Good afternoon all from paradise where it is about 25c and perfect.
Good to see Lion tickling the keyboard once again, I was watching You-Tube videos about Assumption Abbey and spotted you a few times.
I had a very frustrating week spending hours in the Law office and on the phone dealing with this Estate I am looking after. I think the worst is over as the developers were up to no good, once we reminded them we had a 4.3 million dollar deposit of theirs and I would walk with it, things got settled pretty quickly. I suggested they check with their lawyer to see if the course they were following was a prudent one.
It is a good thing I am a zero stress guy but I still roll my eyes heavenward on a regular basis.
Dave, sorry your back is giving you so much grief. Inflammation is pain and pain is inflammation. Sugar/carbs cause inflammation. If you go on a low carb diet for one week, you will know if it is your diet that is a big, small or no part of the pain problem. If you feel better after a very low carb week, I'll point you to some information to make you feel even better. If I have a big piece of chocolate cake or bowl of ice cream I am on the pain train with my Arthritis. I was on Oxycocet and Tylenol for years until I started educating myself on nutrition and now I never need the stuff. Try low carb for one week and it may change your life, it did mine.
My old dog finally moved on last night after recovering from two strokes. His will to live was something and he just kept going despite his issues. He was starting to show signs of distress all of a sudden and so a Vet friend of the wifes came by with the required drugs and he was put down five feet from where he was born just short of his fifteenth birthday. He has hundreds of famous show kids all over the world and is the talk of the day on all the dog chat sites. After doing his thing for the wife in the show ring he always came home and would never leave my side. The house feels empty without him. The wife has a good supply of frozen semen from him, so it will be nice to get a son from him down the road.
The Canucks are on soon. They are having a tough go of it with the knights, however, if they get by them whoever they face next should be easier. Bought myself a bottle of Glenlivet to drown my sorrows from losing my dog and it may have to do double duty if the Canucks lose.
I left a HO scale FB group that I had enjoyed for quite a while. I don't know if it was just some trolls that signed up or what, but the hatred that was being spewed was something else. I'll just turn on the news if I want to see that. The other FB sites I visit have some pretty nice people hanging out on them so all is not lost.
Time to go run a train.
GO CANUCKS GO!
All the best to all.
