Unemployed Ohio man chills out in extreme igloo

Jimmy Grey says he's been out of work for almost a year and needed a project to stay busy. So with the heavy snowfall this winter, the 25-year-old laborer got to work on an extreme igloo in his family's yard in Aquilla (ah-KWIL'-uh), about 30 miles east of Cleveland.

His four-room creation has 6-foot ceilings and an entertainment room. He powers the TV with an extension cord plugged into an outlet in the garage. He also ran wires for cable television with surround-sound stereo.

Grey says candles help add ambiance for nighttime get-togethers with friends, and the freezing temperatures mean that the beer never goes warm.

It was his maid's day off.

Grey has been unemployed for over a year but can still can afford cable TV.

Extended unemployment benefits?

It's the family home, if his dad wants to pay for cable for his son's igloo, who are you to tell him he can't?

If I was the dad, I'd be happy he was living in the igloo instead of in the main house, fair exchange is no robbery

'Layed off'? Thought it was 'laid off'. *shrug*

Since Vancouver has won the chance to host the 2010 Winter Olympics, these are some questions people from all over the world are asking.

Q: Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada? (USA)

A: Only at Thanksgiving.

That's not such a ridiculous question. Canadian Thanksgiving = 2nd Monday of October.

Why Monday, not Thursday? Why Oct instead of Nov? Now those are ridiculous questions!

[CDAgirlMI 51]

The origins of Canadian Thanksgiving are more closely connected to the traditions of Europe than of the United States. Long before Europeans settled in North America, festivals of thanks and celebrations of harvest took place in Europe in the month of October. The very first Thanksgiving celebration in North America took place in Canada when Martin Frobisher, an explorer from England, arrived in Newfoundland in 1578. He wanted to give thanks for his safe arrival to the New World. That means the first Thanksgiving in Canada was celebrated 43 years before the pilgrims landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts!

So the question now is:

why do Americans celebrate on a Thursday & not Monday?? November & not October?
