There's always tomorrow

And yes, it's amazing what operators say. Thankfully, most VJ members know the truth

LOL...that's too true! I've found myself going into "call center mode" with them, when they say "give us 10-20 more days". Smile, nod, tune them out and say "that sounds great, thank you very much, no you've been helpful!" Meanwhile, inside I'm saying "Pfft, talk to you in a couple hours honey "

Holy hell, there's an Indian restaurant here that has a butter chicken poutine but I haven't tried it. Seriously considering it now.

Oh, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE creme eggs! Creme eggs > poutine

OK. Ready for Unca Darnell's Quick-Fire Guide to Luscious Creme Eggs?

Creme Eggs are sold in copious amounts in USA for about 4 weeks, starting 4 weeks before Easter and going through the Easter weekend.

Cadberry's Cream Egg is the do-all, be-all, end-all for comparison in USA, but

there are many knock offs. When you see the Cadberry's Creme Egg in the candy section at yer store, look around, as the knock offs will be close by.

If you are thrifty and have a freezer, can buy Easter Creme Eggs the week AFTER Easter for 50 to 80 percent discount, but plan to buy 20 kilos, to last you through the year.

I know what I'll be eating when I'm in Montreal for my interview...

I would live off of these if I could. Creme eggs are too sweet for me

You know, I've been doing that the whole time! Those poor people - they don't understand, once you've dealt with truckers complaining for hours about the condition of truck stop washrooms, NVC automatons make NO difference to you!

I know what I'll be eating when I'm in Montreal for my interview...

OH. MY. WORD. *drools on laptop keyboard, laptop is now a sizzling mess...* I'll have what she's having!

look - when yer in Montreal, this is gonna be one of the last times, this year, for you to get yer poutine fix.

You should plan ahead for this, make a 'poutine tour' for several days, taking in all the various places within a 4 km radius of the US Consulate that are on the train line.

It's fun, and keeps you relaxed.

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS CHOCOLATE, lol...please defrost the eggs before eating! You'll break a tooth if you don't!

So much cheese in my system, show up to interview a gassy, butt-burping mess. They approve me just to get me out. This will be my plan.

Oh, I know exactly when creme eggs become available. I work at Target, so I know And I also know how they go on sale after the holiday. And with my 15% discount (10% employee discount, 5% store discount), it'll be SUPER cheap after Easter. I'm gonna start saving some money and stock up on a LOT

I've not heard of butt-burping in a coupla decades. That's priceless.

Don't forget, after you are out of the Consulate, to have 2 more days of poutine imbibing.
