irishfield Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) BTW Richard, if you're there for anytime.. try to spice the place up a bit to your liking. A bit of stickum is all that's needed to "pretty" the place up. Also pay attention to Jen's poster center right !

GBW Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) Well Richard, depending on where you are in the city, Ugly shirt friday's may live on if you are interested? It was a good break for the O'Shea's to get away from the hospital while they were there. And even though I don't know you I'm willing to offer my time to help you escape from what you are going through and talk fishing or anything else you want to talk about. I'm at the Bay and Richmond area so if you are close let me know. Next week I'm not downtown so we would have to work someting out later on if you like. PM me if interested. I'm sure I can find an 'ugly shirt' for you some where too. Be strong and think of the good things to come, cheers. Geoff *edit* man o man I'm having a heck of a day for the past 2 days... I just now noticed the hospital you are at. Feel free to drop me a PM if you like and I can give you my office number when I'm back down there so you have someone to talk fishing too.
