Living in the US - Where we say TO MA TOE and you say TO MAH TOW

[alipiggie]

Wow we filled the thread guys. So as I was about to Say UR you've probably had squirrel if you've eaten Chinese . Think I've had most things. Just don't ask eat. Roasting hot here, very busy but having a blast. Enjoyed our new gym yesterday and picnic in the park tonight which was wonderful. Live music, handsome young men - need I say more.

Are any of you near Burnaby Vancouver?

me
i live in Langley 30-45 min from Burnaby/Van
what do you need?

OMG, I have contacted more than 15 babysitters and still can't find one

[very stressed emoticon]

Oh, do any of you ever shop in Aldi? We have one fairly close but it is in a scary neighbourhood. If it were worth going, I'd try it but I don't know anyone who shops there. I used to go in England in my student days and seem to remember it being ok. Is it the same here?

I went to an Aldi once in TN but was not very impressed.

ali, I hope the fires get under control soon.

Hi Jacksmama!! Don't need anything, but thank you for asking, my adorable great uncle is having a park built & named after him there and I am so proud of him, he's such a lovely man

Yes to new thread. I don't understand the title though. Am I being thick?

Will try out Aldi if we are going past but won't go out of my way. Thanks!

lol, superbunny - Home on the Range...

Jacksmama - my Auntie & Cousin live in Langley too! That's where my snow photo was taken! lol

Jabber am in the process of (finally) arranging drinks with your nephew

Will update as and when LOL

What a lot of snow!

Yes that is most definitely what it looked like here over Christmas... it was great... [hollow laugh emoticon]

That's cool about your great-uncle... so what's his name? (Can't be private if they're naming a park after him!)

I asked my auntie to send some snow our way - she said we were welcome to it! Uncle was getting fed up with clearing the driveways, they've only been there a month having moved from Victoria to be close to my cousin & babies! My G Uncle is Jim (James) Lorimer, they haven't done the official ceremony yet, but have done lots of work on a park and play area and put the plaque up already. I love him to bits, he's very old now but still got a twinkle in his eyes!

Fires out - yeah. Friend's house survived. Although apparently it looks very surreal up there with the fire line right up to the houses and all houses untouched. To the Men and Women of the Colorado Fire Service - most of whom are volunteers - YOU ROCK!!!!!! They really are the best.

Busy totally manic at work, no break in sight for at least another year. No support with the boys either. But other than that Life is Good.

Thank goodness Ali

Bubblerock, what an honour for your uncle.

New Thread here but feel free to fill this one up first if you prefer.

I'll be ever so if Cali was taking the piss with the suggestion.

Oh HOORAY!

It arrived v quickly - am glad.
