Damn :sad: Usually the date registers with me, it didn't today :( I can't believe it's been 18 years already - literally half a lifetime ago now :|

Really? must not have gotten much US coverage. It was devastating. Some big turn outs at the memorials today so that's good.






Have you ever heard of a sport called Crashed Ice?

Calling music prog that isn't prog makes baby Jesus cry. :(

Jules, were you ever told what kind of a murmur it is? Some are very benign, and babies/kids outgrow them eventually. Hopefully that's what your daughter has. :)

VP, she is going to her first cardio appt in a couple of weeks so they will finally be able to give me an answer of what it truly is.

Thanks Snowbunny, Mia and Beavs, well anyone really (lol). :hug:

I know the feeling. I'm ashamed I didn't think of it this week. Thankfully other people are doing a better job than me remembering. I'll have to calendar it.

I debated mentioning it in here out of deference to you, however then I realized I'd be doing them a diservice, esp. as I'd already forgotten and I didn't want to compound that. An awful awful time, which I'm sure you understand more than anyone :hug:

it's okay to talk about it around me. i don't mind it at all. it was a big tragedy and definitely deserves some reflection. thanks for thinking of me though. :hug:
 
That is insane. There have to be a lot of broken bones at the end of that. <--- re: Crashed ice. And it's free. :D Awesome.


pfan = Holden Caulfield. I just realized it. He's precocious like that. An old soul, but not jaded. Is humorously cynical, but in reality an optimist.

Pfan-much more mature than most of the teens on here. :up:

Well, we spent the first few months trying to figure out what to call him, so there was that distraction. I don't multitask well.

fucking nutters. I think I might be in QC that weekend. i have got to see this in person. There was footage on TV tonight. absolute madness

That looks nuts - fun, but nuts *snerk*

Take my advice - if you do go, skip the Three Days Grace concert that they're advertising for after the race, they absolutely suck... in fact there are no words to describe just how much they suck, and I can't even hear the band's name without shuddering :yuck: (And yes this is based on an experience of seeing them live - here in TO 4 years ago)
 
In reference to the École Polytéchnique massacre, that was a day I won't soon forget. I was 11 years old at the time, and I remember being shaken by the thought of how or why someone would do such a thing. :sad:

And as far as news coverage in the U.S. goes, whenever something happens in Montreal (and the rest of Canada) I invariably always turn to the U.S. networks to see if and how they're covering it. I distinctly remember Peter Jennings ( a native of Ottawa) reporting on it.

I've never been to that, but that event is not long before the Winter Carnival. Anyone that hasn't been to it must go there at least once in their life. It's a blast!

Hi there :wave:

Welcome to the bar - don't be a stranger.


Thanks for your POV on that as a someone who lived in the Province. We had just moved here, and my mom was terrified. We had moved here rather than the States because of gun violence in school my mom was concerned about. It just made no sense, and unfortunately wasn't the act of a mad man.


Peter Jennings. :(



Do you know anything about this Crashed Ice deal?
