Some say, you can never go home again, but I heard this beautiful rendition by Peter One, He just says “Don’t go ho home, don’t go home for there is nothing for you there”.I have spent the past few months trying to fry chicken the way my grandmother did. She had a simple recipe but my chicken does not turn out the way that I expect it to be. I have cheated and used buttermilk to help coat my chicken but I am not getting that brown color my grandmother used to get. The taste is fine, but the lack of color is like going to a fancy ballroom and seeing people underdressed.
Well, I will not tell you about my attempt to make the gravy my grandmother used to make. She would blackened some sugar, then added water and other ingredients and end up with a tasty and nice looking brown sauce. My final product is nowhere near the neighborhood.
Try as much as I can, but I cannot make it back.Peter One (Don’t go home)

Stopped drinking, but the best blues are when you are alone with a couple of beers to play with.. used to bring tears to my eyes.
Hopefully, you had a life rich enough that you play some of the songs that you live.
Enjoy the day.

I have had 15 injections in one eye and 3 in the other.
Hopefully I have been getting the good treatment.
Tampered eye drugs put countless patients at risk
A CBC News investigation has uncovered a dose-splitting operation involving eye injections used to treat a condition that affects millions of Canadians. Chris O’Neil-Yates details how the Ontario-based tampering operation put countless Newfoundland and Labrador patients at risk.

OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says the country welcomed more than 145,000 immigrants during the first three months of the year.
That’s the highest number for a single quarter on record, since comparable data became available in 1972.

Man Hants, seems like you have this thread all to yourself.
Hope your eye problems are not serious. My son had detached retinas last year. -
@ Dame Bajans,
I have Macular degeneration and have been getting injections into the eyes once a month.
There is no cure but so far my sight is still okay.Thanks to OHIP I don’t have to pay for the treatment.

Hang in there Hants.

Thanks David,
Ontario is a good place to live for those of us with serious health issues.

Comrade/Commander Hants
My prayers and well wishes are for you. -
Thanks Theo,

Hants, so sorry to hear about your eye problems. One good thing is that in Ontario you will get the best treatment available at no cost to you.
My nephew at 20 went deaf in both ears from a bout of meningitis. He was fitted with two cochlear implants at a cost of $40k each. He gets them replaced every year at no cost. His latest models are blue tooth and his calls go right to his hearing aids.
My male friend suffers from aHUS and the medication costs $28k every two weeks. This is all through OHIP, although his doctors had to write the ministry with test results to get approval and have the province pay for the infusions. There is no cure and the medication will only slow down the progress of the condition. If he were in the US, he would have died from kidney failure already.
We have to be thankful we live in Canada and especially, in Ontario.
