welcome to the continent of north america.. within this continent, which includes also the carribbean islands, and central america, it's not one (1) country, but a collection of different countries.. i have noticed, quite a bit actually, with our friends from across the pond (atlantic ocean), especially those that reside in great britain/united kingdom, yes even the republic of ireland, of their generalities with regards to the term: america.. heaven forbid, i would guess if you lumped all brits in with europe/europeans.
wrong.. my experience has been that, most brits consider anything over this way.....the other side of the atlantic as: america.
thus to other nationalities within north america: that means: the u.s.a.. to a north american: when you say "america" it means: the united states of america.
Maybe I'm just lazy or maybe they put something in the sauce that I can't quite put my finger on but, these things are awesome in enchilada's and chili. I prefer the hot...LOL!

Heehee Shera, I've already been warned about Newfies. LOL! I wouldn't know if you had an accent or not. You didn't open your mouth enough... Okay, you do have a slight accent but it's cute.
the first poster that i ever met was philo.. we'd traded a few stories via the site and i realised that we knew some of the same people down in portsmouth.. he was very cagey as to his real identity, but eventually we shared emails and he told me all about himself.
one day, i took hl down to portsmouth to see my daughter who lives there.
i'd mentioned it in a post, that i was going in that direction.
The very first person I met from here was Outnfree. I hadn't even started posting here yet. I met her through a meetup and she was so cool about it knowing I was new to the whole meetup experience. She waited for my son and I out in front of Ruby Tuesdays because I didn't know who to look for. Not too long after that I met Pettygrudger. They've been two of my favorite people ever since and they've been officially approved by my son as cool peeps.

Anyone know where I can find the Laaaaaadge Freeway?
Ahem, as mentioned before, it's the Canadian's and their sympathisers who pronounce it that way and for some reason project their accent onto others. Yes, us Michiganians have no accent whatsoever!
Dottie, I wouldn't have noticed it if it hadn't been for the newscasters, all of whom seem to dwell somewhere just North of North Dakota. If I have to hear one more comment on paaaasta I think I'm gonna run screaming all the way to Detroit. Not barefoot of course cause it's too damn cold here.
frustrating calls/non-calls by euro-referees who would barely qualify for work in the ohl/qmjhl, and a tie-breaking format that has no place of a sheet of ice, but what great hockey.. the usa is smoking the ruskies as i type this, but i'm watching canada vs czechs.
Whatever could you mean by that statement Ray? My Wings have the best record in the NHL (okay so they are tied with the Leafs) and they are in first place in the Western Conference. They just knocked the stuffing out of Nashville 6-0 Monday night and tonight they can steal the top spot from the Leafs if they beat the Bruins (If? What am I saying? ). See ya in the Springtime my Canuck friend.
Petty, I couldn't agree with you more! I'm going to try and find a way to make it to next month's cause I miss you and Out (and RW and wife) very much!
Yes, I'm comfortable with quite a few people. Mostly people I've met in person but there are a few I've only chatted with on the phone that I trust. I'm not talking about one five minute phone call but, spending quite a bit of time hashing out issues and really getting to know people that don't live anywhere near me. I'm lucky and I know it.
