I think it includes Ed O'Neill.

Don Mills is North York.

But we like to think of ourselves as better than that.

Kinda like how Leaside is part of East York.

Finally touched base with Pops. He's all confused when he has to text.

He says he went to George S. Henry Academy .....in Don Mills. Apparently he's also sensitive about the use of "north york".

That's a little presumptuous isn't it?

Experience. Most Sri Lankan families I've known are first generation, and are still stuck in their ways. Even dating someone from a different caste is bad.

Seeing someone from a different race gets you kicked out of the family.

Chinese but acts black?

She and her brothers were the only 3 Asians in Scarborough who only speak English

Yrs 2 through 13 in Rodney...

That's right

Have to admit - I had to look up Rodney. My brother just bought a house in Dutton. He generally hates people so it's the perfect location for him.

Guy marries .....makes babies ....divorce's .....meets bouncy new South American gf (originally from Scarborough - what!!!!). It's a nice alternative to the traditional nuclear family.

I remember my Dad (RIP) we gave him an iPad to do facetime and he would put it up to his ear instead of looking at the screen, had us on the floor every time.
