Reciprocity

Wow - welcome back Thought we had lost you a while ago when you stopped posting. Happy to see you're still rocking your quit Kev!

Canada Day is kind of strange here as there's no real protocol to follow. It's just looked at as another long summer weekend which are a prized commodity here due to weather issues most other times of the year. Most just get laid back and relax or maybe do a BBQ. There are fireworks but it's way more prevalent these days then when I was a kid. It's not like in the USA that's for sure. Years ago fireworks were reserved for only Victoria Day which is a celebration of Queen Victoria's BD in late May. See, we do still care about your Brits ?

Those stripy Jellies wouldn't be Jello shooters now would they?

So, I spoke to the Lido Deck food and beverage manager (Chef Pierre) and he told me that he's got no idea what a "lolly bag" or "honey joy" is, let alone chocolate crackles or fairy bread so I'm guessing you are SOL regardless of the timing issue

All special menu requests for Lido Deck celebrations MUST be submitted at least 6 months in advance of the party date or traditional fare will be served; NO exceptions!! (Guess what traditional fare is Jo?)

Temp got to 37 C today with a humidex of 47 C (Humidity factored with temp). That's a record for sure! No relief in sight either. I can guarantee you, someone will leave their pet or young child in a car with windows up sometime in the next week ? Happens every time it gets hot here. People are either stupid or just don't understand hot weather, glass and a confined space?

As they say any port in a storm and never miss an opportunity ?

^^^ It may not be visible to others around us Weegie but all of us here who have turned the corner on this addiction have felt the very same thing. A sense of accomplishment like no other. Each of us in our own ways have confronted this deadly addiction and taken back control of our lives. Now that's Freedom! It's not an easy thing to do which is the reason there's such a special bond with people on this board who we have never met and likely never will. Here's to us!

Great work Jack! 11 months is super fantastic and you are now only a month away from reaching the Lido Deck I'll have a cold Beer waiting for you!

WOW! 7 Years is something for all of us here to look toward achieving

You've worked hard to get to this point Albert. Congrats on reaching the 1/4 Year marker! Well done Be sure to celebrate this important milestone.

Pork Chop is on his way Jo!
