Random thoughts...
I love new comments on my blog... and from people I don't know, woohoo!

Nomennovum said "Believe me, you all say "eh," whether you realize it or not ... and, even if you don't, it's implied." This is often the case. Major Man points out that I often substitute 'Hey' for 'eh'... but it is purty much the same durn thing.

But I might point out, Nomennovum, that your college roomate was from ONTARIO. The most definitely say EH there a lot... that is also the home of ABOOT. Since Calgary is one of the fastest growing cities in Canada, we have a lot of non-Calgarians here... I always try figure out if a waiter or waitress is 'not frum 'round here' by the accent they have. I kick butt on the Ontario accent spotting.

You may notice that I do not actually HAVE a life.

But good point about the bathroom/washroom thing. I actually paused while writing that one to figure out which term was US and which was Canuck... obviously I chose the wrong one. LOL

Major Man has some friends back home in Indiana that make it a holiday sport to pick on me and the words I use. The problem is that Canadians are very self depracating (and not, I might add, self depreciating as I once mis-spoke) and we have much more fun laughing at our own goofy selves than at anyone else.

Except the weather. The weather is not funny. Especially today when it is EIGHT degrees outside. That's celsius so... pause while I find an online temperature converter... 46 F.

Too funny...I just came back from Houston and we had to ask for some cutlery at a restaurant we were at...the server looked at us blankly and we had to repeat ourselves twice...only to remember they call it "silverware" down there. And no washroom/bathroom either....restroom all the way!
