The world is definitely a different place from afew decades ago. A good friend of mine and myself were talking the other day about life before computors, and cell phones.I myself think there was a better work ethic amongst people prior to computors, and cell phones. I ve noticed manners , and being polite took a big hit with the advent of texting. People skills have taken a big hit with cell phones.When I go do my early morning shopping its nothing to see people walking ,stopping and checking their cell phones every 10 ft they walk, 
But that's supposed to be progress,
, , Give it some time, I find theres usually someone , or some subject that catches my attention.
You have a Good One,
from Saskatchwan. We ve had a dry year here this year. Lots of northern Sask fires. 13,000 people were evacuated from northern communities to southern cities. We even had members of our military sent fighting fires to save northern communities.This has been our worst yr for forest fires. I sure hope it isn t a sign of the future. I tried rabbit a year ago, enjoyed it. I happen to like meat, well done, I know a number of people who like their steaks red, To each their own. In my younger days, helping my Grandparents butcher animals ( on their farm)I seen enough blood, whether it be chickens, turkeys, cows, or pigs, don t care to see any red on my plate.
, I happen to have ms, (have to use a cane to walk) I am stuck in my routines , being limited as to what I can do. But once every week or two ,as tough as it can be, I go out shopping, visiting , breakfast with a family member, and maybe have a coffee at the casino. That outing can be rather strenuous at times, but the change of scenery,sure takes my mind off the daily routine I get into.
I couldn t miss Jims Birthday, His jokes and humor have started so many of my days off with a Big Smile, Priceless, I tried Nutella, didn t mind it, it was something different, but if it didn t exist I won t miss it. I m fortunate, I have a number of elderly neighbor ladies who are forever sending me over jars of homemade jams, (crabapple, strawberry, rhubarb,.... ) , the good stuff,
My Grandmother had raspberries in her garden, and just loved them. It was amazing what she did with them. Delicious jams , jellies, toppings for ice cream, toppings for her baking,..... And in the colder winter months a jar of her raspberry preserves hit the spot. And Grandmother was always tinkering with making the occasional batch of wine, and I m sure she must of made some raspberry wine. Talk about a multi purpose berry. Good Morning Gentlejim, ,
take a Peek, I don t quite remember that sitcom, but I do remember afew British comedies, (The Two Ronnies, Faulty towers, Are you being Served,Benny Hill) All very good Shows. If it follows in British tradition, it must be a classic as well. I ll be trying to look it up,
Looks like everyone was having fun, , Liked the music, Thanks
, I ve in past have worked with younger bosses. The good ones thrived in their position, they were in that position of authority for a reason. And some of the younger bosses I had, had their frailties come forward , and they didn't last long. I did my best to work with my bosses not getting upset with them, but realizing they were in a position I didn t want. I couldn't be bother getting upset with younger bosses, unless they interfered with my work , and responsibility. , you have a Good Day My Friend,
, Back again, you mentioned having nothing but bad news on the agenda. Whenever I was involved with a bad news situation,I tried to remember a worse situation I was in, and say we ve been thru worse times, and we have the attributes to get thru this one. In a bad news conversation, drawing from previous experiences can soften any bad news scenario. As for what I remember, I remember conversation, and blogs that get me thinking, learning something new. I always think there too much criticizing ,and dissecting in conversation, so I love to hear compliments.
I happen to be a person with an illness, ms, its not progressing,but I have my good days, bad days, have to use a cane to walk. And I have developed a Great appreciation of life, I ve sorted out my life, and realize I m still fairly active, and realize I could be in lot more worse position in life. I do lots of volunteer work for charities, and see so many people in much more worse position in life.
Lately with me , not in the best of health, and getting older, I have been giving a lot more thought to what happens after death, In past I had my doubts of anything happening, but with the death of a good number of friends , and family, I do believe that there is some sort of continuous of our souls, and spirits. I ve had a few remarkable , unexplainable happenings ,after loosing a love one.I believe there is something there, after death,just haven't got a proper explaination of it.
Thanks for the morning chuckle,
One of my cousins , just went thru a similar situation as you mentioned mentioned with John and Mary. My cousins sisters were very leery about his wife,(prior to their marriage), and told him their opinion of her. And he refused to believe any of it.Well 8 yrs after they were married , came divorce. Hes selling his acerage, and more than likely giving up half his pension to his ex wife. ( apparently his ex wife had been planning this the whole time) Maybe someone should have spoken up ,a lot louder earlier.
, My thoughts are with you Ian. I lost my Mom , 2 yrs ago to cancer, it seems like yesterday. Memories of Moms last year with cancer, haunt me to this day, but I keep reminding myself of Moms better days.
Give a Man a bank and he ll rob the world , Isn t that the truth
. They didn t do anything wrong,but they HAD TOO HIDE THIER FACES. Were they ashamed of something.Could someone explain this to me.
It is better to have loved and have lost, than to have never have loved at all, I agree with totally. From that situation, a person learns from. Whether it be their mistakes , or the other persons mistakes. Life is a lesson.
, Thanks for the morning chuckle, , you have a Good day,

RE: Thankfully they have health insurance
Hello Johnny SpartonMs has been studied for the last 120 yrs, endless research and money has been spent on this disease, and the end result is a possibility of working,with side effects,
These drug companies are preying on the purse strings of sick, desparate people, Talk about legalized theft.
My ms , after 12 yrs doesn t seem to be progressing, proper diet, exercise seem to be the best medicine for me, but sooner than later some docter will want to put me on some new medicine,
You have a Great Day Johnny,
