Can't say that St.John's is a rural area, and it is growing way too fast for my liking.

TPBM was born in a city of over one million people (when I was born, NYC had just over 8 million people).

 

True, Montreal.

The next poster was not born in a hospital.

 

False ............ I was born in Gotham Hospital (according to my birth certificate)

TPBM still has their original birth certificate.

 

Not sure; I'd have to check. What I do have is a doctor's letter that states my birthday is two weeks earlier than it actually is, so I wouldn't have to wait another entire year before starting kindergarten.

The next poster has also owned ID that misrepresented his/her age.

 

True, I look about 82 in my driver's license photo, or really hungover. Or both.
I've come to the conclusion that if people really do look like their driver's license photos, they probably shouldn't be driving.

TPBM is celebrating a Birthday today.

 

I smell a set-up. Oh, and it's true. Yes, thank you, thank you. You're too kind. No, I'm not expecting any gifts, because nobody here ships from Toronto.

The next poster misses the former mayor of this place.

 

True. John was a good person.

TPBM knows the meaning of "mensch".

 

True, and I hope I am perceived as such.

The next poster did something out of the ordinary yesterday.

 

True. I had the privilege of watching a very large and very black sow grizzly and her two cubs, chowing down before the long winters nap. She was not in the least concerned about the dozen or so cars that had pulled over to watch as she worked her way along the side of a hill.

TPBM has a lens and camera just to capture such moments.
