I was at a nearby gas station/convenience store last year when it started pouring down rain. There was a woman who had walked to the store. I didn't know her but I heard her say she hated to have to walk home in the rain. I asked where she needed to go - it was a few miles out of my way but hey! I gave her a ride home. She thanked me profusely and told me to feel free to drop by any time for a beer. ;) Thing is, there wasn't someone waiting at home who had just had surgery to repair a *detached retina*. That's the point you insist on missing. Jill |

Screw you and your idiotic virtue signalling you old hag. You frequently attempt to discredit me with your idiotic false assumptions. I have worked with a number of charities and helped out with food banks and fund raisers. I was worked with and was on the board of a charity that provide therapeutic riding lessons people with physical and mental disabilities. For the last 12 years I have helped out with the local art festival that raises money for scholarships for arts students and for the local library and for the last four years I have been on the board. You keep throwing out these cheap insults and you keep making more a fool of yourself than me because they are lies that you dream up. I mentioned about that old lady who could not have the surgery because she had no ride and no one to stay with her. Graham had suggested that I could have done it. I pointed out that I was there to drive and to care for my wife who was having retinal surgery. He had the good sense drop it, but you are just too fucking dense to realize what an ass you are making of yourself. |

LOL.... she did such a great job of raising her kids to be kind and caring that she would have called them about the urgent job... Oh wait.. they are too far away, so she could not do that. Sadly, that has not stopped her from hurting her arm patting herself on the back. |

Could be but just as often an occupational injury; often from working under dusty conditions such as farmers spraying crops and live stock kicking up dust, smoky factory work, mining, cooking is about the worst. Not too many years ago there were no respirators.... about all one coud do is go cowboy with a bandana. I've not seen a line cook yet wearing a respirator... fast food fry cooks should wear respirators but none do. Working a shift making french fries is as bad, perhaps worse than chain smoking. Automobile mechanic is another terrible occupation for respiratory illnesses, constantly being in close proximty to exhaust fumes. Very few vehicles are fitted with cabin filters and those that exist are not very good... even with driving electric vehicles inhaling miles of tire/macadam dust is not healthful. Truth is most people who have COPD don't smoke tobacco, for most it's an occupational injury, cooking at home can be as bad as working in a commercial kitchen, most home kitchens don't have suitable exhaust systems, and most home cooks don't turn them on until after the fumes set off the smoke alarm. I began smoking in the Navy because the US military handed out free cigarettes like candy. Couldn't be a chain smoker as smoking was only permitted when the smoking lamp was lit and then only above decks. I smoked for about six months and then gave it up... I stopped smoking many years ago. Working most of my life in machine shops is what caused my COPD. |

The woman was a moron too asking a total stranger for a ride. She didn't know Dave and Dave didn't know her... she had to be an imbecile having a strange man know where she lives all by her lonesome. There are many ways she could have gotten transportation at little or no cost from one of the many agencies that do that... there are many legitimate agencies that help people with transportation for medical needs. I used to volunteer through such an agency, that was a lot safer for all concerned. I wouldn't drive a strange women, or man, that hadn't been checked out by an agency either.

There were also a lot of drops that numbed my eye and surrounding area. They told me that I'd not feel any pain and not remember much, they were right on both counts. The only difficulty I experienced was blowing my nose afterward, the left nostral made my left eye feel a bit of discomfort... to remove mucous it's best to blow ones nose gently anyway. |

In the course of the conversation about your cataract surgery I mentioned that when my wife was waiting for her retinal surgery there as a old lady who they would not do the procedure on because she did not have a ride home or someone to stay with her for a couple hours. Graham made a quip about how I should have offered. The old hag has been harping ever since about how I should have volunteered, completely ignoring the fact that I already had my hands full being out of town with my wife for a vision saving surgery that required a lot of after care. My wife had to remain face down 24/7 for 0 days. I had to look after her eye drops, cooking, cleaning, laundry.... everything. But in the old crones demented mind I was being selfish. . she had > lot safer for all concerned. I wouldn't drive a strange women, or > man, that hadn't been checked out by an agency either. For being a > good boy scout Dave could have easily have found himself in prison. When I was working with the therapeutic riding charity there was a young woman there who was eager but she had some personal issues that set up some red flags, and she needed a ride. The president of the charity tried to arrange a ride, but expressly forbid the men from doing it. You understand the reasons, but the old crone would insist on other reasons. |

He heard her telling the staff at the clinic she took the bus to get there and would take the bus back home and they said she couldn't have her cataract surgery. She had transportation but they didn't approve of her taking the bus. WTF? I do hope she found someone to drive her but it was not Dave's responsibility to become her driver. He had to take care of his wife who had just had surgery to repair a detached retina. Jill |

There is a book available "How The Scots Built Canada". A number of the early explorers were Scottish. The fur trade was a major part of the settlement of the country and most of the factors (managers) of the Hudson Bay Company were Orkeneymen. I guess they were used to the cold climate in the north where their trading posts were locaated. |

If Alex derived all of his income from a salary, filed as a single, and made $500,000, his federal income tax last year would be $164,114 (absent any other deduction). Half a million dollars isn't rich. It's merely well-to-do. > Authentic rich people wouldn't waste their time here. > The "Alex" persona is so obviously fake. Not worth a response.

When I was a kid, all boys played "Army." Those war hero guys in the movies were our heros. Many young years too. Our fake guns looked real and us lucky kids got REAL army surplus equipment for Christmas. I still have a few surplus things. Either from WW2 or maybe the Korean war. - a weird helmet with ear flaps. I suspect that was for soldiers firing large cannons. - also a cool ammo belt and a canteen hooked on it. None of those war games turned us into criminals. |

You would never imagine using such a thing now. I've been tempted to buy and try a box (if it's still made) just to see how it tastes now. I did use it a few times about 45 years ago. It was weird stuff. Bruce can look up "BBQ flavor" shake-n-bake ingredients. It was a strange concoction. I remember mostly red dye and sugar. |
