I tire of seeing Alberta portrayed this way, even in jest.

Isn't that part of what happened to Elvis?

Yep, I've got that one.

I'd heard that Francophone Canadians have gone with "courriel" which makes sense to me.

When is Chanel going to roll this thing out already?? I'm waiting....

Before I got an IUD, I had terrible periods. One of the things that got me through the worst of it was laying down with your heels above your head. Not WAY up in the air - just enough so that your body slopes down towards your head. This was the only way I could sleep if the cramps came at night. I hope it works…

Blame Canada!

I work in a successful public library, where circulation is at an all-time high. More people are visiting the buildings and borrowing materials. All levels of government are increasing budget contributions. Citizens are donating more than ever.

My gym has a giant signs in all its locations saying "cell phones prohibited in the locker rooms". Someone is talking on her cell phone every single time I'm there. This bugs me!

I run hot too. I always blamed my well-insulated, efficient Nordic potato-picking genes. I always wonder how men don't melt into a pool while wearing wool suits.

@prufrocklives: My yoga practice ended up at home, without a mirror, alone, because I couldn't hack the competition to look good and push harder. Practicing alone freed me to advance.

@ForgotMyMantra: It looks like a pretty stressful life for dear Owen....

@GREGORYABUTLER10031: I agree with your statement, and I wonder about the men too. I don't think it's fair for a man to work his life away so a woman can spend her afternoons in a cafe.

@LAmonkeygirl: Prepare yourself for Quebecois French.

@HidingInCanada: I agree, it looks like a pile of pink barf on the carpet.

@jamsammy: I love this entire thread - but this is the one that made me LOL.

Am I the only one that wants her to close her mouth in these photos?

A Canadian show called Marketplace busted these guys last year. Watch & learn.

I usually don't buy anything empire-waisted. Anything that falls directly off of the bustline makes me look pregnant. I'm hoping fashion gets over that look pretty soon.

@Tributary: I have turned so many button shirts and sweaters into pullovers this exact same way. Good tip.
