Hi Joyce, >In the winter when there is ice and snow. I am in Winnipeg, Manitoba > >Canada, above North Dakota. I'm Canadian too. Never been to Manitoba, but used to live in central Ontario. 200 miles north of Toronto. I well appreciate the disabiling effects of Canadian winters. During my time in Ont, I would be housebound for weeks on end while in winter's evil clutches. Getting out was a huge undertaking. Wheelchairs/scooters and snow don't mix too well. On top of all that, cold make my lungs spasm, I had to stay home just to breathe sometimes. Back in those days I discovered this list. It kept me in the world, and feeling connected, something I very much needed. One year my MD suggested I take Prozac to help me through another winter. I knew then, it was time to leave. I live near Vancouver now. I'll take rain over snow any day! Peace, Vince -------------------------- Alladvantage # f v v 378 ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
