    We can’t go out any more as my wife has a chronic illness and we can’t travel far any more. It’s through no fault of anyone … it was just bad luck that she got sick.

    But I would suggest that while you are able and capable to organize at least once a year to take you and your spouse to the highest priced hotel you can or want to pay for and stay there for at least a day or two or more (I would suggest a week).

    As long as you have bit of money to move around, I would really encourage you to really plan out and do this no matter how. We never had much of a high budget when we went out for our trips. It’s amazing what you can organize with a bit of money and stretching out a budge as much as possible.

    The reason why I say do it … is that age is creeping up on all of us and it is a very sad thing to get to a point in your life when you no longer can do the things you had always wanted to. We got to do lots and we are happy but still we feel like we could have done more if we had been lucky enough to maintain our health.

    Go to a hotel and pay extra for a higher end place with great bathroom / shower / tub facilities.

    I used to travel a lot overseas for fun … when we were younger, stronger, healthier and had a bit of money. One of the best parts of the trip was in booking a really nice hotel near the airport just before you leave because you know you will be roughing it for the next week or two in budget hotels or apartments.

    Then it was also great when you came home … we’d book the same luxury hotel at the end of the trip and there was no better feeling than to come off a long flight, crash into a big huge hotel room, run a hot shower and stand there for an hour … then run a tub and soak there for another hour. The only issue we ever had was that my wife would always want first dibs and we’d take turns lounging in the water, while the other watched TV or fell asleep in a nice cool room with thick fluffy duvets, then at the end of it all, we both fall asleep like babies together… man I miss those trips.

    ALWAYS ask questions and never stop.

    It’s when we stop asking questions that problems start.

    If government and those in power can’t handle questions, then they shouldn’t be in power.

    It’s our responsibility to always ask questions … it’s their responsibility to always answer our questions or help make a society good enough that we don’t have to ask that many questions.


  • I’m Indigenous Canadian and the morals and life lessons I learned from my parents and Elders is that … this life is temporary and it is the same for everyone else, no matter who they are, where they come from, how intelligent or wealthy they are … we were born from the earth and in the end, we all return to the earth.

    I am tribal myself and identify with my ethnic group but at the same time, I was taught that every human is a human is a human. We all bleed, we all break, we all cry, we all get cold, we get hot, we eat and we take a shit … all of us are the same no matter who you say you are or what you want to believe.

    The things that are important is in what we do for one another no matter who it is. The things I was taught was to try to do my best for my family and those around me and to be good to others.

    And the main reason to be good is to make life one step better for the next generation of people after you. You aren’t living life for your convenience, you are doing things now that will affect the lives the those after you. Personally, I don’t have children, but the lessons I learned apply to me, my family and everyone of those people to come after me, whether I am related to them or not is irrelevant.

    I once had to baby sit a new kitten that one of my nieces got. I had to hold on to the little kitty for about two days while the owners had to travel and move around before they got settled and took the kitten back.

    At first I thought the kitty was cute and we held and cuddled it and took care of it. It was lonely all the time so we had to make a box and let it sleep with us at night. No big complaints until day two.

    I wear jeans most of the time and on day two I noticed scratch marks all over my legs. The kitten kept jumping on me climbing and wanting to sit on my lap. At the time, I thought it was cute … but later realized this thing is using me as a scratch post!

    It made me realize the truth of an old description I heard about cats.

    They are furballs with hidden razor blades.

    You get drawn in to want to hold and cuddle a cute little plushy soft thing … only to realize that there are sharp objects hidden underneath.

    That’s the stupidity of all this

    Yeah, let’s make him leader, give him control of everything and everyone and then try to leave the country we gave him control of

    It’s not one man that has taken control of everything, its an entire movement of professionals, politicians, academics, wealthy backers, supporters and a delusional mob that have taken over the country.

    Practice, organization and planning.

    I installed a parachute hammock at the cottage, jumped in and ended up in the same situation as the comic.

    I had to first learn to get in and out safely.

    Then I built a small shelf i could place drinks on when reaching from the hammock.

    Then I had to remember to bring my book, pillow, blanket, phone, headset and anything else with me for my hammock session.

    The only thing that interrupts me now is a toilet visit … but I’m not installing toilet facilities in the hammock.
