Is anyone aware that Canada charges a 270% tariff on milk coming in from the US ?

Wow she is doing really well.

She has kept very active both physically and mentally, she exercises regularly and has kept her weight well down, she started piano lessons about 10 years ago, and guitar lessons 2 or 3 years ago. She also paints, writes, has taught Sunday school and this year is volunteering a couple days a month at an elementary school.

I understand Murray And that's why I don't want to be a burden on my kids...

It seems not being willing to accept the help is more of a burden than not excepting help. That's how it was for us and my wife's mom.

I don't know Charlie, My kids keep telling me they want to take care of me but I don't want to be a burden on anyone. I think I'll check out before that happens. Hopping anyway.

It was a real pain in the butt feeding mom at her place. I had to unplug all of the cooking utensils. Refrigerator door not closed, things like that.
Finally convinced her to come live with us when my wife found her cold on the floor. She needed a bath. A lot easier to do from our home. Luckily she had assistance insurance to carry her through. This was all during Covid. But who am I to tell you.

I think you been through more than me dealing with that.

I disagree. Water under the bridge. Where we are heading is letting your kids assisting you to gracefully spend the last days of your life which I am sure they will have it no other way and you should gracefully let them.

Stayed home from work today, except to check on a client, and get ready for next week. Was going to fix a roof, but it's windy, and cold. Was going to continue a remodeling project, but got late in the afternoon. Figured I've been working too much lately, putting in full days, could use a refresh.

Celebrated too early. Got called into work this evening.

Went from 50* on Wednesday to 7* today with a 20 mph north wind, butt numbing cold at the park with my dogs this afternoon. I had to change a flat on my wife's car this afternoon, then did some grocery shopping while my wife was cleaning the house.
Taking mom out for dinner tomorrow for her birthday, she's 92 on Tuesday, still getting along pretty well.

Happy Birthday to mom. Cherish them while you still have them. They are a long time dead

 

[Mark Wainwright]

Agreed with Fred, FIL will be 93 on the first day of spring still living by himself with lots of help from us. Has home care 4 days a week. Don’t know how much longer he can do this. Don’t know how much longer my wife can do this. Hoping the Doctor fast tracks him into the nursing home soon.

Just make sure it's his decision or it'll be all your fault

Should have told them you had been drinking. That lets you off the hook

Not my job the boss and I have a drink during work at times.

 

[Mark Wainwright]

Morning guys. Looking after parents is a hard job. They're always on your mind. Did I do this or that?
My daughter wants us to come to their place when the time comes but I don't want us to be a burden on them.
We'll see when the time comes.
Not sure if that fat little bastard has seen his shadow yet but maybe this will help your eyesight

6 more weeks. Get your suntan lotion and flip flops ready.

 

[Mark Wainwright]

Been dull all day.
Went out to put the garbage and recycling out for tomorrow.
That windy was nasty.
Bundle up and keep warm
