Most people own more than one towel. I'm just saying.

Since we've been empty nesters and moved into the new house and the new groove, my husband and I found that we've been sharing one shower towel all week long.

We only have to wash towels monthly.

You don't find that the towel stinks of must by the end of the week?

We don't have must in the US and we're not going to be stealing Canada's so just settle down.

No. It's only a work week thing that happens because he showers two hours before me and the towel closet is in one bathroom but the good shower in the other. On the weekends we go towel crazy.

I'm getting at least one kid home for thanksgiving (yay). I don't usually provide anything to the meal but my sparkling conversation. My husband has family recipes that I'd never be able to pull off perfectly being an outsider and all. So hubby and his sister do the meal. They're both pie makers that tacitly compete with each other. We'll usually have 3 or 4 pies to indulge in.

Maybe some Californian Southern gal transplant should make some corn bread and mail it to me.

Oh, and Thanksgiving was last month. Somehow, despite it happening every year, you guys always manage to run a month late on this.

They just hold it late so they can have a spectacle to call their own. Typical Americans. Not only did they steal our holiday, they hold it at the wrong time to boot. (Canada first Thanksgiving was was 1578, first "American" Thanksgiving was 1621, I say "American" cause y'all were still "The Colonies" then.)

True. Though eventually we stopped being British subjects and got to decide for ourselves who to put on our money besides the Queen.

Maybe you guys will get there too someday!

You guys are seriously over thinking it. If we did it earlier, we wouldn't have enough room to eat our Halloween candy. It's simple practicality. You have to spread out the holidays that we've turned into odes to gluttony a little bit.

What's next, you gonna suggest we move Valentine's and Easter to the same weekend? Would we have to have our cookouts in the snow? Chocolate bunny hearts?

Funny thing about the American Flag. Initially the stripes were to run vertical, but the Idea was scraped because the British flew similar vertical stripes to denote vessels of French Canadians.

I can see why the US wouldn't want to be confused with a French Canadian fishing canoe.

Also, you should learn what "horizontal" means.

I know the rest of it looks like Monopoly money, but we do have more than just the $20.

Well, it's nice then that your queen lets you pick out some of your money. Sort of like letting a toddler decide which shirt he wants to wear that day out of the two you already selected for him.

She can be pretty benevolent at times. But other times, she's down right ******* No way she'd let us put a slave owner on our bills. Dirty *****, taking away our choices.
