I still have no recollection of it. Wasn't it determined later that it was Canada's fault? You blame everything on America, so I guess I can blame everything on Canada. Seems fair. Yes, I know I am in a nest of Canadians, but I love Canada and am fascinated by it. The other day someone said...

I guess I slept through it in Texas, because I have no recollection of it at all. When was this? Uncle

Well, we had prime rib roast for dinner that cost $63.00. Tender as a mother's love, and every scrap was eaten. We had huge rebaked potatoes, asparagus with lemon butter sauce, a fancy green salad, hot rolls and a Boston creme pie. Things are very expensive here. I don't cook but once a week...

I care. It is important, and I am disgusted with this disproportionate interest in children's charities as opposed to the elder charities. It's the "in" thing to give to children. Not that I hate children or begrude them anything. But 60% of the people in nursing homes have no living relatives...

Thomas Beatie, a transgendered male, is approximately 6 months pregnant with his own child. In a story he wrote for The Advocate, a well-known Los Angeles-based magazine, he explains that he is "legally male, and legally married" to his wife Nancy. Because Nancy cannot bear children due to a...

I'm from the US, Texas to be precise. So, as you might expect I have a bit of a Texas accent. Its not as pronounced as you might expect because I was born and raised in a big city. The country accent is more southern - my husband has it. Across America, we have quite a few quite distinctive...

Thank you very much. They look like pop-overs. Is this really a pudding or a bread? The roast would cost a lot more than that here, I think. I don't but that cut, but a rump roast to serve 4 generously would cost about $20. PS: I printed out the recipe, and since it's so simple, I plan to try...

Mikey, My electric bill was $500 this month/so living off $300 a month is truly impossible in my neck of the woods. Can I ask you something? I'm not being nosy. I just don't understand how things work in Canada, that's all. Do you receive food assistance, such as food stamps? Here you would...

:-(It's all over the news that Keith Ledger was found dead in his apartment in New York today. You might remember him from "Broke Back Mountain." It's a shame to lose a talented young actor like that. He was only 28...

Well, shoot, I meant to tell you what our Sunday dinner was. Normally I don't cook on Sunday, but we are trying to establish a new family tradition where we get together for a meal on Sunday evening and then have a movie. We had: baked ham, au gratin potatoes from scratch, pinto beans, Waldorf...

What is this? I have heard of it, but I have never tried it. No one in Texas makes this. Now this might be something for which I'd like the recipe. I make a Cajun gravy in the blender and pour it over the roast in the crock pot. No wine. Still excellent, but so EXPENSIVE. I can't afford it very...

I watched this one on DVD the other night by myself, based on Stephen's King recommendation. I expected it to be hard to understand since it was spoken in Spanish and dubbed. Generally, I despise this type of film and never watch them. But I am around Spanish speaking people quite a bit, and...

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this bit of unusual news. Dell always used Intel chips, ran Microsoft Windows and their computers came directly from factory to customer. Dell is a Texas company who actually listened to suggestions from its Ideastorm Website. Dell factories will begin...

I belong to a little group that works on puzzles, and no one has been able to figure this one out. Several people have suggested that the location of the coin is in Canada. The first clue hints at that. If that is the case, it's hopeless for me since I know so little about Canada. That's why I...

What would be an example of a Canadian style home cooked meal? Something special and native to Canada. An example, at this time of the year in Texas, would be: Meatloaf (or fried pork chops) Fresh black-eyed peas (I add fresh jalapeno) Fried okra Squash casserole...

I am trying to get a feel for what Canadians might think about American public figures, and not just political ones. I'm curious. I realize that you haven't met this person, and probably you've just read about them or seen them on TV. One American who was a true/blue lady was Mary Kay Ash...

So, were you impressed with Cindy Sheehan? Bruce Ward, CanWest News Service; Ottawa Citizen Published: Friday, May 05, 2006 OTTAWA - U.S. peace activist Cindy Sheehan derided Prime Minister Stephen Harper Thursday night as "just another Bush clone'' who cares more about being ``buddy-buddy''...

I live in the worst place for allergies in this part of the US. I have sneezed and carried on ridiculously for over a year. I've had allergies my entire life, but it seems they are getting worse with the milder winters. Do you have many allergies to pollen, etc. in Canada? I'm thinking maybe...

I follow your news and was wondering if there was any fresh news on the recovery of this couple? Friday, March 24, 2006; Posted: 2:18 p.m. EST VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) -- Mystery surrounded the fate of two people Friday who disappeared and are now feared dead after an ocean-going...
