- I am not allowing Gary’s back to stunt my plans. We are still going on vacation. It was down to Hawaii vs Vancouver Island, and Canada was winning (more animals). Then, this weekend, Gary said, “Did you hear about the riots in Canada?” According to him, there is rioting in Quebec, both clothed rioting and naked rioting. I asked if Quebec wanted independence again and that’s why they were rioting. He didn’t know. So, if the rioting spreads to the Wickanninish Inn then we may have to bail on Canada. Damn Civil Unrest.
I might ask him to pay the difference between a non-refundable ticket and a refundable ticket.
- He now insists that wherever we vacation, there should be a spa that might help him if his back goes out. (What might help him is if he’d take the muscle relaxants as needed.) I don’t know if a hot stone or cupping therapy would be as good as a chiropractor. And I don’t even know if chiropractors are any good. We never touched them in my family. Or rather, we never let them touch us. Do they actually work?
- The life span of a Scooba in my house appears to be … well .. always less than the warranty. The Christmas Scooba went into eternal diagnostic mode (all the lights flash, even the Service light you never knew you had, and then five tones ascend and then descend). They’re still sending me a new one.

You might point Gary in the direction of a map. Quebec and Vancouver Island aren’t, shall we say, contiguous. And, anyway, rioting Canadians? Isn’t that like saying ‘honest politician’?
Well, the French…such temperaments, non? But yeah, rioting Canadians is like rioting Minnesotans. I just can’t see it happening.
Tell Gary to go to physical therapy. That will help much more than a chiropractor, imo. And in my experience.
Are you using Gary as MS insurance? Seriously?
I believe this may be your “riot”:
It’s students protesting tuition hikes.
Sneak the muscle meds into his coffee or something.
Big Dot – Well, yes, I know, and he just looked at the globe last week to see where Vancouver island is, nyah. And what is the width of a continent to Gary’s paranoia?~~Silk – But where was the nudity?Becs – “MS Insurance” – when you put it like that it sounds foolish. I’ve been thinking of it as a deposit in The International Bank of Karma. (I washed the soles of his feet the other day. They were dirty!)
QM – That’s okay. I was using Xman as old age insurance until I realized he was spending his money faster than he made it and the way he treated his body, he would die before me, or worse yet, I would have to be his nurse. It was good that I left, but that was my situation.
