TEACHERS are entitled to EI benefits?

Too bad, as I have said before ad infinitium, I would like to talk to you in 50 years. I wonder how great your life will have been.

I know you've lived the most unfortunate life with your constant sad stories, but some of us aren't as neurotic and tend to enjoy life and see the positives. Perhaps that's where the difference really rests, hey?

There are people that complain about every event and blame society, and those that accept responsibility for themselves and deal with it.

My dear Geoffry, that is what I am trying to convey to you. My life has been good, I have wonderful children, I have extremely good health for my age, I live in a beautiful setting in a home I love. I do not blame anyone for anything. I had the job I loved however I have always supported the old cliche's. They all say the same thing, "What goes around comes around"' " Do onto others as you would have them do unto you" and as the Bible says "Love your neighbour as yourself".

I am not complaining about my way of life, as you and others on here seem to assume" I am defending others that you would condem as lazy or unwilling to look after themselves. I am giving you examples of what can happen and over which you would have no control.

Spewing the hate as you do will come back to you. You especially seem to attack people of the Maritimes and Newfoundland, I wonder why. I work at our local food bank and I hear the stories of the awful things that can happen to people, over which they had no control.

My daughter had leukemia and was given a year to live, today she is working as hard as ever and is rated one of the best nurses here. I love it when people say "Laurie is your daughter!!! I just love her"

My cousin's daughter did not live. Her father was devastated. Why did this happen she was the same age as my daughter, life happens. As my son said when his oldest boy at the age of 21 died in a stupid car accident. when he phoned to tell me about it, "Shit happens MOM" When another cousins vibrant and handsome son died at the age of 21 last year in a diving accident his fathers comment was " Eric lived life to the full, he loved air beneath him"

He belonged to the local Ski club and loved jumping high.

You have no idea what life holds in store for you and one of the great things about this country of ours is what you people call it communistice support of others. Consider life Geoffry you hopefully have a long way to go.
