My Muskoka: Thanksgiving turkey
What a wonderful Canadian, October tradition. Here is my Nanny (1883 – 1978) basting her turkey. Today, down Memory Lane, since our family are elsewhere creating new family traditions, I can look to the past! Nanny always cooked for the entire extended family. … We had some visit our frontage, and they roared across the lake on the ice, having run down the neighbour’s driveway first! I tracked them across the other neighbour’s property, weird little roaches! … read more…

Muslim group calls for burka ban in Canada – Holy Post
Daily throughout the region – citizens are beaten, raped or murdered; and property is destroyed – by Islamic Supremacists. Police no longer have control, because politicians have tied their hands. Police and emergency personnel are continually attacked …. What a brave move and a totally correct decision by the Canadian Muslim Congress. The burka is an outrage and has no place in Canada. Recently I saw two women in Lake Louise wearing burkas. It really angered me. … read more…

Open Question: Living by a lake: drawbacks?
Im moving to Kelowna, BC, Canada next year and im looking into retail estate. Im interested in living by the lake there, but l havent lived by a lake before.
Im curious…are there many more bugs/mosquitos by a lake-side property compared to property that is say 1 or 2 km away.
Also…how bad does it get with them? (I seriously hate bugs and biting/stinging insects)
Is there anything else l need to know?
Thanks for your help!
Voting Question: Where to fish from Vernon, B.C., Canada?
I just moved to Vernon, and I love fishing. I’m wondering where I can go on Kalamalka or Okanagan lake? I don’t have a boat, so I’m looking for somewhere to sit and cast. I’m only sixteen, so I can’t drive yet, so I need to bus to the lake and then walk. I tried google, but it just tells me fishing resorts, or beaches, which are filled with swimmers and beach-goers. Is there secluded lake areas that aren’t private property? Or do I HAVE to have a boat to go fishing, or a car to go to a smaller lake?

Ten Dollahs
Stumpy Grinder and his wife Martha were from Portland, Maine. Every year they went to the Portland Fair, and every year Stumpy said ” Ya know Mahtha, I’d like ta get a ride in that theah aihplane.”
and every year Martha would say “I know Stumpy, but that ihplane ride costs ten dollahs…. and ten dollahs is ten dollahs.”
So Stumpy says ” By Jeebers Mahtha, I’m 71 yeahs old, if I don’t go this time I may nevah go.”
Martha replies ” Stumpy, that there aihplane ride is ten dollahs…and ten dollahs is ten dollahs.”
So the pilot overhears them and says ” Folks, I’ll make you a deal, I’ll take you both up for a ride, if you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say ONE word, I won’t charge you, but just one word and it’s ten dollars.”
They agree and up they go…. the pilot does all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard, he does it one more time, still nothing… so he lands.
He turns to Stumpy as they come to a stop and says ” By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to holler out, but you didn’t.”
And Stumpy replies ” Well, I was gonna say something when Mahtha fell out…but ten dollahs is ten dollahs!
Maine Winters
Some engineers from the U.S.G.S. surveyed some property and found that in a area, the New Hampshire and Maine border must be changed. They stopped to inform a farmer that he was no longer in Maine, but in New Hampshire.
After a long pause, he grunted and said, “That’s good. I couldn’t take another one of these Maine winters.”
The Teethbrush
Research had been going on for many years in regard to the invention of the toothbrush. Researchers knew the purpose of the device but wanted to know and acknowledge the originating location. After a very long and exasperating study, the researchers came to their conclusion about the origin of the toothbrush. It was decided that the brush was invented in Maine.
Intrigued by the discovery, the media asked the researchers how they came to this conclusion.
The researchers all agreed that it was simple deduction: “If it was invented anywhere else, it would have been called a teethbrush.”
