He’s the sucky part of Canadia.

Right - I forgot because he rarely posts.
I still don't know if he's the Jay I'm thinking of.

Depends on which Jay you're thinking of, but I'd wager not, lol

That's okay. Thanks for the warm welcomes.

I like the new guy.

He's okay with derailings, gonna fit right in - although we do usually get back on track.

My father's side of the family is French Canadian and moved to MA not so long ago (that my grandfather's first language was french) and my mother's side also has canadian, and more recent, as my grandmother moved from Ontario to MA as an adult.


Also, welcome @MrDawn - are you a returning member from the old days of GW or brand new to this crowd?

 

[canadaguy]

 

[Advocate for Ants! Mouth]

Oh look, more Canadians.

 

[MrDawn]

This is my first time. I like to visit forums. Try some of them out. I've worked with @Crystal on some of those forums. She's a great friend and a wonderful person.

 

[canadaguy]

Andrew Phung is like the nicest coolest guy in person

You passed my first test.

If Crystal doesn't self-deprecate in return, you win a prize.

Well then, welcome to the community!

I don't doubt that. He seems like he'd be a cool guy.

 

[TD]

Or he said.

We're progressive.

Or they said.

We're actually equal.

 

[Crystal]

She's ... a wonderful person

 

[MrDawn]

self-deprecate

I'm much of the same in regards of having low self esteem. I've battled depression most of my life. My username pays homage to that.

Well this place is a great place to get away from that - as someone with similar battles.

 

[Jon]

Sorry, @MrDawn you do not win that prize.

But you're still welcome here! Try the chicken!

True, we've got each other's backs here, and quite a few of us have the same battles.

My depression just floored after I moved out from my parents. I have not been super happy without worry since I was 15. It just seemed things were getting darker in my mind from there. Family and religion played a huge part in all of it. As I've gotten into my late 30's, I'm trying to let it all go and try to be a happier person. I really just don't want the baggage anymore.

 

[shortkut]

I’ve been to Canada a bunch of times

Absolutely makes sense, and yeah, finding ways to let it go and move beyond would be fantastic! You know a lot of my own problems, and that's stuff I'll be dealing with for many years to come, but moving forward and being free from the struggle is absolutely the goal and you'll definitely get there!

Oh then why've I never seen you up here then?

Okay but what about me?

Why didn’t you come see me? Everything goes both ways

Next time.

We can go out for dinner and have lamb chop.
