i hate them so much, using up all the snow I know the story says they should be getting it, but its an old story, they did get it, a big dump of MY snow, and they dont even want it!!! How fair is that?!?

Argh.

Why don't you just move there? You seem to be a snow bird anyway.

[The Real Bingo]

Since I naturally have to disagree with you, Crock Pot, Edmonton rocks my socks.

[Hungrycookpot]

Well, i would move there, but ive still got college to do here. Boy, wouldnt that be sweet to like out in Whistler.... *drool*

Haha you've never even heard of Edmonton have you TRB?

[MadMan2k]

Yeah, I know 3 people that live there, they suck.

lol, j/k

[jokostel]

i dont like the name even.... sounds lame.

[Warthog]

Why don't you do college over there?

Unless you want to be closer to mommy and daddy

[jokostel]

callin him a momma's boy eh warthog ???

[Hungrycookpot]

hahaha, naw wart, far from it, its just that i know the colleges around here, and i know the people at them, so it doesnt really make sense to go all the way across the country and not know anyone, or the cities. Ill be quite glad to get far away from "mommy and daddy"

[lone1dog]

Well Pot the US Marine Corp are looking for few good men and they will take you far away. (Wart)

[Warthog]

1) There's no US Marine Corps snowboarding team.
2) Even if there was one, they don't allow Canadian citizens to join the US military.

[big_buick]

yeah it's great.... not

My parents lived in Edmonton for a brief time before I was born.

They don't speak of the experience. But then again, my parents don't speak of most experiences. They think that not saying a word about anything makes people like me think, "Holy crap - something crazy must have happened." ... But it's just them, trying to add cachet to their image.

Yes, god i hate them so much!!!

I think you meant, Yes, god I hate it so much!!!

The people are good. The climate is way to cold for human habitation. There's a block heater plug-in for every car, every where you go. The malls are kept cool in the winter as lots of folks go shopping in ski clothing. Many times in the winter you wake up to reports of how long it will take skin to freeze. Government buildings empty out as soon as the temp hits -32c. It was so cold one winter’s night, none of my room mates nor I, would go to the store for sour cream to put on our perogies. The store was only 50 paces away @ -50c + wind chill factor lowering it to -70c. Solved the no sour cream dilemma that cold winter’s night. Used Miracle Whip instead. I still use Miracle Whip on perogies to this day.

One good thing about it though. It’s close to:
Mt. Norquay
Banff
Fortress Mountain
Sunshine Mountain
Lake Louise
Marmot Basin
And only 7 hours to Whistler

I lived in Edmonton for 3 winters, skiing all the way. 1981 to 1984.

Hey! Hungry! Salivating yet?

Cheers!

I put up with the same thing here and I don't even have easy access to the mountains.

[Beemer]

What keeps you in the prarie wind scape then?

Cheers!

[brandon184]

I don't intend on being here for much longer. I'm living here now because it's cheap. There's no way I could live like this in BC or even Alberta.

[Beemer]

I guess we pay for the good weather.

Beer at the bar, $4.50
Get a maid for $300.00 per month
4 liter jug of 2%, $3.50
100% whole weat bread, $1.49
Pack of cig's, 25's, $10.25
gas at $0.98 per liter

It isn't that bad, is it? The economy is pretty good at the moment. Construction trade jobs are plentifull right now and have been for a couple of years.

Cheers!

[brandon184]

Construction?!

I WOULDN'T LAST A DAY!
