Wow...is the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics really over?? :(

It all seems so surreal to now. No more parties, no more world... *sigh*

I have to admit that I was not a fan of the Olympics because of the money spent on it with all the cutbacks to our health and education, but decided to suck it up once the games started.

I got some negative feedback on how I was against and now I'm for the Olympics. I was never FOR the olympics, but thought why whine & snot n bawl about it. They were here and there was nothing I could do to change it so why sit and mope around about it.

So why can't I cheer on my country and enjoy all the wonderful memories? Well it's what I did.

And I got alot of crap from it but meh whatevs. It is what it is. I can't change how people respond and react.

Anyways............

I am so very proud of our Canadian Athletes and ALL of their accomplishments. I even went to high school with a girl from the Women's Snowboarding Team! Was awesome to cheer her on!

Ok so we may have not OWNED the PODIUM in a total medal count, our big brothers/sisters in the US did that.

What a mighty fine job our Canadian Athletes did..... BUT...... We broke a record with most GOLD Medals in a Winter Olympics. My theory is that Canada PWND the GOLDium!! 14 GOLD medals baby!! WOOOOOO!!

Congrats to our Canadian Athletes on a job well done and thank you Vancouver for again

showing the world what a classy city we are.

With Expo '86 putting a hit out & NOW The 2010 Winter Olympics have definately put

Welcome to Vancouver on the Map!

Ok so now about how exciting that Gold Medal Hockey Game Was!!

Wow... I was so excited and had butterflies in my stomach plus the fact I felt like I was going to hurl and when the US's Zack Parise scored on Luongold with 24 seconds left in the 3rd period I was beside myself.

My heart felt like it was going to stop and jump right out of my mouth!! I almost cried!! I was on the edge of my seat and my sons and I were screaming at the TV GO CANADA GO!! And I swear I almost fainted when Crosby scored our GOLDEN goal!

It was such a great game played by both TeamUSA & TeamCanada!! :towel:

Ok so now that the Olympics over time to get back into action with our Canucks!! I'm so excited for Tuesday to get back into our Canucks routine.

So word out is that Raycroft starts in net against the Columbus Blue Jackets? Well bring it on, we will see you on Tuesday Columbus!!

Agreed, very sad to see the Olympics go.

FTR, Health Care spending has doubled in the last 8 years and is going up another 20 million this year. People always talk about health care 'cuts', not reality though.

Regardless, great games today was very depressing.

Uhm, Sorry not trying to be rude or pick a fight, but they do exist...I have a special needs son in which I can't get any medical help / proper diagnosis unless I "PAY" for them out of pocket which is BS to me... I've been dealing with this BS for 3 years on our "free health care" so yeah...health cuts do exist in my reality..... just sayin....

Health care spending has really increased in the last 8 years, the problem? Health care need has more than doubled. People confuse 'cuts' with increasing need. 'Cuts' have not happened, but with baby boomers and more people coming to our province, and increased cost of necessary resources (meds, instruments, research funding) our need has really increased. This is not a commonly known fact, but of every dollar we send to the government, 50 cents goes to health care. In other words, half our taxes fund our health care.

BTW - I'm a volunteer for the Special Olympics, and am planning on becoming a swim coach for Special Olympics BC this summer (I currently coach a swim team which consists of able-bodied individuals). Just a random tidbit. Love working with Special Needs individuals.

Cheers.
