My son started the "can I get a tattoo?" at 16 - answer was no, I was in charge of his skin till he turned 18, then I told him he could do what he wanted. An artist friend of the family attacked his goatee when The Kid mentioned it to him, and in his slow way of talking told him, "yes, you could...

I sure wish I'd thought of that when I was raising my son. He wasn't a discipline problem, but being a very bright, creative child, we did have our moments! :cdn: Hawk

http://www.garyrip.com/screenclean.swf You'll enjoy this! Certain friends and family have WAY too much time on their hands! :cdn: Hawk

With a huge sigh of relief, I stand corrected, Vern. Thank you. :cdn: Hawk

But he could be a Cadet! :cdn: Hawk

Vern, I'm in agreement with you. The others had almost changed my mind, but in reality it all went against my old school learning (1960's - I really mean OLD SCHOOL). Maybe things are different, nowadays, and maybe in some circumstances they should be - I don't know so won't judge. In early...

D Squared - I have to agree with you there - about the Centre of the Universe! Also, in Winnipeg's favour (okay - so I have to concede a GOOD point) They do spray for mosquitoes here, and a good thing. It is nice to go through a whole hot summer with no mosquito bites. There is great fishing...

I hope Bryan's parents are proud of him - and themselves. They are raising a fine young man.  :salute: :cdn: Hawk

Oh, yeah - and if you aren't paying attention at a corner, and a little 5'-nothing garden gnome with greying hair yells at you, smile and wave - her bark's worse than her bite.  >:D :cdn: Hawk

'Fraid not - they are really bad here. I don't drive here if I can avoid it - unless we're heading out of the city. Usually I take the bus. The service isn't wonderful, but its usually somewhere near on schedule, the drivers, for the most part are courteous, and you can get to most, but not all...

Geez, fullmetalparka, that sounds like Winnipeg. They say here that if you see a turn signal, it was left on at the factory, and the driver hasn't found the switch to turn it off! Everyone drives like they were the only ones on the road - or at least the only one who counts. A friend of mine...

They drive like idiots in Winnipeg - in presumably posted speed areas. I saw a near miss at a light-controlled intersection 3 blocks from home this afternoon - and its dry and very cold here - no snow or ice on the streets. Some fool going like a bat out of he** skidding 8 feet or more on his...

More Star Trek . . . . yeah! Can't wait! ;D :cdn: Hawk

PMedMoe - with that breeding, she should be one wonderful dog! Our's was a purebred Springer, but a pound puppy. She'd been running loose, picked up by the poundkeeper in Estevan, SK, who was a personal friend, and we rescued her. She was active and a complete dingbat right up to the time her...

PMedMoe: What's the Springer's name - WHAT A BEAUTY!!! I'm particularly fond of them - my Babe was liver and white. :cdn: Hawk

My Cleo is strictly an indoor cat - she HATES it outside - but if you can prevent her from hacking you to ribbons on the way, loves to go for a ride in the truck! I thought maybe I could get her used to going out on a leash. She pulled the completely limp routine. I picked her up, took her out...

We watched the Blues Brothers movie this afternoon - enjoyed the music and laughed out loud all over again! Love The Penguin! :cdn: Hawk

Now you're talkin' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-7fFbCyBRs&feature=related Brings a tear to my eye! And this one is really funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK6LkpfZ94s :cdn: Hawk

This is going to end up much like the situation many people in my generation (boomers) are in. I'm fully trained and have 20+ years experience in my profession, industrial purchasing.  My resume looks excellent - then the prospective employer finds out I'm 1) female, and 2) over 50. Good luck! I...

What a great idea! I'm into dolls myself, but never even thought of a concept like this! It should be a wonderful thing for a child to have, and a life-long keepsake for the little one. I've done 2 warrior dolls - 12 inch fully jointed dolls, completely 1:12 scale in WWII Canadian battle dress...
