Vern - maybe you should adopt what people tell me, "Don't start with me"  ;D :cdn: Hawk

I tried to give my son to my brother, once, when he'd REALLY p****d me off, but like lots of you have said - we say lots of things in moments of frustration. He eventually fixed what he'd broken, all was forgiven, and I kept the kid after all. Long run, I was glad I did. He grew up and turned...

Congrats to you and your family! Boys are cool!! :cdn: Hawk

Hawk, a play on my real life last name. An old supervisor nicknamed me Hawk, and it stuck - as in "Don't start with me, Hawk". :cdn: Hawk

I'm a civilian, I can put what I like on my feet! I caretake an apartment building, and have crocs that I wear around in the building. They're great! I only wear them inside, so I can run up and down the stairs, in and out of suites without worrying about what's on my feet. They're plastic, so I...

Lots of old memories - great to see and hear the theme songs again. Thanks, all!! And some of you must be "almost" as old as me! :cdn: Hawk

Yup - just waisted an hour and missed the news!! :cdn: Hawk

My heart goes out to the parents. That has to be the hardest thing they've ever had to do. :cdn: Hawk

If anyone finds more information about these weapons, please post it here. I know a WWI history buff that will be more than a little interested in this. He spent much of his childhood within 10 or so miles of where these were stored, as well! :cdn: Hawk

Mother was Presbyterian, so went to Presbyterian Sunday School as a youngster. The only Church in the Manitoba village we moved to when I was 13 was United, so went there - as did EVERYONE else in the village. Eventually confirmed Anglican, my choice, and have considered myself an Anglican ever...

Winnipeg: 19C crystal blue sky, south wind 24 km Life is definitely good - going for an Ice-Cap later :cdn: Hawk

The farm house where I grew up was built in about 1900. Two people had died there over the years, and when my family moved there, when I was 14, there were 2 ghosts. I thought so, so I asked a family friend purported to be a natural white witch (7th daughter of a 7th daughter of a 7th daughter)...

My Grandfather died, at home, when I was about 6 years old. Dad was with him at the time, and took his pulse, decided he'd died and went to arrange the sheet over him. Just as Dad grabbed the sheet Grandpa sat bolt-upright and looked straight at Dad. My Father often told the story that Grandpa...

I knew a service woman many years ago who just HAD to ask a piper what he wore under his kilt. At the time it happened, they were in the mess at Rockcliff. The piper jumped up on the mess table and undid his buckles. What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt? Shoes and stockings! :cdn: Hawk

One more example in Winnipeg today of how well the gun registry is reducing crime. Three people dead, 2 or perhaps 3 more in hospital with gunshot wounds from a shooting in Winnipeg's north end. I'm getting a blow-by-blow account of what's happening in that neighbourhood - a good friend lives 4...

What incredible people you are to help this family out! I wish with all my heart I could afford to help, but my own financial situation isn't too stable at present. All I can offer is my hopes for this family and this project. Best wishes to all involved - you are truly wonderful people. :cdn...

One more day of leave - always a good thing  ;D :cdn: Hawk

Louis Riel Day in Manitoba. Not that I'm objecting to the name, but the date doesn't bear any significance to Louis Riel, at least none I could find. However, a day off, and a good day for Mah Jong with friends  ;D :cdn: Hawk
