The Shangri-la Clubhouse

In that it appears that the Monster Thread has died a quiet but noble death, I propose that this thread take it's place. Hopefully, it shall contain all that was good about the Monster Thread -- a thread of peace and tranquility, of humor/humour, wit, satire,and silliness. It was an oasis from all the troubling news that is all too real in the world "beyond the horizon". It provided all who came a cool drink of water and a momentary respite.

Personally, the Monster Thread was a place where I could wish you all a peaceful good night, or greet you with a smile and a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

We cannot recreate the Monster Thread, just like it is not possible to recreate the original Woodstock. It is something that just happened, with no overt plan, no rhyme or reason. Yet, in my honest and sincere opinion, it served a valuable purpose for our community. Friendships were made in this thread, and only concerns and worries were lost, albeit momentarily.

Thus, I propose that this thread inherit all the good qualities of the Monster Thread, and, as the Phoenix before it, rise out of the ashes of technological "flames". I would also propose that the Shangri-la clubhouse have no leader (sorry Kosh for your one-term in office postion). Let it be free to wander where it might go, free from the talk of more serious and relevant matters that have their open debates in all the other threads.

RIP Monster Thread. You were of, by and for the people of ehMacLand.

In the words of William Wordsworth

"What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be."

Back from my physio appointment. Starting next week, it will be physio and "Deep Tissue Massage -- German style". Not sure what the massage entails, but she works with my physio so I shall have a tag team approach to my neck and shoulder problems.

Kim, I shall let you know how this goes with me.

August 2012 closes at St. John's with an average daily high temp of 22.5°. This stands as the warmest August on record, following the warmest July on record, with records going back to 1881. The doxies did not suffer much, since our basement is cool and dry.

Morning everyone. Seems I was last out last night and first in this morning. Need a coffee to get me going today. SAP is done, but tomorrow is left to build. Don't miss our video today called "Beauty And The Beak", the story of a bald eagle named Beauty and those who helped her return to the wild.
That was an amazing story about the bald eagle, Don. :clap::clap::clap:

Have to make an emergency run to the LCBO

I can't imagine what could have happened to those few remaining lagers?

Thank you, John. Now that the sale is completed, we are hoping to buy the strip of land just behind our home. We could go into doxie ranching with this piece of land. We shall see.

Well, soon my property will be one less one tenant. Wife and I are helping my son move to resident at McMaster this Sunday. He will be taking Life Sciences and hopefully major in Bio-Chem. It will be a sad but momentous day for all of us.
Todd, enjoy your "empty nest" status. We felt the same way when my son moved to TO to go to Ryerson for a year. He now wants to stay in TO. We shall see.
