It drives me crazy when people don’t know their geography! St John is in New Brunswick. St John’s is in Newfoundland. NOT that hard to remember people! —Grr

But sometimes it IS hard to care lol!
(sorry, took extra saucy pills this morning)
I wants me some of them pills, RosieNoir:) Then I can comment on people who misprounounce Newfoundland, a peeve of mine that ranks right up there with misplaced esses.
It drives me crazy when people don’t know their spelling. The city in New Brunswick is Saint John. The city in Newfoundland is St. John’s.
Okay I’m just kidding. It doesn’t drive me crazy. I used to get them confused, too. What d’ya expect from a CFA Westerner?
I had some of those saucy pills today too, Rosie! hahaha
Yes I have also heard from people from SAINT John that they hate when people spell it with an ‘St’ because it’s supposed to be ‘Saint’
I used to confuse the two when I was a kid, lol.
Best I’ve come across. Norfolk Va. Even the state news service pronounces it No-fuck. For real 🙂
Yes, mel! Thank you! OP – YOU SUCK. It’s Saint John. they NEVER spell it St. It’s completely incorrect. It’s NOT THAT hard to remember!
I can forgive that and even the fact that some people think Toronto is Canada’s capital, but griping about our president and quoting the American constitution in regards to Canadian rights is too much.
I still mistake the 2 OP. And the only pills I’m taken are vitamins. I’m actually having a pretty decent Monday.
okay o.p., now we can move on to halifax, dartmouth, and how about georgia, or even phillidelphia?
what’s in a name? who really cares? unless you are going there, or live there.
rosie, saucy pills? and chicky, i thought it was newfundland? i sit corrected, i would stand, but i get too dizzy from this fucking flu.
Flu sucks Life Sucks. Hope you are back to your Suckulous magnificence soon.
RC, easy way to remember:
new brunswick comes before newfoundland alphabetically…
and so do their respective John cities….
LS, my life just got a little worse, so I felt like being a wee bit saucy… that’s what happens to me: When the going gets tough Black Rose makes jokes. I also do it in awkward situations– and at funerals.
What’s happening now Rosie. RawK?
Well, Ivan thanks all the other crap… I will be homeless as of Friday…
… well that sucks (not sarcasm)
Which SJ is better than the other?
Rosie – WTF? Don’t you have a lease? I do believe that the landlord is required to give you a three month notice. As far as I know, you cannot be eviced in the winter, uness there is criminal activity.

That’s what I thought too Hugo, but apparently I can be bounced with only 7 days notice without a lease… and that winter thing seems to be pure urban myth.
Rosie, check out the legality of the landlord renting to you without providing a lease. Try blackmail yet? Threaten him with litigation, that might buy you a few week to find a new place.
The only people that give a fuck are the people in st johns and st john.
meh
if you refuse to move, by the tenencies act, they have to have a hearing, a he/she cannot bounce you til that date or after. that is as far as i know.
i have an old copy of the act here, but not so old that most things are still the same. a guy i knew a few years back, protested in writing to the oard, it tok 7 months to get heard, and all the while, he stayed put, the owner couldn’t kick him out, and he could not change the locks by law.
and a guy just down the hall from me, hadn’t paid rent since sept. 2009, and he finally moved out about a month ago, on his own.wasn’t that he didn’t have the cash, he just didn’t want to pay his rent. after he bought a new car, big screen t.v., and a whole lot of other shit. the guy that owns the place where i live, is just too good sometimes. rosie, try him, mail me for his number, there is one you might be able to get, a.s.a.p., but don’t say anything about poochie, he doesn’t like animals in building.once you are in, a different story if poochie is not noisey, or making a mess all over the yard.
one other guy that was here, had a golden lab for about a year, before he moved out west to work in alberta.and i never ever heard his pooch make a sound,right across the hall from me.
Rosie, computer savy?
If by savvy hon you mean: ‘Can you post on LTWWB’? Then yes… how savvy do you mean?
This savy.

what happens when you try to reference a place in Saint John ?
“that’s at the Saint John’s Cora’s/Giant Tiger/Liquidation World….”
this must be why they need Saint spelled out.
It’s so they know where they’re going.
sadly, it’s not always so clear…..

I read all about that when it happened, z3, and I was so fascinated that they were really so geographically inept that they didn’t notice when booking the tickets, or during their stopovers… wow.
Hate to break it to you folks, but once your get past Maine, nobody knows where Nova Scotia is, well…except for the Scots.
love the avatar hugo^^
Hey painey, my av, can you guess “who”?
well, even my fevered brain would guess they are whippets…so they ate the monsieur?
Ohhhhh, NO. The poor doggies would get sick from the rancid meat.
Yes, they’re his. But now I wonder, what’s the proper terminology? Are they his bitches, or is Annie their bitch?
Hot apple cider & spiced rum for what ails you pg.
They could be Italian Greyhounds.
Oh, and speaking of dogs (were we?) If you have nothing better to do on Sunday:
