Hi from Canada!

stratmaniak · #1 February 12th, 2006

Hi, guys & gals!

I'm Ron from Ontario, Canada. I've been playing (or at least trying to) play guitar for more years than I care to admit. I like Blues, Country, and Classic Rock styles of music. I stumbled into this site while surfing around the 'net...It seems to be a very cool and informative place to pick up some knowledge about guitar playing.

Yes one of my home boys is here

LOL welcome to this site I think you will find it very useful here. and if you are stuck on something all you have to do is ask and we can help you out!!!

Thanks for the welcome, Canuck-Playa! Good to know I'm not the only one here from the great white north!

Hey, your not the only one EH! I'm off to Timmies' for a coffee and bagel in a bit. Reminds me of a joke. Two Canadian men and a Canadian woman are stranded on an island. Three months later the 2 men are still politely insisting the other date the lady first. Mean while the Canadian woman has almost finished building a Tim Hortons. You have to be a Kanuck to really get it.

LOL!!

That Timmies brew is potent, be careful! I've developed intestinal problems and am told by my doc to stay away from coffee...

but man, is that stuff addictive!! Been off coffee for a week now; but I'm having a hard time bypassing the drive-thru!! (I must admit, I am starting to feel better...but man, do I need a double-double!!!!)

Hello. I just got back from Tim's. I'm from the east coast. I'm settling in for the day here. There is a blizzard getting ready to hit.

Thanks kush

I liked Bryan Adams earlier stuff...songs like "Cuts like a knife, Run to you, Heaven"...I've not listened to him in a while, not too sure what he has been up to.

Thanks, Clancy

That bagel sounds good! As far as the coffee goes, we have a "love/hate relationship"... I love Tim's coffee, but it hates me.

Try a bagel and a cup of tea. It's a good combination.... really!

I know you can't get it at Tim Hortons, but have you tried dandelion root tea? It's not a bad coffee substitute. It's bitter (like coffee) but is good for you! I must admit, I do drink coffee as well, but I limit myself to one cup a day now... otherwise.... well, let's just say, I can get a little tense.

Your making me hungry!

Okay you've done it now. I'm putting bagels down on my shopping list!
Just one question: What's the best thing to put on them, eg. butter, cheese?
