    America is wealthier? I always thought it was poorer. And when I was a kid, we resented Americans constantly telling us how great they were. It was like having a cousin who would come over every day and tell you how awesome his house was, but you’d been to his house and it smelled funny.

    I am already not going to be her friend.

    PS: I grew up in a town in NM from which came an astronaut. We thought he was pretty cool, but then he became a state Senator and turned into pretty much of an anal sphincter.

    (and yes, with those clues, you probably can figure out where I grew up)

    About to hurl in Mr. Toilet, although he keeps insisting I call him “Lou”.

    “Allison” or “Al”, I do believe I’d avoid her either way.

    Why did you have to make her Canadian? :-(

    Not a day goes by that I don’t think how fortunate I am to live on the north side of the 49th parallel.

    She can’t be Canadian, eh? She doesn’t end her sentences with an “eh?”

    My experience is that Oregonians don’t worry too much about the rest of the country, they feel they live in the coolest place anyway.

    A bit too parochial for me. Pretty much everywhere resents somewhere. If you think resenting will help, do lots of it …
