hello everyone. fairly quiet community - there must be more of us out there! anyways, i am a wanderer, but am here for now.
i have a question for you's - i of course am on dial up. is anyone here on satellite high speed? my mom just went on it but is paying $400 for equipment & $60/mos. that's a little steep for me (though i am stupid and am paying telus $25/mos for crap).
i did get an offer in the mail from xplornet, they're prices are about the same, they have several packages that they offer. and they do offer a few different contract terms to avoid the equipment costs.
anyone have any thoughts?

Merry Christmas y'all. I've shared my Thanksgiving tradition and now I thought I'd share our new Christmas activity in our hick family:
 That, folks, is my dad in his very sexy outfit riding the family quad pulling a selection of kids and grandkids on a "sled". This so-called-sled is actually the hood of a car. Yup. I'd say that qualifies us as hicks.

Hello!
I have this large custom made desk that I would like to try to get from Medicine Hat to Portland, OR. My boyfriend and his dad made it when he was in high school, and although we have visited many times since then, he have not had the room to bring it back with us. It is rather large.
I would be willing to pay someone for transporting it. I am also looking into having a moving company move it for me, but I am sure that will get very expensive. (Any advice or suggestions for moving companies?)
Is anyone planning to come to Portland? Would anyone like to plan a trip to Portland? You could possibly stay at our house for a couple days! It is a beautiful city! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland%2C_Oregon
Thanks!
PS. This is crossposted in any Alberta community that I could find.
PPS. If you know Ryan, or his family, please don't tell him, I am trying to make this a surprise. : )

Yo kiddies. I'm Jackie. I'm 22. I'm from NYC. If this is out of place, please let me know... but I'm going to Alberta in a month for 2 weeks. Specifically the Banff area (and 1-2 hours in any direction). But being that I'm not native, I really haven't a clue on where to go.. and guidebooks give you crap and touristy things. I want some local info. Anybody got any?

My parents are doing one of the things that people in my industry hate:
My parents have 3 sexually mature male cats. They are not vaccinating the cats. They are not neutering the cats. They barely feed the cats, and when they do it is the worst cat food they can buy. They are not deworming the cats. They are not identifying the cats in any way. My Dad said, "If they roam, they roam. If they stick around until summer, then we'll neuter them," which is totally backwards! You neuter them and then they won't roam. I can just see the population of stray cats on the rise as we speak. And being as NONE of them are vaccinated, its going to keep increasing until a disease like panleukopenia wipes out the entire population, including these three sweethearts. Arrrgh!

My brother recently reminded me of some very hick-ish things about my family. In case there is any competition for the mosty hick-y:
Our family thought that liquor from a box was fine wine.
Our family would have a table of alcohol out, unattended, for everyone to help themselves at parties.
At a family party my brother, a child, became compeltely intoxicated on the fine wine from a box.
Out-hick that!

So y'all have heard of our family tradition and I just thought I'd let you know how it went. We had a blast. I have to admit I'm not very good, but nobody can be sure how not-good I am. There were six plates lined up on the stand, and I was shooting at the biggest every time. Pretty soon, it was the only one left and everyone was targeting it. After a very long time, my mom finaly piped up "I bet that's the Melmac plate". I took out the binoculars and could see that the plate had at least eight holes in it, but was not breaking apart. After that, I would look through the binoculars after each shot.
Frustratingly funny.

Wow, that's very crazy.
I'm Robyn. I live in a town. I don't really qualify as a hick I don't think but I am posting here... doesn't really make sense but it's fun and I am from Alberta so that has to count for something right?

Hi, I'm Tlouey (aka Sara) and I live in a little hick down NorthWest of Ponoka, AB, Canada. I am currently 17, I just graduated from High School in June, and I like horses, drumming, art, photography, cars and music of many kinds. I hope to attend CATO in Kelowna, BC next year to become an Animation Artist and maybe one day even have my own cartoon series! I am the founder of this community.
I created it one day because I thought that Alberta needed it's own little carefree - fun (informal) community on Livejournal where Alberta-unique people could get to know each other and post stuff Alberta related... because if you're not from Alberta, you'll never truly understand an Albertan! (or something) Heh, anyhow, I really don't have any preset expectations for this community... so lets just see if anyone joins and where it goes!
THE Alberta LJ Community -- the more formal approach
