sports net is trolling us 

It's hard to say Olli. I watched my uncle drink himself to death and he started out a very good man, but by the end a total prick.

It's possible, but reading about his family (particularly his dad) it sounds like he was raised to be an overly-indulged, entitled asshole. I think part of the reason he bounced around so much (aside from his play) is how tough it is to deal with him.

no wonder Chris Gears was seeking for full autonomy from Benning in drafting... he must have been miserable there

Should have kept Linden and Nuked Benning.

Feel free to share.

What’s a babushka???

I’m a Ukrainian that loves a good borscht. I use pork chops for my broth. And only do garden carrots and beets and white beans with dill. It’s a clear slightly vinegar type. Sometimes I’ll fry some cabbage and add it in the bowl separately. There are seriously probably 50 variations of this soup, depending on the region it originated and they’re all good. 

@Shekky - yep.  Chandler and Ross were my favourites.  I wasn't a huge Friends fan (greatly preferred Seinfeld) but I still found the show mildly amusing.

@Jeremy Hronek I really enjoyed both shows.

Never watched one episode. But he seemed to be a cool guy. But to hear he was struggling with addictions. He said he didn't even remember 3 years of doing the show that's how bad it was.

Just goes to show, you never know what secret wars people are fighting.

Hi Joe, thanks for always checking in on me. You're such a lovely man and your wife was lucky to have you (like my mom was with Dad). It's not easy caring for someone who's had a stroke and you have my great respect for devoting  yourself to her as you did. I don't live with Dad (yet), but I see him most days and check in every day (probably too much for his liking). I've backed off a bit to give him some space and independence. He'll be moving in with me (I have a suite in the basement)...likely within the next year or so. He loves his garden and his neighbours so I want to make sure it's the right move at the right time.

When I was in the hospital I was told that its often as hard on a patient's loved ones as the patient itself.  They weren't wrong.  Make sure you have time for yourself '-dlc-' (however you manage to squeeze it in).

Hi -dlc-, im 28 and I found out that my Dad had cancer just 2 weeks ago and that it has spread to some areas.  I watch the Canucks with my Dad quite often.  I hope everything goes well.  Just trying to stay positive.      

I guess we'd have to put Blueger on LTIR to make this happen?

I'd be all for picking him up. The way Deslauriers acted was annoying. We need a deterrent type player around. 

feels like the first time... the very first time ha ha. The flow is back. And a JT FU to all the trade him folks

I just want Brock healthy and happy. He's a solid dude, it's about time pucks started going in for him.

They sure showed up for your birthday! 

We'll know soon, Joe...fingers crossed. Devastating after all these years to even think about the possibility that his cancer could be back. Took him for a biopsy Wednesday. I'm trying not to go there...one day at a time.

my prayers are for him and you. good luck to you both. i know how precious parents can be. i never knew my father, but always wanted that closeness.

i actually met my father for 15 minutes when i was 16 yrs old. i wanted to hug him, but he didn't seem interested. i was a stranger to him. i used to wish, that if he knew me longer, he would have hugged me and told me he loved me.

cherish your dad always. i know you do.

Are they allowed to hunt in Richmond? That's the odd thing about firearms, I don't mind going to a range but I don't like hunting. Fishing is ok, because I just assume I won't catch anything. Lol.

By permit (only) in certain privately owned land I believe...unless that's changed.

Thing is, I do understand that, especially regarding geese, it's an important part of keeping things under control as the numbers climb. But every time I hear a gunshot I get sad.

Dad took me hunting once when I was young....lol. Failed experiment. I ran out and scared the ducks away (and am lucky I didn't get shot by accident!). My Dad and brother have both hunted since they were old enough to hold a shotgun...so there's no changing that/them. Although Dad has softened and doesn't "enjoy" it like he used to. He's an animal lover so he's in conflict now.

I haven't even gone to the range in over a year. I'm even considering getting rid of my .22 LR lever because I never use it. Yeah the ammo is affordable. But I'd rather have a bike or a motorcycle to be honest.

Sorry - I'll say hello next time!

you should try the new deodorant called nothing. next time you go and want to make an impression, wear nothing.

Cow bell on your deck? 

yes, play the long shot in the 4th.

I was just thinking about Joe too! Might have to message him to help him get over!

Yeah we need Joe's sage advice.

I sent him a pm. I'll email him too.
