I'm not saying it's perfect but it works ok for many people.

I'm happy with it. Course I've had 2 major and 3 minor surgeries, and a few broken things in 25ish yrs at zero charge, so that may make me biased.

Glad you're well bro. My sister had leukemia 15 years ago. If we were American she would have gone bankrupt. Do you have a family doctor?

I just moved to Nanaimo, so the search begins. I had a great one in Manitoba, good guy.

Ouch, glad you sister is well, missing work is one thing, a medical tab, can ruin you, follow you like a student loan but pricier.
That's the only cancer my family hasn't gone thru.

It's not a perfect system, beurocracy needs fixin, but overall, it's something I'm pretty sure we'll never havta deal with unlike our American counterparts.

Nanaimo? I'm in the Fraser Valley and on the Island every few weeks. You're a painter right?

Should have a beer sometime in passing. Bitch about fuel prices.

Let's do that. Give me a heads up when you're coming through.

You bet, planning on heading there next week for the long weekend, not sure if I'm flying, I may end up driving as work is a little slow and cost is about the same, and I don't mind the drive. 10 hrs exactly.

By trade, drywaller, taper, painter, finish carpentry, and airbrush artist. I travel thru the Fraser Valley every few weeks heading north to my folks. That horseshoe bay terminal is a straight shot thru, love it.

I should hook you up in the film industry where I work. Lots of paint/plastering etc.

F**k yeah, my previous landlord is tryna get me to be an extra. She was an actress on a few old shows and Slap Shot 2, I'm just afraid I'll out shine the stars. Ha ha ha. But seriously, I got skills, people skills, creative and eager.

my cuz was just in "Blue Bloods" ep 12 and "new Amsterdam" 2018 finally .
been on "the good wife", "How to get away with murder", elementary and a couple others. She got a check one day for 2k and asked the agent why? they said one of the shows was rerun in Europe , nice surprise.

Not a bad resume, all the prime time shows. They film quite a bit if shows here in Lower mainland and Island. It would be cool to extra, but at $12/hr I gotta take a pass, you need alot of spare time.

Yea, she was lucky, she graduated Julliard the yr Robin Williams died, He was such a coooooooool guy, he paid her tuition for the senior yr, he did that every yr took the top male and female actor and paid the tuition ever single year. If ppl only knew how giving the man was, he didnt want it publicized . It still hurts he is gone..

she also won the David Dukes award at USC, he was the guy that molested edith bunker in "all in the family" he died young and his widow gave an award every yr to top student ..
She did "Frankie and Johnny" play and Got to Meet Gary Marshall b4 he passed too. another icon.. rip.

Let's do that. Let me know when you're coming through.
