    We now live in a world where gender is a choice, and being fat is genetic...

    Is that the same world that is flat and at the center of the universe?

    Only Toronto is the centre of the universe. The rest of us revolve around it.

    ^^ Winter hellscapes don't hide in your shoe, waiting to kill you. Never found a grizzly there either.

    If I die- I want to die a man's death, being mauled by a grizzly; not because I forgot to shake out my shoe.

    Tornadoes and heat for my area sure, Hurricanes on occasion along the cost but just some heavy rain for my area when that happens. No Alligators and sharks are not on land. Water Skiing is huge here. Just remember this when you all are crying about how cold it is during the winter. I'll be crying about it hitting 0'C as a low and you will be thinking I'm having a heat wave. :lol:

    When I fly to Texas my suitcase always gets inspected because of my brother and cousins wish list. Don’t pack clothing they tell me pack Red River hot cereal, maple cookies, Peanut Butter Pirates, maple syrup, candies and coffee. My brother still shutters when telling how his family prefers that strange store syrup then remembers this means he doesn’t have to share!

    I prefer the wide assortment of biting bugs that plague us in the summer
