Oh by the way the little guy is doing well. We go back to the vet for the last followup this Thursday....fingers crossed....hope the little guy is alright after this!!!
Busy....busy........so sorry for the lack of posts....but just don't have very much time these days....
Today was a beautiful day plus 10 the sun was out all day. Now as evening approaches the clouds are rolling in from the west, they are calling for 10-15 cm of snow in the next 24 hours. LOL then it's going back up to + 16 by the weekend. One day of snow followed by massive melting....what a mess outside!!!
Well back later...taking the dogs for a quick run outside before the snow starts...cheers...matt

CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL , U S
PLEASE READ
News from John Hopkins:
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters.
This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.
Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto , Wellness Program Manager at CastleHospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers.This especially applies to foods that contain fat.He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex orceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin.
So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc.,should be removed from the container and heated in something else.Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurantsmoved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.
Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Our good old government takes care of everybody but their own. How sad is this!!!!!
Only in Canada .....Do not apply for your old age pension, apply to be a refugee. It isinteresting that the federal government provides a single refugee with amonthly allowance of $1,890.00 and each can get an additional $580.00 insocial assistance for a total of $2,470.00.This compares very well to a single pensioner who, after contributing to thegrowth and development of Canada for 40 or 50 years, can only receive amonthly maximum of $1,012.00 in old age pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement.
Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees!
