    America

    I can't speak for all Canadians, however, I have never heard this phrase used in Canada. French Canadians, yes - but that refers to Quebec and not France. I have never heard someone say "I'm Italian Canadian or German Canadian or even African Canadian. Now, you will see people be proud of...

    No. Canadians watch American tv and probably all of us on the Dis travel to the US frequently enough to be familiar with American slang.

    Did your college student study abroad?

    My daughter went to France for three months on an exchange when she was in Grade 8. It was a fantastic experience and I would strongly recommend any opportunity to live abroad and experience a new culture and possibly pick up a new language.

    Am I right or wrong to be annoyed long post

    It sounds like you were napping during the day. I would not be annoyed with someone calling me twice during the day when most people would be awake.

    Anyone here from Honduras? Or familiar with travel there? I might be having an adventure there in the near future.

    Honduras has closed all borders - land and sea. You would definitely be putting yourself at risk showing up there in a boat right now.

    I am almost 50, live pretty close to the border and also do not know a single person who has gone to the US for healthcare. The only time I hear about this phenomenon is on the dis boards.

    how I hate insurance

    I live in Ontario and I think I can explain how/when we use different levels of care. Maybe this will clear up some misconceptions. 1. I see my Doctor for non emergency issues. This is where I go for my annual physical. It is where I made an appointment when I was having acid reflux issues...

    Re-Excision Skin Biopsy for Atypical Mole? Your Experience...

    I have had a mole re-exised. Mine was also on my back. I was diagnosed with melanoma, so they wanted to make very sure that the margins were good. The re-exising was done during the same surgery where they took lymph nodes to determine if the cancer had spread. This was 18 years ago. I am...

    Swimming with Dolphins in the Wild

    I believe you can swim with wild dolphins off of Bimini (Bahamas). If you search Bimini dolphins, a few operators should come up.

    Stingray City Grand Cayman

    I would recommend a private company - the tour ship groups are very crowded. We used Stingray Sailing and were very happy with them. The tour also included a stop at a nearby reef if you enjoy snorkeling.

    I am a teacher who has organized a school trip to the UK. I worked with a major educational travel company and our initial parent meeting didn't have information regarding flights or hotels.
