Jon#1 = Sylver
Jon#2 = Soundjunky
If you were looking for me, for some kind of help, my # is in my info on FB... but I'm busy tonight.

@ Mark
It was good talking to you last night - would you believe that I pretty much called out of the blue, then about four hours later I went downstairs and saw/heard your message?

I can always make time...
but really...
what takes fifteen minutes?
I have my bible study group tonight - if it's any indication, last week I was the first out... at just after 10pm.
my personal email is also on FB - shoot me an email with what's up...

although the perception from Winnipeg might be that us Calgarian's are all rolling in money (keep in mind I've lived/worked there), in fact this isn't true...
In addition to higher average wages, our average cost of living is up from yours...
Back to the subject at hand though, Mark's in a hard place and although I know you're just messing, the timing wasn't as good as you had hoped.
Mark, I'll keep my finders crossed for ya...

you and I both know this... but I've lived & worked there...
I know the way it can be - which is in part why I moved back here.
I cannot say for certain if I would have been better for moving here or not though...
one thing that is shocking is how Autopac (MB-Provincial run insurance) used to be a far cry cheaper than AB insurance... but now it's just as pricey. FTMFLL
If not for my couple Winnipeg trips last summer, I would have felt 100% cheated out of summer last year... thier summers are freaking awesome!
