Just trying to get a head count… I live in White Rock, and work in Yaletown. -FK ---

I’m in Kamloops as well … 🙂 While I’m here (don’t mean to hijack, but I guess I am anyway) - can anyone provide the link for the Canadope?. Thanks! ---

I’m in the process of buying my best **fiend** ’s house in Birch Bay. 🙂 I won’t be living there though, until I: A) get laid off; B) Find a job in the Bellingham area; or C) a miracle occurs and the company I work for allows me to keep my job and telecommute from a remote office. ---

I currently live in Vancouver, but I grew up in White Rock and I still make it out there on a fairly regular basis to see my parents (and my cats). Not to resort to clichés or anything, but what a small world. Now, **Fuji** , do you actually live in White Rock, or are you one of those people who really lives in South Surrey but claims to be in White Rock? Either way, it’s such a nice area. ---

That’s cool. You’re probably pretty close to my parents. They’ve got an awesome view. I’d like to still be out in White Rock, except I don’t want to live with my parents at this point and if I’m paying rent I don’t want to have to commute. ---

Thanks Flamsterette! Vancouver rocks … a little too big for this small-town girl, but I love visiting there. Was just there last week, in fact … visited my cousin in the West End - what a great location! Even got to watch the fireworks display … ---

I’d live there if your government would let me immigrate… Or maybe if I could just find a job there. Beautiful country you have up there! ---
