Makes you really think at times. Or maybe he just said three weeks so he had time to make the "curse" whole by slipping something into the water. Why such things were allowed to persist and even today some things are allowed to persist when there are people around to stop it, is beyond me. Maybe ignorance is bliss kinda thing?Pat Hatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745293224202430152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-89748375337281194542017-11-10T16:17:00.354-07:002017-11-10T16:17:00.354-07:00Exceedingly interesting FB.

I'm finally back in business and ca...Hi, Jean! I'm finally back in business and can reply to your comment. I'm sorry that I accidentally published a partial draft of this post near the end of October. I'm sure it had you scratching your head in perplexity. "C'est la guerre" was used as an expression in Canada meaning roughly, "Such is life" when you are going through a rough time or situation. Now Canadians are more apt to say, "It's all good." <br /><br />I enjoyed your story about the Maori man who came for dental help. I saw the movie "Cast Away" with Tom Hanks. To me the most horrifying event in the movie was when he got an accessed tooth and had to bang it out with a rock. Dental events are my nightmares, and they can become life threatening for me. <br /><br />I can't remember what the last, brilliant photos were! LOL I often use an earlier post as the template for my current post; sometimes two. So I can have quite a scramble as I write.<br /><br />I hope that you continue to experience a welcome spring. We have sunshine and, hopefully, warmth today. Right now our fireplace is on and I'm wrapped up in a warm robe. "All's right with the world" in my small corner. I am profoundly grateful, but I often wonder why I should be fortunate when so many have such a harsh time. Sending you and Hugh hugs and well wishes!

Whe...Translates as " It's The War"??? When my Mum's sister was a missionary/teacher in a very remote area in New Zealand, a older man of that bush area came, with toothache. He pointed to the offending tooth, Aunt had the pliers, the tooth came out.The next day, same man was back, and now pointed to the next tooth " Wrong one" he said. I so sympathise with your Mum, even with a good local and an oral surgeon, not my fun time at all. Love those last photos, brilliant, and the little hut with a fire inside,. the DEW looks like it goes from Prudhoe Bay or even further West, 3,600 miles, across Victoria Island, Baffin Island, and to Greenland. I also found data on the White Alice Communication Systems. ( WACS). Yes, it is so true, we can find out everything (almost) about anything at the touch of a keyboard. Have a wonderful Saturday, down here, Sunday morning, cool, damp, grey, grass is green, flowers are blooming, and like " Pippa Passes " All's right with the world". If only that were true worldwide. Fond greetings to you both up North.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.com
