Ray you watch way too much "Desperate Housewives"!! LoL P

Not according to the AB Gov't as they released info this week stating that AB had record births lately - obviously the dads are taking time away from the video games for something!! P

Thanks Marc, I guess I'm still running Tiger... P

I use image shack but it shouldn't be much different... When prompted to upload photo or "Choose folder" in the case of image shack, click it and on the left column (where there is desktop, application, documents, etc. - should be "pictures". Just click on that and you should see your iPhoto files - your photos will be filed by date (I think). Hope that helps. Peter

Ray, I know I was just being cheeky! Things in our neighborhood have gone down hill ever since they shut down our local library!! Damn that Druh Ferral!! P

They're all gang banging, selling dope and breaking into houses... P

Absolutely not! There's just been a lot of hoopla somewhat recently on here about how many rod manufactures now outsource to asia (whether they actually admit to it or not)... That's all! P

Obviously not mass produced in some asian factory!! Great vid! Thanks for sharing! P

Absolutely Ray!! Just make sure you invite me next time you head into the Castle area!! I'll be "in like Flynn"! P

Yeah of course Ray!! Dah!! Sorry! I spoke to Tim (from the Hat) at the same time I spoke with you at Rick's place!! I owe you a beer Ray!! P

Thanks Tim! P

Really!! At the Calgary Expo?! From what I remember, the SIMMS rep dropped the ball and only had one pair of waders displayed and maybe 2 pairs of boots, oh yeah and a SIMMS banner... Pretty crappy booth!!

Here's the latest update. We heard from the other dog owner yesterday and they say the are going to pay the full amount! So hopefully that works out ad they follow through. Thanks for all of your positive thoughts! Kalim has perked up over the last serveral days, but is still having trouble navigating with a lampshade on his head! LoL! He gets his drain out this afternoon so that should be a lot more comfortable for him... P

Hmmm... Not sure I agree with you Al!! The 22" Rainbow I landed on Monday was full of "piss and vinegar" (with 2 huge jumps), as was the 20" one, as well as the 18" one!! LoL P

Same but different... "Hemp" traditionally refers to the plant that is used for it's fibers to make rope, cloth, paper, etc. Cannabis sativa L. subsp. sativa var. sativa is the variety grown for industrial use in Europe, Canada, and elsewhere, while C. sativa subsp. indica generally has poor fiber quality and is primarily used for production of recreational and medicinal drugs.

Yup! But vets are like dentists (in this province) as they set their own fees (no fee schedule) - it's a license to print money!! As with dentists, try to ask for a list to see what each individual clinics charges for services... Good luck with that! They don't make it easy to shop around! CBC Marketplace did a spot a few years ago on how they totally over charge on prescriptions (over 300% on stuff you can get at a regular pharmacy)! Obviously it depends on the size of the dog, as well (Kalim takes two units of anesthetic), also this event happened on a long weekend (you pay a premium for services on a long weekend, even on a regular weekend)... But yeah, it's steep!! P

So the latest update... After 1st contact, she is willing to pay half (but wanted to talk to her boyfriend tonight)!! Not sure what will become of it at this stage... I think if they do force us to go the bylaw route or small claimes court, they would be SOL as they are in fact responsible for their dogs actions, period!! After doing a little reading, and where this particular bite is (supposedly indicates aggression as if the dogs were "playing" the nip or bite is usually around the neck/face - this bite is on Kalim's side)! P

Rob, From what I understand, there is no specific regulations outside of a national park and lead is totally legal to use in AB!! P

I've had limited success up from the 68th street bridge swinging streamers... I have caught fish, but had to work WAY too hard to catch them!! I've given up and head south now!! And now I catch lots of fish!! I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but you asked!! P

Thanks... I was not there (I was fishing on the river), but know there was a ball involved and the other dog was quite posessive of... Kalim is not an agressive dog at all, but likes to play... Anyway, we will contact the owner and ask how they would like to handle the situation and go from there... We are willing to pay for the emergency consult ($130) as it was on a long weekend and knew there would be a premium to take K in... The vet really didn't have much to say about the situation, except to mentioned that we could take the other owner to court... P

Gang, Yesterday Deb was at the neighborhood dog park with our 6 y/o Airedale - Kalim. After one lap around I he was bitten quite severely by another dog (from what Deb told me it was unprovoked). Anyway, she was able to get the name and phone number of the other dog's owner (other dog's owner mentioned something about having some kind of issues with there other dog, not the one that bit Kalim). My inquiry is... The vet bill was $800 (Kalim required a few layers of sutures and a drain)!! What is the protocol as far as having the other owner pay for that bill?! Is it as simple as calling the owner up and telling them the amount?! Is contacting Animal Control a viable option if nothing becomes of it?! Thanks, Peter

Wow! Pretty awesome!! Thanks for the link Mar! P

Why don't they just mine it and put it in the Sydney tar ponds!! LoL P

That's what "spin" is... "Propoganda" (positive spin) And yes you bring up valid questions about coal extraction and environmental impact... That debate has been going on for hundreds of years! Look back at to the days of the "industrial revolution" and all the old photos of jolly 'ol England - lots of dirty faces, landscapes, etc. - gives you a perspecitive of how "dirty" coal is when no regulations are in place!! *Edit* Coal like oil & gas is a fossil fuel and there are "finite" resources (limited amounts) available..
