Re: Colonoscopy Journal:
nothing but praise for my care. never cost me a cent, other than the first visit to pay for car parking.
hate to think how much the surgery the chemo and meds really cost.
It was actually funnily enough a wonderful experience........you learn a lot about yourself looking down the dark tunnel.

Re: Colonoscopy Journal:
Very silly way to die because if they catch this one early enough you normally survive.
The s**t on a stick and send it back test can pick this one up very quickly.
Even if you have to buy the kit now....best $10 you will ever spend.....cheaper than a pack of cigarettes or three good coffees.

Re: Will you make me a sword stick/knife pair?
If it is listed as a prohibited weapon it would be an offence to possess such a prohibited weapon I would expect. It would probably be an offence to manufacture pen guns and other prohibited weapons. It may very well be an offence to manufacture a sword stick if it is a prohibited weapon. Inducing s...

with the advent of powerful 24 volt battery powered angle grinders and because you need to have doors which are weak points it is pretty hard to keep serious criminals out.

Great outcome indeed. I strongly suspect Abbey have a loyal customer for years to come. Does your lad want the longbow back?
When he does give us a yell. It was great that you guys passed on the loaner bow. Lot of sharing goes on in archery. it is great to see.
