I'm curious about something, and maybe some of you out there have some ideas, but why do you think that Canadians individually contributed over 12 MILLION dollars to the Tsunami Relief fund, but to date have only contributed $225,000 to the Earthquake??

Anyone else out there seen "Crash"? I thought it was absolutely an amazing piece of cinema. A bit contrived because all the stories come together at the end (magnolia'ish I've read it described as), but I thought overall it was fantastic. It also, in my case, really made me think about my...

Any self proclaimed folkies out there?? I'm heading to the Canmore Folk Music festival this weekend. It's a fabulous little festival that has excellent performers, but hasn't reached the crazy mob like situation that is present in some of the bigger city festivals (Edmonton for example). I...

I have been on a classics kick lately, and now I need something fun, and fabulous to read. Most recently, Crime and Punishment and Les Miserables have drained my energy! So, any great suggestions for a great book that won't take a great deal of brainpower, and won't have me hunting for a...

Anyone out there seen this movie yet? My Aunt RAVED about it, and I'm considering taking it in, but thought I'd get some other opinions on it. I often find that the "Critically Acclaimed" movies aren't up my alley at all!!

Mmm fudge. It is interesting to meet people that have never heard of root beer. I have to agree with 007, A&W makes the best rootbeer. By far. ONly if you have it in a frosty mug though. Me, I prefer a good old Coca Cola though.

Moghrabi, who is that in your avatar? He's awfully nice to look at.

I belong to a mailing list from "Canadians For Equal Marriage" and got this email today in my inbox. Seeing as I know most of you are openminded individuals, I thought I would post it, and hope that a few more people might email their MP's to support the right of Same Sex Marriage...

Since Haggis and I totally hijacked the New Year's party thread, I thought maybe I'd start a new one where people can talk about places in Canada that they've visited. I'd love to travel our fair country more, and to have someone in Toronto tell me what great places I should visit is a chance I...

I'm stealing Haggis's idea and making a thread dedicated to Christmas Memories. Good bad, funny sad, share your memories as Christmas creeps a little closer (33 days!!) My favourite memory, which is repeated every year is getting the Christmas tree. My family always puts up the tree on either...

Have any of you guys seen this website. Bizarre stuff going on in that good ol' U S of A. http://www.freedomunderground.org/memoryhole/pentagon.php#Main

You know, it's really hard to increase your posts when you're the only one on the site. I suppose there are the standard excuses like it's Halloween, I'm out with the kids, I have to guard the candy against my dog, etc etc. But seriously, I actually had some free time, and I figured I could...

In a very peapodic manner, I've found a quiz of some interest. Check it out. I found it amazingly accurate... http://www.colorquiz.com/

Does anyone on here do yoga at home? I go to a class once a week, but would like to do some at home too. I am really just looking for a good video to help me out at home until I'm more comfortable with all the poses and positions. It's a long shot, I know, checking with all you guys, but you...

Okay, so it's a topic I've seen many places around the internet, but it hasn't made it's way over here, so I'll bring it myself. How do we all feel about Ontario banning pit bulls? Is it a step in the right direction, or in the wrong? I'm having a very interesting email conversation with a...
