Milesbferry: Preventative medicine.

Phart, my colon was only clean until I started filling it again, a process that started about three minutes after I got home! It’s not designed to stay clean.

Oh you Canadians! Always looking for attention. 😘

There’s a gallon of it to drink. Half the first day and half the morning of the next day and then you go for your inspection. No food from breakfast on the first day until after lunch when you get home from the hospital. I was starving.

My biggest problem was that I had pizza in my fridge that I couldn’t eat! I also couldn’t have coffee in the morning which really sucked.

Did you know that Ted Cruz was born in Calgary Alberta Canada? It’s true. When he was born I also lived in Calgary.

I had a colonoscopy on Tuesday and all was well. It was a follow up from one I had five years ago.
The slogan four prostate cancer advertising is “Don’t die of embarrassment”. It’s not the exam that sucks so much it’s the preparation of the 24 hours before hand that sucks! As everybody’s Grandma used to say “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.
If your doctor tells you to do it then do it. It’s a worthwhile thing.

True dat. The king of all scumbags. I took a lot of pleasure in pushing his buttons on the Trump page. It was so easy to do.

He never did send me any gifts though.

No. I’m pissed off!

An angel asked God what he was doing. "Making Canadians" he said.

"Ah, they're so nice" said the angel.

"Oh yeah, watch this" God said as he dropped a hockey puck.

Thankfully my walk to work is only two minutes and I have all the warm winter wear I need.

Vehicles have block heaters and they get plugged in when they’re parked.

Ouch!! Where I live, this morning the temperature was -40* but the windchill was-53C which is -63F!
Now it’s “only” -28C (-18F) but the windchill is-40.
It’s a nice day to work in the kitchen. 😀

A man goes into a grocery store and buys an apple, a banana and two eggs. The female cashier says "you must be single".

The man answers "Wow, how did you know that?"

Cashier: "Because you're ugly".

admin, had you changed it to GMT you'd be dealing with the same questions.

I bet you caused shit when you were younger dgraff!!

dgraff, in Canada they tax the shit out of alcohol and tobacco. These are known as "sin taxes". The reasoning is that people who use these products are a bigger strain on on the justice and medical services that we all pay for.
If you do something stupid while drunk (drive, assault someone or end up in jail etc) you put a bigger strain on the justice system. If you smoke, you will put a bigger strain on the healthcare system so it's easy for governments to justify these tax increases.
Gasoline is another thing that they tax the shit out of because like shoes, everyone uses it.

I wrote a blog story about it.

Wow! You're crazy man!

Yes, phart is right (as usual 😀.) They include Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland.

No snow in Canada this week. Nothing but blue skies and sandy beaches! End sarcasm. Right now where I live it’s sunny and -5*.

The Canadian Maritime provinces are going to get a visit from the storm after it’s done in the US.

Bella, and yet every time there’s a big drop in the price of oil the oil companies tell us how it has to get through the system before the price drop reaches consumers.
As an aside, the price of West Texas intermediate oil is about the same price today as it was a year ago.

I was wondering if a presidential dog is entitled to Secret Service
protection. This is a great read.

I bought a ticket for last night’s $60 million lotto max lottery in Canada. I haven’t checked my ticket and I don’t know if it was won so as far as I’m concerned I did win it.

I could get by on $60 million.

That's too bad. You can keep the bouquet of flowers I sent you anyways.

I’ve never ‘cashed one in’.

The trophy has a 100 point conversion value.

I have never seen a lizard in the wild. I’m OK with that.

It’s an important contribution of water for the soil. The snow in the mountains thaws in the spring and contributes to water levels downstream either east or west of the mountains depending on which side of the continental divide it falls on.

More snow means happy skiers and happy farmers.

I have a big hairy problem but I’m going to shave tomorrow. 🪒 🤣

dgraff!!! Have you been dipping into the Yukon today? Agreeing with Bernie Sanders??? Say it ain’t so!

Correction: Kinda agreeing.

Here near Calgary Alberta we’ve had a great January. I have an awesome Canada Goose parka that I’ve only used a few times this winter. We’ve even had enough snow to make the farmers happy!

I called them off.

“We are the largest military in the history of the world. We’re spending $740 billion on the military and the idea that we can’t protect the United States capital from a few thousand rioters is unbelievable.”

-Bernie Sanders

During his presidency he only came to Canada once. That was for a G7 conference in Quebec. His sons Don and Eric were here recently on business.

About ten years ago a friend of my Dad’s was in the process of moving out of town and about two weeks before they left they won $14 million. They disappeared out of town and we’re never heard from again. They were moving to a town where their kids and grandkids lived so I’m sure they’re living happily ever after now.

At least you didn't say (out loud) that it wouldn't be worth it.

Did you buy a ticket?

There will be no nuking. Anybody in the arm services may refuse an illegal order from a superior and this order would be refused.

$750M Mega Millions or $550M Power Ball. Do all Americans play? If I could I would! I could “get by” on either.
When the border was open Canadians used to cross it to buy these tickets although I’ve never heard of a Canadian winning a big Powerball prize. If you win I will show you a picture of my dick for $1 million! 🤣🤣🤣

Persona non-grata.

See update.

phart I was wrong. He would never loose Secret Service Protection. The above article is inconsistent from this one. He has to be actually convicted of impeachment in the Senate and there’s a separate vote after that to determine if he can hold public office again to lose those perks but he would not lose his Secret Service detail.
If he is impeached by the house on the 13th he will not lose any benefits according to this article and something I saw on the news tonight as well.

This is a message from the joint Chiefs on us Capitol riot.

"On January 20, 2021, in accordance with the Constitution, confirmed by the states and the courts, and certified by Congress, President-elect Biden will be inaugurated and will become our 46th Commander in Chief."

It won’t be. It’s a presidential pardon.

That doesn't answer my question.

--------------------------------------- added after 17 minutes

I have no sympathy for any of those terrorists. That 'poor woman standing there' was part of a riot trying to kill the vice president amongst others, "Hang Mike Pence!". The reason she was shot was because the Capitol police were trying to protect the elected people of the Senate and the House from terrorists. The fact that she is a veteran is relevant only in that she should have been protecting America not destroying it in a riot.

Phart, are you saying that you hope the Trump pardons the terrorist who murdered a Capitol police officer with a fire extinguisher? Really?

I think it would be risky to plan on a self pardon for Trump. If he "pardons" himself and it ends up in court it may not stick. The US Supreme Court may say that a President can not pardon himself. If that happens all is lost.
As I've said before, the Mike Pence presidency is also risky. The scenario is that Trump resigns and Pence pardons him. What if Pence has political asperations and decides that pardoning Trump doesn't fit with that vision? Pence could refuse to pardon Trump and all is lost for Trump.
If Trump pardons the terrorists, Pence will never pardon Trump. He couldn't do that and hope for a future in politics.
The irony of Pence pardoning Trump after Trump pardons the terrorists who stormed the Capitol chanting "Hang Mike Pence!" will be lost on no one.
I see no path for Trump to save face (or his ass) on this.
