  1. I like it "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  2. My experience with Neptunes has been very positive. I haven't had an issue with either battery life or unexplained shut downs. I also own a Galaxy which I agree is a very solid piece of equipment, and a 30 year old Altimaster II which still works excellently!

  3. Congratulations!!! I've got a ways to go yet.... just over 200 donations for me. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

  5. I just got the call that my father's health has taken a turn for the worse and that the end is near. So I am headed to the other side of the country to see him and the rest of the family. We knew this was coming but I had hoped that he would last till after Christmas, the tickets are already purchased for my son and I to go then. Take care of yourselves people and remember to tell your family members that you love them. They won't be here forever. Nobody gets out of here alive.

  7. I'm off to give my 201 donation of plasma to today (in about 1 hour they'll stick me) so I want to let you know that it gets better as your veins get tougher. I only occasionally feel the needle go in anymore... lots of scar tissue. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  8. Xerox had the first commercial mouse implementation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_mouse I guess the MS innovation was 2 buttons. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  9. Correct. However, the incident this thread is about is about an emergency transfer for emergency treatment, really doens't have anything to do with socialized health care. Except for the little fact that the care should be available, like it is here, but IS NOT. Good system. Care is available in Canada, unfortunately not all hospitals are equal in terms of ability to care for all situations. Your post seems to indicate that in the USA all hospitals everywhere had the same level of doctors, the same level of capacity, and the same level of care no matter where they are located. I wish this was true in Canada but unfortunately we have a population less than that of California but with over 24 times the size. As such it is often the case that not all hospitals have same levels of expertise. Some how, even with this issue, Canada still has a lower infant mortality and a higher life expectancy than the USA. We must be doing something right. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  10. You sound so innocent, but somehow I don't believe you. I think that this is exactly what you were looking for. I believe that you were baiting people with this thread and knew that it was going to turn this way. Your history of posting supports my theory: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=all&search_string=skypapa&search_type=AND&search_fields=u&search_time=&search_user_username=&sb=post_time&mh=25 "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

  12. If you're asking when will Canada actually send them packing I figure the Canadian courts have done the right thing but the Canadian governement is still the same old infficient mess its always been. It will probably be another 6 years before they actually get deported, if the governement doesn't lose track of them in the meantime. Well it is not quite that bad. The next thing will be a letter from the refugee board telling them they are out of appeals; they will be asked to leave. After some time (either 14 or 28 days) they will become fugitives. Then they will hole up in a church for a while. Then they will leave. According to this article, he just got a work permit. One hand of our government doesn't know that the other is doing http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/story.html?id=abadbc05-bf9d-4be6-9158-3eea17096638 "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

  16. This is a good thing. I may not be for the continuation of the war but these guys signed up. Don't come to Canada to escape your commitments! http://www.macleans.ca/article.jsp?content=n111508A Supreme Court won't hear refugee appeals from two American army deserters November 15, 2007 - 10:08 THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The Supreme Court of Canada will not hear the appeals of two U.S. army deserters who sought refugee status. The court has refused to hear the cases of Jeremy Hinzman and Brandon Hughey, who deserted after learning they were to be deployed to Iraq. They fled to Canada and asked for refugee status, claiming they opposed the war in Iraq as illegal and immoral. The Immigration and Refugee Board rejected their claims in 2005 and both the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal refused to review the cases. As in usual in such cases, the high court gave no reasons for the decision. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

  21. Have you contacted the manufacturer and asked the the question? Surely they are the best authority on what certifications their gear has been granted. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  22. Who's given you your favorite prostate rub? To date - the Turtle has not received one. for Ian . . . see attached Thanks. I am glad you lived. I hadn't packed a round in 25 years and that one was a tangled mess, not attached to the container, when I got it. I was glad I hooked it up right and that the lines were clear. I was sure the lines were clear before you jumped it but there was a chance I could have hooked it up front to back. So it was good news when I heard the jump went well and you came down facing the right way LOL "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  23. The digital information of the image is stored in this very laptop. Have you posted the picture and if so, where can I see it? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  24. Where is the picture of your water landing at Lost Prairie under the Pap? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  25. Right now its exciting but when the shuttle retires and before the new vehicle (capsule thing) is running, what are they going to do? I heard on CCN's coverage of the landing yesterday that there could be a 3 year time frame where the US will not have a means to get people/stuff up there. Will NASA be looking for a ride from the Russians? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
