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

Of course you can play here. :)

Some point,lol

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!

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

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

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... :whistle:

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 :)

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

Is this the same as that "other" off topic place?

Might as well work on the blue boxes :)

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!

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!!!!

I just don't get why everyone gets so uptight about stuff in there. I hate that internet, holier than thou, attitude! They want to debate issues but don't want to hear the other side. See there are a few brits on the forum too that tend to be a bit... :whistle:

its not all bad in there :(

you just have to stay out of certain threads which are easy to spot :whistle:

True that, but it does seem that there are a lot more of "those threads" to avoid than acutal ones that can be discussed without flamethrowing. :)

The problem is, is that I'm like Karencee. I like discussing stuff so it is hard for me to stay outta there. It is a lot easier for some people to belittle others over the internet than it is for them to do it in real life.

And yes, Karen, at a loss for words is the right way to put it.

I'm in the KW area in Ontario, and will be near Amarillo, TX when I move. I think Canucks are few and far between in that area ...

Our little Canadian forum is such a friendly place, I love it. People make fun of the 'Canadian politeness' but it certainly allows us to talk about hot-button issues (like illegal immigration) without exploding in a flaming dramabomb.

And welcome to the refugees! :lol:
