  2. experiences

  i am sure nowhere is perfect but if we want to compare these two countries from different prospectives like racism, job, income/spending, quality of life, standard of living etc.

  can you please give me a rough idea by sharing your experiences.. .

  by the way, i am considering applying for a masters progrmme in any of the two countries.. .

  I think its a combination of French and water.

  If only that were enough for a distinct society.

  The way you write reminds me of Rod McKuen

  Tanks. Not familiar with his work but can relate.

  My style is a combo of deductive reasoning, tongue in cheek sarcasm and OCD ;)

  Eh, people are aboot talking funny in Australia... Canada is best, eh? Now put on your runners and lumber jacket, eh, loan me a toonie, eh, and let's go to Tim Horton's, eh.

  We call it Tim's. The Horton's part is superfluous

  New Orleans is fascinating though. One wonders where such a rich cultural infuence came from. I do like a nice cajun dish from time to time....

  Just got in from a very frustrating encounter, trying to find a professional who understands CULT PTSD ...seems you have to be crazy as bat sh$t or they don't see anything wrong with you!

  It's a shrink's job to deal with batshit crazy people

  So if they don't see anything wrong with you, what does that say?

  Maybe there isn't anything wrong with you

  Maybe you're just like everyone else

  Maybe you're just not used to it

  Maybe you're not alone

  My Jimi Hendrix experience

  by confusedandalone in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  as a 13 year old a friend of mine had a jimi hendrix record and told me if we play it backwards that they said words.

  he bought the record from a shop not far from where we lived and we were the only family that still had a record player.

  so we played the record and i spun it backwards andnothing happened.

  I recall getting Smash Hits on cassette when I was 15. It rocked my world ('course it was the 80s and music was mediocre at best)

  I ate up all the Hendrix I could find including unofficial releases and bootlegs

  Good stuff that but he's more of a fine wine these days, to be appreciated but not indulged in :)

  Heart bypass surgery & blood

  by Twitch in

  my father had an angioplasty this morning and was admitted immediately for coronary artery bypass surgery due to major blockages found.. how likely or necessary is a blood transfusion for this?.

  what's the latest policy on blood?.

  i realize there's likely a thread or two dedicated to the subject but i'm looking for the short answer from those in the know, at least on the latter.. i only found out this morning and am heading to the hospital now.

  Thanks for the info

  Actually he had an angiogram to examine what they suspected already, with the likelihood of an angioplasty (stents). Due to a very high percentage of blockage, they decided to forego this and opt for a specialist opinion on the multiple bypass option. Was supposed to know tonight but will tomorrow. A crash course in cardiology

  My parents said that blood isn't absolutely necessary for this surgery (nice to hear a corollary on that here) and that there are alternatives available, for a slight fee of course. I reviewed a brochure in the room on the subject that listed options and thought it was typical government issue FAQ until I read the WTBTS info on the back. Very slick. I reserve my rather uneducated opinion on the situation until I hear from sawbones hisself. Tomorrow.

  'tis a strange feeling...

  PS the CO and his wife dropped by the hospital for a brief visit while I was there. Seemed like nice people but my spidey sense was tingling.

  There is something to tradition and history, respect for a larger community in a sense.

  I think it's cool.

  when i first came to this site.

  whenever i would try to talk about somethign from the bible that the jw's got wrong or reason on a scripture that had so much feeling you would stomp all over it.

  talking about "flying spaghetti gods" and laugh at what seemed to be my expense and then leave the thread never to return and add any substance.
