Ginger, I have but one question for you…will you do that thing with the bottle again? ---

Please tell us about the NWT. How did you find yourself there, in what community did you live and for how long, what were the people like, what did folks do for work and play, what was the land like, do you want to return? ---

**Max** - Yes. But only for you. **Muffin** - I no longer live there, but I spent approximately eight years in Yellowknife, NWT (the capital), on and off. I moved up there after I was laid off from my job and was looking for a bit of an adventure. My sister had moved there the year prior to that, and I missed her and my niece. I began working there as a nanny, and later switched back to Insurance, which is what I had done before and still do. The brokerage I worked for was owned by Inuvialuit people, the largest aboriginally owned brokerage in Canada. The land was beautiful at first and then began to wear on me - I’m happiest while surrounded by big trees, and the trees there are kind of stunted. For the terrain, imagine the area around Kenora/Lake of the Woods. The people there are like people anywhere, I suppose. They will stop for you if you’re pulled over on the side of the Mackenzie Highway…this is something that I have had to learn _not_ to do while living in the mountain parks. Here, people pull off to hike. There, people pull over in times of trouble only. I do _not_ want to return. At least, not to live. I will visit, however. My parents and sister (& family) live there. ---

**detop** - You ask what I like on my bagels, of course. And the answer would be Montreal smoked meat. **TequilaMo** - Nope. They love it. However, as a child, I had the same question, and thought I would give Otis (my beloved goldfish) some cool, refreshing Coca-Cola. I don’t have a fish anymore. **Crusoe** - I have an inny. All the better to do belly-button shots. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by GingerOfTheNorth \* > > **Crusoe** - I have an inny. All the better to do belly-button shots. \*\* Belly-button shots? I’ve been trying to suck coca-cola out of my belly-button for like 10 minutes now, and I can’t do it! ☹ Instructions, please! Also, given the fact that **Astrogirl** is horribly ticklish, how can I talk her into letting me do belly-button shots from her luscious belly-button? ---

**geekbooks** - Long time no see! An Attractive Nuisance is a condition that can attract and injure children. Occupants of land on which such a condition exists are liable for injuries to children. This would not be a good thing, so I’d like it very much if you would remove the combination bear-baiting pit and skateboard park you put in your back yard. **Astroboy14** - Dude, you’ve been overseas too long. Belly-button shots require that you have a second person to suck - waitaminnit - does **Astrogirl** even exist? Why haven’t we seen her pictures? Is it _her_ panties you’re wearing on your head? Just distract her, babe. I’m really ticklish too, yet belly-button shots have been performed on gingytummy. **Whammo** - honey, we’re gonna have to find you a girlfriend. You may have **Bungirl**. ---

**jr8** no. But if you’re nice, I’ll tell you the login and password to my webcam. All Ginger, alla time. **Bosda** - No! No! A thousand times no! You didn’t take care of the goldfish, the turtle, the lizard, the kitten, the dog, or the emu. I am NOT going to give you a pony. As for a nickel, I could handle that. Canadian or American? **Ethilrist** - I’m an over achiever. It actually now reads “1179” 😃 ---

=====screech. Sorry I’m late, but I have a question. Ginger, is it really true that you’re a Viking, and do you, like, rape and pillage and stuff? If so, could I sort of give you my address? I’ll give you muqtuq. Mmmm. Whale blubber. Now I’m hungry. ---

**Slip** - Aw yeah, baby. I’m a Viking wench named Thorhild, here to rape and pillage Woodbridge, Ontario. I tired of Kingston awhile back - too many loyalists. By the way, I’m madly in love with you. Please tell me you’re a boy. ---
