He ended up hanging himself in his kitchen for his wife and three young kids to find him a few years later.

This guy is the new OMG!WTF!

What programs are your girls in?

While I have complaints about our health care system that should be addressed, mostly around lack of funding, it still almost always makes me happy when I have to make use of it.

Wife had our little girl this morning. Arrived at hospital at 1:30 am. Home at 5:30 am. Everyone happy and healthy. Nurses and everyone we dealt with were just absolutely incredible. Rockyview delivers, literally and figuratively!

Makes me incredibly happy.

You mean our healthcare system with the third highest per capita funding in the world?

Yeah, my wife and I had a great experience with maternal care in Vancouver. Went with a midwife and we received world level care. Wife had some complications during labour and the doctors and nurses were incredible.

Oldest is in honours biochemistry, applying for pharmacy at the U of A next year. Youngest is going into CMMB, interested in getting her DVM or completing the degree and doing research.

Yes, getting surgery at Foothills, the people were awesome in every way. The ward was a derelict ugly place full of discarded crap in the hallways that you figure they’d throw out at some point but the surgeons and cardio’s and nurses were saints

Kids team playing on the island today. They are trying to get invited to Macs Midget. They have gone from 18th in the standings to 15th to 12th to 5th and they just beat the #1 team yesterday in a tournament and my kid had two primaries (he's a disher) in a 3-2 win against his old coach.

Just maybe.

I don’t think I’ve ever had bad enchiladas. Lucky or just love enchiladas. Unless corn tortillas which are objectively terrible.

Cups.

Cups make me happy. I like all kinds of cups. I like all colours of cups.

But mostly, I like Grey Cups.

I finally left a space that was honestly toxic for me. I really probably should've left a long time ago but today was a turning point. I'm proud of myself

I signed up to volunteer at my toddlers school for a big lunch event. She has been talking about it all week, and is super excited that I’ll be there. Every time she mentions it, it makes me unfathomably happy.

Oh man I miss that stuff. It's wild how you can see how proud they are that you're their dad and everyone can see how lucky they are to have the best dad in the world there haha. It'll be a fun one.

yea - best feeling ever!


do you have to get a police back ground check to volunteer? i know at my kid's school parents have to - which is a good idea.
what ticked me off is i wanted to volunteer for something when i knew work would be a little slower (so i'd actually have the time to volunteer). i submitted my back ground form and then i get a message from the rcmp that they want me to come down to the detachment and i need to get finger printed for my back ground check. excuse me??? i'm no criminal. the worst "run in" i would have had with the police would have been a speeding ticket 15-20 years ago. no other parent i know has had to do that. so i ask why.
it turns out there is a real piece of work that lives in the okanagan with the same name as me. they know i'm not him - i have a different address, different SIN, different driver's license - they can pull up our info and know i'm not him, but becuz our names our the same i have to give up well over an hour of my time in the middle of my work day to go and get finger printed to go volunteer at one school function.... yea, sorry kids - not happening.

I didn’t, but I imagine that’s part of the reason there was a police officer there as part of the event.

And they made Macs Midget. My older kids team never got invited because they were too crappy. Have watched this so many times. Used to go with my good buddy and his pops every year after Christmas. He has since moved to Houston but he said he's back this week and we are gonna go watch with his old man who is quite elderly. Should be cool to actually have a kid in it.
