:laugh:

The more I read from you, the more I think Sweden and Canada are pretty damn similar.

Don't say that! If my plans to move to the US don't work out, Canada is my 2nd choice, and I don't want it to be another Sweden!:laugh:

I would move to Norway or Sweden in a heartbeat.

Hoping to get over there sometime by fall. Land in Germany, dip down into Austria then head Nord only 2 weeks planned total. :cry:

Probably enough time to hit Oslo and the surrounding area for a quick and dirty Viking raid on the Food, Beer, Burial sites and perhaps if I am very lucky catch a show. :yo:



Yeah, except we in Canada to not have the quality of life (in general) that they do in Scandinavia...or the quality of beer.

Dude, you can't raid our burial sites, it's awfully rude!:sarcasm:

Sounds like a sweet trip, hopefully the weather is good, that could really make it an awesome trip if it is. Also, remember that everything in Sweden is really expensive. And everything in Norway is waaaay more expensive!

While I do agree about our beer, our quality of life is generally going down the crapper, quickly. The beer is awesome though!

Whereabouts are you in Sweden, Romang? Our normal High/Low is +8/-3. Today it ws -5/-18 :( We've been 5-20 degrees below normal for over a month. It is super frustrating :rant:

I am taking a roadtrip to Miami in May but even that seems like an eternity away right now.

I'm in Järfälla, just northwest of Stockholm. Normally around this time of year, we dip just below 0 from time to time. This year, we are above 0 sometimes. I'd say we are around -10/0 to -5/+5. Last year, it was like +5/+16...:cry:

“Your industry is a critical link in the supply chain that moves goods from producers and suppliers to markets. Without it, our domestic transportation system, our trade with the US and the entire Canadian economy would look about as good as the chances of the Phoenix Coyotes winning their division this year,†the Winnipeg Jets fan quipped, prompting chuckles from a room of more than 100 carrier owners and managers. “As the saying goes, if you got it a truck brought it.â€

Relying on some people here who are more in tune with "what's happening" these days in our fair city. Haven't gone out to party here in a long time, any advice on where to go to get a great pub atmosphere and lots of scenery on a Friday night.. Is Shannon's still good? Kings Head? Other suggestions???

I've been cracking up for five minutes, and they still just say "one week ago" :laugh:

I have kids around that age so his (or her) ability to find the humor in the situation is really quite refreshing.....perhaps it is therapy :laugh::laugh:

So a quick update for everybody...

The wife is still in the hospital and will be for the forseeable future, she now has strep throat and they cant seem to keep her blood pressure up.

However...the baby seems fine, so here's to hoping.

Thanks for all your good wishes guys, I really appreciate it. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated.

I would love to believe that on April 21st it will be 9 (which should be our normal temp for that day) but I have no faith they can predict the weather even 2 days in the future ESPECIALLY since the plus temps have been promised for 3 weeks :)

Yea, but I'm getting a lift in to get the van and what not tonight. And...you know...see how she's doing.

Good stuff, and congrats on the news. I'm sure it'll be great to be back together. Think about the stories you can now tell down the road. :nod:
