Where did you live to? Conception Bay, yes. But I'm not sure I feel comfortable enough to get more specific than that in a public setting. 1) Well, my son, me 'usbond worked into the gypsum at Flat Bay. I'm not good at speaking Bay anymore, but pride myself for passing for a native while living there. Ye mainlanders are all da same, my son. I'd pick ya frum da crowd for a joke! 2) Now why d'ya tink I needs the salt beef? I smuggled some in when my daughter and I went back in 2000, but that is long gone. Sigh, I can smell the turnips, the carrots, the cabbage and the bread pudding now Well not everyone uses salt beef solely for Jiggs dinner. There are many applications. In fact, I've seen it cooked with nothing but cabbage! Funny story: When we first moved there, my husband (also known as The Engineer) thought every other man on the mine crew was named 'Buddy' =+)). Ha! Yeah, every fella on da go is buddy! How's she goin', buddy? How's she cuttin'? We're left coasters now, returning to where we came from -- Cascadia. I'm trying to organize friends from Newfoundland for a 25 year reunion on *this* coast, but, Jeez, it's hard to get Newfoundlanders to travel. It's that strong sense of culture and connection that most of us feel. Well that, and the fact that none of us have two nickels to rub together! -Me __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Do you realize that this leaves the list without a Maiden Seriously folks, we have the Mother in Julia (and a few others, but I don't know if they're still around) in Debbi who is mothering a career and a few horses, and the Crone in me, but we need the Maiden. Anyone care to stand up to the role??? Anyway, Amities, all. Jo Anne Still Working on Goddesshood Maru ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
