Where do you call home?

[17thRecceSgt]

I'm an army brat, so I fall under the category "everywhere"

Born in Quebec, lived in Ont, BC, Israel, Syria, NB, NS. When people ask me where I'm from, I get confused, but generally stick with New Brunswick. Place that I loved.

You are serious, you lived in ALL those places and...and...you liked NB the best??

I am speechless!

I know, I know...it's wierd. Was back there recently for the first time in 6 years, and it hasn't really changed at all. Plus, while I've got a career, any girl who turned me down for dates in High School seems to be pregnant or already single mom, living in a trailer, and working at the liquor store/Tims/McDicks.... >

NB is the place where I developed most as a person, well, except for the military.

Developed most as a person?    :

I didn't know we were filming Dr Phil here today!

Just because I am from PEI and have the metal plate in my head, and 4 teeth, is NO reason to pick on me

:dontpanic:

I think I will speak for all of us when I say you need to stop being shy and you know...move around some!

Seriously...you need to stop being a hermit ;D

Was on the base last week and there is very little remaining.  Highbury complex just closed and everything was moved to a new building at Wossley.  The base ends just behind Beaver Hall with new houses being built on Carling Heights overlooking the gym (name escapes me at the moment)

Hey now

Four is all us old Islanders need to give those spuds a good going over! As we Islanders migrate away tho, they issue us extra teeth at the end of the Confederation Bridge, just so we fit in up here in "uppity Canada", I mean upper Canada.

Ha ha, toothless.......and slow.....what a combo....I think I'll have that on my headstone!!

Actually I hadn't read the whole thread before and was shocked there was more then one PEI inmate running around on this board! More then one Islander allowed...you folks are tolerant!

there are others who won't reveal their identity.  Mostly because of the finger-pointing and laughing, and then everything becomes "right ----".

Right funny...right slippy...right hungry...
