You bet spjones! There’s a ton of turmoil in this country and unless the PCs can get their crap together, it’s going to continue. Like chief Wiggams tie getting sucked into the hotdog roller……..” This is gonna get worse before it gets better”…..lol.
I “lol”, but it’s really not funny.
It’s the seats thing that really screw over the west. When the elections are already kinda decided by the time they count Quebec, there’s a problem.
There was a small movement in western Ontario wanting to split and join Manitoba a while back. They too felt forgotten by Ottawa & Toronto.

leave NOTHING unsaid
My opinion is grief is the worst when you have regrets. The most common thing I hear following someone passing is people saying "I wish I could talk to them one more time" or a variation of what was never talked about often enough. I carried nearly 45 years of regrets when my best friend was killed in a car accident. Not to get off track, but I knew what was going to happen. He was driving every weekend to see an old girlfriend that was a piece of trash. Rather than confronting him, I avoided talking to him for a couple months. When I finally felt the need to call him, I was informed he was dead. My 2nd biggest regret was sending my brother to v/mail when he called. We live in different states and talked every couple weeks. But when we got on a call, usually lasted for over a hour. I thought I was too busy to be on the phone for a long time so I v/mail and planned to call him later. Later, he passed and it was too late. nearly 10 years and I miss our vacations together, but most of all - his very long winded calls.

I've held the hands of too many people through death, Mother, Father, Friends, great acquaintances, and a couple strangers. I learned early on the most peace comes from talking to them. Have those conversations, let them talk about what they love, what they hate and their fears. Very important - listen to them, don't just hear them. Never pass an opportunity to have THOSE conversations that seem too difficult to have.

We can't avoid death and strange how it can go in streaks. I'm already wishing 2026 was over and jump into '27. Lost 5 five friends & acquaintances so far this year and a close call with my grand daughter. To some, I probably come across as a cold hearted SOB. I just learned that our memories are with us for a lifetime and I appreciate what those close to me have contributed to my life and I know what I have contributed to theirs.

I just lost my closest friend two weeks ago. My buddy Ruger, 13 year old chocolate lab. Never experienced anything like the relationship we had. He knew me almost better than I know myself. In 60 years, I never experienced this type of loss and emptiness. The hardest part I have every day is not that he isn't here with me, Its that he couldn't talk to me. He knew, I saw the pain, his body language told me it was time. I held him for hours with his eyes partially rolled back and he just slowly licked my finger tips. Yes, you can think (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), its a dog. But the fact that we couldn't actually talk hurts like (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman).

No idea how your state insurance laws work, but there are no issues with independent insurance agents paying claims around here. And what are you talking about that Auto Owners went under...?

My ol lab has problems with her knees. 7 years old and cant hunt like she once did. I gave her glucosamine for a good while but did not seem to do much. Have prescription pain pills now.

This is what MTP sells. Or you can make the.

We're good in town (where I live). Closest fire flank is about 8 miles northeast of town and due to the wind direction it is currently progressing in a northwesterly direction.

This is the largest private lands only wildlife since the 1950s in this area. It'll be approaching 40,000 acres with another windy day.

We had a huge wildfire in 2007 (560,000+ acres), but 90% of that one was on Okefenokee NWR, a road-less, inaccessible block of public land.

… you finally woke up warrior ? lol

I have a 570 4x4 2022 Its the canadian one junk x junk (Can - Am )

It was always my problem if the buyer didnt get the item. I had to refund them then go fight with the USPS for insurance. I never got refunded for lost claims which I feel is totally on them. Only the ol "we are still looking for it" for a couple weeks until they win by attrition- to the point where I dont even bother any more.. I also never thought ebays year end figures were any good to me with alll the shipping and sales tax mixed in so I kept my own records. And dont forget the old damaged claims where they need to see the box......I dont have the flipping box and most buyers arent readily going to help me much or throw it away immediately. There arent any so called "scams" any more a buyer can return an item for any reason under the sun, including buyers remorse or I found one cheaper. Maybe Im doing it all wrong or missing something here?
