That's sensible, juliana.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

I'll be honest, I'm getting all of our paperwork ready to move to Canada if necessary. M & Peanut are both fine, they're both Canadian citizens, it's just me that might have difficulties. But I finally got my passport back (after sending it in on March 1), so I've got that going for me.
I don't blame you a bit, juliana.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
juliana, I don't blame you a bit, either; I wish I had that option. My grandfather was Canadian but I don't think that gets me in. I can't leave my sister anyway, and I doubt she'd be willing to uproot her life to go anywhere.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I also wish I had that option. My family came from Canada at one point, but I'm guessing the 18th century is a little too far back.

So, I did forget a bill - my water bill is due bimonthly so it's easy to forget. Actually looked at the bill to confirm the due date and noticed that my water usage for April-June was 0, which somehow makes my bill $150. Ain't that a thing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
None of that sounds right!

It could be that they aren't reading meters and that's just some standardized charge. Looked weird, though.

Juliana I would do that if I were you!! Sadly I have no Canadian connection.

My mother's parents are from Canada, and her second oldest brother was born there. When I looked into it for her, it did not seem my mother could claim her citizenship.
My cousin's father (the 2nd oldest brother mentioned above) was born in Canada, but eventually became a US citizen, along with our grandmother.
That cousin said she's looked into it, can claim her citizenship, and says my mother can, too. I don't think she's correct in what she's told my mother, but I can't be arsed to argue or look into it further.

Granted I looked into it three years ago and things may have changed, but my understanding was that grandparents - but not parents - being born in Canada did not get you Canadian citizenship. I'd love to be wrong; if I could get Canadian citizenship I'd hunt down my grandfather's immigration papers with a quickness.
