Longjohn ★ Posted April 7, 2020 Share #1002 Posted April 7, 2020 I’m thankful for our aide Joselyn who visits twice a week. She is like a ray of sunshine. She isn’t here very long, usually about a half hour. She washes my wife’s hair and helps me change the bedding if needed. She shows me all kind of tricks to make it easier to care for my wife. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Posted April 7, 2020 Share #1009 Posted April 7, 2020 Sadly, I was actually glad for my afternoon meeting. A bit of normalcy to distract me from everything going on and a distraction from my overwhelming desire to hurt two millennials and one really crooked lawyer.

Simply because people aren’t posting things they are grateful for it doesn’t mean they aren’t grateful. I am grateful every day of my life for the good things in my life. And I am grateful every day of my life for the One being with me even through the difficult things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted April 8, 2020 Share #1013 Posted April 8, 2020 I'm grateful for my State Farm Insurance agent, Patrick Cloyd, who made sure I was so well insured - better than I realized. People are asking me how I got such a good policy and is it expensive (about $15/month more than the cheapest insurance). They're amazed at all the stuff State Farm's been doing - paying rent for a luxury apartment for up to 2 years (hopefully it will take 1 or less to rebuild but, with coronavirus, 2 years a stress-reliever), cutting me a $4,000 check the day after the fire, checking out, ok'ing, and hiring a boardup/cleanup company that appeared at the scene an hour after the fire began, agreeing on a cleanup price and paying it even though it's "non-essential" and can't begin yet, etc. When my last car was hit while parked on Dec. 31, 2012 by a hit-and-run driver, Patrick said, "Your policy doesn't cover a rental car but that's my fault, so State Farm will pay for a car rental until you pick up your new car (2013 Honda Fit)." My last car (1997 Ford Taurus) had a $900 blue book value and blown airbags caused it to be totaled. But State Farm cut me a check for $2992, saying dealer markup, taxes and tags had to be considered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted July 28, 2020 Share #1025 Posted July 28, 2020 The deepest it gets is 70 feet. Out here lakes over 500' are not unusual. It was warm enough that we would pull in and go swimming a few times on our paddle. It is little known and used area. I only knew about it because someone drown there a few years ago so we were called there. All day we saw one other canoe and two paddle boarders. Pretty nice day 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted July 28, 2020 Share #1027 Posted July 28, 2020 This is the Bow River which people are not allowed to swim. It is cold but there a strong current pull all the time by the downtown area. Flows from Rocky Mountains..about 200 km. from us. On the odd occasion, there have been drownings. Those people are walking on bike-ped path that goes under a road bridge. I am on the road underpass which has been temporarily blocked since Mar. from cars..to allow more cyclists, peds and scooters during covid lockdown. Calgarians seem to love group rafting, floating downstream. Some kayakers, not as many that are in downtown VAncouver in False Creek by Burrard Bridge. The water is often blue-green ...year-round. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in the ball park. It is not only the depth but the depth + time that will get you into trouble. No diving on this trip, sometimes it is fun to be on top of the water instead of beneath it They tend to use 100' in recreational courses and a hard "no-go" line to keep people who have limited skill sets from killing themselves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
