I haven't taken my kids skiing yet, it would be super fun though. Which
resort were you thinking of? Lake Louise is nice, so is Sunshine, I haven't
been to Marmot Basin in a looooooong time, but those are the three I
recommend. At Sunshine though, you at least have a Hotel right on the
mountain, and they've expanded quite a bit. It's been well over 10 years
since I've been skiing, geez I should change that. lol

I haven't even thought about a country yet let alone a resort.
I'll check some brochures and then the map to see where you are.
Try and take the twins whilst they are still young, they learn so much
easier.
Freddie is the same age as your two and he picked it up in two days. After
three he was ski-ing down the mountain unaided.

Hmm I dunno about that, my children are afraid to try anything... I mean
they get really upset at new encounters (since their accident) so I'm not
sure how'd they react. (I need some tips on overcoming fears in general)
But what I'll do this winter is take them to the bunny hills around town and
try them out first before travelling 5 hours to the Rockies. lol

That is odd, kids are usually up for anything.

>(I need some tips on overcoming fears in general)

Like lock them in a room full of spiders and that kind of stuff?

I find that enthusiasm is best. Get exited about doing something new, make
it an adventure!

Naa! Head straight to the top of thye mountain. They willfall over about 20
times. Take them upagain and the next time they will only fall 10 times.
After three days, they won't fall at all!

Since their car accident they seem to be afraid of their own shadows. *sigh*
I keep telling them that I would never make them do anything that they
wouldn't like. For instance we went boating out at the lake and they were
terrified but I made them do it anyways, and after of course they loved it.
I just feel awful forcing them to do things for their own good. :(

That would be my version of hell on earth, unless I had plenty of kleenex
and a fly swatter.

Yeah that's what I've been doing, but I'm still having to be forceful.

Hmmm perhaps they're alot like me after all, my father made me go up the
mountain and I was petrified, I cried half the way down because I was afraid
of falling/cliffs/going too fast (I look at that mountain now and roll my
eyes). Yeah after a couple days I learned to cope and he was having to
chase after me. Thanks for the reminder Dennis.

I was talking to Pete about it and we both agreed it was probably one of our
best holidays ever.

I'd say more but if I ranted on about all the amazing things we'd seen and
done I'd probably be accused of advertising for the Canadian tourist board.

I'm so glad. It was just ..indescribable.. having you here, and Pete's
a complete delight.

I dunno, I didn't think standing would be part of it. I was assuming more
of a grovelling posture would be needed.

Well, I'll sponsor you.....that's what you need, a fine, upstanding
Canadian to sponsor you. Oh wait! Maybe you should try Christine or

Flirt, you say? FLIRT? Is THAT what you think this is? Here I am,
divorced for lo these 12 years come October, and not even an interest
in *finding* a man, never mind flirting with one, and yet, you call
this FLIRTING?

[gasp]

Of course, I suppose it could be argued, that in 12 years, I forget
what flirting looks like.

But nobody would argue a thing like that, would they?

Everyone who's reading this newsgroup to start with. Currently that seems
to be 4 or maybe even 5 people.

And there's me thinking *all* Canadians are both fine and upstanding. Ah
well, back to the drawing board I suppose.

Then again, and, naturally, only as a last resort, I suppose I could just
marry one. Purely for the citizenship of course.

Recently, yes but didn't you say something in the group a good while ago
about moving to the UK?

And he doesn' even know me. Oh dear.

BTW should I know about this boyfriend 'cos I don't think I do? Have I lost

Is that what we're doing?

Should I be worried?

Am I any good at it?

I should be told, I think.

I did indeed say that I didn't have a criminal record and that's perfectly
true. It's hardly my fault if they've never been able to prove anything is
it?

I think I may have a possible explanation. Maybe I'm not a man. Any
thoughts?

Sit down, Cele, and put your head between your legs. You've gone quite a
funny colour.

Then again, how much of it have you ever done? For myself I can state
categorically that I've done virtually none at all, ever.

Not unless they were trying to cause trouble, that's true.

That'd be a real shame.

Me either. I suck at it. I know this because when I went on a women's
retreat this past February the topic came up and this woman decided to
tell us how it's done. She is from some country where such things are
part of the natural interactions between women and men, according to
her. Anyway. Not only was I specifically told that I suck at it and
show no potential at all, but I was even embarrassed by *her*
demonstrations. LOL

So I think I have been officially declared a lost cause. Ah well......

I believe I said I was considering a teacher exchange for a year or

Then maybe *she* sucks at it. Subtle is often best IMHO. The ones that
don't get subtle I can live without.

Still, if you feel you need more practise I'm sure some here would be happy
to oblige. Off you go.

I've cycled behind you around Stanley Park so trust me on this you have

good, IYKWIM, but I'm thousands of miles away so I'm not.

That was then, this is now. Stuff changes, live with it.

Once again, you need to try to keep up. If it would help you to do that I'd
be more than happy to type slower.

You mean on that camp site in the forest? Heck, don't blame me, I was just

Well, I can do....um.....a bit of jive, a bit of tango and, uh...the

There is no way on Earth I'm ever likely to *forget* those damned trenches,

Well, I know, but they had to be deep, because of the torrents,
remember?

Depends on what it is. If it takes a lot of effort, say, to get a
label off a jar, then the hell with it. Toss the jar, say I. On the
other hand, if we're talking about important relationships,
absolutely, it is. The amount of effort that makes a thing worth it,
depends on how important the thing is to you and yours, including to
your value system. IMO. OTTOMH. oh no! NAA!

I can't think of many crimes I could commit whilst being asleep and none of

No, no and another no for good measure. I lived there close to 10 years ago
and hated it. Perhaps it's changed, but one of the things that would've
been nice is something open on Sundays... the whole town shut down half the
weekend. Yeesh. Hmmm I wonder if the boys were conceived on a Sunday, geez
I wouldn't doubt it. lol

I have a feeling we may have been looking for something different out of the

The interior of BC is lovely, that I remember quite well. The camping trips
were quite fun.
