Is that the Canadian side? Because I can imagine they'd be British-ish culturally.
There is no single Canadian side. Both my parents are Canadian. They met in Vancouver while Mother was at Royal Columbian and Dad was at UBC. Blind date. True facts!
Mother's side was the more rural of the two, though. Dad's family moved back and forth between Vancouver Island and Vancouver. They were at least acquainted with running water and indoor plumbing. And, quite possibly, dentists. I'd have to ask Dad about that.
Aww, heck, erika, I'm proud. Don't really care what gets you there, as long as you get there. *g* (Adrian - tiny, tiny check is in the mail)
It was not uncommon for carriers to ditch their mail instead of delivering it.
Happens in Chicago all the time!
Aims! Aims! Very Very odd casting for a regional theatre production of Steel Magnolias.
Cathy Rigby AKA perky American gymnast turned actress who did Peter Pan forever as M'Lynn.
Michael Learned, AKA Ma Walton, as Ouiser.
Brain is spinning...
Every few years there'll be a story about some mail carrier who turns out to have been either throwing away or hoarding mail they didn't feel like delivering. Years ago there was a story about an entire rail car full of mail that had gotten misplaced and left on a siding for YEARS.
And, catching up:
I didn't know there was anyone alive who knew less about that shit than me.
There's always John McCain ... although his being alive has been questioned.
And Sparky isn't plain evil - she's PRETTY evil.
The local paper had a story about Disney buying Marvel, with a bunch of humorous things that might come out of the merger, including: Beauty has a new Beast. His name's Thor. His hammer's enormous.
(waits for the snorfles)
The hammer is his penis.
Is it a ballpeen hammer? Because that has "ball" and "peen" right in the name and is hence more amusingly genitalacious.
Hee, Toddson. Mos def.
Smonster, you'd probably make him nostalgic for his indie-festival film period where tiny checks were probably the order of the day.
Some women work out for their crushes. I use less water(Adrian), learn about the designated hitter(Keith) and where Chechnya is(Rachel)
Pointless unsated lust is apparently very good for my knowledge base, if not my peace of mind.

True dat. But Thor's hammer was not a ballpeen, IIRC. (Nor was Captain Hammer's, who I was quoting.)
