Club Q Q107-Loyalty Club (Southern ON Only) v2

[Lee03]

Thanks everyone for the reps and words today.... We're back from nanna's 91st birthday party.... bless her soul...

Nanna has Alzheimer's and I'm sure had no idea who anyone was.... she said that she thought her twin sister would pop by today, but figured that she probably went to the states... (her twin sister has been dead more than 30 years....) She hugged her eldest son today when he came in and told everyone that he was her daddy..... Alzheimer's is such a tough disease.... especially for people like nanna that are otherwise very healthy....

I wish I had my camera on video instead of camera mode when we brought out the cake... there were two candles on top - a 9 and a 1... we told nanna to blow them out, but she was having such a hard time and couldn't blow, so she took her teeth out....

Everybody was hysterics for the rest of the party.... definitely would have been an AFV winner!!!

I had the Q on in the van on the way up north today, and I swore I heard Andy say that this was the final week for the trip every day contest. Did anyone else hear that too?? Isn't this only the second week??

I tried to find something in the rules and regulations, but couldn't....

Goodnight everyone.

[TO_Harley]

It's an indoor kind of day. The kind of day where it is permissable to stay in your jammies until at least noon.

A good day to go to the movies with your honey. Isn't this just a gem of a picture?

Attachment 39644

Pape & Danforth, must have been in the early 60's, judging from what is playing at the theater.

I just love these old pictures, wherever do you find them Loocie?

Guess they only had 10 trips to give away. Don't know what will happen this week, I may try to get up earlier to take part in the 107th caller if I can, but that's pretty early for me!


H-Team- thanks for your info on the trivia I was asking about!

from what I remember (without looking back through the posts) only two people (out of 5) didn't beat Ryan.... I was up early one day last week and heard one of the winners..... I'm not very good at trivia, but I think I even knew these answers - so it did seem pretty easy.....

Good Luck!!!

A suspected natural gas explosion tore through the lobby of a Mexican resort Sunday, killing seven people. Five Canadians were among the dead, including a nine-year-old boy.

Another eight Canadians were injured in the blast, and two are in critical condition.

The explosion occurred shortly after 9:30 a.m. local time at the 676-room Grand Riviera Princess Hotel in Playa del Carmen, which lies on the Yucatan peninsula south of Cancun.
Along with the nine-year-old child, a 51-year-old man and two men between the ages of 25 and 30 were among the Canadians killed at the hotel, according to Jesus Puc, the director of the civil protection agency. Two Mexicans also died.
Edmonton resident Gene Hoffman told CTV News Channel that he had more than 20 relatives at the resort, including his brother and sister.
After the blast, his brother found his sister "bleeding on the sidewalk" and she was transported to Cancun for medical treatment.
"She has a collapsed lung, severe internal injuries, a few broken ribs and severe lacerations to her face," Hoffman said.
His sister's grandson, who is two years old, was also hurt in the explosion and is being treated at another hospital in Cancun.
Francisco Alor, attorney general for the state of Quintana Roo, said that investigators were examining whether a build-up of natural gas from a swamp near the hotel may have led to the explosion.
At least 60 Canadian tourists from Ontario's Kitchener-Waterloo region were staying at the hotel, while reports say other guests were from Alberta, Winnipeg and Quebec. WestJet spokesperson Richard Bartrem said more than 400 Canadians had booked vacations at the resort through his company.
Ray Hamblin from Toronto was in the adjacent restaurant when the blast occurred.
"Everybody was enjoying their breakfast and basically there was a loud explosion," Hamblin told CTV News Channel in a telephone interview from Mexico Sunday afternoon. "It sounded like lightning struck right beside you."
The blast blew out 12-foot glass windows separating the lobby from the restaurant, Hamblin said.
Freelance journalist Ioan Gillo said between 15 and 20 people were taken to hospitals in the area.
In a video of the aftermath posted on YouTube, part of a roof around one of the resort's buildings has collapsed, and glass and debris are scattered along common areas. Victims can also be seen being loaded onto ambulances that line a driveway.
Mark Bingeman said he witnessed people being pulled out of the debris, covered in cement dust.
"There didn't appear to be any structural damage" to the building, he said. "But certainly everything was just devastated inside."
The explosion left a four-foot deep crater in the ground, according to guest James Gaade, who estimated that at least half of the guests at the resort were Canadian.
Staff at the hotel have evacuated the main building and an adjoining building, and have cleared the lawn in front the explosion site. Guests were being relocated to rooms in other areas of the resort.
A spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs said officials are monitoring reports of the explosion.
Lisa Monette told The Canadian Press that the consulate in Playa del Carmen is prepared to provide consular assistance to any Canadians staying at the hotel.
"We are aware that a number of Canadians are at the Grand Riviera Princess and are endeavouring to determine if any have been affected," Monette said.
Anyone seeking information about Canadians who may have been staying at the Grand Riviera Princess Hotel can call DFAIT at 1-800-387-3124.

[ecat444]

yes, terrible explosion in Mexico today. I just heard about it as I was out all day walking around downtown and Kensington Market area. That explosion must have been a terrible shock, so sudden and 8 people were killed! That hotel is not far from the one I will be going to in January or February.

Well, gotta go a few things to do before I go to sleep and try to get up for Stump the Chump tomorrow! Good Night All!
