very sad news; Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip has terminal brain cancer

[smell the glove]

Thank you.



One of the hardest things to do, as executor, is to literally throw everything away...

Is Gord Downie a smoker? Did he or does he abuse drink? Is he or was he a substance abuser?

I have to arrange burial here shortly.



If you think life goes on, I have news for you...



Here are my mother, and my father, awaiting burial.



I am the only one that is here to deal with this...

I have no idea. He is not famous for his partying like some rock stars.

Who knows what causes all the forms of cancer we have floating around. I do believe cell phones account for many of them.   I read something awhile back about guys shouldn't put them in their pocket next to their genitals because the "waves" can destroy their sperm count.  I'm sure there's more to cell phones than just causing cancer cells to bloom.

That's right.  Both dead, sitting on my table here.



You know what the sad thing is?  Those urns cost me about $500 each.



I check where everything is made, and they are made in India.



My parents would NOT approve of this...  However, I have very little choice at this point in time.

I feel your pain, Mel. I lost my Dad to brain cancer about 11 years ago and I also lost my Mom before then but to a muscle disease. I didn't get their ashes but they were freed into the ocean. Even though it was a long time, I still miss them terribly and will always love them.  Hang in there and take care of their ashes, look after yourself, they would want that for you. Hugs.



Oh, maybe there's a special place they always wanted to go and you can set them free there?

Thanks Annie!



The offer still stands...  for medical requirements...

[Annie]

What offer? And for what?

I have eye problems from the tumor and also cataracts. If my medical doesn't cover it then I'll be dipping into my RDSP, although I'm hoping to use that for fun stuff lol

Cataract removal is covered by your provincial health care.

That's what I thought, Herman so with the other problems it doesn't matter. It should be covered! Woohoo!
