Women and heart attacks (Myocardial infarction)
Did you know that women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have when experiencing heart attack…you know, the sudden stabbing pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest &dropping to the floor that we see in the movies. Here is the story of one woman’s experience [...]

Are we headed for World War 3?

As I poke about on the internet I am listening in on a conversation going on behind me. One is my husband who spent some time in Germany serving in the British army after World War 2, the other is a man who was inducted into the Hitler youth in Germany when he was very [...]

Chicken little and the grizzly bear tracks

We took Annie the dog for a walk down by the river today. The sun felt really warm although the wind was quite cold. My husband wanted to check if he get down to the bank to go fishing yet. I think he is crazy clambering about on slippery rocks but the fish [...]

Making changes

I found by using Stat Counter that most people prefer to use a resolution of 1024 x 768 rather than my preference of 1280 x 1024, so when I checked it out on my new monitor I found my template had to have some changes. My coyote and fish were half off the screen. So [...]

Repenting of boredom

Yesterday I wrote that my husband and I were getting bored waiting for winter to go.
When I went to bed last night I snuggled down in clean sheets with a full belly, a warm little home, my health, no debts and no threats to my life due to my beliefs or opinions. I have access [...]

Snow Doughnuts

Snow doughnuts, like these found in the North Cascades, form when snow conditions are just right.
I haven’t see anything as unusual as this in our snow. Unfortunately all I can see as the snow melts is the little dumplings Annie the dog has left for me throughout the winter.
The snow is melting though, we can [...]

The numbers are in on the snow level

The numbers are in and as of Sunday we have had 14ft 3inches of snow but it has been snowing all day so make that 15ft. That is the official report, I don’t know who goes out every day and measures.
I pinched a nerve in my leg somehow on Saturday, it came on very fast [...]

Why St. Patrick’s Day?

I remember being in the States one St. Patrick’s day and had ordered breakfast and my eggs had been coloured green along with the bacon and there was a clover stamped in my toast. Later stopping for a drink in a pub the beer also was green. From my British perspective it all seemed [...]

Shopping

We drove out of the village yesterday to Houston. I had my hair cut so now I look a cross between Yoda and an ageing pixie, but it doesn’t look bad but all my lovely blonde streaks from last summer are gone.
There really aren’t many stores to go to in Houston or Burns Lake, [...]
