The subliminal messages ...A Velez: don't worry. The subliminal messages in all Canadian TV and radio will soon have you 'nice'. Even Don Maass, the year after he married his Canadian wife, was bemoaning the fact that he now had to be nice. It's infectious.<br /><br />Amy: Interesting. But I suppose I can see that. Especially in areas that don't go very far north. Here, I live in southern Saskatchewan, but it's still over 150 miles to the US border, and about 4 hours to the nearest ND city of Minot. Most of the population in Saskatchewan and Alberta is farther north. <br /><br />Around here, having an 'American address' isn't normal at all. And unless you lived right along the US border, you'd really get side-eyed if you admitted to having one.BJ Muntainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12977414826388000094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-79073800475873773882015-09-29T09:18:57.171-04:002015-09-29T09:18:57.171-04:00Congrats to everyone but especially the winners!
...Congrats to everyone but especially the winners!<br /><br />This contest was something of a challenge to me since I've been without my computer for most of the month (<i>gasp!</i>). I've been making occasional trips into town to use the library computers, which will do in a Pynch. Our beloved Geek, Sam, says our hard drive could no longer handle the job; I blame it on Mercury being in retrograde.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868642232827730189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-2638763447248534702015-09-29T07:16:36.247-04:002015-09-29T07:16:36.247-04:00I'm one of those 90% Canadians.

We're two weeks away from opening with a double cast and in a 2-person play there's no room for error so I've been in my line-learning cocoon. Checked in for half a second on Sunday morning and said "Oh no! There was a contest and I missed it!" but the little voice in my head said "No, you haven't." <br /><br />So there I was in the church parking lot fifteen minutes before I had to sing for Mass going "What can I do with this?"<br /><br />That's an addiction, but a happy one.<br /><br />Have a great week, y'all and congrats to the winners and finalists!CynthiaMchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12175917641033760408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-47136475616489814842015-09-29T04:13:58.726-04:002015-09-29T04:13:58.726-04:00BJ Muntain: I agree - getting a package delivered ...BJ Muntain: I agree - getting a package delivered is so much nicer.
