Newcastle, OntarioI am the ONLY natural born Canadian citizen of my original family - everyone else was born in England.
I am obsessed with Ireland - I must have lived there in a previous life as it all has such a familiar feel to me, even though I've never been.
My parents were first cousins (that explains a lot, doesn't it LOL) and yes, it's legal in Britain and Canada.
hugs,
Brenda

Sunnie BearsJenn, I started kindergarten in Japan and was there until the end of 3rd grade. I used to know lots of Japanese, but I remember very little now. My 2 youngest brothers were 3 weeks and 1 year old when we moved there and came back to the states talking more Japanese than English, yet niether of them remember one word. I remeber a little bit of a song we learned in school, but couldn't begin to tell you what the words mean :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: one other quick little known facts (at least unknown outside of family) I am the only girl and have 4 brothers, all of us born within 6 years

Charles.
The actual James Bond car.
3. My friend Gary worked for Aston Martin Lagonda in Newport Pagnall, Buckinghamshire. One day my doorbell rang and (Naughty) Gary asked if I would like to go for a ride in a car he had to deliver. I went! It turned out to be the car used in the James Bond movie. The car, a silver metallic Aston Martin DB5 was amazing, it was fitted with a smoke screen, machine guns, ejector seat, blades that came out from the centre of the wheels to cut the tyres of the cars of enemies. There was also machine guns, a rising shield to cover the back window to stop bullets from getting through, a revolving license plate for Great Britain, France, and Switzerland. The part that I was worried about was the ejector seat, as I was sitting on it. There may well have been other gadgets to the car but I can't remember them now.
Hugs Jane.

It is a rose bud at the top of my thigh. Did my Mum freak out, but said she wasn't surprised. My kids thought I was going through a mid-life crisis.
I call it Freedom of choice...
dusty attic bearsGood for you Denise.My mum really told me off when I got my first tattoo. But she had one herself for here 50th birthday.So I got my own back and told her off too.
