It's the real seasons that make it so special.

My goodness, all you freezing folks out there. Here on Vancouver Island, the sun's shining, it's about 7 degrees above, no snow, and I'm sitting looking out at all the crocuses that have been blooming in my front garden for about a week. Tons of daffodils, grape hyacinths, and tulips also popping up although not yet flowering. Been picking celery and kale from my
vegetable beds as well. Anybody else got anything growing or are you still having trouble seeing the ground?

I'm so fed up with snow and it's not even February yet.

Get me on a one way ticket home now! Ahh!
Well this is the 4th last Canadian winter for me, hopefully. 3 more to go after this.

Ahh don't start me If I could, ultrarunner, i'd be on the very next plane home. I don't like it here too much. I even have $2,000 saved specifically for that ticket, in a savings account, and I don't spend it on anything else. But being 15, I don't really have that choice... So for the next 3 and a bit years, all i've got is whinging, unfortunately.

Ugh I have alot of those at my school. I was entrepeneuring from about 13 fixing peoples computer issues and babysitting their kids, and before i knew it bam $2000. Its easy to do something, if (as you put it) you get off your todd and do it! Its like emigrating, if you really want to get that permit, or get into Canada, you'll do it My peers just need motivation (or a swift kick in the arse from their parents)

Is this a Canadian phrase, "get off your todd"?
