I kinda suspected that it was English, but I also would have thought that about my ex’s dissertation (which I probably didn’t explain properly) if you had told me about it. Hell, yours could’ve been in forensics with all of the photos of corpses.  

Thanks for the tip. I'm unfamiliar with Nations Fresh Foods because I'm on the eastern side of Toronto and it doesn't look like they've expanded in this direction yet. I'll definitely check them out whenever I get a chance.  

I was on revolving temporary work permits when I decided to sponsor myself to become a permanent resident. I could do this because I was already legally allowed to work in the country. Then my employment went to shit and I still had another 2 years left on my work permit, but I was only allowed to work for the…

I’m still having a hard time deciding what subject matter you were pursuing a PhD in. My ex’s dissertation (for psychology) was about the historical representation of women in literature, so yours could have been for.... anything?

Mucho Burrito is pretty good, but Mexican  / southwestern food as a whole is generally lacking in Canada.  Having said that, pretty much every other kind of international cuisine can be found and it's usually pretty good.  

It’s great for you that she’s an ex-pat since that means she will had personal experience navigating some of the processes you’ll have to go through. So much of the 2 societies are very similar and so many small, weird things are incredibly different. I’m assuming that you’ve already got a great “North American” cell…

Okay, so you’ll want to do some serious research on this before you attempt to move. It would be absolutely great if you could obtain a letter from your employer requesting that you do your work within Canada. You will need to legally “land” at the border with the proper documentation in order to become eligible for…

I think that Burrito Boyz is some sort of franchise. I’ve never been to one because of the “z” at the end. To me, nothing says that a business has no self-respect more than XXTREM SPELLLLEN. Oh yeah, “Z” is pronounced “zed” here. And spelling sometimes goes a bit out the window because you’ll find both British &…

I like Pearl. What about Minerva? Then it could be Minnie when being playful & Minerva when being disciplined.  

Not Beryl. That name just always seemed so weird to me.  I met 2 Beryl's in my life, one male & one female, and they were both kind of unpleasant, unlikable, fucked up people.  

I have absolutely no idea as to what "Date Lab" is, but I now feel like I'm going to have to Google it tomorrow.  

A U.S. passport used to be one of the world’s most valuable travel documents. It is currently the world’s most useless. It doesn’t even matter if the airports open if whatever country isn’t accepting Americans. Based on a graphic that I only just glanced at earlier today, I’m under the impression that only Turkey &…

Now that everyone’s mentioning it, I think that this week will be the anniversary of my own father’s death. My situation is a little different though, because it's been approximately 15 years and my father was an asshole for pretty much my entire life.

Your phrenology comments now make me want to pry. So what was dissertation on? And your PhD? 

I’m going to try that sandwich the next time that banana bread appears in my house. Or maybe I'll just bake my own. Or maybe I'll cheat & just see if they have it at the grocery store tomorrow.  

What about Daphne or Velma? 

Millicent? 

Myrtle? 

I like Bailey.
