Just got back last night from a trip out to western Canada. My Father is 74 years old, terminal cancer, and never seen the mountains. It started out as just myself my wife and my mom and dad going. We booked everything, then the next day my Dads specialist called with new CT scan results, the tumor in his back is pressing against his spine, 2 choices, 9 hour operation with a 10% survival rate or 10 heavy doses of radiation and being paralyzed in 6 months to 1 years time. While my parents were talking it over the Dr called back, he talked to the surgeon, he refuses to do the surgery as he is 100% sure my father would not make it off the table. With this news in mind I talked to my brother and sister and they joined in on our trip, 1st full family trip in 30+ years. We were out there Saturday till Tuesday. We got a whole lot of sight seeing and family time in. Mom shed happy tears, Pops literally said "Holy Fuck" when we came around 1 corner to a huge mountain in our view. It was an amazing trip filled with memories! People, get out there and do shit with your life now! Dont be like my pops and wait for grave medical news till you start to do things cool in life. You never know what life is going to toss your way, so live it to the fullest while you can! Any Canadians on here, if you have never been to Banff, get your ass out there! We got so much beautiful country within our own borders to see, GO SEE IT!!!! Here are some pics, you may not believe me, but, all these pics are taken with my android cell phone.... NO FILTERS!!! The Murphy Clan Lake Louise Alberta Beef steak dinner with the fam Bow River Bow River Elk Selfie Contemplating life at Moraine Lake Bow Falls Trail Sunrise from downtown Banff Last but not least, getting high way up high!!! Smoking a joint on top of Sulphur Mountain! (Its legal here in Canada!!!)

Everyone tells me I look like my dad. What do you folks think? This picture was taken in January on our way to dialysis

Nope - he's better looking!!!

just... WOW. Beautiful country. So sorry to hear about your Dad. Cancer sucks, I lost my Mom to it recently. I am so glad you and your family got to spend this time with him and create those memories. Hope you are doing well, brother!

I am so confused by this thread and the content.

wanted to have my foot examined for a infection thats not going away doc sends me to a eye specialist just makes me wonder why i'm targeted for a sheep

Looks like two >IDIOTS< confusing each other

awesome,,we do have beautiful country!! sending hugs for your dad!!!?

Wow I agreed with TBB for the 1st time ever ? Oh and yup no denying you...Now you you know your older self lol

Lol, because that's a rarity in that server.

When a company makes money by manipulating data, it's the last place to look for unbiased information. Can't believe the prevalence of people looking to an echo chamber for facts.

Most of the time, driving to my work space ?

Just installed Windows 11 on my laptops with the Windows 11 Installation Assistant. Not liking the new start menu, seems to take longer to get where you want to go. Was a pretty painless install though, kept everything I had installed- apps and drivers.

Will be heading your way with my Mom in a year or two she has informed us. Pops will be passed on by then unfortunatly, but he has made her promise she will go and well she will need a chaperone! LOL going to do the whole east coast run

Great country eh Storm. Wife and I drove a round trip down through northern US and came up through Alberta into BC then drove across Canada back through northern Ontario. The views and sights in Alberta and BC are awesome. We plan to do again some day once we get our little travelling trailer. From a spot we stayed in Alberta just ahead of the BC border:

Thanks for sharing and yes it's on my bucket list.

So sorry about your dad! Glad you all had a good trip. Yes we have a great beautiful country to see. Wayne

That was our 2nd time out, my wife and I went 4 years ago, did 2 nights in Edmonton and 3 nights in Calgary. Only got 1 day spent in Banff. This time we stayed right in Banff at the Banff Aspen Lodge for 3 nights. Wifey already planning next trip next summer. Fly into Calgary, 2 nights in Banff then drive to Jasper the scenic way, 2 nights there, then cross the mountains into BC and 2 nights there then fly home

hahahaha doctor sent you to eye specialist for your foot!!!!!

He answered your damn question in his email back! "We are not open on weekends" Jesus yea, the pandemic made you a fucking idiot that's for sure.

Don't let it happen again!!!

I feel you. Why does the only thing that seems to make sense to me, i.e. Toronto Eye's answer, seems to be the only thing called into question?

Sorry I missed this post, looks great @tsw 8.5keep these cooking post going.

Finally got it. I copied the installation files from DVD into a subfolder where COD2 was suppost to be installed. Then I right klicked the setup.exe and chose compability WinXP SP3 AND run as administrator. Installation was very quick completed. Patching to V1.3, I finally could join one of the XI servers. Thanks for help everyone. I think, the problem was, that I only cose to run as admin, to choosing both (admin AND compapility).

I have a lot of different sauce recipes. Just tried this one a few weeks ago. It is fantastic for pulled pork sliders served on kings Hawaiian rolls
