most europeans have more than a little difficulty in telling a us accent apart from that of a canadian one.
it's a bit like ozzies and kiwi's, until you've met a few, the differences aren't that apparent to the untrained ear.
some folk even think that the us and canada are simply interchangeable terms for what is basically the same place.
right on, thirdson, tks for replying. Just didn't get it. Actually, I'm a little confused right now by yr reply but that's OK with me. Isn't the CDN tax situation a bitch? We may have universal health care (hooray) but a lot of other monetary systems are really f**ked up!!
I love my "American Cousins", so I hope you're not offended. Tks once again.

first, the tee-up: many on this board are former jws.
former jws fall into two categories:.
1) those who consciously chose out, perhaps as an intellectual position, perhaps as an emotional reaction to some event, maybe while in the throes of some existential crisis.. 2) those who blew it, and got busted for (cue music) breakin the law, breakin' the law, breakin' the law.
Good to hear you are approaching this with humour, Decki.
And, yes, I am Canadian; east coast. Actually, I had some experience with Texans, worked with Boots and Coots with an oil rig fire. Would love to go to Texas although I have never had 'big hair' (ha, ha, it's a girl thing).

i was spoofed this week by a 13-year-old girl.
she approached me through yahoo and led me to believe that i had finally made contact with one of my family.
Seems like as good a case for spanking,

I guess they had more influence over my every thought than i knew.
Yes, they did. So stop blaming yourself. You have obviously overcome their mind control and it's time to forgive YOURSELF.

as i awaken and have tried to talk to the elders to no avail; this song has taken on some significance to me: .
blood on the ground by incubus.
cause blood in my mouth beats blood on the ground.

I felt suffocated just reading the lyrics...
good luck with the fade. Hope you are OK.
