Modern North Americans have got to be the biggest "holier than thou's" on this planet when it comes to food. Not uncommon to eat horse, or jackass for that matter, in Europe. We get on our high horses because the Chinese eat dog on the other side of the ocean. We get into stupid arguments over which species of fish should/ should not be consumed. Reindeer has always been a popular meat in Scandinavia, yet people here will protest the sale of it at specialty import shops. By the way, I like spring bear and curried goat. These are the arguments of a society that has more than it needs, and lacks for near to nothing. A society that consumes far more meat than the world average, and certainly far more than is good for most of us. We have the luxury of deciding what is too cute and cuddly to cull. The ARA's play on these selfish based emotions to promote their agenda

We want fish porn

We usually drop a 100 every time I'm up to Orillia on one of my 16 hour day trips. Brekkie, dinner, and top up the tank. Heck of a lot more if the Mrs hits Rama. But I will not subsidize any town council. Just the same as NOTL with there resident only fishing permit. I won't spend a dime in that municipality.

I have a couple of great nieces and nephews who want to go fishing with this old grey beard. Guess I'll have to drive them to Orillia and spend my money there.

Just beware the twisted sister......

Sure makes me feel welcome

That is so neat.

It's the ones that can take a joke, and handle the ribbing, that are worth keeping around. So far, the daughter has not brought around any I would deem worthy. Although there was Matt, one of my scouts and part time sons, but Anna thought that would be like dating her own brother.

I've been spooled once by a big carp in spring, It picked up the dough bait at the creek mouth and took off like a freight train back into L Ontario. It never slowed down for an instant. A good 400' of line is still out there somewhere.

I have never been afraid of my daughter's encounters with boys as a teenager. Mind you, once the lads have been introduced to my fine collection of blades and axes, and some of the gun toting uncles, the lads become very, very afraid. Come to think on it, I've revoked and confiscated the man card of every fella Anna has ever dated. I find this form to be very handy. I know it has been posted before.

What is the current going rate of a hotel room? ______________________ RULES: Initial each Rule after reading. Rule One: If you talk with foul words and dress like a bad ass, a punk or a wanna-be-gangster I will toss you right out on your tush. Rule Two: If you date my daughter you date only her. She has a kind heart and I will not have you make my her cry; if she does, I will make you cry. You may only date ONE of my daughters. EVER. Rule Three: You must know how to fish as well as I have taught my daughter(s) to fish. Frozen dinners do not count. My daughter ain't providing for you. Rule Four: Do not be hurt when my daughter chooses a day fishing with me over sports or gaming time with you. She was raised that family comes first and until there is a ring on her finger, I am her family, not you. Rule Five: Do not date my daughter for her money because I am her bank. Do not expect gifts, she has been taught to be a savvy shopper. Rule Six: Don't sleep with my daughter; the only rubber you should be concerned about is out in the driveway and has Goodyear stamped on it. Rule Seven: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a pudgy, baggy-eyed, last-season, has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the king of her universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth. If you do not I will ask her. Do not trifle with me. Rule Eight: My daughter has been raised to respect herself, so keep your hands to yourself. Offending body parts will be removed by me with a dull spoon. Rule Nine: Do not be hurt when my daughter chooses spending time with me over spending time with you. She was raised that family comes first and until there is a ring on her finger, I am her family, not you. Yes, I know this is also Rule Four. It is an important one. Rule Ten: My daughter is not a toy. She does not have Hasbro, Mattel or any other toy company tattooed on her person. Hence, she is not an object for you to play with, manipulate, and discard at your leisure. I've spent many years raising and loving her , and will unleash an unimaginable amount of anger such that the movie 300 will look like an episode of the Little House on the Prairie should you cross me.

We were empty nesters. Now we are moving to bigger digs as the kids return to the roost

For whitefish, scale and gut it. Make a standard poultry stuffing and add shrimp or crab, fill the cavity. Spice the outside with salt, pepper, parsley and sage rub with butter and drizzle with lemon juice. Wrap in tinfoil and bake in oven

Lindners Angling Edge - questions Evolution
bigugli replied to farsider's topic in General Discussion
Lindner has as much right to express his opinion as you or I. We also have the choice of listening to his opinion or not. Whether you like it or not, he is merely trying to live by the tenets of his faith. Evangelism/ spreading the "Good News", is a fundamental pillar of Christianity. Good for him in professing his faith and practicing what he preaches. A lot more sincere than the millions who are "Christians" only at Christmas, baptisms and weddings. -
Most hospitals are not big on letting patients know about that resource. After my heart attack, in 2000, the advocate actually stopped by my room to introduce himself at Hamilton General. Other hospitals have brochures in the patient room. Others again, you need to read a hospital directory.
-
Every hospital is required to have an ombudsman/advocate to represent a patient's interests, or take a patient's concerns to the appropriate management. A person who essentially knows who to go to when you have a problem that hospital staff do not want to address
-
Have been out of that public sector loop for some time, but hospitals were required to allow/ recognize/ fund a patient advocate or ombudsman. From what I understand that still remains in effect.

The bigger and more complex our world becomes, the more difficult it becomes to return to normal after a weather event. In a major city, close to half the infrastructure is outdated or beyond capacity. After the Quebec ice storm, hydro crews were still busy repairing the damage 6 weeks later. 2 and 3 years after Katrina they were still rebuilding. Sadly, living in a low rise or high rise leaves you with very few options for emergency preparations.

As said before, those standards differ from hospital to hospital, department to department, school to school. That as clear an answer as you will get. MD's do not discuss policy or standards outside the fold. I spent 9 years in Hospital administration during the amalgamations in the 1980's. TO quote a line from M.A.S.H., "There are no saints in surgical garb".

Although medical science is advancing considerably, patient care has declined. As to the c=section: 30 years back a primip (first birth) C-section had a standard 3 day hospitalization. Non complicated vaginal births could be discharged after 24 hours. These norms have all changed It is not only the ministry that sets these standards. Each hospital sets its standards of care depending on the schools of thought prevalent within the OB/Gyn department. Advocates for natural birthing, aggressive intervention, on demand inducement and C-sections, traditional midwifery, research medicine, all having differing methodologies and agendas, all wanting the "best interest" of the patient. In the current medical climate it is important to be familiar with the MD you choose, and just as important to make yourself familiar, and comfortable, with the hospital at which your physician practices. When doctors and hospital staff are on differing pages, the patient, all too often, is caught in the middle, and suffers accordingly. Politics in hospitals are just as dirty as the politics found on parliament hill. I am so glad to have gotten away from it some 20 years ago.

Unless Public policy has recently changed, MOH frowns upon the establishment of private hospitals in Ontario, or the establishment of preferential private plans. The Toronto Hospital tried to sign on with Amex's preferred care program some years back and the province shut that deal down. The exception being for longstanding establishments already under practice for some time. Shouldice clinic is one that comes to mind
