lol, i hear ya....im addicted to facebook.....especially with all these new applications coming out!
Well, it looks like the cup won't be coming back to Canada. I'd support the Ducks if they didn't have Chris Pronger on the team. He's right up there with Don Cherry & by that I mean Canadians I cannot stand. I loathe Don's pro-Eastern Canada & anti-European atttitude. I mean, western Canada is just as good. Sorry Don, but Toronto isn't the centre of Canada. Also, what's wrong with Europeans? I am first generation Canadian which means my entire family are practically Europeans. Luckily hockey is done which means I don't have to hear him run his mouth. And don't get me started on Chris Pronger...

omg...pronger....
i feel the same way as you!! and no its not only because of how he left edmonton last year!! but i am happy for the neidermayer brothers and todd marchant! and teemu selanne, after waiting 15 years he finally got his stanley cup and i'll be happy to see the cup back in Canada, even if it wasn't with the Sens :lol:lol ok back to the topic of cute goslings (other than Ryan...sorry) today drivers alolng yellowhead trail in edmonton pulled over to help goslings and a couple geese (im assuming the parents of the goslings) cross the highway....so cute

well, i found out that for a mere $175 i could have met my favourite canadian. a man hosted a party/fundraiser for the heart and stroke foundation just outside of london, and rick mercer was the entertainer!! not that i have that much money to throw around or anything, but it still would have been awesome!

64 hours of correction done and still not half done yet *oh id appreciate the feds a lot more if they didnt lose my income tax chaque in the mail. im a college kid who needs to pay off some of my credit card debt with that money!! well that and so many other things but thats a whole other rant.

thanks! 
Whew I haven't been here in a long time. It's been oh...20-some pages? :lol:
Ugh, the mail system is completely insane in Canada. I was supposed to get my T4 slip earlier this year but I hadn't worked for a few months so the place didn't send me my tax forms. They say they 'forgot'. Anyway, I finally got all my tax stuff done and I still didn't get any money back because the place I worked at didn't tax me. Ah the facts of life. *sigh*
What I hate though is the mail lady steals our mail. Not that Canada Post cares but I swear I'm going to follow that woman and get my mail back.

Shelbers that's neat that you're sending a Canadian-type package to your friend out of the country. Have you put one of those little Canadian flags in the package? They're always fun for July 1st and such but then there's the question of what to do with them after. :lol:

(and im thinking not because i just mailed the form to get a new cheque liike 2 days ago). but sure enough there was my income tax cheque PLUS my GST cheque!! *rejoices*
now if i can just get a hold of that bank lady about my student line of credit - apparently leaving messages doesnt work. all i want to know is if i got the approval, is that too much to ask of the RBC????
now back to a happy place, it was actually WARM today! it seems like all its been doing in calgary since i came home for the summer is raining.
and yeah a little canadian flag would be good, but see im most likely gonna be sending it after july 1, lol. but ill keep it in mind

So, I work at a Safeway store, which is unionized. And apparently, the union made a deal that says that if Canada day falls on a sunday, the store will be open that day, and closed on the monday. So, I have to work on Canada day, and I don't get paid any extra for it being a statutory holiday. Grr
ok is anyone else getting sick of the rain?? i mean dont get me wrong, i like the rain, and yeah i know that farmers love it too. since i moved back home, ive had maybe a week of warm sunny weather. lol.
and as for the spice girls, i think im alrught with that, besides even if they did have a canadian date for their tour it would've been in Toronto, Vancouver or maybe Montreal. none of which i have any hope of getting to. hehe.
as for concerts im actually going to be able to see....thats what I love about Stampede - awesome concerts for gate admission
