Well, finally arrived in the country with the help of a few dozen snow plows and sanding trucks. Don't ask what they are, if you don't know. You wouldn't want to experience the need for them. This Canadian Snowbird is about ready to spread her wings and fly south, only thing is I'm afraid they would freeze and drop off before I got very far. It was only -24 when we left the city this morning. To answer your question. Yes, I have one daughter who is now in her early twenties. When she turned twenty, she looked at me with pity and sympathy and said, "I am now old" I could see the rest of the thought in her eyes, "what does that make you, poor thing". Instantly, the thought flashed through my mind, "Free". Of course, I didn't articulate the thought out loud for fear of hurting her feelings. She was born when I was 21, so it was hilarious to think of myself as that old. Christine, was it a conscious decision to wait until you were thirty five to have a child? I know many women are waiting to have children today. They want to have their career first, then children. I know the obvious advantages to having a child first because that is what I did, what is the other side of this debate? I live in Northern Alberta, about 4 hundred kilometers north of Edmonton. My country place is about 150 kilometers east of Edmonton. Now you probably don't know where Edmonton is either, unless you look at a map of Canada. I hate to say this, Christine, but us Canucks know a lot more about your country than you know about ours. Maybe, because you consider us poor relatives. <<grin>> The poor old Loonie is sure looking very poor these days, worth less than .69 US. This Snowbird will have to stay put until monetery value of the Loonie improves, I am sad to say.. Carol

Queen Elizabeth has awarded Elton John a knighthood. He will be known hencforth as Sir Elton. That's the way to kiss a--, Your Majesty, public opinion does count. Christine, stop with the mopping floors, baking pecan pies and come out and play. 0:-( Thank you for the comment about the double chin, now I will never give my little friend two lips again I heard that Michael Jackson's nose is about to drop off, due to all the plastic surgery he had on it. Of course, my source is the "National Enquirer".
