  1. for 62 years, i was like many on here. i was a very firm non believer in god. something happened in 2000. a question was posed to me. first i was shown that at least three times in my life, near tragedies faced me. one was when my mother, who had several heat attacks in her life was rushed to the hospital with a severe one. another time, i was in the navy, sailing on the hmcs fraser. a report came over the radio that a sailor on the hmcs stettler had fallen overboard and drowned. there were over 300 sailors on board, including my brother. i thought i’ld pass out. blindly i bounced off bulkheads trying to get on deck to get some air. then when i was 31, they did emergency surgery on me trying to safe my life. i had a tumor in my large intestine. my intestines broke open and poison spread through my body. my family was told, all they could do was pray. the question i was asked was, in all three occasions, why did i pray to god for help, if i didn’t believe in him? good question. for these next 20 years, i’ve been on a wonderous journey. go ahead, rip me a new one. believe it or not, this is a true story of my life.
  2. i know mr. futz is planning to do an official update, so we will know the order. we do not wish people death but it is guessing game of people either by age, health or a gut feeling might pass on each year. i thank mr futz for starting it and giving up hockey cards as prizes. it has always fascinated me how some people live to be over 100 and some die much earlier in life.

      Was thinking the same thing, @Dekey Pete     Some of this stuff might stick post covid...it's not all bad.  Forcing us to do some things differently is creating new ideas.

      According to my Brother in Law, they had about 30. 

       

      Interesting they made queue lines via police tape so kids could social distance. 

      I've seen some homes they put a tube at one upper window. And they slid candy down to the kids. 

      Great idea!

  16. history says that unless our ancestors were born here that initially they came from somewhere else. it’s our history going back. if it wasn’t for my european ancestor coming to canada to trap animals for their pelts and marrying native women, us metis wouldn’t exist. i enjoy knowing who my ancestors are and where they came from.
