    Lt. Turner, Cpl. Dinning, Bdr. Mansell, and Cpl. Payne Killed- April/ 21/ 2006

    I wish to send out all of my prayers tonight to all of the family and co-workers of the 4 men who gave their lives for us.  Their deaths are not in vain though, as they were there to fight for the smaller person to whom is unable to fight.  And for that my family and I give our thanks.  I knew...

    CFHA Residential Housing Unit (RHU)-old PMQ [MERGED]

    All You Want To Know About Bagpipes[ and then some]- Merged

    I don't play myself but growing up in Cape Breton I have grown to love the pipes, no matter what's played.  My husband plays though and I usually have him play a few on his channer(sp)  since I have found it hard to hear the pipes as often since moving out west.  Our son, 3 years old, loves the...

    What to do with retirement?

    I am 29 and in 2004 I received a 3b medical.  I am really happy to be staying at home now with my 3 year old and husband.  I am loving it, but miss the field.  Never thought I would say that!!  It's great since now my husband can work on his promotions and take the postings that will be best for...

    Cooks ( merged )

    Hello, from Caper861 a girl!!  The one thing about being a good cook is you got to get along with people and leave the cranky's home.  The two things I learned through all of my years as a cook is 1: remember that the people you are serving are out there in the cold and working their a$$ off...

    How do I make him understand??

    Well, I think that at sometime us stay at home partners have gone through this.  I like the idea of sending the box of stationary.  My husband said "men aren't the writing kind".  So, I kindley told him I was the reading kind and he had to supply the material.  I think that by the pic you have a...

    Boot cleaning / polishing / care of

    I know this post is old but I would like to add my 2 cents.  As a cook I had to wear parade boots in the kitchen everyday.  I always had trouble with parade boots until after 10 years I found out what worked for me.  Get a new kewe cloth and a small can of polish.  As soon as you open it put a...

    What's the size of your......hometown?

    I grew up in Albert Bridge, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.  How many people, god only knows, but it's been growing since as long as I can remember and keeps growing.  Great place to live and to raise kids, but I am retiring back to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

    Quite possibly the most ridiculous emergency call I have ever heard

    Loved the 911 hamburger.... attack of the killer pickle!!  haha  My husband came home from pt and I had to get him to listen to it.  These are all good reasons why people should not be allowed to have cell phones.  Keep them coming.

    Best Coffee Joints

    In my military years of travel, from Newfouldland to Alberta, I have been to alot of Tim's.  For a time in Ontario I worked at Tim's and I think it was the best job I had.  You would see people come in and get !@#$ crazy if there was a certain doughnut not there.  One Sgt. Major even threatened...
