    Vet hunger striking at VAC HQ

    I still do not understand why VAC didn't own up quicker and say our mistake here is your money.  Deposits into the wrong account are a very easy problem to correct.  Getting the money returned from the original deposit could be an issue but that is VAC's problem not the person who did not...

    We told you what we thought about the petition.  And in telling you that we brought up that you were not thinking about this problem other then saying along the lines of what a great idea.  You then started to banter around numbers in the tens of thousands ( or was that hundred and a half...

    Are you sure you read what I said.... more sympathy does not equate no sympathy.  And I thought I did mention that I was ignorant much as most of us are as to all the facts.  Nice to hear you figure my thoughts are selfish though, I really didn't see that at all nor did I intend it when I...

    Vet hunger striking at VAC HQ

    I feel like I am not getting the whole story here on the surface it should seem like a no brainer.  If the man was wronged give a Mea Culpa pay him what he is owed and move on.  I think there is more here than what the one article indicated.  Reading some of the comments from the PEI Guardian...

    WHY THE FU#K DOES YOUR 10-YEAR OLD NEED A SMARTPHONE?

    Times have changed, as kids we use to have the Fisher Price telephone that had the circle dial ring a real phone sounding bell ( as most phones had a real bell in them then.  The handset was connected to the body by length of cord that would be illegal now as a strangling hazard.  And those eyes...

    HBO's Game of Thrones

    I highly recommend the series, If you enjoyed Rome you should love this series.  If you have seen the series and enjoyed it then get out and read the books.  It fleshes out things a bit more.  As was mentioned the book is done more first person with each chapter focusing on the point of view of...

    HBO's Game of Thrones

    I havnt had time to look for the 5th book but I am suprised it is not out already.  It was written the same time as book 4 and due to it's size the novel was split into 2 separate books.  ( It could be it was just the paperback version I was reading) but in the Authors notes he went on how the...

    HBO's Game of Thrones

    I have read the first 4 books and the TV series follows it really well.  There are minor changes or just little things that translate better if they were changed a bit.  The series, is as grand of an epic as LOTR but being good and evil is not clear cut.  As the title suggests the series...

    WHY THE FU#K DOES YOUR 10-YEAR OLD NEED A SMARTPHONE?

    One guy only knew of pagers as a large coaster like thing that lights up.  He asked if that was allowed as his wife was pregnant, about to deliver in a few weeks and the doctor recommended he get a pager since he didn't have a current cell phone.  He came in and tried to explain to me why he...

    You are still talking about a Unit you have no personal experience with ( US Marines) and comparing them to others that you have little to no experience with.  It is Radio Chatter and more open but a good rule of thumb is to talk about what you know.  I have worked with Marines and they are up...

    The Canadian Airborne Regiment, 1968-1995 (merged)

    Chretien Say he is sorry........ Oh that is rich.  But as much as I don't like the man, I don't put the blame on him to a great extent.  He had a terrible sound bite when a reporter asked him about the possibility of the Airborne being disbanded and he replied along the lines of "I don't have a...

    Hmm, first time watching Sun News.  I think I may have to look at it a bit more.  Big difference in tone from CBC and CTV.  ( no surprise there )  I still dont think it will happen.  Hats off to Kenword and others though for keeping the torch alive.  I wonder how long it is going to be borne by...
