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.

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.

 

 

I SWEAR THAT ALL INFORMATION SUPPLIED ABOVE IS TRUE AND CORRECT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH, DISMEMBERMENT, NATIVE AMERICAN ANT TORTURE, CRUCIFIXION, ELECTROC UTION, CHINESE WATER TORTURE, RED HOT POKERS, AND HILLARY CLINTON KISS TORTURE.

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

Beautiful pieces of work.

Pretty light fine(s) considering. Should be put out of business. You should change the title of the thread to include Andy Myers Lodge so that it gets picked up better by google searches on the place.

Nothing shows on a google search of the lodge

Welcome aboard!!

 

Been chasing river fish since before the internet was born.

You must be ancient! LOL

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.

Thanks, now that's information that I never knew. So Okumas pal could have asked for the patient ombudsman to intervene in this situation. As could have I for my father.

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.

And that means? Not trying to be funny just trying to learn. Remember your not talking to piers in hospital administration.

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

Can anyone confirm if patients have any says on being discharged from hospitals considering each individual has different recovery rate?

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.

Hey Folks,

 

After the initial ice storm that caused mayhem we didn't have power, heat, hot water till today. Finally the work got done on our condo much to the relief of over 200 Unit Owners at our condo.

 

To think it would take this long to regain basic utilities in such a developed country with so many resources.

 

 

 

Just until yesterday, folks were using water from the swimming pool to flush their toilets - felt like it was a 3rd world country.

 

Its finally over, or so i hope :/

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.

Apparently, he was told by nurses/docs the decision making is solely dependent on the doctor as long as the doc goes by the 'standards'

 

Any doctors to provide insights?

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

Loved pond hockey. The neighbour would come out with his tractor to plow us a rink every winter, and occasionally drag out his PTO pump to flood the rink.

Sad to think I can't even stand up on a pair of skates any more.

. Has he ever hunted in a place where the animals were not fenced in?

Actually, he used to come up to the Muskokas on occasion in the spring for walleye opener a few decades back. Definitely a different sort of character. Kind of a media pioneer for the Robertsons

Forgot to bring the camera. Good to see smiling faces, both old and new. They even got Spiel out of his cave.

Considering my last year, there is only one resolution.

 

My plan is to spend more time enjoying life with my family. Nothing more important than family.

Bread and circuses, folks. Bread and circuses to entertain and distract the plebeian masses.

If newbies are OK I'd like to come. I'm working in Toronto tomorrow and its on my way back to Brantford.

GTG's are all about getting to know one another and making new acquaintances

More fish, good health and a better year for us all.

Sounds like a great experience. Fine looking specimen you caught.

Everybody seems to be uptight about leaking info on fishing spots over the internet. They do have a point. A lot of honey holes can't take the heavy pressure, or the volume of trash, from an urban invasion.

Quite frankly celebrities boor me as they are mostly shallow people who have done nothing but ACT and look PRETTY.I would rather spend my time with a VICTORIA CROSS winner or a MEDAL of HONOR winner any time or any other military medal for heroism.

Living VC's are a rare individual to find in this age. There are fewer than 10. Like many survivors, they probably don't like to talk much about how they earned their "gong"

Non fishing would be a really tough choice.

 

In my impressionable and idealistic years I have had the privilege of meeting and/or speaking with the likes of Robertson Davies, Farley Mowat, the Dalai Lama, and McLuhan just before his stroke. All individuals of considerable intellect and insight. Pretty hard to find better intellectual company. Very much the opposite of some of my classmates now sitting in Parliament. They're not worth wasting lead or ink to acknowledge them.

I'm not so much of an idealist any more, and there are few in this world that impress me any longer.

Musically I would love to talk with Ian Anderson

Only others that would interest me would be the likes of Tom Hanks or Robin Williams. Fellas who can put me in stitches.
