No. Her name was Sara though IIRC.

On a related note I think my dad did get a Herald subscription. The Herald tends to call us repeatedly within a couple of days regardless of whether or not we say yes or no.

When I woke up this morning there was a Herald on the kitchen table so I think we may have gotten a sub. We usually do during hockey season.

Good thing we have the blue bins now. I had to put an end to our Herald subscription a couple of years ago because it created nothing but a giant mess.

Actually that is why my dad cancels it during the non-hockey season. There is just so much paper for the 2 sections we read. (main and sports, sometimes Ent)

I'm not sure what you wrote. All I could read was "I'm 24 and still live at home with my parents."

I'm sorry I couldn't read what you wrote. All I saw was I'm an a**hole.


Actually, are you stalking me? How do you know how old I am? I'm sure I've mentioned it before but still...

Plus I'm Italian. Pretty much none of my male family, in Canada or Italy, moved out before 25. Actually, 30 is considered about the right time (for my family in Italy) and one cousin still lives with his parents in Italy. I plan on being out when I'm done University.

It just isn't seen as a bad thing in my family to be at home until mid 20s. There is statistical evidence to support the fact that Italian males in Italy don't move more than like a kilometre from home because they are so tight with their mothers.

You should be home. It nice that you're around to help your parents out.
I know that Italians are really big on family

Too late.

Didn't you say that your dad lurks here and knows your username? Well, now he knows that you're gay too! Too bad about your plan to save that bit of news until you're done university.

I don't know if they want me at home or not and to be quite honest the reason I'm at home isn't really because we are Italian and is more of a $$ issue.

That being said it probably does affect my views on moving out. I don't see living at home at the age I am is a big deal. I dont want to be a burden on my parents but I simply couldn't afford to live alone right now.

I have a set of US Marvel superheroes stamps. I have it beautifully displayed in a glass frame type deal.



I can't seem to find a pic of the back but it has a brief description of each hero's origin.

Mama's boy is the term. Is that why they're such giant babies on the pitch?

I also have 2 sets of Flames coins. One has the red C and one has the black C. I have a Flames stamp dispenser too, even though I have never, ever mailed anything by snail mail or ever bought stamps.

I just completed a task that was assigned to me 18 months ago.
It actually wasn't all that hard, but EVERYTHING else that was assigned to me too priority and bumped that down. Sure is nice to be able to see that gone from my list of tasks.
