Thanks for the plumber that saved my dads life last Thursday.  Dad was doing work on his house in New Brunswick,  had a massive heart attack.  Plumber was only other person at the house, called the ambulance, got dads cellphone and contacted family in Ontario.  If not for the plumber being there he would have been gone for sure.

That's great!! 
I lost my dad a few years ago due to a massive heart attack. Only person in the house was my step mother and she had no idea what to do.
first aid/CPR is a good thing to know. I took the day course after that.

I am an MRT at work. It is not my job but they train a handful of people to be trained with rescue situations and cpr. At first I did it because of the 400$ tax free incentive they were giving me but now I keep doing it because of how useful it is outside of work. I have 3 kids now and feel the more prepared I am for any situation the better for them. Hopefully it never comes to that but at least I will have the knowledge to help. 

My Giants won. 

I woke up to an order for my Etsy shop that I've neglegted over the last few months. I makes me happy to see that despite that, people are still interested.

After going to Ohana over the weekend AND trading stories with @tempo_n_groove -- a new forum friendship that happened over a trade -- I have to bump this thread.  Ohana was magical.  The song Ed did with Johnny Marr would make a great "holiday" single.  So much to be positive about!

Aside from pj I love to listen and see Glen Hansard.  His music is so heart felt and honest with the Irish side that beats in my soul. 
Me and my middle child Charlotte 17 made the trip to the most westerly  point of Europe. The dingle peninsula . To see the magic that is the swell season.  
They haven't  played together in years and it showed in their emotion for eachother. 
This was in a tent in a field,I am not exaggerating when I say in the middle of the wilderness of West Ireland. 
The tent held at most a couple hundred . Mostly locals.
 After the amazing show Glen waved his arm and said let's all go outside.
We were front row and followed him out around a burning fire in an old oil drum. We all stood around (me and char stood next one of our idols. Glen) we all sang a few songs. He asked me what to play next and I said the auld triangle.He offered me a verse but my brain totally forgot all the words I knew.  Someone filmed it all. It's a dark video as it's in a dark field at midnight . 
But I want to say we followed a dream and it was as magical as I dreamt. Big love to all.

That's so cool! What a great night that must have been.

I actually came here today to post some of my favourite Glen Hansard lyrics so this ties in well:

Winning Streak

Through summers long and 
Winters cold
May you always have someone good to hold
And may good fortune wait on every bend
And may your winning streak
May it never end

So, roll the dice, boy
'Cause my money's on you
Take my advice now and put your money down too
Because there's something in the eye you can't pretend
And may your winning streak
May it never end

And may the sign of the Southern Cross
Be some comfort to you when you're lost
And may the devil's evil eye
Pass you by

Well, it's not for glory, I tell you true
That I do these things I do for you
But for a promise I made now I must defend
And may your winning streak
May it never end

And may the sign of the cross
Be some comfort when you're lost,
Help you when you're all broke down
May the spirit of good brethren, turn you around

And may the devil's evil eye, pass you right by
Don't you look back my friend
And may the sisters of good charity
Take you in

Through summers long and
Winters cold
May you always have someone good to hold
And may good fortune be a constant and a loyal friend
And may your winning streak
May it never end

May your winning streak
May it never end
May your winning streak
May it never end
