Wow! 9 out of 10 are actually positive things about Canada! I'm personally
done growing pumpkins for the season. I was just having some fun with a
friend. I am sorry,.......that you would allow yourself to be so offended.
There used to be a time in my life (at least in the USA) where we could
laugh at each other and ourselves. The computers in America have a delete
option on them. I use it all the time.
P.S. I will keep my "non-pumpkin" chatter off site from now on.
P.S.S. Two of my dearest friends are John and "Tootsie" McDonald.
John is the mayor of Sioux Lookout, Ontario, which is located in...well
Canada.
Lighten up Goutouski!

I have been a member of this list for a few years, seldom post, but
always reading with interest of everyone's trials and tribulations
trying for "the big one". Not got into the 1000lb category myself but
"there's always next year".
But this last post I found truly insulting.
Lets just talk about pumpkins folks - it is what brought us here.
