[ddierolf]

I think you skipped the answer to number 7!

[chinacat46]

Yeah what he said. What about #7?

I see you were not born at the time of collection

your assertion is false, i was in fact alive at the time of collection.

I see you were not born at the time of collection

your assertion is false, i was in fact alive at the time of collection.

I guess that means your profile is incorrect (18-27).

[Walter]

No. My assertion was a reference to information you provided. If you're older than 27, it's not my mistake. OTOH, unless you're a great deal older than 27 you still had nothing to do with the collection of said rocks. I'm 48 and I was a child when those rocks were collected.

[DivingGal]

oops..
7 Which ethnic group had to pay a head tax to gain entrance to Canada?

Chinese-Canadians

sorry about that

[DivingGal]

I don't know any of the answers to the questions. THough i do know that I will be going up to B.C. in Sept! Whats the weather like then? do you know?

Depends on where you go in BC. The Lower Mainland (Vancouver area) and Vancouver Island should be great. What I remember when I lived there, mild temps, a lot of sun, and not too much rain.

I believe if you're heading to the mountains, you'll find the temps dropping in the evening.

I've gone on several diving trips in Sept to BC. If you are lucky, they will be having an "Indian Summer" and you will have nice weather. It's either that or rain.

as are the age ranges of many on this board, to include some of the owners/admins.

[Walter]

If there are errors in your profile, then you must expect people to believe things about you that aren't true. If you want people to know the truth, edit your profile to fix the errors.
