I'll take a kruller!
They taste like Frosted flakes to me. I love that...

Can you stop my Second Cup and get me a large coffee to go with that?

Thanks, Krikit!

I am eating some dark, orange flavoured chocolate. My lovely co-worker got it for me because she noticed that I've been really down lately. That and a card with a bunch of smiles on it.

I thought it was a nice thing to do. Anyone want some chocolate?

I really love my new job, I was supposed to be part-time until January and they asked me to start full-time in 2 weeks! They said they are happy with me and can see I am a great addition to their team luv.gif Everyone is so sweet and nice there. I was kind of looking forward to part-time for a few months laughing.gif But I'll be happy to be full-time! More money and responsibility, yay!!

That's great!! I'm still loving the fact I'm not working..laughing.gif Course, by spring it may be a different story..


Well, my Nanaimo Bars were a hit today!! Even without the custard powder..*but then, no one here knew any difference..laughing.gif * And I also made some butter tart squares. They turned out good, but for some reason didn't *quite* taste like butter tarts, probably because it wasn't in tart shells. I gotta find some of those or at least the foil cups to make my own pastry. *Ugh...very difficult...I've done it before* The main thing is Tim liked them...

Gotta bring in some Canadian cooking around here...And the fact the Naniamo Bars were founded only an hour away from where I grew up!! smile.gif

Ha!
That is nasty and hilarious.
I have never had that stuff before but... I was going to buy it for this Thanksgiving to go with apple crumble – I'd made two, one normal and one for a diabetic friend who was there. I figured instead of ice cream, they could have some cool whip. I read the ingredients and promptly put it back as it's made with petroleum products and chemicals.

No ####### your stomach was a mess -- that stuff is poison. I'd go with the whipped cream route. Diabetic friend ended up having ice cream anyway...

When I was a kid... - none of these stories ever end good by the way - the "when I was a kid" ones. laughing.gif

BUT when I was a kid, I ate a whole tub of cool whip... it was at thanksgiving and my cousin brought it down to the basement where we were playing with two spoons and he had like 3 bites and then ran off to do something else. Well, I just kept on eating it.... until the entire tub was gone. After I was finished I was SO sick, but didn't want to tell anyone what I had done. So it was time for dinner and I was literally laying on the floor moaning and groaning, and no one knew what was wrong with me. I started bawling and told my mom that I was dying and that my stomach felt like it was burning. She brought me to the hospital right away thinking I could have a pendicitis or something. I was freaking out because it hurt so bad. But I never actually admitted to eating the entire tub of cool whip.

Soon after we arrived at the hospital and were sitting in the waiting room my aunt came in with the empty tub of cool whip in her hands and said: "Is this what's killing you?"

That's awesome! No, I wouldn't stay somewhere due to just the paperwork either. You were lucky, you guys got to be together for the process. That's great, Calgary, eh? You missed the Stampede this year.

I feel almost lucky that I don't have to worry about the importing the car shenanigans. On the other hand, I am going to be one of those newbies who will be learning to drive/have/maintain a car for the first time ever. And honestly? I am not that young. :|

It wasn't that much of a hassle really. We were both living in Canada - so that wasn't a big deal and so basically it is just money and paperwork - plus, I would never stay somewhere just because I did the paperwork laughing.gif

No big deal to move back - my Husband is already a Canadian PR - so that's cool - of course the process of moving is a hassle and it is a much bigger hassle importing your car to Canada than it is importing a car to the U.S.

We are moving back to Calgary.

CanadaI-134 questions and one about immunizations!
I was schooled in B.C. as well and they didn't have my records. So... I had a titre test done and then had all my shots updated. Way back in the summer just to save myself the hassle when medical time came around. I'd suggest you do the same -- just get them all done, and be totally up to date. just make sure the issuing doctor gives him his yellow vaccination card to show the panel doctor that he is, indeed up to date.

it was a pain in the butt getting a titre test and then all the shots but they're free and it doesn't hurt to be boostered.

I'd suggest go and getting them done. Save yourself the hassle.

Best of luck...

CanadaUnemployment Questions
but the EI threads are very rarely looked at and I'd like to figure this out ASAP:


I have two jobs, one full time ( the big money maker) and a second job that's part time on the weekends.

IF I were to quit the BIG job during the week sooner, for the same reasons, to relocate to be with spouse and the smaller job later, which ROE would they look at OR
do they just want to see that I've logged the right amount of hours and made a certain amount of money over the years?

I am not sure how this works. I will probably stay at both jobs until the same time but part of me almost wants to ditch the big job a little sooner.

Not sure if I'm being clear here and if not, I'd be happy to clarify if someone were able to help/answer my questions.

Thanks so much,

I also had mine forwarded to family in Canada. It cost me $40.95 for 6 months. I would just check in weekly to see what I had received and then picked it up whenever I was back to visit. It would definitely be less expensive for you to have your mail forwarded to family/friends and have them mail it to you periodically in bulk.

Boy nothing about this process is cheap!

I still think, if you have a friend or family member you can redirect the mail too, then you should do that. It MAY be cheaper.

Well at least there you all go, if you want to do a mail change with Canada post for the US, it'll be 200 bucks!

When I worked at the PO in highschool it was only $30. But, that may have only been within Canada.

I was a little sticker-shocked and can't tell if that's extreme or not. I can't imagine what I'd get in the mail that would warrant that expense but....

CanadaToronto Medical - for NON-Torontonians
I think that what happens is, i'm hoping, is that w hen you go back for your results, and they're all okay, they give you the results in a SEALED envelope that cannot be opened by you. You then pass that on to the person who conducts your interview and there is no need for another set to be made. They also give you a notice that you get to keep for your records -- your vaccinations and such.

As far as I know, and I'd like to be corrected if I'm wrong, but you really have no need to obtain another transcript of this procedure. I may have to do it again once I go for my 10 year green card but I'm not sure as of yet.

not very helpful, was that?

quick question since my medical is next monday.

do i need to ask the doc to make copies of any of the forms for me for my AOS? i'm a tad confused about the vaccinateion i693 ds-3025 etc.. I mean..i dont get why some ppl have to see a panel physicial afterwards to get a transcription? i thought everything in the medical envelope was all i need for a k1? or am i just confused and mixing up multiple processes? lol.

My uncle who traps, I remember being a kid and going up to visit my cousins and you'd never want to go to the basement because there's be dead animals hanging upside down... and giant hooks and everything. My uncle is such a backwoods type of man. I remember driving with him in his truck and there were all these cars on the side of the highway looking at a moose in the swamp. All these tourists were snapping pictures of this majestic moose and my uncle gets out and grabs his gun from the back of his truck and shot the damn thing!!

People were HORRIFIED! And he looks at them smiled and said: "Well you can all come over for dinner if you like" I remember just ducking down in my seat and wanting to just crawl into a hole and die... just until all those people left.

He's just your typical northern small town native.

He took me fishing once when I was 12 and we were sitting in a boat and I was happily fishing and all of a sudden he grabs his gun and starts shooting into the water. I like fell off my seat and was down on the floor with my ears covered wondering what the hell was going on!! Then after he's done he says: "I get tired of waiting for them to bite"

He's such a character... I have thought about writing a book about him.
