No, I did not know about the CD releases...awesome. Hard to find their music. My favs? Crazy talk and Baby Blue...but I like most all.

Another old time fav...The Poppy Family!!! Still have an 8 track or two of theirs. At one time, way back when, my cousin was engaged to the drummer of the Poppy Family so of course I was a huge fan...can't think of one song that Susan Jacks sang that I didn't know by heart and did not like! Mid - 70's I was given a "loudmouth" 8-track player for Christmas. It had a mike that enabled one to sing along with the song - 70's version of karioki! Flashback to 12!!!

So...who's gotten the blessed H1N1 shot...who has stood in line but was unable to get it...and....who is not getting it; and why? Just curious...
Me? I'm not getting it cuz I am immune! Guess that's what happens when you get the swine flu


The "shot": click here to read the entire thread »

Sick...but I think the Tamiflu is doing what it is supposed to. Glen got his shot on Saturday morning, but is too high risk to really help out, unless it is an emergency. If he gets it, odds are he ends up in the hospital because of a preexisting respiratory condition. I go back to doc on Friday.
Kiddo? He is stabilized, and is improving...but not there yet...It's going to be a long hard road; again.


5 days off and Tamiflu...: click here to read the entire thread »

Am so happy to hear this great news!!!

My memories of Halloween area about the kids...of course ((except the one time my ex and I dressed up as gorillas, but only one would go into the dance at a time, so people thought there was only one us....was sort of funny screwing with everyone's head for most of the night))
1988??? That's the year I made the oldest one the best vampire costume...the middle one was My Little Pony and the youngest was a handmedown crayon. Spent hours with my good friend driving them around from farm to farm to get their "loot" - after which we sat down to a well deserved drink or 2....

So...I really needed a bit of time off, working sometimes 10-12 days in a row between 2 jobs But not like this! Woke up feeling like 2 trucks hit me and very sore throat - that has now moved into my upper respiratory - went to the doc - presenting with symptoms of H1N1..But, they are having good results if treated with Tamiflu within 48 hours of onset of first symptoms. It was provided free of charge under the National Antiviral Stockpile. Doc says that she is not fooling around swabbing and waiting for 5 days for a result - by then people can be very sick and it is too late for anti-viral meds.
So clear/lite diet; Tylenol and Ibuprofen/ lots of rest/ and see the doc in 5 days Thank God I got all the laundry done!
Irony...was going to go for the shot tomorrow morning.

The new show and very popular show "Flashpoint" is Canadian. The musical Ride...the 2010 Winter Olympics (btw, the torch is coming through here on November 2)...and the list goes on! Penicillin, Insulin, the Syncatron... The Yukon Quest, 1000 mile dog sled race between Whitehorse and Fairbanks!...Peggy's Cove, Stanley Park, Niagara Falls, Banff and Jasper...from one shore to the other, Canada is a country that offers not only a true melting pot of heritage and nationalities...you can experience and see more than you could every dream and see every type of geography there is!

Bannock is an unleavened quick bread that primarily is cooked by most First Nations People/Natives/ Indians/ Aboriginals {whatever is the politically correct term today}
They bake in over a fire on a stick. or in an oven - some fry it. Flour, salt, lard and baking powder...that all.
Was introduced to the Natives by the Scottish Fur Traders...who introduced alot more as well {along with the French and British} thus the creation of the `Metis.

The best chickens...no doubt! Darn good corn as well...no Hutterite Colony up this way...think the closest is Grande Prairie. Weird, don't see any cattle up this way either...

Nope, you're right...he is here for me and kiddo...he cares very much for us. He was strong enough and calm enough for both of us this past week or so...and he helped me believe in my ability to be a mom...a good mom; stopped me from beating up on myself. and, Kiddo trusts him and will talk to him and that is something that really matters...Guess we are there for each other..."we" are just plain good together

I don't need an excuse...
Actually, winters here are not anywhere as cold and the snow is alot less than the province I lived in my whole life... North and North Central Saskatchewan winters are brutal! Storms come in and shut down communities for days, highways are often closed and last year, although my car was plugged in, I needed a boost 3 times, it was -45.
The cold here in the Yukon is a dry cold and that makes it easier as well...
