I hear you Bill, I've seen a number of these idiots driving around our area flying Canada Flags with the message "Mandate Freedom" written on their vehicle windows. The last time I checked, we're still free to make our own decisions. I had to get vaccinated for my job to cross the US border to work for a US-based company here in Canada. But I also did this to keep myself and my family safe due to the amount of customers I come in close contact with.

This week alone, I have lunch and dinner meetings planned in Kingston, Kemptville, Ottawa and Hudson, QC. I wouldn't be able to do any of this if I wasn't double vaccinated.

When you have a choice of either you get vaccinated or you don't work.
That's called having no choice.
But they'll twist it to sound like you had one.
There 2 groups to be thankful to when you sit down to eat.

The farmer that grew it.
The truck driver that delivered it

Dave, Well regardless of how people feel about the cause the everyday citizens of Ottawa were completely fed with being held hostage for over 2 weeks. Last time I checked freedom is supposed to be in place for everyone.

Gee spoken from the prov.that mandates everything from stay at home, can't eat out, or do countless other regular things.
You call that Freedom 🤣🤣🤣

Yet when you asked a simple question you don't answer it.
What's with that Bill?

 

[ARC]

When someone dictates what you do... especially concerning pesonal rights to life and health etc,,,

You are quite simply under "dictatorship".

What is an example of dictatorship?

Nazi Germany under Hitler and the Soviet Union under Stalin are the leading examples of modern totalitarian dictatorships.

Good morning pirates. What a sad loss last night. We watched the game with my dad. He’s still proud of the job they did. Maybe next year.

 

[Blak bart]

I've been saying "maybe next year" about the Miami dolphins since 1983....im still waiting !!

 

[pepperj]

The mainstream media feeds you, one sided journalism coming out of 3 main feeds. They are controlled and bought off by the powers to be. So when the agency is buttering your bread do you kick them or KowTow?

Please don't confuse freedom and mandated freedom please.

This is how the mainstream crowd views it:

"A neighbourhood Facebook shoutout from the previous night called for the community to block vehicles from a so-called "blue collar convoy" from heading downtown."

That's how they are viewed "Low working class" those farmers and truck drivers.
But don't be a hypocrite and pretend to be thanking them-while bashing them too.
Just think about that one please.

The Bengals had a remarkable year and should be proud. Most feedback I’ve heard so far is that the fans feel the same. Of course you have those blaming the refs. We were cheering them on, they are my dad’s and most of my family’s team. Our team is Da Bears, so I feel your pain, Bart.

 

[WannaDig3687]

Mr WD has opted to cut a piece of corian to set the bookcase on. He should be home shortly and I will be getting pics to start a thread. Probably start it in the bottle forum.

 

[WannaDig3687]

Well that didn’t work. Better, but wobbly still. One more fix before he throws in the towel.

Still not great. I really have thrown my brain off. Still a lot of brain fog and anxiety. I think it makes it worse because my generalized anxiety disorder it scares me so I get stuck in a cycle of severe anxiety. Hasn't been pleasant

Well yesterday was a private Birthday gathering for a little 5yr old and his dad.
Closest friends that we have in our lives that would do anything to make another persons life easier.

More troubling was tending to one of their dogs that they picked up just before our arrival. It went missing the day before and was found in a snare trap.
She was in the trap less then 24 hrs. but her neck was so swollen, that she finally had a little drink after 8 hrs.
Not a little dog, but a full grown Great Pyrenees guard dog of the herd.
The owner had conversation with the land owner and he has trapped 16 coyotes since the New Year.

Very subdued dog, that is usually quite aggressive in nature. This morning we were told she's doing a bit better and there's a chance still of getting medical attention still.

Cold here today, clear. -18C feeling like -25C so it's warming up.

There's comes a time in life where one reaches a fork in the road-take it.
The Y is probably one of the scariest things a reflection has to do in life, because it's the most important decision it can make.
I hold the reflection accountable for everything, I light switch it-full on, full off. To dabble on either side isn't an option.

From what I have read your troubled over that events of an evening of to-kill-ya over indulgent activities.
So I can only suggest asking the reflection if it has enough.

Yes it's easy for me to write this, as I've sweated the tears, piss, and fears long ago, and the road of sobriety is the fork I choose in life.
Come this year I tick another notch in the imaginary mind, and go detecting on my anniversary date of the sobriety dates.
Each year I grow-I get more mature-still work to be done.
What I can say is my worse days now are still better than the best days I back then.

Hope you find some peace of mind today John-as each hour passes.

It doesn't feel as bad today. I was in straight up panic attack mode a few times yesterday and my watch kept warning me my bpm were at times up to 104 to 108. I felt so miserable yesterday. Still feeling mentally off today and my brain was being funky when I was trying to sleep last night so that wasn't fun either. I just made a huge dumb mistake and drank way too much. I only weigh 135 and drank half a bottle of tequila and like 3 shots of whiskey and never threw it up. I'm sure it took a tole on me. But in my anxiety mind it's always you did permanent damage or you're dying. Oh the joys of this f'd up disorder
