@Jagger69: You're both wrong. Why isn't he in MY bed?

British 16=US 12, give or take.

Federal and provincial elections here are traditional paper ballots, but municipal elections, at least in Toronto, use forms that are similar to multiple choice test papers. The ballots are machine-read.

Project Runway Canada is supposed to start in early 2009, I believe. Maybe they can export it out to you guys.

@maggiemom: And Joan probably thinks she's "too old" to get ahead now.

@ItchykooParker: What about all the tech aspects? Did someone help you reset your phone extension and computer?

Boy, Peggy has guts! I don't think too many women (no, guys too, actually) would have the guts to ask for a better office like that. Though I'm not too sure I'd want to work in the copy room either. And I'm sure machines back then were way louder than they are now.

@gherkinfiend: Not surprised if tea does the same thing. Both my grandmothers are barely A cups and they always drank tea when they're thirsty! But it could have also been a nutrition thing...they were in their teens when Japan invaded China.

I think Mad Men will still come back for Season 3. There's still time between now and when they need to shoot. Perhaps MW is talking to them as we speak, but it's all just hush-hush. I could see a later premier date (maybe August instead of July).

You can get preppy stuff all over Canada. Also, we have Roots, which is pretty much as preppy as you can get when it comes to leather goods and "camp wear"!

Congrats to Katherine and hubby on your little bundle of joy!

@PilgrimSoul: We might not have dolls, but we did have a Canadian equivalent in terms of books, called Our Canadian Girl. The closest match to Samantha in Our Canadian Girl is Penny, who was sent to live with wealthy relative in Montreal. I think it was because of the Halifax Explosion in 1917. She went to a school…

I wish I could find out more about my family beyond my great-grandparents. I know some details about my dad's side, but my mom's dad was a country boy and while my grandmother grew up in upper middle class Macau, her father was an orphan and made his fortune in the restaurant business. I know very little of my great…

@Penny_Esq: But that's not how immigrant parents think. Some go as far as saying that their kids shouldn't behave like "Americans" (read: white people) because it's not what good ____(fill in the blank ethnicity) kids do.

What bugs me is that some people of Asian descent, especially those not born here emphasize the fact that they aren't American/Canadian, which doesn't help change people's minds at all. I'm sorry, but as long as you consider yourself foreign, no one will consider yourself American or Canadian.

I was watching the show with a friend last night and I totally did not see the coming out scene coming at all...I didn't even realize anyone would even WANT to come out back then, even if they're European.

Don't laugh, but I cried at Sex and the City, when Sam broke up with Smith.

Re Legends of the Fall:What about when the guy who played Elliot on ET was shot by the Germans? I cried then, too.

@gold_gato: Her mother? Bambi is a boy.

@HarrietB.: Eva was probably a 00 before.
