Well folks, I moved to BC to find a nice teaching gig, and I did... In New Zealand.  I just got offered a job in Whakatane, New Zealand (in the Bay of Plenty region).  So in less than 2 months I'll be on a plane speeding towards the southern hemisphere.  Yeah me!  But that does mean that you'll have to continue to put up with me for another month or so.  Since I'm moving I will have to be getting rid of a thing or two...  namely my car. 

If anyone out there is interested in purchasing a '92 Cutlass, that's still in great condition (I've taken very good care of it as I'm paranoid about road safety), drop me a line.

I have a copy of the yearbook which houses them, yes.  The only way to see them is to come to my house, or track down one of my former students.  So I suppose the question is, how badly do you want to see them?

As a matter of fact, there are pictures of me wearing a Catholic School Girl's uniform out there.  Part of a stage show for a school I used to teach at in Toronto.  All in good fun.

Do you have these pictures?  May I see them?  ^__^

Jaffas are chocolate balls coated in hard candy much like Smarties or M&Ms but the candy is bright orange and tastes like oranges.  They are so yummy.

Dress up a woman, or dress up AS a woman? 

LOL, I meant "as". Proof positive that a single typo can make a world of difference to the meaning.

I think it is a shame that this venerable tradition didn't carry over to air travel. ;)

And chocolate fish...  even Fanta is hard to come by.  Hokey Pokey, rasperry ice...  and unless you know someone who makes it, you can't get pavlova.  But you know what I really miss?  Passion fruit sauce...  yum!

Ummm, Jaffas, I was to busy bitching about the lack of MintSlice, TimTams and Dara Lee to even notice they don't exist here.

I just want to know if you are planning to do the traditional dress up a woman and get your ear pierced thing when you cross over the equator?

Dress up a woman, or dress up AS a woman?  Not that I have a big problem with either.  And since I'll be flying, not sailing, I'm not sure that the same traditions apply.

It seems that negotiation is quickly becoming a lost art.  $4,200 is the asking price.  I'm willing to go lower if need be.  I only have a month and a bit to sell the darn thing... I mean fine piece of automotive craftsmanship.  No, really.  It's a great car. :)

Gah, if I had $4200 I would be in school by now.  Oh well, too bad.  I guess I don't really need a car.

And stop offering!

I'm asking 4,200 or best offer for the car.  I would consider giving it away (especially to someone like you), but I need the money to finance the move.

As to me going away, my offer still stands ;)

Will you give me the car for free acuz you love me so?  I thought not...  what are you asking for it?

I am sad that you are leaving...  Not fair, not fair at all.  I hope you're happy there, though...
