Try To Have A Merrymaking Time

Traditions touch us, they connect us and they expand us...Rita Barreto Craig (age unknown)

Hello folks. Once again that time of year has reached our lives. Unfortunately, 2022 was filled with grim and depressing events such as our health care system. In simple terms it's destroyed and beyond repair. Inflation was born again and the WuFlu (Covid-19) still lingers amongst us. Homelessness appears to be escalating. Our absurd justice system keeps becoming more senseless and illogical. Our little boy who tries so hard to be Prime Minister continues to waste our money (over $1 billion on his G-20 journey) and as usual acts like a fool.

The Nazi Christmas Bashers relentlessly try to make our Christmas traditions obsolete. Tim Allen's new Christmas movie titled "The Santa Clauses" received flak because the customary phrase Merry Christmas was mentioned instead of Happy Holidays. As far as I'm concerned, these Nazis should be placed in exile. Why can't people just sit back and enjoy the festive season rather than being assholes. Face it, that's all they are...fucking assholes.

I hope everyone can find some time and forget about the extreme mess the country and world are in. Enjoy your Yuletide decorations, enjoy the food and drink (remember please don't drink and drive). Most of all enjoy your family and friends. Celebrate the jolly time. It's time to relax, chill-out, unwind and try to appreciate what we have. We still have some things to be thankful for.

So from my E.A. (Executive Assistant) and myself have a wonderful and joyous festive season.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

The Truth Is A Difficult Seeker

"The best things in life are free, but sooner or later the government will find a way to tax them." -- Unknown

Prelude

Abortion and Climate Change have been serious news topics for decades. Both subjects are never-ending. They consist of pro and con advocates. Each lobby can be very bullying and forceful. My belief on abortion is quite simple. The Libertarian Party states "keep your laws off my body", which I absolutely agree with their phrase. Anyway, let's talk about climate change or as it was once called, global warming.

The following is the United Nations (U.N.) definition of climate change. It is caused by long-term shifts in temperature and weather patterns especially caused by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas. Let me just say I have never put much faith into the U.N. I'm not a believer of climate change. I do believe "some things" are happening, but for all the wrong reasons these activists swore by.

Let me explain.

A good friend sent me an email from a Natural News article Aug. 30/19 which stated N.A.S.A. (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) admits that climate change occurs because of changes in the earth's solar orbit and NOT because of SUV's and fossil fuels. They've known for more than 60 years that changes occurring to planetary weather patterns are completely natural and normal. The biggest factor affecting earth's climate is the sun. Proof of that is when I watched a Nova program on T.V. about the solar system and Zachary Quinto (who was the narrator) said, "The aging sun is getting hotter."

I have always maintained N.A.S.A. knows a lot more than what they're telling us. An article in Slay News on Aug. 19/02 specified 1,200 scientists and scholars declared there is no climate emergency. One lead author of the declaration, atmospheric physicist Richard Lindzen, has called the current climate narrative "absurd." The report also stated the earth's climate has varied with cold and warm periods for as long as the planet has existed.

He also said there is no surprise that we are experiencing a period of warming. The write-up also proclaimed carbon dioxide (CO2) has benefits and is not a pollutant. In fact, the report also made known CO2 is very beneficial for nature. Furthermore, there is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and such like natural disasters or making them more frequent.

Last but not least, an article from Infowars on Sept. 26/22 stated a leading climate scientist William Kininmoth said CO2 has almost no effect on global temperature. He claims recent warming is probably the simple result of fluctuations in the ever-changing ocean circulation. The main driver of global temperature is the movement of energy in water, both in oceans and the atmosphere, after evaporation. Mr. Kininmoth is a former consultant to the World Meteorological Organization's Commission for Climatology and former head of the Australian Government's National Climate Center.

I happened to come across the name Michael Shellenberger and found his story quite soothing. He is a well-known author on various issues and was a vocal environmental activist. In 2008, he won the Time Magazine Award "Hero's of the Environment." But now he admits climate change is occurring, but it's not the end of the world.

His position and writings on climate change and environmentalism have received criticism from environmental scientists and academics, who have called his articles bad science and inaccurate. Meanwhile, he has acquired praise from conservative and libertarian groups. In 2020 he published "Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All." Mr. Shellenberger stated climate change is not the essential threat that is portrayed to be in popular media and activism. It certainly sounds like he became fed-up trying to fool the public and agreeing with the extremist's invention.

The adversaries use everything to their advantage. I call it a triple threat. First of all, when certain people read particular stories of the same topic over and over, sooner or later they'll start to believe them. Secondly, let's face reality. Some folks are gullible and need something or someone to have faith in. Remember the twisted cult leaders David Koresh (Branch Davidians) and Jim Jones (People's Temple). Or what about the so-called evangelists Ernest Angley (he died at 99 years old), Benny Hinn, and Peter Popoff. Sneaky Pete sold "holy water" to the public. All five of these crooks lured and manipulated "weak" individuals. The final outcome was the swindlers had complete control of their followers. Furthermore, the media and government have complete and total control over us with their propaganda, tall tales and even lies.

Then there's people like the little Swedish crusader (not so little anymore, she's 19 years old) Greta Thunberg preaching the world is going to end very soon unless we do something about climate change very fast. Go back to bed, my agitator. You need lots of rest.

We can't forget about infamous Justin Trudeau, who is just a little boy and tries to be Prime Minister. He's so crazed and enchanted with climate change, he rammed his ridiculous carbon tax down the throats of Canadians.

Epilogue

My belief of the climate change phenomenon is sincere and elementary…it's nothing more than a scam. Politicians love taxes, and this is another way the dishonest shysters take money out of pockets. I'm also convinced that most of this so-called climate change is transpiring from the heavens. The greenies say the evidence is plentiful. Of course, it is if you read and watch left wing media rubbish.

Instrumental Masquerade

Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build bridges when there are no rivers. Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971)

Prelude

Politicians crave for your votes and they'll do almost anything to lure you into believing they are the best choice. The legislators will use influential and manipulating phrases such as election promise or campaign promise. I researched both expressions and came upon the following definition. An election promise or campaign promise is a promise or guarantee made to the public by a candidate or political party that is trying to win an election. "Nicely said" but I have to laugh and shake my head in disgust. That statement has absurd flaws. We must never forget we are dealing with politicians. In their own deceitful way they are begging and asking us PLEASE VOTE ME! PRETTY PLEASE! My interpretation is a lot more realistic. The word promise is extremely false and bogus. It should be replaced with attempt or make an effort. The word guarantee is truly and particularly imaginary. It should be exchanged with uncertain. Think about it folks. When was the last time you heard a politician guaranteeing anything for anyone?

Some consultants classify the outcome of promises as fulfilled, fulfilled in part or unfulfilled. I like the wording professional sports teams use on the status of their injured players. They will reveal their players condition as probable, questionable, doubtful or simply stated out. It's a bit more practical. For example, a politician could say, "If elected it's very doubtful our party will increase taxes." Or the self-admirer may say, "It's highly probable we will be pouring more money into our health care system." Those statements are still very hazy but we could expect the rulers to renege on their so-called "promises". However, that would be too honest and it will never be in their playbook. That "special bunch" of know-it-alls are cunning but not crazy.

What prompted me to write this rant was our provincial Premier Doug Ford who has proven to me he's just another carbon copy of other politicians. According to an article in City News on Oct. 3/21 he did succeed in much of the 60 pledges from his 2018 campaign but most of the major "promises" weren't achieved. His "promise" to fix our dilapidated health care system was completely ignored. We all know the program is in massive chaos and serious condition. It's hanging by a thread and in need of immediate repair. Meanwhile he promised $10 billion in treats and goodies for Ontarians during his 2022 campaign. Promises, promises, promises.

Speaking of inducements and bribes, the Fiberals and the N.D.P. (Nimrod Demolition Party) were certainly wheedling or betting said ass kissing the teachers. The N.D.P. "promised" to cap classroom sizes of 24 students from grades 4 to 8 and hire 20,000 teachers including education workers. The Fiberals "promised to cap classroom sizes to 20 students and hire 10,000 teachers. It's quite obvious that both parties didn't (and probably still don't) give a flying fuck about the education system. Their only concern was to manipulate teachers to support their regimes. Very shameful and disgusting.

Ontario can be extremely volatile whenever an election is emerging in the horizon. Some of the electorate is stuck between a rock and a hard place whenever it's time to vote. There are more choices for a left-wing regime than a true and genuine conservative administration. Before the final tally is official sometimes it's difficult to foresee what leadership will reign as rulers.

The 2022 Ontario Provincial Election is in the history books. The eligible voter turnout was a record low of only 43.5%. Ontario had 10.7 million registered voters but less than half cast their ballots. In my riding of Hamilton Mountain just over 40% of the 83,000 eligible voters visited the polling stations.

Epilogue

As usual I was thoroughly annoyed when I heard about the poor showing at the polls. However it finally occurred to me that many people couldn't care less. Do I condemn them? Not anymore. There isn't a trustworthy candidate or political party worth voting for. They all sing the same song and these inferior actors just go through the motions. Most of them are con artists. Therefore I've decided I won't be voting again. What's the purpose? It's just a waste of time.

Energized Infatuation

There may be aliens in our Milky Way Galaxy, and there are billions of other galaxies. The probability is almost certain that there is life somewhere in space. Buzz Aldrin 1930-

Most countries are classified as a state. A state is an organized (I question that) political community under one government. Each nation has four components: population, territory, government and sovereignty. According to Wikipedia the earliest state was established 5,500 years ago. Government is a fundamental factor within a state maintaining law and order. Most laws are necessary for society to function. If they were non-existent society would be dangerous and uncertain. There are three principal types of government: Democracy, Monarchy and Dictatorship. In a Dictatorship society totalitarianism and authoritarianism is a mandatory way of life for it's citizens.

The following is my opinion of some politicians. Not all but a high majority of elected officials. I've always wondered if these legislators are truly human. At times their mentality is crazy and absurd. I think we can all agree their behaviour can be very two-faced. In other words making promises one day and later on backstabbing their voters. A considerable number of bureaucrats are hypocritical, untrustworthy and deceiving. It doesn't matter what level of government they represent. It occurs at all stages, Federal, Provincial and Municipal politics. 

These "leaders" know how to "play the game". They usually look very dapper and most of them appear to be somewhat educated individuals. One of their talents is when they are asked a question their response might last three, four or five minutes. Sometimes even longer. The motormouths are either full of hot air or enjoy hearing themselves talk...probably both. Another skill (I consider absolutely marvellous) is these "upstanding" baby-kissers are never found guilty of any wrongdoings they've committed. Periodically these public officials are accused of corruption or unethical behaviour but are never convicted. Remember the 2010 Ontario gas plant scandal starring the two villains Dalton McGuinty and Kathleen Wynne. It's like these "honest souls" are bomb proof and own a powerful force-field that prevents them from ever being found guilty of any crime.

These office holders can never be trusted and a major trait they possess is dishonesty. They can be extremely cunning. These "managers" are crafty and full of surprises. Most bureaucrats are spineless varmints. A prime example is an article in the Toronto Sun on Jan. 24/22 titled, "Toronto gun violence skyrockets; no politician will say why". Very disgraceful the truth can't be told. The ship is sinking fast. Another outrageous characteristic the desk jockeys have is their love for taxes. They always deny their adoration for raising or creating new taxes but we all know it's a smokescreen...just another lie. We can't forget about their selfishness. When these money grabbers decide it's time for a raise there isn't any negotiation with other parties, no job performance appraisal or yearly salary increments. These hand shakers make up their own minds and take what they want.

However, I did some research and you'll be glad to know I discovered how male as well as female politicians are created. If individuals (in their early twenties) show any indications of greed, dishonesty or craving authority they will be selected, beamed up and prepped by the high council of an alien planet called Puppetrey. It's been happening for three centuries but more frequently in the past six decades.

The celestial body is mineral rich with many large deposits of gold, silver, nickel and copper. The planet is the size of Canada and 230 million miles from earth. The riches generate a massive desire for wealth and fortune for every visitor. It's part of the aliens mind control program. The future "leaders" adventure lasts one hour. Part of the agenda is they're subjected to a powerful mind manipulation machine called Marxy. The contraption penetrates and enhances additional deviant behaviour into their brains specifically the cerebrum because it controls thinking, planning, problem-solving, reasoning as well as judgment. 

The final session of the project is when the guests are injected with a drug called C.E.D.U.H. The compound represents corruption, evasiveness, dishonesty, unethical actions, and hypocrisy. Once again the mixture concentrates on the cerebrum. The entire experiment was invented by the alien elders many centuries ago. The executives are extremely happy with the results. The success rate is 92%. When the process is finally finished the future politicians are returned to earth and pursue a career in politics. They recall the trip but only as a bizarre and twisted dream.

Epilogue

Remember ladies and gentlemen, politicians see themselves as saviours, and claim they really care.

Shameful Failure

"I once thought losing my confidence was the worst thing that could happen; then I lost my faith." -- Bobby Vee (1943-2016)

Prelude

For the past few years, it's been difficult to be a loyal and devoted Canadian. At times, I consider myself stateless. Of course, our Boy Wonder or should I say Boy Bungle in Ottawa has never proven to me he is a worthwhile or competent person to be Prime Minister. I deem that as a complete farce. As I've said before, he is an embarrassment and disgrace to this country. Do I have to remind you he financially compensated Omar Khadar who was a bloodthirsty terrorist of I.S.I.S. "Our leader" said the barbaric savage's case was a Charter of Rights and Freedoms issue? I don't believe that one bit. "Mr. Fantastic" will never convince me of this foolish and mindless decision. Isn't it "funny" how that statute functions at times. I wish our "beloved one" would do a lot of people a favour. Resign and return to teaching white river rafting. Anyway, enough about the "do-gooder" and misfit.

There are many problems that need massive repair in Canada, and one of them is the justice system. It's completely absurd…a real fucking joke. Let's talk about the Youth Criminal Justice Act (Y.C.J.A.) for a moment. It was established in 2003. It replaced the Young Offenders Act (Y.O.A.), which was created in 1984 by our laughable ruler's "father" and his Liberal gang.

The Y.C.J.A. produces a separate criminal justice system for young persons and promotes adolescents to become law-abiding citizens. It also encourages having those teenagers take responsibility for their actions. The system realizes the level of maturity is not the same degree as an adult. Interesting. Is the government saying a 16-year-old who murders someone doesn't really know what he or she was doing because of the "maturity factor"? As far as I'm concerned, that's a crock of shit. What happened to the old saying "do the crime, do the time." But then again the defence lawyers will, without a doubt, take complete advantage of that legislation.

Anyway, here's the latest example of an "immature" young person committing a horrendous crime. On Feb. 4/22 a Grade 12 Toronto High School student was murdered by a 14-year-old juvenile. Police described it as an execution style killing. The boy was charged with murder and attempted murder.

In 2014 a 14-year-old male youth shot and killed a 13-year-old girl in Toronto, Ontario. He was convicted of murder but only sentenced to three years because of the Y.C.J.A. Yep, justice served. You tell me, is that right?

Our country is blessed with the upside down and asinine Parole Board of Canada (P.B.C.). Their latest travesty was Feb. 11/22 when the Toronto Sun reported Rohan Range was able to leave prison for two months to attend "personal development" at a community facility. All he did was slaughter two sisters in 1995. Sounds like he has a bit of a temper.

Another revolting story by the nauseating P.B.C. was about Marcello Palma. He murdered three prostitutes in Toronto, Ontario in 1996. For some strange reason, he shot each woman in their head with a .357 Magnum. He was given a "life sentence" but as of now this lunatic is living at a halfway house in Barrie, Ontario. The P.B.C. are such "caring" people.

Corey Christopher Tremblett murdered his former 17-year-old girlfriend in Nova Scotia. He was convicted of second degree murder in 1998. In 2018, he was granted four unescorted temporary absences and in late 2021 he was allowed day parole for six months.

Another sleazebag is Brian Edward Abrosimo who was convicted of sexual assaults, sexual assault with a weapon, unlawful confinement and forcible confinement. He was sentenced to 14 years and 4 months in 2004. He also attacked an eleven-year-old girl. He now resides in a community residential facility somewhere in British Columbia. Maybe once the P.B.C. got to know him, he was an all right guy.

Graham James was a former hockey coach and sentenced to 7 years in prison for multiple sex charges of players he instructed in the 1990's. He was granted full parole in 2016 and lives at a halfway house in Montreal. I wonder if there is an arena close by?

This last case is a perfect example how this outrageous system is completely deplorable. In 2020 Donald Possy received day parole in Montreal despite having a high risk of reoffending. All his problem was he's a long-time sex offender and has a history of child luring. Obviously, the P.B.C. doesn't give a flying fuck about public safety.

These are only a few. Trust me, the list goes on and on. There are many dangerous people walking the streets, concentrating on their prey and ready to attack.

Epilogue

The P.B.C. is disgusting and shameless. Their insanity must create constant havoc for a lot of victims' families. It almost seems this preposterous commission shows pity and feels sorry for these horrendous criminals. Numerous occasions show the punishment doesn't fit the crime, and we can thank the non-elected judges for their appalling decisions. Some of these magistrates give ridiculous and light sentences to violent demons. With Liberals controlling our destiny, we will see more of our justice system collapse. Don't be surprised if the heinous Paul Bernardo gets some sort of parole sooner or later. Any bets?

My Head Continues To Spin

"Life is full of circles" - Nora Roberts (1950-)

Prelude

I know everyone is weary and certainly had enough of the Wu Flu or as other people refer to it as Covid-19. Wait a minute. Not everyone is sick and tired of the chaos. The pharmaceutical companies are enjoying this turmoil. I find it very strange that hardly no one calls this virus the Wuhan Flu. Is it racist to say Wuhan Flu? Either way the government and media has drilled into our heads the name Covid-19 (as well as other things) is the appropriate name. I wonder how long the high priced help of W.H.O. (World Health Organization) took to create that handle. You must remember they're part of the United Nations and we all know how ambitious, successful as well as effective the U.N. really is. Have conditions actually changed for the good in Third World countries?

You may recall I wrote a rant last year titled "You Be The Judge". Since then I'm still confused and feel uncertain about the Wu Flu. Once again, before you call me "whatever" I realize this virus is for real and sadly individuals have passed away. The Covid-19 numbers in Ontario between Dec. 25/21 to Jan. 1/22 had almost 100,000 people tested positive. We all know the Golden Years folks are more vulnerable to contact this Wu Flu than the younger generations. In fact they're more susceptible to catch any sickness.

Back in 1999 I was afflicted with the flu like I've never experienced before. I didn't eat for five days and slept (I kid you not) 22 hours a day. The only time I got up out of bed was to have a couple sips of water and a few drags off a cigarette. On occasion I would go to the washroom and my bowel movements were a black liquid. Finally I forced myself to see my doctor. He told me I was on the verge of pneumonia and threatened he would hospitalize me if I didn't start to eat immediately. To this day I still say it. If was in my eighties or nineties I would've died. But because I was 45 years old my system was able to combat the virus and I finally recovered.

Now comes my question period. Why did people test positive after they received their two shots? Why is it N.H.L. (National Hockey League) players who sit on the bench are not required to wear masks? Another example was the Scotties Curling Tournament in Thunder Bay, Ontario back on Jan. 28/22 to Feb. 6/22. The female curlers weren't wearing masks and social distancing wasn't practiced at all by the participants. However, Ontario was "in" a lockdown until Jan. 31/22.

One sporting event that had me totally befuddled was the World Cup qualifying soccer game played on Jan. 30/22 at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ontario. The province was still in a lockdown but our (buck a beer) Premier and his gang decided to let the game proceed with more stringent pandemic restrictions. Instead of full capacity (24,000) they only allowed half the amount of spectators.

As usual every morning I sit on my living room couch, drink my coffee and watch T.S.N. sports highlights from the night and/or day before. I saw the feature from that soccer match and shook my head in disbelief. The 12,000 fans were packed into the north side of the stadium like sardines. Hmm. Where was the social distancing? Plus what baffled me to a greater extent was I noticed a lot of spectators weren't wearing masks. I'm assuming the fans had to show their vaccination certificates but the fearful media had stated even people who are fully vaccinated are still testing positive with Covid-19. How does that happen?

I felt sorry for the folks who stood outside in frigid temperatures waiting to receive their Wu Flu kits. However, I shook my head in disgust when I read our "responsible" government ran out of the devices. Yep, only the fools at the House of Commons or Queens Park could pull a boner like that.

Then we have two other caring individuals who would thoroughly love to command and rule Ontario. New Democratic Party (NDP) queen Andrea Horvath and Liberal overseer Steven Del Duca. Of course they have to give their "knowledge and mastery" on the issue. These two leftists wanted all certificates to require a third dose. What's next? As usual they're trying to make themselves look like real honest to goodness thoughtful and considerate saviours.

A very good friend of mine sent me an e-mail three weeks ago that I found intriguing. The Herland Report indicated Israel had over 90% of their population vaccinated but Israeli hospitals were filled with Covid-19 patients. Figure that one out.

Media and government continued to install fear and paranoia into our minds. In fact my neighbour wore a mask when she was outside working in her garden. Now the latest I heard governments are treating the virus as history.

Epilogue

I'm still in a stupor about this whole non-stop misadventure. At times I wonder if it's overplayed. You do realize the government and media have mysterious powers to make people overreact as well as panic. Sometimes I speculate if this flu was "slightly" exaggerated. I recently read Omicron has two other variants, BA-2 and BA-4. Here we go again. Our "leaders" and the Fourth Estate will have another field day controlling as well as placing us in a state of fear. Let's hope it's all bogus. Time will tell.

Thinking About Going Cashless?

The Inception of the Antique Sideshow

All the crap they tell you about...getting joy and having a kind of wisdom in your golden years - it's all tripe. Woody Allen (1935-)

Prelude

The experts say life has three stages. My E.A. (Executive Assistant) and I as well as most of my friends have entered the Third Stage also known as the Golden Years. This portion of our lives is considered to be the age between 65 and 80 plus years old. Sadly physical, emotional and cognitive limitations start to develop. Bones become thinner and brittle. We may have heart problems. Our brain and nervous system may slow down. We could also see a change in our digestive system. Other geriatric specialists say the real Golden Years are between the ages of 40 and 60 years old. Most folks are physically fit (not yet experiencing any aches or pains) and settled into their lifestyles. They don't think about their sunset years. I feel the age bracket between 18 and 30 were my "Golden Years". That era consisted of a lot of fun and pleasure.

Last November 11 I was sitting at my table (that's where I do all of my writing) looking out the living room window daydreaming. I do that quite often. I was thinking it had been fifty years to that day I took my very first love to the Hamilton High School Football Championship at Ivor Wynn Stadium. It was traditional the championship game be played on Remembrance Day. Fifty years! Fifty fucking years. Absolutely astonishing and more so very hard to believe. That's half a century. On numerous occasions it's difficult to swallow that I'm in my 68'th year. However, it doesn't take long for me to re-enter reality because of all my annoying aches and pains that have visited my body as well as making a permanent residence in my anatomy. Never imagined this would ever happen.

Prior to having an appendectomy in May of 2011 my next traumatic adventure was January 5, 2022...yeah Happy New Year! I injured my back about twenty years ago (I worked a lot of physical jobs) and it came back to haunt me. My back had been bothering me all day so I was popping different pills to eliminate the pain.

At six p.m. I was laying on my bed watching T.V. I had to get up because nature was calling. I let out a loud scream of pain and quickly realized I couldn't stand up. The pain was unbearable and felt like I was paralyzed...extremely frightening. My E.A. phoned 911 and help was on the way...paramedics as well as the fire department arrived within a few moments. They rolled my body onto a backboard then placed me on a gurney and the ambulance transported me to the hospital. On my way to Juravinski a paramedic injected a shot of Hydromorphone into my arm to ease the pain.

As usual the emergency room was very busy. There were at least four ambulances with patients waiting to be seen...I thought lordy lordy Fordy was going to fix that problem. Typical politician. Talk the talk but many times doesn't walk the walk.

During my hospital visit I was given Hydromorphone two more times mixed with my I.V. I didn't see a doctor until 9:00 p.m. and blood work was done on me around 11:00 p.m. I was hoping for a CT scan but no such luck. Probably because I had previously mentioned I was diagnosed with a herniated disc in L4L5 years ago.

Throughout my stay I was stoned but the pain lingered. They discharged me at 1:30 a.m. and I was obviously still bombed. My E.A. drove us to an all-night drug store to purchase more medication prescribed by the emergency room doctor. When we arrived home I immediately went to bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out like a light.

My family doctor returned my call (which I placed on January 5) on January 7. He was a bit confused about my misadventure because of the lack of information from the hospital. Anyway, he made an M.R.I. appointment referral for me...I'm still waiting for that call. Great health care system eh but $1billion for the ridiculous L.R.T. My back pain has decreased but I still continue to suffer pain in the back of my thighs.

Epilogue

I should be more appreciative and grateful I can still walk, talk and act like a jerk at times. A few of my friends have passed away, a long-time buddy uses a walker to get around and another friend has had heart surgery. Almost everyone I know is on some sort of medication. If anyone knows where that Fountain of Youth is located PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
