He collected cars and engines and just LOVED the Canadian Rockies. He'd taken the train many times from Toronto to Terrace and never tired of it. It was always an adventure for him that if you'd let him he'd give you every detail of it. Which would probably take longer than the train ride itself. So it only seemed fitting for my Dad and I to take one last ride together HOME. Here are some of the pics from that..... We all Love you and miss you sooooooo Much. Thinking of you Mr Canada!! xox</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i161.photobucket.com/remix/player.swf?videoURL=http%3A%2F%2Fvid161.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ft226%2Fsharijoy%2F6c030989.pbr&hostname=stream161.photobucket.com"></embed><br /></p><br /><br /><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54485/133/64B08047843806BD01A8EFE5F99876DA.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;" />Sharijoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01556053395793393380noreply@blogger.com29tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22704394.post-60085456487698076092009-07-22T23:09:00.002-07:002009-07-22T23:20:28.734-07:00I'm not ready yet!!I really feel like I wanna sit down and start blogging again... Not that I have any spare time to do so hence the 11 pm post. But I am just not ready to do a post about my Dad..... for those who may not know my Dad passed away June 4 2009. I am not able to put in words the man he was, what he meant or how deeply he will be missed by me. I feel like I should be spilling my heart out, but I am not allowing myself too. Part of me also feels like I can't post any posts till I do a Dad post. How can I tell you funny stories about day to day stuff when I haven't been able to let go of that feeling in the bottom of my gut about my Dad yet. Maybe I will feel different about posting in the next lil bit......for now I'm taking one day at a time. <br /><br /><br /><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54485/133/64B08047843806BD01A8EFE5F99876DA.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;" />Sharijoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01556053395793393380noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22704394.post-19928096827954736602009-06-04T08:02:00.003-07:002009-06-04T08:17:13.923-07:00Moved onto Comfort Care.I'm sad to report that my fathers health is deteriorating and that he was put onto comfort care yesterday. The doctors said that he would just continue to have reoccurring episodes and that there was nothing they could do for him to have any kind of quality life. That the best thing for him was to make him comfortable for the last days of his life......just continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers. <br /><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54485/133/64B08047843806BD01A8EFE5F99876DA.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;" />Sharijoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01556053395793393380noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22704394.post-48650008582303038042009-05-31T22:50:00.002-07:002009-05-31T22:56:03.743-07:00Reno Pics<p> Decided to rename my tab to more renos figured everyone would think it was an under construction web page not an actual web page. Any way loaded some of my living room pictures still have to find the others guess thats what happens when you have too many computers to load to. </p><p>I have to add that writing in my reno blog is helping me feel a lil more like me!! Probably boring for anyone who still comes here but its making me feel a lil more like the Old Shari!!<br /></p><p>And if you like the reno blog than please link it!!</p><p>Thanks and good nite all!</p><br /><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54485/133/64B08047843806BD01A8EFE5F99876DA.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;" />Sharijoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01556053395793393380noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22704394.post-11735455030934466152009-05-31T20:42:00.003-07:002009-05-31T21:10:45.041-07:00So Far so good!!My Dad pulled through the surgery very well and is now recuperating. He didn't loose very much blood and seems to be adjusting pretty well. The pain drugs have continued to make him more confused than normal. I talked to him briefly today and he basically sounded like a Dodo bird. The nurse said he was smiling up a storm but he couldn't really talk. he rehab starts in the next day or two. Hoping that gos well. Soon we leave for Parkers operation in Vancouver, hoping to get our passports renewed while we are there. Still have many things to look into before we decided to go down. I just got rid of a cold sore and now I'm starting to get another one. I normally get one every once in awhile during season change.... or when I'm really stressed and run down.......can you tell which one it is this time??? Anyway please keep Dad in your thoughts and prayers..........xoxox <br /><br /><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54485/133/64B08047843806BD01A8EFE5F99876DA.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;" />Sharijoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01556053395793393380noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22704394.post-88636585110467069942009-05-29T16:35:00.001-07:002009-05-29T16:47:21.929-07:00On my mind!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KLWqsFBYs7Y/SiBxzLsrcKI/AAAAAAAABp0/bA3egREkmfQ/s1600-h/IMGP1432.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KLWqsFBYs7Y/SiBxzLsrcKI/AAAAAAAABp0/bA3egREkmfQ/s400/IMGP1432.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341394282188861602" /></a><br /><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KLWqsFBYs7Y/SiBxyiDyGXI/AAAAAAAABps/nnhWe_J1EpY/s1600-h/IMGP1426.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KLWqsFBYs7Y/SiBxyiDyGXI/AAAAAAAABps/nnhWe_J1EpY/s400/IMGP1426.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341394271011477874" /></a></p><p>On my mind...... keep my dad in your thoughts and prayers he is going into surgery first thing tomorrow morning, he fell yesterday at the nursing home and fractured his hip. My heart sank when I heard this, my mom passed away from a blood clot from the same procedure. Trying to figure out how fast I can renew my passport, how much last minute flights are and if there is availability, did talk to my friend Denise and she has kindly offered me a place to stay. The next few days will determine EVERYTHING!!!! I LOVE YOU DAD!!! as you said there is no where in heaven or earth that could ever take us from each other.... we are and will always be connected.xox. <br /></p><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54485/133/64B08047843806BD01A8EFE5F99876DA.png" style="border: none;

Thats how I have been feeling. But I just got off the phone with my father..... who was taken from the nursing home to the hospital the other day. He is about 80% back to himself. He has some sort of infection that is causing most of his confusion. What a relief to hear him more like himself!!! Now I just have to get a hold of a doctor and find out all the details from him. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. thanks.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54485/133/64B08047843806BD01A8EFE5F99876DA.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;" />Sharijoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01556053395793393380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22704394.post-12921908711383210472009-05-17T12:49:00.003-07:002009-05-31T23:52:59.284-07:00My Dad... My Hero!<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Yesterday</span> was my dads 85 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span></span> birthday!! Can you believe that.... imagine what he has seen in his life time what he has lived through! I still haven't been able to get too many answers as what is going on with my dad, it being a week end and all. I have talked to him a couple of times and he knows who I am and stuff but he does seems quite confused. I need to talk to his doctor and find out if his <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">meds</span></span> are right or if there is something new in the mix that could be causing the confusion. I want to try and get him closer to his old surroundings and closer to where his girlfriend lives. I am really hoping there will be an open bed for him in Quincy. So much has happened but hasn't if that makes any sense. I thank God for Joanie his girlfriend, she has been taking care of everything. I was a bit hurt initially that she was doing everything and felt like she was taking over and making decisions too fast. But now I can see that she has been making the right ones. I'm not sure when I'll be able to make it there..... I want to go but don't want to go now and have to go back again . I'll have to wait and talk to everyone first and find out exactly what is happening and what needs to be done and by when before I go. Plus I have <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Parkers</span></span> operation coming up soon. Sorry just not in the mood to write anymore..... too much on my mind. And not sure how to express it. <br /><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54485/133/64B08047843806BD01A8EFE5F99876DA.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;" />Sharijoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01556053395793393380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22704394.post-92224328002300152182009-05-14T21:33:00.001-07:002009-05-14T21:50:34.062-07:00Having a rough day!!I came home from work today to terrible news...... my dad has been put into a nursing home.I still don't know all the details yet as there is a three hour time difference and it was almost 10 pm there time when I got home. My dads Bday is on the 16 of May he'll be 85..... Its just sooooo hard being here and him soooo far away. I am heart broken for him. No one wants to loose their independence. I don't know where he is, or what the facility is like? Are there secured grounds for him to get out, how do I go about getting his stuff to him and making sure all his things are taken care of? what about his finances and medical care? will he have access to his own money? Whos gonna buy him his personal care products? I just wanna fly down there and bring him home!!!!! I am just sooooo upset and well, I just need sometime to have it sink in and do whats best for him the best way I can from here.... if it can' t be done from here ....well I'll cross that bridge soon enough....

I know how I hate it!! But won't be making any promises of writing anytime soon.... actually I'll be on a blog holiday for awhile. I'm super overwhelmed and have far to much to accomplish it feels like the only time I have to blog is late at night... and truth be told if I didn't have banana bread still baking in the oven I would of hit the hay a long time ago.... or some mornings before I have to go to work and at 5am I'm not feeling to inspired to write. Part of me soooo misses my blogging time. It was a nice escape and something just for me. But it will have to wait for a less hectic time in my life. I will miss all of you and I will try to peek in everyonce and a bit to catch up. I'll be back just not too sure when..... most likely once our kitchen reno is complete or close to complete. I'll keep track and take pictures and eventually post them maybe with out WORDS... but for now I need to start attacking our ever growing to get'r done list!! <br /><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54485/133/64B08047843806BD01A8EFE5F99876DA.png" style="border: none; background: transparent;" />Sharijoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01556053395793393380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22704394.post-8172581114031207982008-09-11T06:14:00.002-07:002008-09-11T06:20:22.662-07:00The Great Alibi<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KLWqsFBYs7Y/SMkaq0K-WaI/AAAAAAAABjI/5UGrW-ADkWc/s1600-h/alibi+sept4+03.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KLWqsFBYs7Y/SMkaq0K-WaI/AAAAAAAABjI/5UGrW-ADkWc/s400/alibi+sept4+03.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244752563911154082" /></a><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">So much has happened in the last lil while and I’ve had zero time to blog… or do anything else I really want to do. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The most devastating thing is our Family dog Alibi is no longer with us. He passed away a couple of weeks ago. It was not a pleasant experience. As you all know we live in a Very, Very small town and our local vet passed away awhile ago so there is currently only two vets between the T*errace </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">and K*itimat area. Friday, Doug left around 6 in the morning for his </span></span><st1:personname><span style=" Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">ann</span></span></st1:personname><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">ual ATV trip with the boys he was returning home on the Sunday afternoon. I took the kids out in the morning for most of the day. Alibi was an old dog he didn’t quite seem himself but he has a hard time when Doug or any of us go away from home for a trip. Anyway I got home late afternoon and when I walked in the house I knew right away that Alibi was shutting down he just laid there and didn’t want to move it was very heart breaking. I carried him outside and he was limp in my arms, he went pee but I had to hold him. He didn’t even want to stand on his own. When I went in the house I was quite upset I phoned Dougs parents cuz I really thought Alibi should be put down but this was Dougs first true ‘BABY” he had Alibi for 14 some years and it wasn’t really my place to make that kind of a decision with out him. But for the welfare of Alibi…. I was torn!! His parents told me that if a Vet saw him and said he was indeed shutting down and it would be in Alibis best interest to be euthanized than it wasn’t really my call it was the vets. So I phoned and was basically met with a “We’re swamped and your only option is to drive the 4 hours either direction to seek assistance in a different town.” She said I could try the other vet and so I did try…. I missed his office closing by 10 mins. But the receptionist told me she would try to get a hold of him and call me back. I couldn’t believe this!! It takes 10 mins to look at an animal and then euthanize him….. They don’t ask your circumstances like “are you able to drive 4 hours?” or how about take in to consideration that I have 2 children under 3 and I’m by myself with a 60 pound sick animal. Plus I had to work the next day!!! </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">And I wasn’t even sure if another vet in another town would of even seen me on a weekend, cuz these vets didn’t want to. I was able to get Pen to come and take my kids for the weekend, she was going to be watching them while I went to work anyway, only she was suppose to stay the first nite at my house. I thought I can’t do that to her or my kids. She just lost her dog Quad a lil while ago and I don’t want her to have to wake up with my children and have to deal with a deceased dog. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I waited up to about 10 or so and no phone call back from the vet!!! I really thought Alibi was gonna pass by the morning. It was the worst sleep I ever had. He’d pant and I’d want to pet him, then he’d be quiet and I’d think he was gone….. I put soooooooo many miles on my stairs that nite. Before my last trip to bed I told him how much we all loved him and that he could let go any time…… then I said the Lords prayer and the Now I lay me down to sleep prayer. I shed a few tears….well more than a few.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The next morning I got up earlier to help him out and sit with him before I had to leave for work.</span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I was soooooooo surprised to see he made it through the nite. He wouldn’t go pee but he did drink and he was looking around a bit….. he’d pant and I’d tell him “daddie” was coming home soon and he’d stop and settle down and drift off for a sleep. Leaving to go to work was probably one of the hardest things I ever had to do!!! I wish that $ was not a factor of life… It was sooooo hard to stay focused at work. My girlfriend T came in 4 hours early for me so I could go home.</span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">It was hard being at home and I it was hard being away from home. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I tried the Vet again and basically I would never and I mean NEVER give Dr.Sager my business. His emergency line is useless.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I explained that Doug was on his way home …. He was out of reach currently by cell phone but that he’d be home and could we meet him at his office to have Alibi put down. I explained that I had called his office on Friday but it was too late in the afternoon and the receptionist told me to go out of town. I explained the signs and symptoms that Alibi was displaying and that I thought he was shutting down.</span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Hes response to me was” it simply amazes me that people will not drive the four hours to get care for their animal but they will sit and watch them deteriorate in front of them”</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I was soooooooooo mad but I had to bite my tongue because at this point Alibi was still alive and needed assistance. Then he went on to say that “I get all kinds of calls on this emergency number from people asking me to sew up their kids arm to asking me about ticks!” I said this is a lil more serious than ticks….. then I asked again about bringing our dog out and he said “ no you’ve waited and watched him worsen the soonest I can see him is tomorrow morning in the office at </span></span><st1:time minute="0" hour="8"><span style=" Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">8am</span></span></st1:time><span style=" Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">.” Hung up and I thought you ASSHOLE!!!

Plus I was already feeling guilty for the circumstances that were at hand.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I knew in my heart that Alibi was just waiting for his dad to get home….. and sure enough Doug came home and Alibi lifted his head and sensed him there and with in 15-20 mins Alibi had passed away in Dougs arms. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">There was relief that he wasn’t suffering anymore but there was also such a feeling of loss!!!</span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I came home and we said our goodbyes wrapped him up in a blanket and then some plastic Doug went to put him in the garage for the rest of the night to keep him cool, he placed him on the ATV and I said “one last ride buddy” then Doug opened the door to the convertible and I lost it…… “How fitting to spend his last nite in the front seat….. he’d really like that Doug” That’s how I remember meeting Doug and Alibi he’d be cruising around in the car with the top down and Alibi would be in the front seat wearing his shades!! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">We still had to go and pick up the kids and let them know.

That he was up in heaven with the Angels. She asked me if he was still sick I told her no he wasn’t sick anymore now hes all better and watching over you from heaven. </span><span style="mso-spacerun:yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">She asked if Alibi could be in her heart and I said yes hes in your heart just like Quad is. She then said I’m glad hes not sick anymore and that hes all better. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Tears rolled down my face as I drove home.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I was home before Doug and what an empty feeling it was walking into the quiet of the house with no Alibi laying by the front door. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I still come home and expect to be greeted by him laying there.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Alibi was always my shadow in the house he’d follow me from room to room. He wasn’t a dog that ever barked but I tell you when I was pregnant he was very protective of me. He’d hear a knock and bark…… but after I had my kids he went back to not barking. It was pure animal instinct. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="Comic Sans MS"font-family:";"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I still think of him ever nite before bed, it was my before bed ritual to make sure he was in the house and had food and water before I’d turn in.

Parker would go to Alibi for quality snuggles.

Lil man had his check up today and the doctor said he was doing really well he was above average on the growth chart and all this even thou I thought he was kinda petite. Doc undoes his diaper and starts routing around down there and says "I only feel one sack" I say " you are the first doctor to tell me that" then he says have you ever noticed a change there?"<br />I say " <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">uhhh</span> I just clean it... I don't know anything about them there parts!!"<br />Doctor gets PT to stand up to see if he can feel it any where and he can't.

If you wait too long he'll be infertile.<br />So I don't get it..... did he have both sacks before? and one decided to go north? <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Cuz</span> I swear when he had Jumbo balls there was two.

I still have the upstairs trim work and doors to paint as well as a niche that I want to build a desk into but that wall connects to my stairway which connects to the living room WHICH means you just gotta GET 'ER DONE!! so while Mr <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Hunny</span> was at work on a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">nite</span> shift I ripped out all of the carpet down the stairs, got rid of the underlay, carpet tacks, staples etc.... and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">mudded</span> the wall for paint prep.....still have to re mud some spots. We are going to tile the risers of the stairs and carpet the fronts. Penny gave me new carpet that she ripped out of her place so we'll use that.<br />But as you know when you take something apart you <strong>always find someone <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">elses</span> mistakes!!!</strong> Five of my steps don't have the bull nose on them so we have to add to it. as well as they didn't screw the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">gyproc</span> to the wall in some places and the risers backs aren't solid and secure. as well was we have a few <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">squeaky</span> stairs to fix!! BUT at least my BURNT ORANGE CARPET IS GONE!!!! I will try and post pics I'm <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">sooooooo</span> busy doing I just haven't been on the computer in FOREVER!!!

I am currently out of foil and it is on my to buy list! Someone sent me this email and I'm really hoping its true!!!!!<br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">sj</span><br />and if it is true why didn't anyone ever share this important <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">piece</span> of info before???<br /><br /><br />Aluminum Foil A real tip! <br /> I've been using aluminum foil for more years than I care to remember. Great stuff, but sometimes it can be a pain. You know, like when you are in the middle of doing something and you try to pull some foil out and the roll comes out of the box. Then you have to put the roll back in the box and start over. The roll always comes out at the wrong time. <br /> Well, I would like to share this with you. Yesterday I went to throw out an empty Reynolds foil box and for some reason I turned it and looked at the end of the box. And written on the end it said, 'Press here to lock end'. Right there on the end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place. How long has this little locking tab been there? I then looked at a generic brand of aluminum foil and it had one, too. I then looked at a box of Saran wrap and it had one too! I can't count the number of times the Saran wrap roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover something up. <br /><br /> I'm sharing this with my friends that did not know this.<br /><br /><br /><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54485/133/64B08047843806BD01A8EFE5F99876DA.png" />Sharijoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01556053395793393380noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22704394.post-11659090515940867772008-05-23T12:13:00.003-07:002008-05-23T12:19:36.886-07:00Please sign and pass it along!!I was emailed this the other day and I think we should all rally and get this petition out there so as many people can sign it as possible.<br /><a href="http://www.petitiononline.com/bcschool/petition.html">SAVE OUR SCHOOLS</a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://members.shaw.ca/stopbcschoolclosures/">Stop School Closures</a> Some material to read!!!<br /><br />This is important...please pass it along.<br /><br /><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54485/133/64B08047843806BD01A8EFE5F99876DA.png" />Sharijoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01556053395793393380noreply@blogger.com0
