I thought what a joke.</span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I mean I<span style="font-size: large;"> have</span> lived here all my life and the only people that have gotten hurt are maybe a handful in 50 yrs.</span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">So why waste the money and <span style="font-size: large;">do this<span style="font-size: large;">, and of course its goin<span style="font-size: large;">g to look stupid. </span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then I hea<span style="font-size: large;">rd the reas<span style="font-size: large;">on as the ha<span style="font-size: large;">rbour<span style="font-size: large;"> authority had no choice as the insur<span style="font-size: large;">ance company would not cover them for any risk <span style="font-size: large;">o<span style="font-size: large;">f people getting injured. So yes I guess they have no choice, we will be stuck with this ugly gu<span style="font-size: large;">ard rails.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><b>Horses<span style="font-size: large;">hoes for Malawi ! </span></b><span style="font-size: large;">That's in Af<span style="font-size: large;">rica.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">What <span style="font-size: large;">I am attempt<span style="font-size: large;">ing to do is raise <span style="font-size: large;">money for the Salvation Army's work in Mala<span style="font-size: large;">wi A<span style="font-size: large;">frica. They have a few orphanages. there and all this money will be sent there to help with upkeep and looking after many orphans from the <span style="font-size: large;">Aids epidemic in Africa.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">So what am I doing, I will be pitching horseshoes on May 1 , Wednesday at the Greater Victoria Horseshoe Club. 620 Kenneth st. Come on out and wa<span style="font-size: large;">tch<span style="font-size: large;"> and cheer me on.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am asking you <span style="font-size: large;">help by ple<span style="font-size: large;">dging an amount for each ringer I <span style="font-size: large;">make.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I should be somewhere between 40-60 ringers in 100 shoes.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">So for instance if you <span style="font-size: large;">sponsored me for <span style="font-size: large;">20 cents a ringer that would come in at between $8 an<span style="font-size: large;">d $12. So <span style="font-size: large;">how bout helping out this worth<span style="font-size: large;">w<span style="font-size: large;">hile ca<span style="font-size: large;">use. For every dol<span style="font-size: large;">lar sent to Malawi would be like 10 times what its worth here. Imagine if we sent a few hund<span style="font-size: large;">red dollars that would be like a few thousand dollars.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

And in the TV land its always hard. So here I am trying to come up with a che<span style="font-size: large;">ap solution for my TV viewing. </span></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">With me being of Scottish heritage I don't want to spend a lot.</span></span></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">So here was my problem, we have got<span style="font-size: large;">ten into watching netflix. And it usually required us to t<span style="font-size: large;">ake the wii console off of <span style="font-size: large;">our sons <span style="font-size: large;">(yes adoption final) tv and hook it up on the main tv to watch netflix. So without<span style="font-size: large;"> b<span style="font-size: large;">uyi<span style="font-size: large;">ng a new HD TV yet , ours s<span style="font-size: large;">till works great. <span style="font-size: large;">The w<span style="font-size: large;">ii ho<span style="font-size: large;">oked up fine with the comp<span style="font-size: large;">osite connections.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></b><br />
