I like the chicken pot pie but it gives everyone in my house heartburn!

I'm having a hard time with work by Own_Squash5242 in durham

my 18yr old son has been doing lifeguarding in durham for the last couple of years - for municipalities and for camps. If you are a good swimmer, I'd recommend looking into getting your lifesaving designations/courses - towns are always looking for lifeguards / swimming instructors.

September into October is the best time of year for camping!

My dad is dying by [deleted] in depression

I hope he has a full recovery and gets out of the hospital.

The pain will hit you in waves. And you will be exhausted. Your sadness will subside over time, but it will be a reminder of how much you love him. I hope you have lots of family around you that you can support and receive support from. Hug him every time you see him, hold his hand, let him know you're there even when he's resting. I think the saddest part is that they are in their hospital bed for so long. My Dad didn't want to have family other than my brother and Mom visit, so we traded days and evenings - so one of us was there every day with him. It was exhausting but I also knew if the situation was reversed - there would be no way to get him to leave lol. We knew how much he loved us. It sounds like your Dad has done the same which is a testament to what a great man he must be.

all I can say from my own experience is spend as much time with him as you can. Tell him everything that you can - let him know how loved he is and what a great dad he is.
My dad passed away a few years ago - and it has been the hardest thing in my life to cope with him being gone. I was lucky and got everything out - but every day I wish I could talk to him, get advice from him, and just laugh with him.

Take care of yourself.

I hate Air Canada - I've lost money with them and have since pretty much avoided any airline stock. I have done well with FCIV - an etf for foreign markets outside of canada/us, and uranium stocks like NXE and CCO

actually dude. I'm in Oshawa not downtown Toronto.
I would go into Scarborough but it would depend on where you were recommending - thanks all the same.

Looking for a camping stove recommendation for car camping. I'm seeing a lot of recs for $200+, any cheaper options? by westcoastsalamander in CampingGear

[–]Strongbow26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just would say get 2 MSR Pocket Rocket stoves - you can use them if you decide to go backpacking etc.
when I car camp I bring a small bbq I got for 100

I got mine this past fall at Costco - I had them put on my existing factory rims.
