    Just some interesting but totally useless info

    Have you ever wondered what exactly would likely be the cause of your death were you killed, rather than expiring of natural causes? Well wonder no more. Check out the results of a study on that very subject so you know where the dangers lie, and what to avoid. What kills the most humans...

    Had a "discussion" with Police on Canada day

    We went into town and attended the Canada Day festivities at the local museum--Miss Linda is on the Board of Directors and was kinda expected to attend. Had a great time looking at all the "old" exhibits (the area is less than 150 years old) and watching the dancing put on by the Indians. This...

    Happy Canada Day

    For all you Canucks out there, Happy Canada Day. Not a fan of the Woke "Cancel Canada Day" crowd, so I'm taking Miss Linda and our grandson, Orion, out in about an hour to take in some of the festivities. Tonight, hopefully, we'll watch a fireworks display. Gary

    Well this is NOT good

    It is so dry here that we've got about 80 out of controlled fires here in Alberta. They've evacuated over 13000 people, mainly small towns and rural residences--including Drayton Valley. We have grass and forest fires, and mandatory evacuations on all 4 sides of us here on our 10 acres of...

    Beef Plate???

    Anybody have any experience cooking a beef plate. I found one in the freezer--no idea where it came from. I also have no idea what to do with it--sure doesn't look like a great cut of meat. Looks more like potential hamburger. Suggestions would really be appreciated. Gary

    One of my best friends is gone

    Wednesday turned out to be the saddest day in years for our household. At about 3AM my old hound Roxy, who sleeps by our bed, woke us up with her panting. Not that unusual since, at 14 and a bit years old, a Black Lab usually has to go out and pee during the night. So I got up, spoke to her...

    Strange pictures

    So is it just on my computer, or do the carousel pics of Justin's bison steak and David's Pineapple upside down cake look just a tad off??? The bison steak is barely in the pic and we have half an empty plate and less than half a plate of cake being displayed. Just asking. Gary

    It's almost Christmas

    Well it's about 11:20 PM on Christmas Eve, and I'm going to bed. I figure my almost 5 year old grandson, Orion, will be up way before the crack of dawn. Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas from Miss Linda and me. Hope you're all gathered with those you love, and in contact with...

    Need a smile

    Confucius Say: OK to let a fool kiss you, but not OK to let a kiss fool you. Kiss is merely shopping upstairs for real merchandise downstairs. Better to lose a lover than love a loser. Man with broken condom often called Daddy. Drunken man's words often sober man's thoughts. Viagra just...

    Another member gone

    David Dunlap, @dwdunlap , a member since 2016, passed away in Dallas TX on Nov 29, 2022. He struggled for the last 20 years with Congestive Heart Failure, but outlived all medical expectations. He was my friend. David had been inactive on SMF since Jan 2022 due to his illness. Any prayers...

    Lot of gall

    As a lot of you know, I was born and raised in the Saskatchewan prairies. Out there, about the only flower that's guaranteed to grow and thrive in most any type of weather, from the snows of real early Spring til Winter freezes, is the humble Petunia. So, naturally, that's what I grow in 3 of...

    Gonna skip Spring next year

    April and May have been "not so good" this year. :emoji_tired_face: Check this list out and tell me if you think I should skip Spring next year: --had to have a finger amputated about 3/4 inch away from my hand due to my carelessness with a skill saw --our kitchen stove died, so I bought...

    Food for thought

    Since I'm older than dirt, I can really relate to this one--it's what I grew up with. And it's soooooo true. Too bad it's not required watching. Gary
