Congratulations!
And just in time to escape yet another terrifying Cessna attack on Washington too....
At least up here you won't have to any more "today's alert level is orange" messages.
That's very true, although I should point out that you guys will have to get used to hearing about hockey 24/7 ... you will be fully versed in all the issues surrounding the NHL lockout in no time, whether you want to be or not.
But I'll still take that over Terror Alerts ... maybe TSN should have its Lockout Alert for progress in NHL talks. That would be pretty cool.
Lately, the hockey lockout has taken a back seat to political wrangling.
Typical exchange:
SH: Parliament has expressed non-confidence in the government
PM: This vote is not procedural. We will not call an election
SH: You suck!
PM: Bite me!
JL: Can't we all just get along.
GD: Tabernacle! Maudit Canadiens!
Congratulations are indeed in order!
I may take refuge in Israel one of these days, when I am sick and tired of being sick and tired here, which is often lately!
Holy freaking shit! Congratulations!! Yay for you!

UNBELIEVABLE! Congratulations! It seemed as though your blog would forever be about the desire to immigrate to Canada. Now the Big Shift happens, where all your entries will move on to, well, moving on.
So, when do you plan to move??
Congrats!
The process might have been long, but I think it will be worth it for ya.
And just think, u will get at least a bit of summer up here!

"It seemed as though your blog would forever be about the desire to immigrate to Canada."
I knew it - I've been boring! :)
"Holy freaking shit!"
Crabletta, you are so wonderfully articulate.
ALPF Here
Big congratulations L-Girl!!
I know you guys will love it here.
If you ever stop by Hamilton look up "Anonymous" in the phone book to find me.
I have a URL link on my front door
That is wonderful news L-Girl.
Congratulations!
Be sure to keep us updated on your move! :)
Yay! Congratulations!
I'll miss you, despite the fact that we've lived in the same city now for nearly three years and manage to see each other oh, once every year or so. :)
Congrats, Canada rocks! Too bad you might be moving here just in time for the Conservatives to come to power.
Congrats. I can hear... Oh Canada!
Congratulations, from one ex-NYer turned Canadian (Dec 1989) to another.
Start practicing speaking more slowly, endeavour to add the letter u to words like endeavour, and remember that in Canada fuck isn't used as a warm, friendly greeting.
"remember that in Canada fuck isn't used as a warm, friendly greeting"
In the US, it is? LOL
Um, yeah, like, thanks and shit.
So, seriously, when do you leave? You'll do a post about your plans, right? In your spare time :)
ALPF, you totally cracked me up. Thanks for the great big laugh. :)
New Yorkers may greet each other with a "WTF" now again, but warm and friendly? Not sure about that. Thanks all!
In our younger days, we used to greet each other with the middle finger salute. It was the sign of manly affection. Do Canadian young men do that?
My skin is chilling of excitement even tho I don't know you. I am happy that everything went excellent. We are waiting for our FBI's to send them in... We are hoping to move soon to Canada!
Whoo Hoo! Good show! Good luck in your hunt for the Perfect Place too.
