Mine was one of the first families in New France (Acadia) before the British took our farms and land and exiled us, made it illegal for us to worship and blocked us from getting work except to pick cotton in Georgia until we could escape and go back and fight for survival and settle Quebec.

But I'm over it.

Isn't Canada in North America?
I didn't know USAian was common south of 49. If it's not used by most citiziens of the USA to describe their nationality and "American" is, you were equivocating.

I don't think you denizens of south of 49 are allowed dual citizenship. (Texas may be excepted but that is a special case.)

"The Reformation was a time when men went blind, staggering drunk because they had discovered, in the dusty basement of late medievalism, a whole cellar of 1500-year-old, 200 proof grace—a bottle after bottle of pure distillate of Scripture, one sip of which would convince anyone that God saves us single-handedly. The word of the gospel—after all these centuries of trying to lift yourself into heaven by worrying about the perfection of your own bootstraps—suddenly turned out to be a flat announcement that the saved were home-free before they started. Grace was to be drunk neat: no water, no ice, and certainly no ginger ale." – Robert Farrar Capon

I know. It's just that I've heard some countries get a little bent when Americans act like they're the only country in the Americas.

Right after 9/11, Celine Dion sang "God Bless America" at some event and I was listening to a radio show where one asked: "Isn't she from Canada?" to which one of the other hosts quipped: "Maybe she means North America."

I don't have citizenship. I was born on an Air Force Base called Goose Bay Labrador, which is in Newfoundland. I was born an American Citizen and my birth certificate is a Department of State Report of Birth Abroad. That base was obviously nice for the Air Force as it was a pretty short trip over the polar ice caps for B-52's to bomb the Soviet Union but it's closed now. My parents have pics of snow piled 6 feet high there and, apparently, the base was practically inaccessible except by plane. I don't remember any of it as we moved when I was only 1.

Then no, it doesn't count, and you southrons still need a Canuck to keep you in line. ;-)

I did pick up some of the empty bottles around here the other day.

I forgot to turn off the TV though.




I'm sure you will be a terrific Mod.

Congrats, Anne

BTW, does anyone know whatever happened to Janice Q, aka ChristianasJourney? She was a mod here a long time ago, but has been MIA.

I'd do a little dance but I'm afraid it would lead to scandal and renegade threads.

[shocked] And we'll have none of that sort of thing!

Gives me palpitations, just thinking about it.

Having known Anne in cyberspace for several years and having been slightly admonished and encouraged by Anne in the past, I can say she is most definitely an "excellent" choice. She's someone who knew when to draw the lines with this FV thing on another forum along time ago. She has been faithful in defending the Faith once delivered when given the opportunity. Good to see you Anne!
