IF NL is PC I will use NFLD lol (now that is allot of Acronyms used in one sentence), I grew up in the maritimes and always referred to the rock as either the rock or NFLD.

How do you think I feel, at least you get a choice of two or three letter abbreviations to go on.  I'm from NS, which beats being US.  Then again, I was born in the UK, or GB.

[armyvern]

You know that you are from the East Coast when:

1) It costs you 32 bucks to buy a 24 of Keith's ~ an East Coast Beer ~ in the Liquor Store in Oromocto, NB last week; but

2) It only costs you 27 bucks to buy the same damn 24 in Saint-Jean, Quebec 20 minutes ago!! And at a friggin' gas station at that.

WTF is up with that??

Well, to be fair, that is not the front yard, it is the back. And, we live on another property, which is also ours, while still having a house on that one. Man, we own the middle of town
