I could even pick up a few tips.<BR/>And this morning I read that guards let two prisoners from a Saskatchewan jail go yesterday and didn't report the "escape" right away.<BR/>So if we got tired of being there, we could just ask them to let us go . . . this is sounding better all the time.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18272420311319793006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906373275283192752.post-63019813659363199752008-10-23T10:44:00.000-05:002008-10-23T10:44:00.000-05:00Maybe we both should go --then I could meet all my...Maybe we both should go --then I could meet all my writing deadlines.

There are no women. These guys are fanatics. They yell things that only they understand, then suddenly the guys in the front slow down, the guys in the back speed up and switch places, again yelling something incoherent. My dogs scramble to the ditch dragging me behind through the bullrushes and mud until the road is safe again. The dogs are not afraid of my bike, but then I ride like a 41 year old woman. <BR/>La di da.....<BR/>NanceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906373275283192752.post-16619706251189711562008-05-13T14:42:00.000-05:002008-05-13T14:42:00.000-05:00I agree with helping to try to keep schools open a...I agree with helping to try to keep schools open as it will cost more in gas and time and money to transfer these kids to another school. It's not fair to the kids. They have the right to get a good education in the area they live, which is why a school was put there in the first place. What happens if we close the schools and then get a population bust of kids needing education and our schools are overfilled? Then what? We reopen the schools we closed, which is just uprouting kids again. Just a thought. <BR/><BR/>Lisa Wasserman, Teulon, Mb.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906373275283192752.post-22852182710886896022008-05-10T12:14:00.000-05:002008-05-10T12:14:00.000-05:00Remember those huge yellow and black spiders that ...Remember those huge yellow and black spiders that made thier web near the garage?
