  1. Yea, same. I never really got across (aside from weak family trips) until I was like 22, and that was when I moved there. Now, I just have a few friends and some family. But I'm probably heading over sometime in April me thinks!

  2. I do too on occasion. Used to live there, and still have a bit of family kicking around. Well, just a brother and his fiancee...

  3. That is a very good point. Glad you brought that up before I made a commitment. NOW, there's a dilemma. You're kind of... well... overseas to me

  4. Hmmm, a toss up between a free prize hug and a blender... This is probably the hardest decision I've ever had to make... Blenders are handy, but hugs are irreplaceable

  5. You mustn't know me well enough then. A simple high five would do.

  6. O cool, I was your 1000th view. Prize?

  7. Uh oh, it just started snowing in Chilliwack. Time for me to put my chains on!
  8. For sure. You never know when a random bunch of Burmese militia will come after you.
  9. I've seen Rambo. I would like to think I know how to navigate wilderness and find random explosives that I could use to my advantage.
  10. WHen I was your age, I walked to school in this kind of weather. Uphill. Both ways. In my dad's pyjamas.
  11. So now you're completely changing your tune. Gotcha...
  12. You want common sense? Think of it this way: Broadway corridor, how many tens of thousands of cars travel down that road in a day? Now imagine it if every single one of those cars had a set of four (minimum) chains digging into the pavement. That's in the hundreds of thousands of chunks of metal digging into a road every minute. IN ONE DAY. Now imagine that over this past winter. How much damage do you think that would cause? The whole road would need to be dug up and repaved. Tens of thousands of people going home and taking the chains off will not negate the damage that was caused by being on that road. You wonder why people never take you seriously?
  13. How do you learn from idiocy?
  14. Think of that every spring when you're driving home, caught in single lane traffic around every corner because of a set of chains took out a chunk of pavement.
  15. And who foots the bill to repair the roads every March? What about all those people who drive along - with chains - who drive into a pothole that couldn't be seen because it's full of snow and bust up their suspension?
  16. Back then, they didn't have to venture very far from home. No one commuted. Suburbs didn't exist. You wouldn't find development in the mountains like you would in Coquitlam. Cities in the mountains were built on flat spots in the mountains - for example, Chur in the Swiss Alps There were exceptions of course, but this is typical of life back then Society was completely different back then. It wasn't as simple as not having lights or having to walk around in the snow.
  17. We're not supposed to get any for another 4 hours
  18. Just started here in Chilliwack. I'm not exactly a fan of having to pick up a new car and re-figure out 5-speed again in this stuff.
  19. I see you stalking me. Stalker.

  20. Youll just make me look more and more popular!
