Two, three, or four things you are thankful for.
My neice. She's 3, but brilliant and funny as hell. Amazing sense of humor. It's like my mom's essence was captured and put into her. One leaves, one enters, and I have a profound sense of continuation because of her.
Calgary. It's been a year, and I love this place. I love the people here, and I like what it looks like and what it's surrounded by. I thought I liked the ocean. I am floored by the prairies. Nowhere else have I ever had the sense that "this is home."
Mmmm... okay.
Take a couple of minutes, and really think about what makes you happy. Post it here, or not... but do it.

I think my 3 favorite things are all attached to women... skuzzy might ban me if I say what they are.
-
1. I'm not Canadian.
2. I am a Texan.
3. I am an American.
4. Free beer at my friend's bar.

What is best in life?
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

You could, but Sandman was doing this bit long before Grun was even a twinkle in some communist chick's eye.

I don't know, things are pretty confusing. Still waiting for better days.

It's amazing what you can learn.

Nash good post....I'm still thinking.
By the way, you should fly AH again.

Of course I will.... One day. Just not yet.

Hard work makes me happy. There's nothing better in the world. I never complain when my hard work pays off. And when it doesn't, I have something to beech about.:D

ROTFLMFAOAPMP!!! :lol
Seriously, I like both your answers and Grun's answers, I share those things with the both of you (well, OK, the Canuck thing's mostly a joke....mostly....and substitute liquor for beer then we're in sync ;))
Nash, great thread, thanks. I'll add:
My 7 year old grandson who its my privilege and pleasure to have to raise. He's a constant source of joy and I eagerly await the years we will spend growing together.
My job. I've had a good career since I got out of the USAF in 1974, but I abandoned my field of expertise in 2002 due to burnout and a desire to work in a different environment. Beginning in January 2003 I started at management entry level in a completely unrelated field, and have been fortunate enough to prosper there. The coolest part is that I work for a large corporation that's truly benificent both toward its employees and the community(s) that support it. Its really rewarding to work in an environment where you enjoy all the benefits that being large and well provided for provides, and at the same time being able to be proud of what you do because your chain of command demands not only fiscal success but also adherence to good ethical standards. I'm a really lucky guy in this regard.
The weather where I live is wonderful.
I'm fixing to go fishing soon, and in a way most folks aren't ever fortunate enough to be able to do.
I've got a new and fairly hot-rod computer paid for and OTW via fast freight, soon I'll be able to see AH2 as other than a slideshow.
And the Coral Sea scenario starts soon. It looks to be one of, if not the, best ever.
And I have the pleasure of being on an extraordinary team in that event (but I do need one more pilot, if anyone wants to fly with my group please e-mail me its going to be a hoot!)
I, like Tumor, have a noodle and like using it.
Plus, mine's bigger than his :D
culero (its all gud ;))

yep... point is to enjoy what you can and to work to change the things that are wrong in your life.
Nash my 3 year old grand daughter is in the other room watching cartoons and eating rice crispies... I have had her all weekend. I musta missed my kids growing up cause I see a lot more now. Maybe it is the lack of drugs ya think? I have enjoyed every place I have ever lived until it got too crowded.
culero.. My ex and I are raising her. I do what I can but being a single male and not that great of a parent.. I have her a couple of days a week. My job is near it's end and I know too much about it so can't play the game the way I should anymore... looking forward to retirement in a few years. Sun is shining... guns and hot rods all around me but I don't mind that I have to raise the grand daughter today instead.

These are in reverse order.
3. I'm happy that we are free to travel around the country and see just how big and varied this continent is on our schedule with no reason to hurry.
2. I'm happy that I am reasonably healthy and that I can do most everything I want to. I could be far worse off than I am now.
1. I am happiest that my wife is still cancer free after 5 years and can enjoy life with me.

Me too Mav:)

Since nash says I have to work on my Karma, here's my contribution.

1. Really happy I woke up this morning. Hope to keep this string going for a few more decades.
2. Really happy I have a close-knit family; parents, wife, sons, brother & sisters, in-laws, nieces and nephews. It's great to know and love so many that are so closely intertwined in your life.
3. That prairies exist...and can be walked with Labradors. Ever been cutting wheat when a boiling, roiling, huge thunderstorm swept across the prairie from horizon to horizon, coming right at you? The sudden drop from 99 degrees of searing heat into 60 degree gusts spattered with rain? The booming of thunder, the crack and flash of lightning? Such power and majesty. (I like mountains too...)
4. Friends that are as comfortable to be around as an old shoe.

lazs, its not only the right thing to do, but you're enriching yourself by doing so. She needs the balance in life you're giving her, and as I said, there's payoff aplenty.
My wife my grandson and I are a family unit, but I work so many damn hours a week its pretty much the two of them Monday through Friday, mostly school/home. So, like you, I usually take over on weekends, and I leave Rebecca at home while I guide Josh a little and let him explore the world. He's fixing to start learning about boats and fishing this summer, for instance :)
It gets better as you go along, man.

Eskimo, my niece just brought her baby home from UCSF after a two month stay...he weighed two pounds, two ounces at birth and now he's up to 5 lbs 6 ounces and he's doing great.
After watching the anxiety of my niece and nephew in dealing with this I can understand what you and Mrs. Eskimo must be going through...all I can offer is my best wishes to you and my prayers to God for your baby's eventual homecoming.

My grandson was about the same size, and went though much the same. He's now 7 and healthy. I'm with Airhead on this!

A blow dryer, baby powder, and silk Cabela long underwear. (search the catalog, you can order them off the net. Your sitting at the computer will never be the same)
No swampnuts in the Creamo house.

Sounds good, but I also like the tingly feeling my balls get with Gold Bond powder sprinkled on them.

My sister was 3 months early on 10/26/81 when she was born. 3 lbs 2 ounes at birth. She immediately dropped to under 3 pounds. I was 10 and even then she fit in my hand.
Now she's 23, beautiful, married and her little girl just turned 2.
My prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family Eskimo.
