TB, I truly appreciated the inspiration you have in your beleif, but you will have a better shot at this, when geese fly backwards!!!!:yh_rotfl Nothing is really important to everybody as it is to you. Sorry, but just a quick word of advice.:-4

<t>Okay, I am pretty persistent - but I really thought I would have a better response than this. Pretty pitiful - obviously most people think people in wheelchairs are nothing, and people that don't have all their parts working are worth next to nothing. Well, excuse me, but there are so ...

<t>Tonight will be the Opening Ceromonies in Vancouver for the 2010 Paralympic game which run from March 12 - 21, 2010. There are still a number of the venues and houses left open from the 2010 Games back in February for the public to visit, if they did not get a chance to get in back in February.<b...

Canada really rocked today, but it was just a little close for comfort. Good on USA team too for making it that far.:-4:-4:-4

moonpie

This is totally way beyond my expectations to think that we would lead in GOLD. I am so impressed - I want to pee myself! Hopefully, and I certainly do not want to sound greedy - but Go Team CANADA!!

Canada is up to 16 Metals now in total - and I believe we have tied with the U.S. for 7 Gold. Please don't quote me on that, but from where I can see, we have and if that is this case, then we are REALLY doing well. Good on Canada, we still have a ways to go.

Beautiful picture, and understand why you can't wait to get there. But, that is always the way, something that you have planned for & anticipating always seems to go by the slowest. Gee, sounds like a middle-class problem to me. :wah::wah: Enjoy though once you get there!!

Mainly, it was due to the Olympics, because the Company nor the City had any steadfast plans for Couriers. So be it, he...

Hey and welcome! Have fun here, a lot of good people.

moonpie

I certainly have changed. I used to be so "live and let live" type of a person. Now, I am getting to be really subdued. I miss my "fun" self to a point, I really do. Now I am such a serious type person, and can't say I am proud of it either.:wah: How do you get to being a fun person again?

Saint, so sorry to hear about your sweetie's health problems. Don't have any professional advice to give, but all I can say is that she has obviously strong support by you and this will be a huge part of her recovery. Thoughts are with you both.

I think the bottom line is that kids are KNOWING way too much these days as it it, and why should they not receive the real stuff as opposed to a bunch of mis-guided crap? Knowledge is always more precived as beneficial as opposed to ignorance.:-2:-2
