No aboot was not a typo!!!

No news

yay and the Ottawa spreadsheet is by my signature now :D

Mine too!

It will most likely grab some people's attention from those threads, but what will help most is if people would put it in their signatures. (Obviously, only people applying through Ottawa haha)
 
I've been waiting for the Ottawa spreadsheet :D. I'll tell the October people to get on there.
 
Good deal. Spread the word. It's "aboot" time we got the Ottawa spreadsheet going....lol
 
I just updated it to be sorted by the date when sponsorship was approved, since that theoretically ought to be the same time when our files were transferred. And it's already got almost 20 entries, so it seems like it's meeting a need, and hopefully it will give us a better idea how long Ottawa is going to take!

I saw that, I was really confused for a few minutes while I tried to figure out how it was even being sorted, and then once I figured that out I couldn't think of why anyone would want it sorted that way. But I suppose it makes sense now that you explained it.

Sorry, I guess I'm kind of clueless today haha
 
There is an Ottawa spreadsheet now? Can someone please add me to it? My info is under my username to the left.

speaking of things that are different between Canada and for me the US one of the biggest things is the way to date something like in Canada it is d/m/y and in the US it is m/d/y even after all this time I get confused unless the day is over 12...lol

funny story though. One of my best friends said to me "hey is saying Mum a Canadian thing? Because you always say it that way... but you also say dinner instead of supper... but Lori(a mutual friend) also says dinner so maybe it is a Seattle thing?!" I just laughed at her and said "Nope those are Canadian things... and Lori says it that way because she is from Canada too!" it was pretty funny!
