Can We Get the New People to Say Hi?
Chanterais:
Hiya James,
No, I'm going to university in Toronto, Canada (at the imaginatively named University of Toronto), but my parents still live in London, and I consider it home in the most basic and fundamental way. This summer will be the first time in a long while that I won't be back. I'm going to miss is so much. Ugh, me in Toronto in the humidity. Fun, fun, fun.
No, I haven't heard of Bets-y-Coed. I have to know how to pronounce that, though. Is it 'betsy code'? I've got it all wrong, I'm sure!

That's quite funny you should say that, because that is exactly how all English tourists pronounce it when they're there, but is unfortunately wrong.
It's pronounced Bet-oos Err Coyd.
As for humid summers... well it certainly rained a lot where I grew up, so I know how awful rainy summers can be - hope it isnt too bad this year in Toronto!

Welcome, maggiemommy, James, and all! So refreshing to hear new voices on this board! Fran, your story is a lot like mine, so we can be depressed together and so maybe not so depressed. I also have two teenagers, one heading out the door this fall to uni, as they say here. And I'm about ready to panic because she's the only one in my household who shares my love for BBM and views on the world, being inclusive and loving others for who they are rather than condemning. For the past week or two it's dawned on me that I am embarking on a full blown mid-life crisis! I'm just trying to get used to the idea; it's scary, but also elating, because there are so many possibilities out there, that I had turned my back on until recently. Maybe I'll just sneak off to uni with my daughter! That's probably her worst nightmare. I hope I do at least one thing radical during this crisis and not lose the opportunity! Wish me luck!

Front-Ranger, I am sorry to say that it makes me feel less alone to know that others are having major mid-life crises and thinking of making serious changes, because this is happening to me too, as I am approaching 40! maybe we should have a 'mid-life crisis' victims' convention some time?
