Staying afloat without my boat

When you're really broke and down on your luck, you are able to see who your real friends are. For most people, unhappiness and uncertainty are like diseases to stay away from.
A lot of people I've met have the attitude, 'if you have a problem stay away from me.'
Yay for feelings of support and community.
The funny thing is, when you've been there for someone else, they will usually be there for you when you need them - and that's one of the best things life has to offer.
I know from experience.
The people who have even just said a kind word will be remembered.
I am always there for people, even when they don't deserve it... is that something I should change?
What I am saying is that I really appreciate everyone, and I eman eveyone (the few of you) who have been supportive, and kind and most of all UNDERSTANDING during our times of hardship.
I feel nothing but hope (okay maybe a tiny bit of fear) for whatever Norwegian adventure lies ahead.
And for those who have been scared away by our troubles... good luck to you. When you have your won troubles, you'll relaize that it's nothing to hide and nothing to be ashamed of. We all need someone, sometime.

I am planning a final Canadian thanksgiving. I'm going to make a traditional Aboriginal menu and spend the day outside.
If anyone wnats any of the recipes, I can post them here. I'll be saying good-bye to Canada and hello to Norway this fall.

On that note, we are looking to sublet our plateau apartment. If you are or know of anyone who is responsible, neat and relatively quite AND they are looking for an apartment, we have the goods!
