In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,

That was until I found out about the awesome advertising campaign that 1and1.com came up with: free hosting for 3 years! I […]

It always boggles my mind when a gunman goes on a rampage, be it in a school, an office or wherever. How do these people get to the point that they feel compelled to take someone else’s life… and most often many people’s lives. It’s so incomprehensible to me…. these people are so sick. They […]

I’ll try and keep this as short as I can and not get into all the gory details. :Þ
Daughter went to Montreal late Sunday of Labour Day weekend and returned Monday…. to make a very long story short, trip was pretty much a huge disaster. Daughter was very sad *hug* On the day that she […]

Happiness is not so much in having as in sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life out of what we give.
