An Ottawa gal enjoying life with some bumps along the way & a little warped humour tossed in, just to make life more interesting

@FR1908___ Thanks, but I'm good. There are resources here I have access to.

This is my grandad, Pvt Peter (Larry) Jansen who served with the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa, Perth Regiment. He first tried to enlist when he was 17yrs old. His third attempt was succesful and he became a messenger.

[Sam Malone @1darkblonde]

@FR1908___ Definitely. He encountered difficulties upon returning and it fits what we now know as PTSD. He suffered nightmares his whole life sadly. We have some photos along with his uniform badges and medals. He received the standard issue.

Was disappointed to see #ablism on @TheSocialCTV when @melissagrelo flippantly suggested Ben Affleck take a med for his debilitating migraines. If only it were that easy when your head feels like it was used for batting practice. #invisibleillness #chronicillness

[Sam Malone @1darkblonde]

@FR1908___ Unfortunately, we don't know. He refused to say one word about it upon his return.

@citizenduffy @OttawaCitizen Given the wife's family has contacted you & @OttawaCitizen re this article & the accuracies I'm surprised this article is still up on the website. The man is being investigated by police for treatment of 'his wife', isn't he? Homeless bc he has no access to her money, right?

[Sam Malone @1darkblonde]

This man is not who he appears to be. The 'wife' is a friend's mother and he is being investigated for his treatment of her. Too bad the reporter didn't do their due deligence.

@Steve_of_Ottawa @ctvottawa Most govt employees work via servers and have a security fob/password, especially those working with secure/classfied info. Nothing is or should be stored on the computers at home. If an employee is doing that, they likely were doing it in the office too.

@Sue_HBS @ottawaathomemag @FarmBoy @maryktaggart Excellent, I'll need to get a copy for myself.

[Sam Malone @1darkblonde]

@PierrePoilievre Enough with the BS and pathetic lies and antics.

[Sam Malone @1darkblonde]

@IamHazelMay @ctvottawa Once again, your ignorance is showing. And you're comments make it clear you actually haven't learnt anything from those science people of yours.

[Sam Malone @1darkblonde]

@IamHazelMay @ctvottawa I don't believe I said the issue was only in the city. Using 'duh' shows that you clearly aren't capable of having a proper discussion, one you could actually learn from. When you feel you can talk civilly from someone with a background in environmental science, let me know.

[Sam Malone @1darkblonde]

@IamHazelMay @ctvottawa Their habitat has become suburban neighbourhoods & bedroom communities instead of fields & forests. Another area habitat is now a massive construction project, ripping out the trees & green space, forcing all wildlife residing there into backyards. Where do you want them, zoos?

[Sam Malone @1darkblonde]

@IamHazelMay @ctvottawa As someone with a geoscience degree I understand how numbers will naturally increase & decrease with food availability and environmental factors. Human interference does not always have positive outcomes. In this situation coyote numbers are not the issue; people are the problem.

[Sam Malone @1darkblonde]

@ShawnMenard1 Not surprisingly, she doesn't walk the talk. We never see her around the ward and she was MIA for her constituents after the derecho went through. She's full of nothing but BS.

[Sam Malone @1darkblonde]

@mchkzn I think how that person imagined it ending is not how it really ended.

[Sam Malone @1darkblonde]

@CodyYou04943682 @DrGillLeighton @MailOnline @SkyNewsAust @PierrePoilievre Well, ppl will do weird things when there are horns and fireworks keeping them up all night for days on ends. Personally, I would have got a gun & pinged a few of supporters off. But maybe that's just me. I think many residents felt the same, but are more law-abiding. Funny that.

[Sam Malone @1darkblonde]

@turnipseeds @JanTheMan2010 @NCC_CCN @ChristieEsau Yep, ample opportunity to do that on our city's trail system.

[Sam Malone @1darkblonde]

There's a bear on the trail at Old Quarry Trail (P5) so be alert and give it the space it requires, or maybe change you plans altogether. @NCC_CCN

[Sam Malone @1darkblonde]

@NCC_CCN Thanks. Luckily we met a family who had just met it & it seems the bear was content in staying where it was. It didn't intend to move away or follow the family & us as we turned around. Most ppl we told going in turned around.
