Dude what are talking about ? So, OK, like right now, for example, the Haitians need to come to Sarnia. But some people are all, "What about the strain on our resources?" But it's like when I had this garden party for my father's birthday, right? I said R.S.V.P. because it was a sit-down dinner. But people came that, like, did not R.S.V.P. So I was, like, totally buggin'. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, squish in extra place settings; but by the end of the day it was, like, the more the merrier! And so, if city hall could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion, may I please remind you that it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Bluewater Bridges?

Hey there (((four carlos)))! First of all I would like to tell you that your comments have been ridiculous at best. (And I have seen others say the same thing. So I know that I'm not alone in this thinking.) -----
The fact is that I "AM" here taking care of my Mother. And anyone that knows me any better than from 3rd hand rumours knows that to be the case.
If I weren't here to help her out and take care of her, she would need to move to a home for the elderly. Which is something that she absolutely does not want to do!!!!!
Her only brother, (My Uncle Oscar) died on Sunday Morning, and was buried in New Brunswick yesterday. He was 81 years old.
It was actually a good thing that we got a call the day before, telling us that things were not looking good for him. I think it relieved a lot of the shock. If they had waited until after he died to call us, I think the shock would have been very bad for my Mother. But FWIW I think she is taking the news very well. (All things considered.)
On Monday night, when I went to City hall to watch the Election Results come in, my Brother and Sister spent most of the evening visiting with my Mother. And she is taking the news of her Brother's death fairly well. But losing her only Brother that was left is something that she is still taking very hard.
The fact is that my Mother is 82 years old. And sticking her into a Car and driving to New Brunswick would have been far too much for her to take! So she didn't get to go and attend her only Brother's funeral. (And everybody in the Family understands why!)
There is now only my Mother, (Who is 82!) and her sister Louise. (Who just turned 90.) Ma t'aunt Louise lives in Massachusetts.
I drove my Mother out East to visit her sister back in 2004. We stayed for about a week. And as we were leaving, my Mother turned to me and said, "I just know this will have been the last time I ever see my Sister."
I had no idea of how to respond to what she said. Mainly because I knew that what she had just said will quite likely wind up being the truth. Neither one of them is healthy enough to be able to make the 1,400 mile trip to see each other again. -----
I have made mention a few times that because I am officially and legally seen as her "primary caregiver", I will always be the 1st to be aware of any changes in her health. And, (Although I hate to even have to think of it!) if she were to ever simply die in her sleep, chances are quite high that I will be the one that finds her. (Yikes! I shudder to even have to think of that!)
Every single night, I make it a point to look in on her to check if she is OK. Mainly to make sure that she is breathing. And, with her being so tiny, (80 lbs.) it is sometimes very difficult to tell. So I have to wait.
I don't want to touch her to check her pulse, because that would wake her up. And I want to let her sleep whenever she can. (Sleep works wonders to maintain a person's health.) So sometimes I have to sit there for quite some time to wait to see her move in some way.
When I came home Monday night, (After being at City Hall to watch the Election results come in.) my Mother was fast asleep. And she quite likely had taken a significant amount of medication to allow her to sleep. Especially knowing that her Brother had just died.
My Brother and Sister had both gone home already so I made one of my frequent checks to see if she was OK. I never turn on the light in her bedroom because that would wake her up. So I just turn on the Hallway light and leave the door open so I can see her well enough to see if she is OK.
Well, on Monday night in particular, I had to sit there for at least 20 minutes to half an hour before I finally saw her move. (I was "TRULY" frightened that night!) When she finally did move, I knew that I mice elf could go to bed. (She was alright! At least for the moment.) -----
To just touch on a related note. There is a Family of 6 Brothers and 1 Sister that call my Mother "Grandma". The owner of this Board, (((Michele))) knows this Family quite well!
That particular Family absolutely loves my Mother! Even though they don't exactly get to see her all that much. And they all respect me deeply for the fact that I left the living I was making in Toronto to be home to take care of her.
One time, a couple of years ago, I had to go out of town for 4 days. I got everything I could get done to make sure that my Mother would be OK while I was away.
One of those 6 Brothers was here the night before I was to leave. He told my Mother, "If you hear any noise, and think that someone is in the house. Call 'ME' before you call the Police! I promise I will be there a lot quicker than the Police will!" -----
I guess the point I'm trying to get across here is that it is OK with me if you don't like me. That's your privilege, and I would not ever want to try to force anyone to like me that doesn't want to.
But if you (or anyone else for that matter) wants to make fun of my Mother or the fact that I live here and take care of her. You will be pissing off a Family of 6 Brothers and 1 Sister whom you would be much better off not even know (Or care!) that you exist or feel any kind of ill will about my Mother or the fact that I do whatever I can to take care of her. -----
I'm sure that if (((Michele))) decides to post in this string, (After what I am posting here right now.) she will confirm that what I am saying here is true.
Say whatever you want to about me! But do yourself a favour and stay away from saying anything bad about my Mother or the fact that I do what I can to take care of her.
I do love her a whole lot! (As everyone should love their mother!) And so does this other Family of 7 kids. From your own end, I am advising you that this Family of 7 kids is truly not anyone that you would "EVER!" want to be pissed off at you!
Don't take my word for it! Hopefully (((Michele))) will step in here and let you know that what I am telling you is the truth. (Do yourself a favour and mind your own business when it comes to things regarding my Mother!!!) -----
Peace! DG

Carlos, I lost my mom a few years ago, her only sister was in Australia. Her sister visited a few years before they both died. I spent time with my mom over the last years so I know what you say. She was diagnosed with cancer just before Christamas and died the day after my birthday in February. She did't want any treatment, just wanted to pass away. Her last days were at home until she had to go to St Joe's pallative care to die.
I support the pallative care, even if Caroline Dicoco and the Liberals don't.
Best to you. I would advise that you should not waiste your time and money into forays in politics. There are a lot of help required by all kinds of groups in Sarnia who can use a thinker like yourself. You could also volenteer to play your guitar at the retirement homes and for patients at the hospital.
Best regards

Thanks Leisha. FWIW I "have" played my guitar at homes for the elderly many times. The biggest problem has always been that I don't know very many songs from their era.
I do know certain songs like "You are my Sunshine" that our elder folx like to hear. As well as a few other old standards. But I find my music most welcomed by them during the X-mas season.
I can do about 25 X-mass songs. And most of them are "VERY OLD" standards. I actually prefer playing the "Jesus" type of X-mass songs over the Satan Clause and Rudolph junk. And, (for the most part) these elderly people know those songs and can even sing along. -----
WOW! X-mass is coming really soon! Times, dates, and places please?
;D
Peace! DG

It's Easter that is always on a different date -- that's Jesus has to die on a Friday and resurrect on a Sunday... kinda blows the whole weekend if ya ask me... but I didn't write the Bible, and no one asked for my input. Anyway, Christmas is on December 25th -- same as every year.

Hey there (((four carlos)))! First of all I would like to tell you.... Why would you feel the need to tell a bunch of strangers personal info. about your family? If you love your mother then respect her privacy and quit blabbing her personal business online! Sorry about your uncle but what does he and the "family with 7 kids" have to do with anything anyway?

Sorry about your uncle but what does he and the "family with 7 kids" have to do with anything anyway? Who the hell knows with Carlos? I've read a lot of posts and a bunch of newspaper articles, and from what I can tell, Carlos is the only one babbling about his mother. And why does Carlos ramble on about things that nobody cares about? Who knows! That remains a mystery for the ages. It seems that Carlos tends to respond to unrelated matters when confronted with pressing issues. The whole thing about his mother is one of those irrelevant tangents that make him appear insane.

Word has it that Carlos is running for the NDP in the next provincial election. He would have to get the NDP nomination first. You can't just say that you're going to run for the NDP and then just run as an NDP candidate. You have to seek the nomination as an NDP candidate, and be chosen by the NDP party to be their candidate in this riding. Do you really think that the NDP party would accept Carlos Murray as candidate for their party? Come on! The NDP party wants people that have a chance of winning. The only way Carlos is going to be able to run in the next provincial election, is if he runs as an independent. Unless he gets the nomination for some really obscure and ill-conceived fringe party... Like maybe the Marijuana Party, Communist Party, or the Provincial Perversions Party. But seriously, anybody that thinks Carlos Murray will win a seat in provincial or federal government is indulging in fantasy. The only way Carlos Murray is ever going to become involved with higher government, is if Stephen Harper has a nervous breakdown and appoints Carlos to the Senate. lol For those who enjoy fantasy and can't quite seem to get any grounding in the real world, check out this site... and for the love of Christ, leave the politics to people that actually have a clue. lol

Carlos would make a good NDP candidate. I could see them endorsing him for the riding.
