RE: Quebec is FREE at last! Now pay us half of our National Debt!!

Of course it is.

The anti-separatists will be mad he gave as much as an acknowledgment.

The separatists will be mad that he denied what they wanted.

The people on the fence/people who don't care will be mad he isn't addressing their issues.

To think, I was sick of this when it was still the Meech Lake Accord.

RE: Is it is better to be a failure ...

I don't speak Everyday, or French, or many other languages.

RE: Quebec is FREE at last! Now pay us half of our National Debt!!

It's in the shop ... Photoshop.

RE: Is it is better to be a failure ...

I've had light dealings with fortune cookies.

All I was saying was don't limit yourself by choosing.

RE: Is it is better to be a failure ...

If you can't be a success at something you love, be a success at something you hate but find time to fail at what you love.

RE: Quebec is FREE at last! Now pay us half of our National Debt!!

He's saying that Quebec gets a disproportionate amount of government funding compared to the rest of the country. He is correct on that point.

John - could you not have made your point without another jaded remark towards Natives?

RE: Do Tears Ever Run OUt??

As long as the body has water the tear ducts will generate tears. They're what lubricate the eyes after all.

It might be theoretically possible but you would be on the brink of death or dead due to dehydration.

RE: Quebec Nationhood?

It's not out of the blue. The BQ was going to put forth something similar declaring Quebec a Nation without the part of Canada being inclusive.

He's being proactive ... and probably losing the votes he would have needed in Quebec. Here comes another election.

RE: Ladies, meet my little brother

That is odd, you mix the corn into the potatoes before you add the gravy.

RE: Riddle me this

You were born in Alaska before we sold it. He was born after we sold it.

RE: Ever wonder...

Scientific explanation, just google it.

The mouth position likely effects the amount of pull on the skin around the eye, thus making it easier to apply properly with mouth agape.

Many times the acidic proprties of a lemon may be detremental to what you're cooking, but is beneficial to cutting through grease.

Cause and effect.

Cats don't eat mice, they hunt and toy with them for sport.

He was too busy trying to keep it to 2 rabbits.

Medical ritual.

The 'wool' hasn't been processed yet.

Yes

Because it's the of a structure.

RE: What would chairs look like if our knees bent the other way?

If our knees bent the other way we would walk on all fours.

There would be no need for chairs.

RE: Whitby Get-Together November 11

I'm not judging anyone, or reading anything into the date chosen but here's how November 11 works for me ...

There are several functions I have always attended every November 11th. Since the birth of my children there are more. There is no way I could do all that needs done then have the time or energy left to attend any sort of get together. I have 364 other days to enjoy what I have been given.

My apologies if I seemed judgemental, was just trying to offer an explanation as to why 4 people had signed up at that point.

I honestly hope it goes off well for the attendees.

RE: Whitby Get-Together November 11

Just a thought ... perhaps people have something else planned on November 11th, every year.

RE: Gibs

Lurking indeed.

I'll add couple coppers when I feel the need.

As for me and "Bella" breaking up, just a bump in the road and an experience to grow ... together. There will be no more public discussion on it by me or her.

Now please let this thread die the slow death.

RE: ~~~Something Wikked This Way Comes~~~

Welcome to Canada.

RE: What Intimidates You??

No idea, not googling.

RE: What Intimidates You??

Indeed, but one can only dance so close to the flames.

RE: what does the age...........

Age is just a number to some, I tend to agree for the most part

I almost get the impression you're actually facing this currently by your post. Correct me if I'm off and it's just a generic query. If a lady has said that an age gap is a factor, it's probably best to find a gal who doesn't view age in the same manner.

Yep, she defintely gave you the wrong impression.

The "Do Something -- Anything New" Thread

Gibs is well aware, the whole idea was doing something AFTER a challenge ... Lorraine muffed it too so I gave up

RE: winter or summer what do you like better

Sanity is overrated.

I'm going to have to go with winter. Something about so many things hiding themselves waiting to be reborn anew in the spring appeals to me.

What must the caterpillar be thinking? Sorry, that's off topic

Plus Canada has some of the best winters on the planet

RE: Canada and it's role in the war

Well said.

RE: sooooo sooorreeeee !!!

Regular stretching.

Hmmm, no cookie orders .... maybe Canada likes the light fluffy sych as "You will have good luck and overcome many hardships" to the ones I am serving like "Make a napkin your friend"

No hurries ..... bound to be a slow game
