These are all older shows and some of you may never have heard of them, but I used to enjoy most of them - MOST. In any event, here is the list:

SCTV (1976-1981) - IMDB 8.5/10 ME 8/10

The Hilarious House of Frightenstein (1971-1974) - IMDB 8.1/10 ME 3/10 *5

*1 Polkaroo annoyed the HELL out of me.

*2 This show was for young girls and I was a 24 year old man when it came out but I really loved it.

*3 We watched this as a family for years. I have fond memories of the family time, but not so much of the actual show.

*4 I bloody loved this show so much. This was part of my life for many years. I would not miss an episode unless I absolutely had to do so. CBC's streaming service doesn't have it and I'm astonished about this. I'd love to re-watch them. As well, the place in the list messed up an otherwise perfect symmetry to the shape of the list LOL.

*5 I bloody hated this show so much as a kid, but it was the only thing on in its time slot and when I could not be out playing, I'd watch it. A very close friend LOVED this show so much and watched it in reruns for many years to come. OK now for the strange part, there were 130 episodes, and all but episode 130 were originally aired in 1971, but episode 130 was aired in 1974 for some reason.

Questions About Nurses (Q&A)

Image
I've been asked 5 questions about my interactions with nurses. I have had many dealings with the medical system over the last half of my life. So I decided to answer them here on the blog instead of my YouTube tag channel. Here they are, feel free to use the questions for yourself. 1. What is your opinion on nurses who work in hospitals? I just got out of the hospital and a number of them where in charge of my care. They where all attentive and caring people. Yes, they do actually talk about people behind their back (I know 2 nurses personally), but when dealing with you, they are very professional and treat you with respect. To be honest, at least where I live, they are very overworked and I can’t understand how they don’t just loose their minds on some of the people the need to deal with. I have a great respect for them. 2. Do all nurses treat their patients well? Not always, there was one in a care home my mother was in, and she was a hellish person with the worst possible attit...

The Panic Attack From Hell

Image
I've been having panic attacks for decades. I get a hell of a lot of them, but most of them only last a few minutes then they pass. However I can at times get them all day long for days on end. But yesterday was different. In the thumbnail, it says entering hour 3 of the worst panic attack of my life. Well that was just the start. This bloody thing lasted for over 6 hours and I was on the edge of having to go to the ER the entire time. Now it's been a hell of a long time since I had to go to the ER over it, and I would rather not. But I have in the past. They give you a pill, and 20 minutes later the panic stops. But the wait is often very long, and most of the time the attack would have ended by the time I got in. I'm having one at this very moment by the way. It's not as bad, but they are never comfortable at all. They always suck. I hate that they make me dizzy as hell. I've tried meds decades ago and it made me feel like crap, so I've been living with it sin...

Deluca Coffee from Kenya New Irati (250g Whole Bean)

Image
Flavors: Raspberry, Watermelon, Maple Syrup. The flavors listed or exactly how it smells when it comes out of the pot. I'm also getting a hit of dark chocholate and a hint of green apples. After taste is very much the raspberry and watermelon, and a hint of chared oak. It lingers in your mouth for some time after you drink it. I ground it to a fine consistancy, and brewed it in my Moka pot. It seems to have rather a good kick to it (Caffeine) It's delightful to drink. I'd give this a 7.5/10
