Canuk Greg from Ottawa, Canada

Oh very funny Greg, thanks for making me laugh! I am bloody sure you know it hurts, thanks for the sympathy mate!

Beavertail is one of the few meats I haven't tried. Sounds good in a pastry. Yum yum. Does it taste as good as Bear?

Thanks for the big, friendly welcome. But what can one expect from someone in the Great White North, eh?

p.s. Are you a member of Possum Lodge?

Silver trail? It's a snail. CG!

WOW! That Beavertail looks delicious! I may have to journey up there just to try one.

Yep, we get Red Green down here in the Bluegrass. I wish Harold hadn't gotten married. They had to end the series! Waaaaaa!

Hi! CG, I think I have it. It is SNAIL or ESCARGOT.

GREG, is it a snail?

Oh CG, thank you, thank you, for the b'day wishes!!! I truly enjoy being able to celebrate 2 days and am milking it for all its worth! "I shouldn't have to make dinner on my . . . I don't feel like grading papers on my . . . I think I'll scooot out early today cuz it's my . . ." I told everyone today I'm on Australian time and tomorrow I'll be on
American time. Neat isn't it!?!

Thanks for the good wishes on Nora Hope's birth. Nora and big brother Payton and mommy and daddy are well. I'm still with my daughter and family in Cincinnati, Ohio, doing gramma duties and becoming quite tired myself! It's a good tired, however! I'm hoping to be able to go home tomorrow (Wednesday 5/14) and then I can play sudoku again!

CG, if even that first rung of the rope ladder is under water, time to get OFF the ship, cause it would be sinking! A ship floats on the ocean tide, it does not sink into it!

Yes, I did receive the article on the Greenland Shark. I read about them in National Geographic magazine way back in their September 1998 issue. Here is a photo from the magazine's website of the Greenland Shark.

Note the tiny worm trailing from its eye. Were it not for the text of the articles, I would never know that tiny worm has made an entire species blind.

That bottom rung will never get wet.

Oh CG, of course never!!! Not unless you fill the ship with something heavy!

Dear Greg,
Thank you for your support while I have been ill. I never expected such a response from this site, everyone’s concern and caring has overwhelmed me. I can only say that it is the genuine people here who make this a very unique place to share our hopes, dreams, ups and downs. So thank you for being there.

Hi Greg,
Thank you for the birthday wishes. I hope you have thawed out up there by now and are seeing spring.

Greg - I'm sure Aaron will take you for a ride on his motorbike when you come to Albany. He took me for a ride on one of his motorbikes years ago and said "never again". I'm afraid I didn't lean the right way going around a corner (I thought if he leaned one way & I leaned the other, it would balance it better) and he said we nearly came off. Oh, well, perhaps he will relent and take me for a ride on the new Harley.
After all, that's what sons are for!

THANKS GREG!!! I adore everything by Bobby Darin. You made my day/night.

Hello Greg
You are such a dear friend , i thank you for always thinking about me and my country , hopefully thngs look better , and we will be able to make our trip on the 27th , i am looking forward to see my son and my dear Sudoku friends in Florida .

Hi Greg many thanks for your words of welcome I had been away over to WA we were away for 8 weeks, we also popped in & met Anne from Albany what a lovely lady she made us very welcome met for a coffee & had dinner at her place,we felt like old friends.

Ha! Ha! Did I beat you on here.
Good evening Greg!

Thanks for the U-Tube : The Seekers
my all time Fav. Group

Yep - it is Tom who's 17 today. I'll pass on your wishes to him - I might even let him have some "bad" (sweet) cereal today even though it's a school day. I need Rayray's gap tooth smilie!
The truth is he'll have eaten whatever he wants and have gone to school before i get home, so I'll never know what he had for breakfast.

Hello Greg - I just stopped in to say, HAPPY RETIREMENT!! Now you will wonder how you ever had time to go to work!!!! It is great news and I wish you all the best. A trip to Australia! Wow. Now that will be fun!

The magpies are tuning up so don't be long!

Congratulations on your Retirement...you sly dog.
Why didn't you tell us, we could have thrown a massive party on your page!
Can't wait till you get down under, it will be super to meet you. Maybe we can organise a massive Aussie barbie for you, I know I'd travel to be there.

Retirement hey!
mmm
an OAP now !!
Congratulations Greg.

To my cyber-friend Gregger - My most heartfelt congratulations on your freedom..er.. I mean on your retirement. Enjoy it to it's fullest. If you're ever in my neck of the woods during your travels, don't be afraid to shout.

The year of your birth.1948

Greg, Congratulations on your retirement. I agree with Shiela 1948 was a good year, not sure if I will like the being 60 thing. Take care of your self, make sure you get 2 evaluations before doing any surgery, I wish I had.
Harry & I have enjoyed what travel we have been able to do, this years trip to China had to be canceled of course, maybe next year. Australia is also on my list of places to visit.
Enjoy your retirement to the fullest.

Thank you, Sir Greg of Canuk, Knight in Shining Armour, for making my birthday a special one.
visiting me not only on my page,
on SA as well!!
and for the song 'splish splash' !!!
Many sudoku friends from around the world coming to visit me and wishing me a Happy Birthday have overwhelmed me.
My Husband and sons took me out to dinner to a Chinese Restaurant, and on the Sunday, we had a delicious Roast Dinner at MIL’s.

Hey CG, congratulations on the retirement! Now you can live the life of a just don't become a . Live life to the fullest . Now that you have the time come visit the rest of the continent. Sunny California awaits you! We've plenty of new members to meet and the old members know you dear friend! I'll even lend you my when meeting Judy!

Remember, Greg:
I bet you'll be wondering how you ever had time to work!
Enjoy it to the fullest, my friend!

CG - Welcome to retirement. Don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing (Retirement) as I find that I have been so busy I don't know how I found the time to go to work.

Nah! It's all good but takes a bit of time getting things organised ie pension card, health card etc.

Any way all the best - you hit the nail on the head with your comment about deciding what job to do then putting it off until tomorrow!!!

Greg
Take the time to do all the things you've dreamed of doing and when you visit Oz don't forget us up here in the north, there are plenty here who would love to meet you

CG, it's about time! Well, don't you think it's about time for retirement? I hope whatever medical issues are bothering you can be quickly healed or dealt with so that you can sit back, prop your feet up, and feel that there is nothing to bother you. Hubby and I are retired - and just keep getting busier, it seems. Ah, but it's things we WANT to do. That's the difference! ENJOY!

Hi Greg....
I just needed to tell you that I love that Mountie on his horse.

Oh CG that one is easy, even I know it. Take a strip and eat it and swallow it immediately. Don't let anyone see the strip before you eat it. So that the only way anyone will know what you ate is the opposite of what is left!!!

Hi Greg. for the birthday wishes - I do enjoy this 2-day birthday idea (as long as we don't have to add 1 year for each day). I haven't had time recently to read the posts, let alone contribute. I see from the ones on this page that you have joined the ranks of the lucky retirees - congratulations!!! I am SO envious

Greg!!!! SQQQQQQQQ SQRRY......for being an old crank....but you have turned me upside down with laughter.....LOL

Glad you enjoyed them. It was a fun day.
