Hi HPW, #21 your friend and now my wife Doreen (Dot Patterson) Dagless.

Clock and Thermometer Eggy, the crows and ravens are as big as turkeys, bigger than the chickens we used to keep at home!

Thank you Pete, Thanksgiving is the U.S. and Canadian equivalent of Harvest Festival,( I think!) The end of the general harvesting for most farmers. Usually celebrated with a turkey dinner and family.

Heating is turned on, winter tyres on the vehicles, snow shovels at the ready, snowblower all primed!

Thank you CL, yes it's here to stay, we had our first snowfall in town October 1st, but the ground wasn't frozen then, it is now and it has been snowing three days and it's starting to accumulate, supposed to warm up this week! 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy birthday 4G, have yourself a great day!

Happy belated birthday Malcolm (I expect it will be belated oncer you come back into the WiFi)

Fair enough Vic, but when you say 'decent and honest' you are referring to the borrower, not the lender. If you borrowed 10 grand and slaved most of your life trying to repay 3 times the amount you borrowed before discovering that the money came from nowhere and the lender wouldn't even be out of pocket if it was never paid back, would you not feel a little peeved? Add to that the situation where people go back to the bank saying they can't afford to repay the loan and come out with a BIGGER loan at the 'sound advice' of the bank manager!

It's bloody criminal!

I should add though that if I borrowed any amount from family and friends then I'd repay it asap and add on my own interest even if it was never asked for.

I agree 100% yes I'm referring to the real people not the money institutions, I have no love for the financial institutions, businesses, banks lenders etc, I think it is criminal to allow the rates and charges they are allowed to bleed from the working people then see the record breaking profits they make for their shareholders.

Alberta recently legislated BIG changes what lenders can bleed from the public, pity they couldn’t do the same to banks, living in a small town it’s easy to use the bank as you are friends and neighbours to the manager, tellers and the janitor but the same gouging rules apply. I don’t ever remember going into a bank in the UK!

I do remember my mom getting a "Provi" for our shoes etc,

I also like that guy Malcolm, Webtrekker, why would any decent honest person not feel obliged to try and repay a dept? If you borrowed $10,000 and spent it, regardless of where the money came from surely you must be obliged to repay it.

Thank you Malcolm, it looked well attended and had good weather.

Oh what a sleekit, horrible beastie
Lurks in yer stomach efter a feastie
As ye sit doon amang yer kin,
There starts to stir a michty wind.

The neeps and tatties and mushie peas,
Stert workin like a gentle breeze
But soon the puddin' wi' the sonsie face
Will hiv ye blawin' a' ower the place.

Nae matter whit the hell ye dae
A?'body's gonnae huv tae pay
Even if ye try tae stifle,
It's like a bullet oot a rifle.

Haud yer bum tight tae the chair
Tae try tae stop the leakin' air.
Shift yersel' fae cheek tae cheek
An' pray to God it disnae reek.

But a' yer efforts go assunder,
Oot it comes like a clap o' thunder.
It ricochets aroon' the room,
Michty me! A sonic boom!

God almighty, It fairly reeks
(I hope a hivnae' shit ma breeks)
Straight tae the bog ah better scurry
Aw whit the hell, It's no ma worry.

A'body roon'aboot me's chokin'
Wan or twa are nearly bokin'.
Ah'll feel much better fur a while,
Ah cannae help but raise a smile.

'Twis him!! Ah shout, wi' accusin' glower.
Alas, tae late. He's jist keeled ower.
'Ye mingin' clert!' They shout and stare.
Ah amnae welcome ony mair.

Where e'er ye be, Let yer wind gang free
(Sounds jist the job fir thee an me)
Whit a fuss at Rabbies pairty
Ower the sake o' wan wee ferty.

Ah think ah need an intorpritator for some of it!

I church or in chapel just let it rattle, no matter where you be let the wind go free, (but not in a such a confined space and a captive audience!)

Aye there foxy, are they the politicians or the guys who make them walk the plank?

I see a lot of activity at the market place, what's the attraction?

About four years ago my then 45 year old son who is very healthy and fit, walks,climbs, hikes,mountain bikes, ice hockey, baseball etc,stepped onto the ice with his son to play a game of shinny hockey, he made one lap of the rink and his heart stopped! quick response by the arena staff located the AED defibrillator and they got his heart going again, after operations and recuperation he has recovered and living a normal life.

Last year he walked the way of St James, Camino de Santiago, 800 km, he has worn out one bike and working on the next one! we are so grateful that the arena staff were trained in CPR and the use of AED's 

His heart condition is a hereditary condition, we are all taking our turn! 

For your friends and family's sake please learn how to use these AED's understand CPR you never know!

We travelled to our Grand daughters wedding, all of our spread out family made and we were able to get our family portrate updated, great time catching up with all the news and gossip.

Life is good!
