April Blog Challenge Day 5 (Places You Want to Visit)

Image
List five places you want to visit. 1 Yellowknife , Northwest Territories. It's on the bank of great slave lake. I've fished in that giant lake once, but never been to Yellowknife. You had to fly in at the time. It's very far north. The Dene First Nations are a big part of the city and the industry and tourism in the aria. The stunning beauty of this part of the world is something I only got 3 days to experience in a fishing camp. My entire life I've wanted to travel there and see the city. 2 Cardiff , Wales. It's their capital city and a lot of historic buildings can be seen. It's also where the mythical Torchwood was located and I'd like to visit the location they used as well. There are stunning countryside to see outside the city as well. It is home to some world class dining and amazing pubs to visit. The rich history alone is a draw for me. 3 London , England. The capital city of the UK, home to Buckingham Palace, The Tower of London, and many other hi...

Two Memories Triggered By Old Photos

Image
Aug 5, 2008 me at 500 lbs. yesterday I was about 349 lbs. (Apr 02, 2025). It's literally amazing that my belly is not hanging down to my knees - it's not even covering my man bits fully. Most people who lose this kind of weight have a bin sagging loaf down to their knees. This photo was just before we found my friend dead in his apartment. I was on the 1st floor and he was on the 3rd. We did not see him for 5 days and went looking because there was a hell of a smell as soon as you opened the fire door. He had been dead for days. They said it was his heart. He was 42 at the time and I was 40. I had know him most of my life and we where close. When I found this photo, I remembered him. I also miss that hat kind of a lot. It was stolen. Jul 3, 2008 this is the Moose Jaw Co-op cafeteria. It's long gone now - instead they rend the space out to a gym. The hardware that was down there as well moved to the Agro center and it was expanded. I took Mom here for coffee every Wednesday ...

The Story of Alison Botha *** SEVERE TRIGGER WARNING ***

This is of course in brief, not in detail. In December of 1994 Alison Botha was kidnapped, assorted in a Sexual manner. She was stabbed 50 plus times and her guts were hanging out. Her throat was cut 16 times and almost decapitated. But she managed to crawl on her hands and knees to the road so she would be found. BTW she wrote the names of her attackers and "I Love Mom" in the dirt as she thought she was going to die. That was before she crawled to the road. She LIVED - She is the most bad-ass person ever to be able to survive this (Most of us where just lay there and die, there is no way I could possible do what she did)! She ended up standing and walking to the road at one point. She is literally holding her guts in and holding her head on. She got to the middle of the road before she laid down so she could be seen. The first person to drive up on her, sat there for 15 minutes looking at her, then DROVE AROUND HER and left her there FFS. Tell me humanity is not a pile of g...

The World is a Scary Place Right Now

Image
It seems a lot less easy to be happy these days. The economy is horrible for the average person who can't invest a pile of money to get a decent return. Food prices have sky-rocketed in the last 2 years. Now with this mess between Canada and the USA, we face even harder times on both sides of the border. Jobs will be lost in this stupid trade war. People are already living in tents and vans when they actually are employed because of the cost of housing being out of reach for many. Food banks are maxed out across the country, and can't keep up with demand all the time. People are going hungry to pay the rent and keep the lights on. The cost of a bloody phone keeps going way the hell up as well. Last time I had a contract for 2 years it was a bit less than $80, now I'm paying $101 for less data (much less). I've seen people walk away from medications at the drug store after seeing how much it's going to be. Personally it was going to be $68 for a medication prescribed...
