IS calmer here and definately (ha! spelled it with an "A") easier to express oneself here.



This is BETTER than that other OT place.

Kathryn...thanks so much for calling me an honourary Canadian! Anyone in the Atlanta area...don't have to be a Canadian...let's try to work up a get together! Joel and I have very much enjoyed our times with Kathryn and her husband. We also met RebeccaJo and her hubby as well! Great time!

why is no one using the phrase "honorary-canuck REFUGEE!!!!!"

Consider me an "honourary Canuck refugee"! I'm to the point where I really can't stand (despise, hate, any other adjective you care to use) the other flamethrowing forum known as Off Topic!!!!
