Incidentally I'm also from a parish that, at least for a while, had the highest cancer rate in the country. We probably still do.

You guys do have a lot of that "Ground Radeon" right?

Just leaks out of the ground and gives people cancer?

I actually don't know the reason, just the fact that we're cancerous folk. I wondered if it might have something to do with pesticides in the water...

What the Hell is ground radeon!?

It's a gas that seeps up through the ground, and into your house. It can kill, but most of the time it just makes you sick.

Hell, I dunno. Depends on how long it would take to give you cancer, I guess.

Ground Radon (sorry bout the typo) is gas that leaks out of the ground and gives people cancer.  Virtually indetectable... everywhere.  It's like the stuff in refridgerators.

It can happen almost anywhere i think but is REALLY prevelent in the south. 

Always good to have someone check for it before buying a new house.

I know a guy who's brother died because he bought a new house in Kentucky that had Radeon gas coming from the ground.

Nasty stuff.

Well Jesus! Maybe. I don't know. All I know is that there's a ton of cancer in nearly every family around here.

Could be that... could be genetic who knows... if it's all in one area i'm surprised they wouldn't look for enviromental reasons though.

Hm... there wouldn't happen to be a "Shintech" plant by you or your area being down river from one?

I think its a nice place too, especially the west coast. 

If you're planning to stay permanently, you got to learn to put "eh" at the end of your sentences, learn to like poutine, and hopefully your already a big fan of hockey!!
