The moving stopped when the family shuffled off to Calgary.

After graduating from HS I moved to Edmonton for a few years to go to school. I should add it was the longest 2 years of my life. Let's just say I hated living in Edmonton and having to endure thier very cold winters and obnoxious Oiler fans.

Upon graduating from NAIT it was back to Calgary for me.

In 2004 I got tired of big city life and moved to High River.

I thought I was the only person born in Estevan! well I was born in Regina but my parents had a motel in Estevan at the time so that was my first official home. I have never heard of anyone else being born there, or having heard of it for that matter

Hey I've heard of Estevan. I know almost all the tiny ass towns in Sask because of playing minor hockey and being a HUGE Nipawin Hawks (SJHL) fan when I lived there.

Melfort Mustangs were our biggest rival. And Flin Flon in the playoffs.

If anyone has heard of Nipawin, Tisdale or Carrot River I'll be impressed.

habernac · 07-15-2009, 10:30 PM

you only need to have family in Sask to know those places. And who hasn't heard of the sunniest place (Estevan) in Canada?

flip · 07-15-2009, 10:35 PM

I thought that was Swift Current.

I've heard of Tisdale.... even know where it is. My grandparents homesteaded up in that area of Saskatchewan and thats the area where my Dad was born and raised (Watson actually).
My Grandparents brother homesteaded in the Silver Park / Pleasantdale area

Google says the sunniest place in Canada is Medicine Hat, followed by Estevan.

Most sunny days in Canada is Calgary with 333. I don't think we'll be taking that one this year.

As long as you go for young enough guys you can be a cougar. I don't think anyone under 30 can be a cougar though. Have to be at least 30 and go for guys at least 10 years your junior.

So if any of you happen to live in Storybook (haha that name just makes me laugh), come August 21 you'll have a couple of new neighbours!

Oh the memories I have of Daysland. We used to date the girls up there and the local boys didn't like it too much. Many a fracas, I tell you. I just tried contacting one of those lovely Daysland ladies via Facebook, I don't remember how we parted ways, I think I may have been a jerk.

It could be possible that you know some of my family, my last name is encoded within my user name. I will give you a hint, it is commonly referred to as, the opposite of black.
