Sweet, I'll go check those out!

Haha! I was resisting the urge to ask about "eh," how'd you know?? xD Do you really say it though? Hm, what's something typical we say here.. I can't think of anything x) Probably "like," I don't know. It definitely depends on what state you're from. That's funny, so you're really used to being close to the water. Everywhere I've lived has been land-locked, except San Diego (which I was really too young to remember) and Florida, when we lived right on the bayou. Do you ever eat poutine? My old roomie raves about it all the time.

I guess we'd call a housecoat a bathrobe? But I don't think you'd hang around the house in a bathrobe. So I guess just "robe." I mean, I can picture what it is, but I don't have one myself x) I'm sure other people here have them though. Especially up north, so they don't have to turn the heater up I guess. Heh, housecoat. Like a cozy coat for [i]inside.[/i] Oh yeah, no dollars. Loonies and toonies! [s]I'm a regular expert.[/s]

Thank you! I like reading your posts too. You're clear and descriptive and you move things along. I can't tell you how lucky I feel that you decided to respond to my interest check.
