We got 20 cm in Halifax, schools were closed, malls shut down early, rec programs cancelled. I looked at the webcam of the Armdale Rotary at rush hour and it looked like the middle of the night - 4 cars and a bus in the circle when I looked. Halifax took it in stride, but then, we aren't whiners!

I'm not there, or not all there, or something! I didn't find myself, anyway. My last name is the name of a valley in Canada, and a town in England, so when I searched on my last name, I turned up a few people, and references to both geographical locations. Hawk

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Save me from the politically correct!! Hawk

Happy New Year to you all. Lang may yer lum reek! Best wishes from Hawk

I see - its still a brilliant idea! My husband was annoying me when I was sewing, and I told him if he didn't stop, I'd make him learn how to use my sewing machine. He kept it up, I made him sit at the machine and gave him a sewing lesson. Before he passed away, he was making plaid shirts for...

Hammer Sandwich: I've been a sewer for more years than I care to tell you, and I looked at your project with a critical eye. You did a great job - straight seams, everything reinforced. Well done, and what a brilliant idea!!!!

Merry Christmas to you all, especially those who serve. Best wishes to everyone for the coming year. Hawk

Perhaps they've started to celebrate Christmas at the Chronicle Herald! Bottom line, they charged this dude. Hawk

There's an update on the story about the poppy jar thefts in Nova Scotia in the online Chronicle Herald: http://www.thechronicleherald.ca/Front/9019147.html It should be read right to the end for literary content!!! Hawk

19/20 - guess I'm in! Hawk

GAP - you forgot to add that when you finally quit whining and doze off, you spouse comes to see if you still live and breath and pull the quilt over your shoulder, only to have you sit bolt upright fix her with an icy glare and yell "Quit babying me!!!" You're all babies when you have a "man...

The Riders - everyone's second favourite team. Go Riders! All the way to the Grey Cup!!! Hawk

I can look right into a friend's back yard - and see her wind chime in her porch window - in the north end of Winnipeg! She doesn't have a computer - and I've never told her. I can see another friend's cat in her apartment window. I'm glad I live in the back of my building, and there's no back lane!

Thanks for the information. As for Mr. Williams - thanks a lot, guy, the CF really didn't need this!!! Hawk

My son and I were discussing this yesterday, and speculating on William's medals. Will they have to be physically returned - to where or whom? What will become of them? I'd love to be able to phone him with the answer. Hawk

Carmel apple fritter! Hawk

I be Cap'n Mary Bonney, I be. Board me fine ship at your peril. Ye'll find me accompanied by m'ship's cat Iron Anne Kidd, better known as Iron Annie. Old girl had Parrot for breakfast, then sharpened her claws on Pegleg's peg. She be tough as nails that cat! Mind ye approach her carefully, she...

I just went into CBC site to see if they had any comments. I have no idea what made me think they'd ever recant any of the nonsense stories they print! Its all over the internet, and they seem to be sticking to their story. They're such a joke! Unfortunately, a lot of people think it must be...

Its so sad to see Rivers in that condition. I grew up in Brandon, and met several kids from the base camping at Lake Wahtopanah. (I think I spelled that right - the lake at Rivers). My sister-in-law grew up there and she and a bunch of others are gathering on facebook. I remember going to an...

You could have a point if you don't know when to pull up and behave, follow orders, etc! Hawk
