Well, for me on Jan 9th, I hit 1 year post transplant, I am going for a follow up visit with VGH and then I get to see what restrictions are being lifted. Also soon I can stop taking 2 more medications as I get my immunizations and continue to show progress. I could (fingers crossed) be down to ...

My Spanish is pretty decent, but I think I’m better at English and German. My French, Russian and Finnish skills are pretty rudimentary, but I get by. Just don’t expect me to be able to discuss politics or philosophy in them. I promise not to discuss philosophy in Russian if you don't. I’ll drink to ...

This wall of text I did read. :wink: Good stuff, Per. Now I know where Bluetooth came from. Give me a good pair of wired speakers any day over that crap. Yeah, bluetooth technology was developed in Scandinavia by Ericsson in the 1990’s, albeit the lead developer, Hartseen, who is usually credited w ...

Who knew at my age that I would be back in class getting history lessons on the internet. Per you missed your calling, you should have been a History Prof. Thanks. I have two great passions beside hockey - history and linguistics. By writing about history in a second language on a god damned hockey ...

But taking a more serious look at the Greenland issue. Two things I want to address: National Security. This is what Trump says is the reason the USA must have Greenland. But this is bullshit. Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and they are a founding member of Nato. They have been close ...

Regarding Greenland, Trump has stated that "just because they sent some ship there 500 years ago doesn't mean they own the land". https://www.crazycrow.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Chief_Bearman__Chief_Mad_Bull_Cheyenne_Tribe_calling_on_Pres_LCCN2016893117-wiki-crop-01-1400x800-1.jpg "We hear ...

And now a statement from the chair of the Federal Reserve: https://youtu.be/KckGHaBLSn4?si=38dh38YlTv5G288O :shock: Let me quote Bob Geldof: " Banana Republic Septic Isle Screaming in the Suffering sea It sounds like crying Everywhere I go Everywhere I see The black and blue uniforms Police and ...

Seems Trump is beginning to lose his grip on the republican party: ” In a remarkable rebuke of Republican leadership, the House passed legislation Thursday, 230-196, that would extend expired health care subsidies for those who get coverage through the Affordable Care Act as renegade GOP lawmakers j ...

I think there are cultural differences at play here. In the USA law enforcement officers kill 1000-1100 people per year. In Sweden the police on average kill 1 person per year. Some years it may be two, many years it’s none. But on average one. Of course, it is an unfair comparison as Sweden only h ...

And to think the Italians beat Sweden in the bid for the 2026 games. :( We had a low budget proposal. Mainly using existing arenas and venues instead of building everything from scratch. Hockey, ice skating, etc in Stockholm, alpine events at Åre, crosscountry skiing and ski jumping in Falun. ...

1.2 million Swedes watched the final

That’s pretty impressive, given that there are only 10,4 million of us and that the game started at 02.30 am.

Important milestone today! The EU has ratified the free trade agreement with Mercosur! 8-) No more tariffs on trade between the 27 EU member states and the four members of Mercosur, ie Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. For the South American countries this is mainly a huge opportunity to ...

Do you think Grip Skylark realized when she posted that, that 47 days of Academy training is more than double the *up to 4 x 5 days plus a bit of hand holding with the warm rolls and butter? *If you're not a card carrying moron you probably get through that process in half the time. LOL, if you ...

It’s a tragedy that Amy died so young.
