Feeling stresed,
There are some awesom bubbles that just sorta relax you. It's cool!

you are paleturquoise
#AFEEEE

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well.

Your saturation level is low - You stay out of stressful situations and advise others to do the same. You may not be the go-to person when something really needs done, but you know never to blow things out of proportion.

Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.

Feeling Canadian eh!

06.28.04 (9:11 pm) [edit]

I am not exactly sure why, but for some reason I am or was feeling very Canadian today.
One of the Condo's owners was standing at the front desk upon my arrival this a.m., and as we talked he said "Margo, where do you originally hail from?". I of course told him I am Canadian, came here in 97. He then started on about the election going on in my home land. Now this surprised the crap out of me. All thought it shouldn't have considering the man I was speaking with is not just a Lawyer, but a very well travelled man, very knowledgable, and very, very into politics. He then wanted to know why I had not procured my citizen ship here in the USA.
Why should I. What will that gain me. I am not living here because I wish to change my Citizan ship. I am living here because Mark doesn't like snow. I would move to Canada in a minute if he said he would come with me.
I am and always will be Canadian...and damn proud of that fact.
I do not vote in Canada either as I feel I do not have the right to do so not living there. I gave up that right of my own accord when I moved here. Becoming a Citizen here, would gain me the ability to vote...whoppie eh!! oh yes, and I could apply for Government jobs...again...yippie!!!
I have gone through the proper channels with the INS system, I have paid a good sum of money to obtain my "green" card and my Permanet Resident status ID card. This does not come cheaply, not to mention it took me some 2 full years from start to finish. A very stressfull 2 years too I might add.
I do have to say that when dealing with INS people in person, they were extremly friendly, courtious, and helpfull, was that because I am Canadian....could be.
At any rate, when I left Canada I was of the Conservative following, now I am not so sure. There have been times over the past year, when I found myself reading up on the political status of my home land. Today, we talked about the last time I remember the Conservative Party being in power. I do believe Joe "who" (Clark) comes to mind. Believe it or not, this man knew exactly of the time, and that put me in awe of this man yet again.
I have been asked about Canada's relationship with Britan, and whats with the Queen deal. I do the best I can to explain the political facts, however I am far from the ability of doing a good job on that subject, but I do try. While I am not a lover of the Qeen, I loved Princess Di, and have my ideas of how she met her death.
Sooo......here I am feeling Canadian. Mark has the idea of painting our shed 'red, white, and blue'. We bought the paint in only the red and white colors. Maybe I should get him to paing the side of the shed with the Maple Leaf!!! what the heck eh! just for me. What do you think of that Greybeard?!

Thought for the day:

I'm all for it and I won't even put the leaf upside down.

Oh, by the way, you know I've always considered cremation to be the best end for me, but if you want, in the end you can take me up to Canada and freeze dry me. After this past weekend I'm not sure if broiling to death is much better than freezing anyway. We just need to become debt free so we can move like the birds; I think we would both enjoy that.

"Oh Canada, my home and native land ..." I feel a little (and a big haha) Canadian everyday! Good for you Sis, stay proud. Why don't you just put a little wooden maple leaf above the door of the barn, isn't that what Dad had on our red and white tool shed? Have fun and no fighting .... by the way we are stuck with the Liberals in power yet again.

YIKES ... I went for the NDP this time ... I'm all for the lowering of the college tuition 10% plus double child tax credits but to no avail .... Our Conservative candidate in this riding is a complete asshole. I figure that if you vote someone in and he/she turns out to be an asshole ... well that's a chance you take. However, if you vote someone in that you know is an asshole well .... shame on you!

I am Canadian EH!
