    My brother in law put in nicely once, by saying that "if he were God, he'd give the world an aenima, and put the hose in Hamilton." I can't say that I blame him. Hamilton Ontario, is undoubtedly the worlds biggest shithole, and I get the pleasure of living directly in the Big Stinks path, in equally lovely Burlington. This is a picture of Hamilton below. Draw your own conclusions.

    My dilemma is this. I had planned on moving to Victoria, the other side of Canada, (Victoria's backyard seen below from the jetty on Dallas Road) in the end of October, saving money in the interim, and making business conacts by phone. This has been taken care of for the most part. I have enough for living expenses for at least a few frugal months, why not just buy the plane ticket, and fly the coop, right? Not that easy. I said there was a dilemma, and i'll give you one dammit! Much to my suprise and glee, my girlfriend of several years has recently decided that she no longer wants to be tied to the Borg, and has also expressed interest in leaving this dungheap with me once and for all in search of a better life, room to spread her wings, ect. Problem. She lives with European parents (Italian) who regard marriage in the highest regard -- when she mentions to them in six months time that she plans on leaving home for the first time to live with me in 'sin' (HAR!) 4500 kilometers away (divide by 1.6 for milage) they are going to hit the roof, and give her a very hard time, being the loyal dubs that they are. I feel as if my moving will leave her with no support, exposed to the elements with no place to hide, but it has to be done eventually, and no matter when it is done, something sloppy is bound to happen. Why doesn't she come out right away? She wants to stay here and work and save, while I am looking for an apartment for us, and a job for her, to be reasonable. I think for the first time in my life, I have become stuck between a rock and a hard place... BAH! To stay or go, to stay or go... -Seed

    Edited to apologize for the imossibly shitty formatting -- don't know what happened there...

    Hey bad seed,dude come out to the west coast.Your girlfriend can get a job out here.She could also get a government loan if she wants to better her education out here,schooling and living expenses included.If she completes what ever schooling she wants,the government will forgive 40% of the loan...They made me take a course on student loans before I could get one.I hear they don`t do that anymore...OUTLAW

    Hey B.S.

    I was born in Hamilton. Back when you could still swim in the lake. Spent alot of time in Burlington as a teen. Milgrove, Dundas, Waterdown, up on the Mountain, went to the Freelton congregation a few years too. I have alot of relatives still living in Hamilton. Know any Ryersons? not JW's.

    Go west young man, go west. If she can come great. Start a new life together. If you don't want to live in sin have a quick, cheap wedding. You won't see too much of the family anyway. Go where the air is clean and life is good. If she leaves the dubs she will be shunned anyway. She can make it life as usual until the day she is to leave, then say good bye to all of it at once.

    Anyway you go its a hard choice. Do what will makes you happy. Lifes too short.

    Good Luck!!!

    Just get her and yourself a ring and tell the parents you were secretly married! Simple!
