Is this place friendly?
 
Just looked at some of the replys to some threads on here and I am concerned that the natives are not too friendly :unsure:

Wondering if I should stay here or not:huh:

Very, just type in text speak or ask silly questions and all will be fine.............in fact before you ask any questions, use the Wiki and if you cannot find an answer state you have checked the Wiki.

Oh and if you are going to flounce then don't

Depends on the context............

flunge - the act of flying off the handle at someone, while lunging at them

"I was arguing with my redneck uncle and he flunged and scared the shit out of me!"

flunge - The flunge is the wobble of flesh that protrudes between the waistband of hipster trousers and the hem of a too-short t-shirt.

Welcome to the nut house.:rofl:

Most of the time we are very helpful.

Occasionally things go off the rails and today seems to be one of those days, things will settle down again shortly.

So just sit back and enjoy the ride.;)

I think I should go and fill in my profile, while you are all having a drink.

I am 37, female, a nurse and not too sure where I want to be yet. As for the money, well I think it will be ok with me honey

OK, are you single?
cos apparently Calgary has more males then females

whilst Victoria has more females than males.



OH and AB is (at least amongst my contacts) still recruiting nurses.
