'I robot' describes your attitude to a "T". You, Mooch and several others have been singing the same fairytale tune for the last year...get over yourselves!
Your truculence just makes you all look more childish every time you spew this tripe!

Now that's the way to spend New Years Eve!
Good food, good friends, mellow and smooth transition into the next year...

Beats amateur night at the bars any day!

Oh, and before anybody pounces on the fact that I left Canada for Texas... it had nothing to do with the Health-care industry and everything to do with climate!

Today's Temp in Winnipeg, Mb : -8F, San Antonio, TX: 60F!

'nuff said! ☺

Just as a matter of interest, I work in Home Health care in Texas and so many misinformed Texans tell me that the "Obama Health Plan" will cost me my job because it will reduce Medicare spending.
Personally I'm not worried. As long as the agency I work for follows Medicare Guidelines we are in no danger... it's the Agencies, both Home Health and Durable Medical Equipment companies, who commit fraud that are more likely to suffer... as they should!
As mentioned many of the Health care positions mentioned above tend to be lower paying, but those of us who are licensed whether as RN's, LVN's or CNA's as well as P.A's and MA's, Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapists are paid a living wage.
Although it has taken me almost 20 years to regain the salary level that I was receiving as an RN in Canada!

I also know many who work in the Restaurant industry who make good money IF they work in an upscale eatery.

I do find it interesting that most of the jobs on this list are in service industries.

When I heard the reason WHY we have no Administrator for the TSA I had to swallow my bile!
What idiot gave Senator Demented the ability to block this nomination due to his intransigent stupidity?

Sorry you had all the glitches but glad to see you all made it through safe and sound...
(climbing ladders with ice,snow etc is never a safe place to be in my book!)

Seems like the grand kids enjoyed themselves in spite of everything, and isn't that really the best one can hope for in such a busy time?

Very powerful imagery!
Until the mention of 'Fat boy', this could have been any city during any unsettled segment of modern history... well done!

"I’m kinda tired myself."
(ya think?)

Merry Christmas to you and 'the boys', Mike.
Thank you for sharing them and your misadventures with us. You are a wonderful Dog keeper.

Is it any wonder that people from other countries view the US as being a very violent society?
As if the majority of our TV dramas didn't do enough to convey that message.

Ouch, it never occurred to me, but I could just see one of my patients drawing the same conclusion...

Thought you might like to know that there was a trivia question on "The Splendid Table" today about your Christmas pickle...

Only in Canada, eh?

Heck, Jim this is in a country where the closest thing to porn available when I was young was the 'R' rated version of Alice in Wonderland and the more commonly known American porn films were contraband. Guys had to smuggle them over the border!

Thank you for sharing this story with us, Jim.
I wonder, if every city had some type of memorial service for their homeless dead wouldn't there be more people willing to donate time and money to help the homeless? Or at least not continue to turn blind eyes upon them...

I have an acquaintance who lived in her car for almost a full year, now she owns her own home (well, she and the bank). The tipping point was when another friend of mine gave her a job.
