A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Thanks for all the fish.

More than just roots, I thought. Where her hair was braided you could really see a dark underside, like only the top layer of hair was bleached.

I want miniature cheeseburgers!

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Ack. I'm all over-excited and having trouble concentrating on work. I got a phone call last night saying that my mortgage pre-approval is done, and I met with a real estate agent last week. Now I'm freaking out.

I haven't even looked at any houses yet, but that is soon to come. Ulp.

Hello! I must be going.

Hello Canadians! Hope you all made it OK through the storm.

There's an East-West Canada Smackdowngoing on at the Straight Dope Message Board I thought you might find amusing.

Ouise, that is so eciting! I love house hunting.

I see that the other thread seems to consider Ontario the East.

Heh, yes. My friend Nico (from Alberta) and I had some discussions on that point. He seemed to feel that only the exact east-west midpoint of Canada could be referred to as "central Canada" and was very surprised that I did, in fact, know where that midpoint was.

I tend to consider Quebec and the Atlantic provinces "eastern Canada", Alberta and B.C. "western Canada" and Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan "central Canada", but the really important division is into "has a coastline" vs. "is unimportant" :)

Most people west of Quebec think of Atlantic Canada as a big national park.

Thanks for all the fish.

See, BC is 'pacific', AB, SK & MB is 'western' ON & PQ is 'central' and the Atlantic provinces are, ah, 'atlantic'... Though, I suppose one could lump Quebec and points East as 'eastern'.

Manitoba is generally not considered central because, well, Manitoba is generally not considered.
