No way Michel you can't have New York.. we'll give ya New Jersey instead. ;D
But be worried.. we're bringing in reinforcements too....
OG.. welcome.. we're glad you're here. Any friend of Michels is ok in my book. We joke around alot here.. and have alot of fun.. but some of us unlike Michel are real gardeners. If ya ever want any answers don't ask him; some of the real experts would be glad to help ya out. I think we've all had small plots at one time or another.
I see we're getting a few new members this week.. so everyone else.. welcome too.. join in.. have some fun.
Dave

Finally!! We found an idiot who wants to keep Saskatchewan. Just give your price, we'll pay you. And Dave, it is very unchristian, even for a michiganite who can't write 2 sentences without 50 ''y'a'', followed by 100 ''y'a'' ( y'a see where y'a want ta go) to say things like that about me. I might only be gardening on a small terrace, but it is built over a great looking dog house and at least I stand high enough not to smell your language farts if y'a no wat I meen!!

I might only be gardening on a small terrace, but it is built over a great looking dog house and at least I stand high enough not to smell your language farts if y'a no wat I meen!! Now Michel.. how ya gonna conquer the world if ya can't understand the local dialects Eh? I'll compromise.. you can have wall street.. just we want it back once ya fix it. We'll be coming to your country next for our global plan of nation building. We americans can screw up any country.. friendly or foe. I don't claim to be a natural Michigander.. in fact this is one of the worst states i've ever lived in. If it weren't for the lakes all around and the forests up north this state would be unbearable. I'm actually from Maine myself.. you know where they "paak the caa at the baa" and walk home. So my language is sorta a hybrid from when i moved here and the local way of speaking. I had a real problem understanding when as a child people would be calling soda.. pop. Couldn't understand why they'd be calling something they drink their dad. Different things like i used to say it's quarter to three for instance when they would say 15 minutes till three, when someone asked what time it was. But, hey.. you can drive 20 miles south of me and Asx any baby daddy how to talk. So, i'm gonna keep using my slang on ya... i know you can understand it.. but it may be confusing for some other people who don't comprehend english as well as you do. Those are the times where you'll see me actually try and use the proper words. You i don't care about i know you're smart. Just something i've learned over the years of trading is that not everyone uses the same form of english. I can talk with people from louisianna and quite frankly it sounds as if they're uneducated by some standards.. but i know that's not the case at all.. it's just a matter of the way they were taught to talk. Same thing when i speak with people from china.. seems they like to use LOL and haha alot in their messages. It's not something that shows a lack of intelligence.. just the differences in communicating when we both speak different languages. I've learned not to worry so much about destroying the english language.. to me it's more important to just be communicating... we always seem to understand each other just fine. And ya know i think you're the best gardener in the world.. i was just joking about your great skills. You could garden circles around me any day. Dave

Frenchie, Why on earth would you want to give away Saskatchewan?? They have High Speed Internet, which is something I fail to be able to obtain here in Ontario??? And You wanted Wheat...Well let me tell you, they have Wheat!!! Where would Canada be on the International Markets if we didn't have Wheat?? We send it all over the world!! Maybe you should ask Ottawa if we can keep some of it here for a change?? Besides, Saskatchewan is Beautiful...Miles and miles and miles of flat land. I swear you can see Manitoba from the Alberta border. Now why would you want to give away something as exciting as that??

Dave, don't start to be apologetic when the fun just begins!! Shit, this forum has been a bore for most of the summer, now you inject it with fun and you're sorry?? Blue, I come from Shawinigan, I was born in the hills, here is flatland enough for me. So, YOU want to buy Saskatchewan???

You're right about that Buffalo thing. We tried to visit it before preparing an invasion but the city is so exciting , we all fell asleep right downtown on the sidewalk! This is a fortress of some weird sort, invaders beware!!

Hey, OG, good to see some more gardeners from the area too! Haven't been around much lately, too busy with work and kids and life! My garden has become extremely neglected. Have yet to start digging in manure and putting things to bed. Don't know if you remember, we met a few years ago at the farm, for a plant exchange.
If anyone close enough to my area is looking for horse manure, I've got a source! LOL As much as you want, and free, free, free.
