> [@GingerOfTheNorth](#): > > :dubious: **Ginger** , my friend (and I presume that, based on our only meeting), the ONLY pit thread I “earned,” and which I cannot link to because I am too lazy and stupid, was based on a misinterpretation by the Pitter that I hated Canada. FAR from reality it is! And, were I a sexist jerk, which I am, I’d add that you, as a woman I once met IRL, are a LOVELY representative of your homeland! big 😃 that I hope heals all wounds, real and perceived, and a virtual hug if they don’t. (peeking out from under the dining room tablecloth) We’re okay, right? ETA, to make my debasement clearer: As a Minnesota kid, I always thought of The Great White North as not only an option, but one where I’d feel At Home. ETA: Did I grovel enough? 'Cuz really, groveling comes to me naturally. ---

'Cuz really, groveling comes to me naturally. Ok, I feel like I’m supposed to touch you on the top of the head and let you rise now. I don’t remember that pitting. And if you were a Minnesotan kid, at least you wouldn’t bitch about the weather should you move North. But, they’d still make fun of the way you talk. ---
