MMMMMM Poutine!!!

this word has a diffrent meaning in the USA... :blush:

I guess..I don't know what it means for you but to me poutine is french fries with this really nice melty cheese and a brown gravy type sauce on them.

Very bad for you but ohhh so good

I dont think VJ has changed any. :P

I see new members coming all the time, and really thats great. Some post alot, some dont. With older members some stay, some leave. Its always been like that since I joined 2 years ago.

There are some people on here that just like cant get along with people. Thats just their personality.

There are others that just read most of the time, and dont get involved with the drama. I am one of those people. I first joined VJ, to learn how to get my visa. Which I have done with the help of so many great people on VJ. I have learned a great deal here, and am very thankful for the chance to be able to do so. I just dont get involved with other peoples arguments. Its just not who I am.

To me VJ is just the same as it always has been. A great place to help one another thru this long process.

Dunno what to say really...because many of you newbies just won't get it....but it ain't the same around here no more and the way you all choose to go at each other or others at the slightest provocation is the reason VJ is slipping.

So like another very longstanding VJ'er who has left here today...it's time for me to also say 'Adios'.

To my friends, who know who they are....I wish you the best of everything and if you want to stay in touch PM me. I am going to set up a site for a select few who know how to truly care, advise and support each other. On that site members will be invited, so I guess if you don't get an invite you know your past actions here were not always appreciated!

To the rest of you....shame on you for turning this site into something many of us no longer want to be a part of....great job guys!

Cool. Send me one of those invites.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

:lol: Typical of VJ that when you can't be bothered to read all the post and want to say something, that by the time you get to the end of the thread, its changed subject :lol::lol:

I just wanted to add my 2p worth by saying what a lot of you have already said really, that VJ has its ups and down, always has done and always will do - blah de blah de blah - it goes on and on really! VJ has had some REALLY, REALLY, REALLY bad times and rows that want to make you crawl under the rug and stay there - but its always died down again. Have to admit though, that it is not the same, but then again, nothing stays the same for ever! And now I'm finished babbling :whistle:

I wish whoever it is that is leaving/left well.
