  3. Good morning, curious how the weather is on the Coast?    My sister lives in Victoria and they got hammered the other day.......Looks like one more storm and hopefully the sun will shine.....take care

    Good morning, just to tell you I woke up to a chill this morning...33 degrees. Quickly turned the water on the garden...Don't quite need a frost yet, still a few tomatoes to pick...Almost have my lower patio complete, good thing because back and hip  need a rest...Will send pic once I get new phone camera figured out...have a good day..

    I moved from Ft McMurray  early 2008 , my retirement. And that is located in Northern Al;berta, about 1000 miles NorthEast of you......I'm in a valley now, but after last year, always have a go bag ready, and heed evacuation alerts and notice...........Can't say enough about the efforts of the Emergency Services personal.

  6. Don't want to beat this anymore, TIA's aren't minor and they are a signal of things to come unless changes are made.....I know if I would have taken a stronger stance on this, or set a better example, my Wife would still be with me.....Now you take care...rain today?

  8. I find this poster and saying very profound....Once you accept it or understand it......it did help me...

      Thank you for this, Kevin. It makes good sense.

  9. kevin

    I googled it a few months ago.....its a forensic tool now...

  10. Gwen, I don't follow the board as much as I should, but I just read about your TIA......sounds like your doing better, but a good I phone and a Medic alert  type arrangement is a good assistance if you live alone......Talk to more than one Doctor, and I found Heart&Stroke had a good group for this........take care

  11. kevin

    Enna ,that Darci Sims video was powerful stuff.....She hit the nail on the head repeatedly, plus very entertaining...Just Priceless...Happy Valentines Day

  12. Just found out......I won the Football Pool..........about $90

    Bad news on my Dog....Dog has advanced Diabeties....Diabeitiac Ketoacidosis.......bottom line for a dog of advanced years they can prolong things but will include monthly treatments and health will deteriorate....I said I wanted dignity for the dog, antibiotics  for now,because sugar levels can be signs of something else, and she gave me something for stomach......It is a said day, my research team.......new friend and drinking buddy coming up with alternate feeding methods and elixers.........Crushed up some cipro (antbiotic) and injected  via syringe back of mouth.........tow ounces of Boost in syring and back of the mouth....will repeat with Pepto later tonight........If Patches dies, he will die cared for and full...Said day but still hopeful

      Oh Kevin, I am so sorry.  I hope your dog get some good quality time in with you.  A friend of mine is having his dog put to sleep on Wednesday, I've been in his dog's life for six years, it's going to be tough.  If I was him I wouldn't wait until Wednesday (the only day the vet comes to our town), I'd take her to the next city and have it done now, she's been suffering all week.  It's so hard to watch...

      I tried force feeding      some stayed down, some came back.....going to put more meds in him in two hours .....let him rest overnight .......then do process over ...But feed him with bigger syringe.......I truly feel for your friend. My thoughts now are no more Dogs, this Grief can wear a person down.....

      It's too soon to think about right now, you've been through so much.  I can't tell you how many pets I've lost over the years, it seems it's getting progressively harder, the one I have now I'm the closest to, but I was extremely close to my granddoggy, I took care of him half his life.  He was "special", kind of like a Down Syndrome child.  I hope it's a longs ways off for you to have to face...

  14. Gwen, I read a reference that you stated in a post we need a new "address book" ...Where and when was the post.?.......thanks

      Hi Kevin,

      I posted the saying in Who is a true friend and who is not.  I've posted several times over the months for people that get to that stage they find people have changed so much around them and didappearances as well as finding supportive people where you least expected them.

      The saying is....grief rewrites your address book.  

      Hope that helps.

      that Speaks Volumes..thanks

  15. kevin

    Something like....if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger. After what I've been through over the last 4 years, I should be Superman.....but I'd do it again in a heart beat.....

  16. kevin

    Reoccurring dreams are common with me...even catnaps and I catch a glimpse of my Angela......at first it was spooky, now I accept it. I know its all in my screwed up head.........It is a different world now, I'm like a child again, relearning everything........

      It is a different world, yes. I don't understand this new world. I trust my dreams, they are not paranormal but it is what I have as an image from him. I treasure them and I believe they come from love and our souls. I am very pragmatic and rational but these approaches haven't helped much in this journey.

    Got about 6 inches of fluffy snow last night.......shovelled my neighbours and half of mine.......back is acting up, took a couple of advils, there will always be more snow....

      Be careful!  I went through that last week!  I need to learn to pace myself better & take breaks...I tend to push it so I can get done.

      Isn't that the truth........Slow and easy

  18. kevin

      It was my neighbor's truck, I just gave him a ride, it's quite a ways away...first time we couldn't get it, so had to go back.  He had 8 injectors and a relay, oil change, etc. for his Dodge Ram.

  20. Harley.......Where have you been lately, you OK?..........Someone asked a question about mediums and talking with dead. I said we discussed this....did you have an interest in this or is my memory hazy? ...thanks....hope your doing better......

  21. kevin

    kayc.....don't let a silly comment distract your energies. Those types of  people,and some are family, I tune them out automatically.....
