yet another St. Paddy's day i managed to avoid corned beef and cabbage .and on the plus side,a bar opened right in front of my apartment complex.we haven't gone to a bar in forever since cabs are too expensive in the burbs and no one wants to be DD.now all we have to do is stumble an 1/8 of a mile. about the Samoas-they are,of course,my dad's favorite cookie.initially,i think,because they're called Samoas,but then there's the fact of their yumminess.i bought him a box,my mom bought him a box,and he bought himself two boxes.the man made out like a bandit!tagalongs are good,too,like peanut butter twix.i remember trying to sell the cookies when i was a girl scout-sucks trying to go door to door when there are only three houses on your street and yours is one of them.

I feel eligible to post here since I'm *almost* an American. I'm applying for my citizenship next week. The states I've been to in no particular order: Hawaii Washington Oregon California New York Pennsylvania Michigan Montana Indiana Illinois South Dakota North Dakota Kentucky Nebraska Conneticut Idaho Iowa Minnesota Nevada New Jersey Ohio Utah Wisconsin Colorado That makes 24. I still want to venture to the Southern states, even though I hear it can be depressing. Would like to check out some good old American crocodiles, or alligators, whichever they are and Disney World of course. Plus I'd like to learn more about Confederate history and the civil war etc. Lots of neat things to see in the South I think. Alaska would be cool too.

Ah.... I managed to get myself trashed the night before St Patty's day, playing poker and drinking wine at a friend's house. My head hurt so bad the next day I couldn't go out and enjoy the wholesome green fun. Eff. Oh well, there's always next year. Speaking of the South, that is where you'll see the true blonde babes. None of the bottled fake blonde with their fake boobs in the east or west coast. ... And the above is only my personal observation.

^The blondest place I've ever been was Sweden. I hear that Iceland is full of blonde hair too. I assumed the South would be full of mostly White and Black people. Not necessarily blonde.

Unless it's for a marital situation or an inferiority complex, why give up a citizenship of country with a better social system and quality of life (except for the frigid fall, winter, and spring weathers) - not to mention a better image? In fact, I'm a U.S. citizen who fancies moving up to Canada, if not to live, then to visit at least.

If I had to give up Canadian citizenship I'd definitely not be trying to get American citizenship. I LOVE being Canadian. No inferiority complex here. You should move up here! I'm applying for dual.

America is the right country for *some* people.

America is the right country for *some* people. So, you're implying that Canada has worse of these than the U.S.? OK, the frigid, cold, long winters may not be to the liking of most people (although there are *some* people who prefer it to the hot, humid, sticky summers in much of the lower 48 States), but according to this study, Canada beats the U.S. hands down in most other important factors that measure quality of living: www.mercerhr.com/referencecontent.jhtml?idContent=1173105

I don't know what it takes and how difficult it would be to apply for a dual Canada/U.S. citizenship, but I should check it out? Any advice or idea based on your own experience or knowledge on that?

I don't doubt for the 'average' person that life (by those subjective measurements) could be better in some Canadian city over another American city. For *some* people, though, life in the US will be preferable.

Well, hell, for the rich just about any place would be preferable, whereas for the poor just about anywhere would not be - rather, obvious, I think.
