Please welcome my sister!
by mjarka911 inalthough she has posted once here herself (ange 2.0), i would like to introduce everyone to my sister ange.
up until a week ago, i had not spoken to her for 5+ years after i da'd.
we are both 3rd generation with hard core parents (just hard core attitudes, not hard core jw activity).

Contact after 3+ years
by mjarka911 inwell, never say never i guess.
after 3 years of shunning from my hard core jw family - my sister shows up unannounced at my firehouse yesterday to say hello.
although a brief visit - she said she had been driving by my firehouse for 2 years while going to her job and she finally got up the nerve to drop by and say hello.

as for the sights: i had a great time visiting the hockey hall of fame, cn tower, casa loma, kensington market, cafe diplamattico, the harborfront and that beautiful bar at the top of the park hyatt with the beautiful view of the night skyline.

Convention Delegates (I use that term loosely)
by mjarka911 ini'm a union firefighter and just went to my first state association union convention as a delegate and it gave me pause about how we were all called delegates at assemblies.
as a delegate to the firefighter convention, i was able to debate resolutions on the floor and in committee as to the diretion of the organization.
then, most importantly, i was able to vote my choice.
