Evening all,

I wondered why there had been so little posting else where within "Canada" today, and then i found you have all been hanging in this thread all day

OK, so to catch up...

Is Purples little piccie fixed? I cant see it either

Off to read the article, back soon...

BTW, i am new to the forum, only wish i had found it SO much sooner, would have been a great help. And i have been made to feel welcome at every turn.

But to me it looks totally amazing. You are to be admired for going for your dream, i hope you are loving it.

I would love to live somewhere like that, but worry about how i would earn a living (being just me) somewhere quite that far out.

So for me, a resort town will always have some sort of work and it might mean living in a condo/townhouse but i could afford that (With no mortgage unlike the mortgage i carry here in the UK and probably would for another 15 years) and the mountains and bike trails will be right there. My version of my dream

Re the original article. She talks about making reccies every year. Did she rent a place/buy groceries/meet with local insurance brokers & realtors/enquire about health costs/etc? I have done all those things, i feel i have done all the obvious research, and know it wont be easy but want my dream so am going to work for it.

Lots of us work more than one job at various stages in our lives. I worked 2 jobs to put myself thru uni. I have worked second jobs as and when i have needed to, to get the money for specific things i might want. Otherwise, i live within my means. Why move so often? Moving costs a lot of money in fees, etc. Why do it?

OK, my own little mini-rant over.

Off for a good old cup of tea

I just read that angie article and I have to say, having lived here for 7 years I think they must put some funny stuff in 'Angies' backward community for her to spout such absolute drivel. I think that calling canada a third world country is not only wrong, but insulting to Canada. its also misrepresentative of what a third world country actually is negates some third world countries sufferings completely. I am less annoyed at 'Angie' however because it doesnt surprise me that a british person can spout such crap - in all honesty I am glad I am not back in england because at least the level of education here is such that you can tell the difference between third world and western. Its the arrogance of the english that made me leave... please dont bring it here with you, and take away our jobs - I need to be able to work at least 2 or 3 to survive HAHA. maybe its not her accent that incited racism it was her attitude...
I have to run now and hang out with some sleep walking, sheep.

I met an Indian guy who moved from the UK to Canada (Edmonton) and he thought the UK education system was better but not the life style or opportunities. But others i have talked to and my own experiences mean i agree with some of the points in the article. I guess it depends on where you are. Its the same every where though, different country same colour grass.

Hi,
Guess it could be any reason??? Decided that there's probably a cosmic reason, and who am I to question it, have gone completely la la now over it all...

What was it, and animated gif file or something?

I think the powers that be put a stop to all those on bandwidth grounds. Either that or its the wrong size. For some reason the picture on my profile page disappeared a while back...It was fine after I reloaded it, so you could try that.

Hope I'm not repeating previous advice...couldn't be bothered wading back through the thread.

I think it's a nasty infectious virus and those of us that cannot see it are being protected by our anti virus software. All those that can see it prepare to be invaded by purple 80 trojan.
