I am so sorry, Smokey. I've lost several loved pets over the years and it always hurts deeply. My condolences.

can someone tell me why saturday and sunday go so much faster than monday and tuesday? went for a swim this morning before work ( our local pool opens at 7 and there are always the same 6 or 7 people there at that time). monday is always the busiest day of the week at work but it always puts everyone in a better mood when the sun is shining (which it was today)
just taken our jack russell for a walk through the fields - you have to time the walks carefully as later in the evening the cows seem to wander out into the lane and, although everyone says they are more scared of you than you are of them, i m never brave enough to walk through them. tea is on for the family, and after tea there is homework to sort and football on tv. it is the exciting part of our season with all the play offs and promotion and relegation battles.... -
thanks guys
she came home yesterday in her urn, she is still with us at least. couldnt put her in the ground as it is against the by-laws for this councel.
cheers smokey -
Sorry Smokey...
We recently had to put down our 12 1/2 year old Chow. I've never had a more loyal pet & still haven't gotten over the grief. She literally grew up with our children. I'd like to say that the pain goes away, but so far it hasn't for me... -
I am currently in a class for work in Atlanta. Happy to be here and have a job!!

I am working my business very hard right now. I have been talking to many people trying to figure a way to help them, but like everything, it's about time and money. Still trying to solve that one.
As for the project I am currently working on right now, it is some landscaping. We had a half dozen trees cut down last fall. Some were dead due to drought, and open the yard to more sunlight, which means trying to get some grass to grow, and some of this revived.
Going to St. Augustine next weekend to a regional convention for business. Anyone want to go. love to have you.
Cheers

God bless your Grandparents, Todd. 70 years of wedded bliss. My Grandparents made it to 72 years before my Grandmom passed. I hope to make it 70 years married. I will if I add all three marriages together.

Been a few weeks in British Columbia and Alberta, and some more ahead. Driving oil miners´roads and exploring the surrounding bush. It´s called work too.
Here´s a pic from northern BC. Reminds me of The Searchers... -

I figure you folks way up north in Finland are accustomed to the kind of weather shown in your picture. However, I notice you're holding a good old cup of hot coffee. (or maybe hot chocolate). -

I must confess that I'm kind of old-fashioned about marriage - the wife and I will celebrate our 50th next year (provided we live that long). I give all the credit for this to my wife, who's definitely a keeper (and who has probably the warmest, most loving and forgiving personality of anyone I've ever met. She even forgave a brief affair I had at about our 8th year of marriage.)
When we got married in November 1960, I was one of the world's worst sexists (thanks to my old grandpappy as a role model). But over the years I've mellowed and learned to heed my wife's opinions. I figured it was either me changing or I'd lose my wife and I sure didn't want to do that.
IMO, the pols have made it entirely too easy to divorce nowadays. This is not intended as criticism of you, Mark, but some people change spouses like they change their clothes. (And BTW, my mother was one of 'em - she was married four times; twice to my father.
) -
No offense taken, Stumpy. I was too young the first time and too stupid the second. My third marriage has been a blessing. I have been with her for 18 years now and married for the last 11. I agree that it is too easy to get out of a marriage, or even into one. I council my children on this using me as a model.
But they see what a good marriage can be also, thanks to my loving wife.Mark

Greetings from Yellowknife, it's as nice as it was the last time I visited, 11 years ago. It's wonderfully warm now - I even prefer bugs to cold. Wood Buffalo National Park has been the most interesting place; there I came to look into the eyes of a bear and a buffalo at a few yards distance. I surprised the buffalo, the bear surprised me, but nobody attacked and nobody ran.

Wow, etsija! It sounds like you are having a GREAT time (and quite exciting, too!).
Were you able to get any pictures of your 'visitors'?
How warm is it, 250 miles south of the Arctic Circle? (We hit about 90º F today, in our neck of the woods!)

Well we were dodging tornados last night. Tonight is still very muggy but all the active weather went north. We should get a full nights sleep tonight.
