  1. Wayne: I have two daughters myself and cannot imagine the worry and fear that is part of your families journey today. I have been taught to keep my life in 24 hour compartments. When I remember to do this, my day unfolds as it will and it is manageable. When I don't remember to do this, I get wrapped up in fear of tomorrow and regrets from yesterday. Another great lesson I learned when my wife and I were the Primary Caregivers for my mother in law ( Lou Gehrigs disease) was to "take care of the care giver". If the caregivers ( you and your wife and your daughter boyfriend) don't look after themselves, it will show it's ugly head very soon and usually in the most inopportune time and place. I pray that you and your family are carried by the guiding creator in your life and that your daughters current challenge is met with courage and strength and dignity by all. From my family to your, God be with you. Sincerely, Splashhopper
  2. Father was RCAF for 20 years. Aluminum repair tech on aircraft. Now my youngest daughter is in Air Cadets. She is the only child or grandchild to enter in to any arm of the Armed Forces. Tomorrow, my daughter will be marching with the other cadets to the cenotaph here and town and my father will be marching with the vets from the legion. After the services, we will be meeting up and hopefully getting pictures of the two of them in their respective uniforms together.
  3. I suffer from SAD as well. Last year two people I know suggested to me to start taking 2000-4000 units of Vitamin D per day. I couldn't believe the difference it made ! All my life I have struggled with this. I started taking vitamin D for this season 3 weeks ago at the 2000 level and bi-weekly move it up till I get to 4000 units per day. My doctor is ok with it, and my family is dam glad I am doing it again this year too
  4. I am pretty sure the view from the hospital doesn't look like this... so here is a pic for you, Jack, to look along the rails of your life and cherish all the beauty that your eyes have seen. God bless

  10. 6lb 3oz smallie, caught on watermelon sinking worm... I thought I was snagged, and then the "snag" took off like a freight train 25" long and 17" around same fish to add some perspective >>
  11. I smoked two cigarettes and it stunted my growth ! what are u whining about ? Congrats one 9 months.... keep up the good work.
  12. I still do background checks.... The only one I didn't do, cost me a business and it was based on the guy's "honesty". The first question the police asked me when they called me about the situation was if I did background checks on EVERYONE. They then informally suggested that if i was ever gonna do one on a guy, this would have been the guy i should have My role in this: do background checks on EVERYBODY before hiring them. PS:And I am NOT SAYING that the person referred to in the original posters thread is not honest.
  13. VERY IMPORTANT: Tell your friend NOT TO CROSS IN to the USA until AFTER she gets the Canadian Pardon. A friend of mine made that mistake from a pot charge he had from 19 years ago. He now has the Canadian pardon and is going through the American re-entry process now...So far, two years and persona non grada for the USA.
