i don't know if your grandmother's place was nestled along the shores of lake winnipeg or not, but when i remember gimli, even "i" have fond memories (august 1992), walking along the sugary white sand in +30c heat.
Pictures of Grand Beach, know in Manitoba, as " The Beach "
Its 3 km beach of fine white sand is considered one of the best beaches in the world. On summer weekends, it is not uncommon for more than 20,000 visitors to come and enjoy the modern campgrounds, picnic areas, and of course, the beach itself.
i'll tell you guys something, being nice doesn't get you anywhere in this world.
being nice gets your heart broken, gets you walked all over, and taken advantage of.
whenever someone sees you as a nice guy, they'll see you as a person they can take advantage of, and you'll let them because you're nice..
If we told you straight out that you were boring, it'd hurt your feelings. "Too nice" is a way to end things without hurting you as much.
Now I'm Boring.
today we went out to lunch with my mom.
she invited some friends of hers without telling us.
we thought it was going to be just her and her husband and my brother and his wife.

I've always felt that nice guys finished last, especially with the females. I hated that when I was growing up and started dating
" You're a nice guy.......................but, I'd rather go out with Billy Joe. You know the guy, who treats me like crap, and cheats on me, but we've known each other since we were kids, when he used to beat me up, and spit on me. But don't feel bad.......you're a nice guy.

you probably don't hear this enough simon and angharad, but thank you both for all your hard work.
as i understand it, simon wrote the entire software for this new board.
speaking as someone who has trouble putting something in quotes, i am thoroughly impressed.
I second that.
BT: I read that , on another post about actually writing the software, and all I can say is WOW !
I decree that May 13, be forever marked as J-W D appreciation day.

my husband went home friday and went back to work today.
he had another catherization on friday and it showed that his heart was stable though still damaged.
his new medications are helping his heart have less work to do.
Hi Blondie. Thanks for the update. Nice to hear hubby is both back at home and at work.
Are there any organizations in your area that provide help around the home for those that are recovering from surgery or illness ?
I always feel frustrated at posts like this, where I wish I could help somehow !
Love David

AHHHHH Yes.
Grand Beach.
Like a corner of the Bermudas in Manitoba, no less.
That brings back memories. I had a girlfriend who lived in a small town, not far from there, Lac de Bonnet if I remember correctly.
Spent a lot of time there. Nice and quiet, during the week, and Coney Island on the weekends, when 100,000 Winnipegers made the short trip, North. Does anyone know if they finally 4 laned that highway all the way ? I remember it only going the majority of the way and then down to 2 lanes.
It was nuts going back to Winnipeg on a Sunday or Monday long weekend.
Kind of like the Don Valley Parking lot eh Ray !
Robdar:
Canada is incredibly lovely. My favorite place so far is Thunderbay, Ontario.
The time I was there I kept seeing moose crossing signs and yet never saw a moose. And not because I didn't go looking for them either. I am thinking that I will have to return soon.
Well the next time you're in town give us a call. I'm sure we can scare up a few moose, for you, and deer, porcupines, not to mention bears, and there have even been cougar sightings the past few years ! No shortage of wild life here, especially when we are partying at our campsite
please forgive the following rantings.
several months ago i lost my watch.
it is somewhere in the house.
Thunder.
That is too funny. Did the same thing with a pager, only it was on vibe mode. I had to walk through the house, with my cordless phone on redial and keep calling it, trying to keep the kids quiet, etc, trying to listen for a vibration no less.
Eventually found it in the laundry hamper !
