Good morning everyone! Yes, Kathryn and Karen, I agree, BBQ here is not BBQ in Canada - it's a Canalien thing. So, for those of you about to enter the U.S. - unless there is smoke coming out of a chimney somewhere - it is not BBQ!

So I ordered the Sunday paper (which is huge btw) to be delivered and it was this morning, big article on the whole mortgage fiasco - interesting and also very hard for those caught up in it.

Since I am having said paper delivered, does that mean I am now a 'real' Florida resident? Oh, which reminds me, krikit, my Husband is thoroughly enjoying making U-turns here :thumbs:

You got that right. I was most disappointed when my husband took me for BBQ in NC for the first time. Definitely not what I was expecting. :blink:

Oh good. I'll have to read that when I get home. Was it the Olando Sentinel?

Oh, which reminds me, krikit, my Husband is thoroughly enjoying making U-turns here :thumbs:

:lol::thumbs:

I made one here the other day and my Mom nearly had a heart attack. I looked at her all innocent :innocent: and said "Oh. Is that not allowed here?" :lol:

Mmmmmm. Yummy. Definitely Europe. I can't wait! :dance: Still trying to pick a hotel in London. Anyone want to help? :lol:

Well, I'm quickly running out of time here. I have to be at my Cousin's house for 3:00pm, and I've a million things to do. I have managed to lose my parents' cat. If it's dead, I will be too. :lol:

I'm on my way to get groceries to bring back to the US with me. The shops are closed tomorrow due to May 2-4. Lots of fireworks going off last night. Probably more tonight. No idea how I am going to fit all my stuff into my suitcases. Might have to leave some things behind and bring them next time. :lol:

Oh find the cat!

Yes it is the front page of the Sentinel today. I also find it very interesting to look at all the flyers that come with that paper, the flyer section is HUGE!

I know. My husband loves it. Me... not so much. I let him clip all those coupons. :lol: He told me on the phone he was most upset that last Sunday's paper wasn't delivered and now he won't get the flyers. That happens a lot.... that they forget to deliver the paper. Very annoying. If you call before a certain time they'll redeliver. But he was at work last Sunday so he didn't realize until he got home. He was not a happy camper.

Oh look! There's the cat! :dance:

Hmmm. Just let the cat out. It's drizzling. Guess I can scratch "walk" off my list. :blush:

I agree, I find the flyers interesting now, because there are store flyers I have never seen. I have managed to clip out 2 coupons total in the 2 papers we have bought.

In a month or two I will, again, be laying the papers out on the floor and taking a picture and asking why these people are wasting so much paper!!

That's funny. I was thinking about that when you mentioned getting Sunday's paper. :lol: Wait until you start settling in and getting junk mail. It's absolutely mind-boggling.

Get her another machine and a router for her birthday. :lol:

my brain in fried.

After the overnight bus from toronto to buff, getting at buffalo airport at 3 am, flying at 6 am to get to MD, and then cabbing and metro and finally getting my butt here to VA at 9:30am on an hour of sleep the whole night...

and then doing the spreadsheet when I got home cuz I was so exhausted to the point I couldn't sleep anymore...

and then eating 4 chicken wings at noon to my fatal crash from then til just now..

wow i feel hazy.

I only get the Sunday paper--and I only get it for the coupons that come only on Sunday!! Rest goes into the recycling bin!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

I wish I had the same ability with the bag of doritos I just polished off - I should have left them and went for a walk.
