I complain enough about how much spam I get in my email folders, but I seem to be getting more snail mail spam as well these days. Readers Digest is once again claiming that if I send in this form with that sticker I just might have a chance at a truckload of money. [...]

I’ve had asthma pretty much since I was born and unlike most people I know, I never grew out of it during my teen years. In my case it’s here to stay and it really sucks. I got switched off Ventolin though, they say that can be hard on the airways with extended [...]

As most know by now, my wife had been in for an operation a month ago, followed up by an emergency surgery 10 days later due to some complications. She’s been back home for 2 weeks and getting better every day, but she isn’t coming in to the store very much so far. [...]

Things were going fine for Jan during the last week, up until around 1am Wednesday morning. It started with stomach cramps and feeling like a lot of gas buildup. Then a half hour later she started vomiting and that continued all night, every 15 minutes or so. I took her to hospital [...]

After a long sleepless night in the hospital she would have begged to come home if the Dr. had so much as hinted that she would need to stay longer. Good news though, as soon as the Doc came in to see us he said she could go home today if she wanted to, [...]

Today she’s doing much better. She’s starting to eat again and can sit up on her own although with a lot of difficulty. Apparently the night shift nurses tonight aren’t so good as the ones who were on during the day. They’re not helping her to sit up or walk, even though [...]

Just a quick update; after a relatively sleepless night we headed to the hospital at 6:30am, filled out a little more paperwork and then waited. At 7:45am Jan was taken into the OR and thus my waiting continued. She was out of the OR at around 10:30am and is currently still in the [...]

Tomorrow morning, bright and early, Jan goes into the hospital for her surgery. For those that don’t know, she has large uterine fibroids and lately they’ve been giving her some trouble. Due to their size and the way they’ve grown into the uterine wall, the only real option for removing them is to [...]

Living next to a golf course is a mixed blessing. One on hand it sucks in the winter, there are no trees to block the wind so it howls around the house pretty much 24 hours a day. On the other hand in the summer I have to endure a steady ‘clack’ as [...]

Next Monday the wife goes to the hospital for a surgery, she’ll likely be there for 3 days so during the early part of next week you may see the store closed at odd hours while I run back and forth to visit. It shouldn’t be too bad though since Kate is done exams [...]

Monster’sMother’s day is coming soon, May 11th this year, and as usual I’ll probably just be getting mine a cake from Sobeys. Not very original, but that’s what I’ve been doing for the last 5 years or so, why break tradition eh? I’m kidding of course, along with the cake we always try [...]

Barbara Walters recently did a special on Living to 150 where she interviewed Dr. David Sinclair. Sinclair has been doing human gene research for some time now, particularly the ones to do with aging. He believes that aging is primarily a series of diseases and as such, they can be slowed down or [...]

I’m one of those lucky people who can sleep through just about anything. Thunder storm? zzzzzz… Music playing? zzzzzz… Other people snoring? zzzzz… Kid awake at 5am? zzzgrrr, damnit…
By the time I go to bed I can be asleep in minutes, but not everyone is so lucky. Some people [...]
Lock keeps Freezing

I’m glad winter is finally gone. Whenever we get really cold weather here, the deadbolt on our front door at home freezes shut and no amount of lock de-icing helps to break it. I have to take it apart from the inside dry it all out with a hair dryer and then everything [...]
