    PC Child Rearing

    Wanted to share that my mom smoked and had a few while she carried each of us to term. On birth both of us were 9 lbs approx, and turned out to be 250lbs+ each.  I always wonder if my mom had not smoked (thus lowering birth weight) , would my brother who is 6'4" be much taller. lol. On the...

    Pickton Trial Result

    This guy  is the reason we should bring back the death penalty. Its cruel to say, but people like him need to be *completely* removed from society. Nothing will bring back the people he killed. BUt at least we wont be paying taxes to keep him breathing.

    The next time you find yourself in a hotel....

    +1 Skeletor In all honesty, human beings are pretty resiliant. I have stayed in some pretty low end motels, gotten bed bugs. Lived in hostels for 6 months, and slept in some pretty questionable places. But i didnt contract ebola or hep. But after a hypocondriac business/travelling friend told...

    Port-O-Jet... UK variant ... used in the 2007 fight of the bluge. Forces fat people who need to use the crapper to run to catch up, and then they lose weight.

    blisters...tips to prevent? tips to treat them ?

    Agreed, a civilian perspective is much...(for lack of a better word) softer than that of an experienced vetran such as yourself. However, i have also seen friends who have 'toughed it out' and paid the price for excess mochismo. Not arguing, just observing that at some point, i guess experience...

    Another example of tolerance abroad

    In some ways i disagree with your region assessment. there are countless examples of people who have been in those wartorn countries. And grown up with violence, and hatred and death and dismemberment. There are germans who lived during the nazi occupation and never reduced themselves to killing...

    Another example of tolerance abroad

    All religions have had their ups and downs. Islam has had its bright shining moment of knowledge and understanding. There was a time when they were great mathmaticians and philosophers and architects. But with the religious revolution (all religions go through this at some point), they kind of...

    Another example of tolerance abroad

    I agree with most of the above posts. wanted to point out that the school is a christian oriented/run british school(as per initial post). So she was probbably reasured that the teaching conditions would be even more relaxed and similar to hers at home. They have even closed the school in an...

    blisters...tips to prevent? tips to treat them ?

    "Even if you've only got a small developing blister, drain it as soon as possible and keep up the maintenance thoughout the race. " In regards to the website... aside from injecting 'white hot' pain into my blisters i probbably would be hesitant on the whole 'even if you have a small blister'...

    blisters...tips to prevent? tips to treat them ?

    Not to sound argumentative, but just wanted to note. Its better to not peel off the top if you dont have to. Skin is the organ (yes organ) that keeps all the crawlies on the outside from getting in. Its the first line of defence. The fluid that is between the first and second layers of...

    Canadian War Toilet

    I am sure in arctic conditions terms like 'Speed <insert verb here>ing' are more common to use. lol. I only once have had to do my business in -45 (before windchill) and i certainly can appreciate the need for speed.

    Canadians rescued from sinking ship in Antarctic

    that was a stretch...lol Personally that would scare me pretty bad being on a sinking ship in one of the least populated areas of the planet... in ice cold water. Not the most friendliest environment. Glad things went so well. But i am sure the canadians just took of their shirts and did a few...

    Another example of tolerance abroad

    Its news like this, that i use as ammunition in my conversations with people who oppose our participation in places overseas. I only can shake my head at hearing this. I just cant understand how a group of people can march in the streets and call for the death of a teacher, because the children...
