Some of the content is off of the internet, which most of us have seen many times..The difference is in what is chatted about. One site would prefer to have a much more Raunchy membership, which suits them fine. They also love to tear another group apart, including this group, and those members all come from here, and still belong here, they come back in here and are so sweet it is sickening. Except one of them who was terminated from here, a year or so ago... and who is responsible for another person to be terminated. He has now burned bridges to two sites...I hope he is content and can sleep at night.rosemary133 MSNhttp://msn-rosemary133.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464100720604662734.post-2390976048853215562007-05-02T14:35:00.000-07:002007-05-02T14:35:00.000-07:00HI Ed Did they bill you for the door?

I left McGill yesterday (where I teach a class on Mondays) heading to the Union St. Metro entrance. I stepped on something that turned my ankle and I opened the heavy steel door with my head. The door remained intact however but I was not. I was instantly surrounded by people who lifted and sat me in the doorway. A young women produced a box of kleenex and made them into a giant ball which a young lad held on my head to stop the bleeding. A man asked questions and relayed the answers to the 911 despatcher. Another man held the heavy metro door open so the heat would be on my back. These wonderful people stayed with me for the whole twenty minutes it took the Ambulance to get through rush hour traffic. When the Medics arrived they magicly disappeared. I never got a chance to thank them. The medic said they would take me to the best Hospital in Montreal, Verdun General. Strapped down on my back in the ambulance (they worried about my neck) I was looking at the rows of lights on the ceiling. It brought to mind an Irishman's joke. If you're in the bar and the wall in front of you has rows of lights, you're probably on your back on the floor. It reminded me this was not the first time. Anyway, the Doctor put nine stitches. The medic said I was not cut, I was contused. I agreed, I didn't know even my own name, but that happens a lot anyway Ed edbro68 MSNhttp://msn-edbro68.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464100720604662734.post-84264133567459135392007-05-01T04:11:00.000-07:002007-05-01T04:11:00.000-07:00yes that's certainly a deal ..........cause yo...<em>yes that's certainly a deal ..........cause you just don't get much of anything for under $10 dollars tese days,,,,,,so to be able to take the family on what amounts to a days outing for that type of money,.really is a bargain,........</em> <em>Montreal I read somewhere along the line ,that they had te best ridership per capita ,than any other NorthAmerican City...............</em> <em></em> <em>JMH,..or Fresco,....maybe Guy,..might Remember reading or hearing that,/////</em> <em></em> <em></em> <em>..........................................Have Fun & Remember Verdun................................</em>les__f MSNhttp://msn-les__f.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464100720604662734.post-90548236975678922702007-05-01T02:16:00.000-07:002007-05-01T02:16:00.000-07:00I was impressed that we (a family of 4) could ride...I was impressed that we (a family of 4) could ride the bus from Verdun to Beaconsfield for under $10.00.
