Carl's Scribbles: November 2009

http://cwsmith.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

I'll Rant and I'll Roar, like a true Newfoundlander! Monday, November 2, 2009. The Effects of H1N1. It is now Monday morning so I have had the shot over 3 days ago, and the effects are still with me. Immediately after getting the shot, my arm felt like someone took a hammer to it. I was surprised by the amount of pressure the needle had as it was going in. About 15 minutes after, I had trouble lifting my arm. Later that evening I had to go to work. But that's a whole other topic! Posted by Carl Smith.

I'll Rant and I'll Roar, like a true Newfoundlander! Thursday, December 31, 2009. Working the night shift is a very silent and sometimes creepy experience, much like a graveyard would be. Of course it doesn't help when you work in a converted church! I think the main reason I like it is that it's quiet. It's a good time to relax. I am not rushed; I have 8 hours to do 1 hour worth of work! I have time to have a good conversation with a guest, read a book, or even do a bit of writing. I will admit though t...

Carl's Scribbles: January 2012

I'll Rant and I'll Roar, like a true Newfoundlander! Monday, January 9, 2012. A New John Grisham Fan. I've always been interested in the law, but just recently read a John Grisham book. I have a E-Reader, the Kobo; and I just happened to read a preview of The Litigators. Sounds like an interesting read so I purchased it and it was one of the most interesting books I have ever read. That's when I did a little reading on the author and discovered. All his books are legal thrillers. So I am looking forward ...

I'll Rant and I'll Roar, like a true Newfoundlander! Wednesday, October 20, 2010. Well there is a reason people on television sound so good and things flow from their mouths like they are the worlds best speakers; they have a written script that they practise before going on camera. Unfortunately I didn't have a script or very much time to figure out what I wanted to say, hence the "uhs", "ums" and fumbling with the words in my 49 seconds of fame! So to answer my original question; Why do I give blood?

Carl's Scribbles: Weight Loss....Again.

http://cwsmith.blogspot.com/2016/01/weight-lossagain.html

I'll Rant and I'll Roar, like a true Newfoundlander! Thursday, January 7, 2016. It's a new year and once again I've started to try and lose weight. It's not easy. 16 years ago I gave up smoking, cold turkey. Even though I tried many times, I finally succeeded. At least with cigarettes, or anything you smoke, when you want to quit, you can just elect to stay away from it. Not so with food. Mind you, I love my job but it can get very boring. And what do I do when I'm bored? My brain said "Hey that's not to...

I'll Rant and I'll Roar, like a true Newfoundlander! Thursday, December 29, 2011. Well it's been a year since I last had an entry in my blog. That's sad because it seems as I always have a opinion on something. And due to my job; working midnight to 8am, I have plenty of time to write. So my new, New Year's Resolution will be to write more in my blog. Anyway thought I would do a resolution of writing in my blog for the coming year. Adios 2011, welcome to 2012! Posted by Carl Smith.

I'll Rant and I'll Roar, like a true Newfoundlander! Friday, October 19, 2012. The Old Man and The Cell Phone. This is a true story. Just happened tonight. I wish I had videotaped it. I had tears in my eyes. Not from feeling sorry for the old bugger, but from the laughter it generated! Posted by Carl Smith. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Carl's Scribbles: February 2012

http://cwsmith.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

I'll Rant and I'll Roar, like a true Newfoundlander! Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Thirty one years ago today, the drill rig, Ocean Ranger, sank in a vicious storm off the coast of Newfoundland. All 84 crew members on board were lost. Many bodies were never recovered. It was February 15, 1982 and I remember it. I was just 16 years old at the time. The winter storm had closed schools for the day. I was happy, a snow day! It seems that everyone who was born during this time will remember the Ocean Ranger D...
