The best of luck on that. You'll need to log back quickly to let us know you're okay.I’m going in for a carotid artery unblock in a few weeks, let’s go with observation for now.
Observation.
Aye, The Spirit Killer; she's sent for the..ahem..more difficult cases.Probably not and it was my ex-wife. Her bloodline comes from a fury volcano, flowing with torturous lava that kills the spirit of anyone who comes close. Her real name is Brenda…….. shiver!

I found my b-mom's side through the Adoption Registry Reunion people in BC where I was born. They contacted the oldest son who got one of his sister's who lives here in Alberta just a couple hours away to contact me by email. We had plans to meet up but got our wires crossed and didn't then things kind of fizzled out and contact stopped. I find it odd that out of 5 half siblings none want contact but if that's the way it goes so be it.
My birth mother is Scottish but I really have no idea about my dad's side. Only know that he was born in Sask. and was twice my mother's age when they met in BC. Always consider myself Scottish but could be half Ukrainian for all I know. Lots of Ukrainians in Sask for sure. I got the red hair and freckles so the Scottish side is strong.
The only way I'd have to find out about that side is thru something like Ancestry.
I have had a couple of kids in my younger years I've never met so maybe I'll finally meet them too. Whether that would be good or not . . .
Because you bring fear, chaos and the unknown. You may want something from them. It goes for the half siblings and unknown children. If you've done the one Ancestry test you have all the info you need and now the world has access to it. If someone is looking for you they will no doubt be in contact.I found my b-mom's side through the Adoption Registry Reunion people in BC where I was born.

Go in peace friend don't let this weigh on your mind if it has. Concentrate on the life you have now and making it the best of what has been given even if it's just you and a little pet. It's grounding. Everyone needs this. Lonely? We're all lonely- why do you think we have our little happy group here?

here's an insight from the other side...
my real father was abusive, and a bigamist..my mother left him when i was 3. she tried to go back to him when i was 5, which went about like you would imagine...some of my earliest memories are of them fighting. they broke up again in a fight that saw my mother in the hospital for a couple of days.
when i was 14, my mother told me she had gotten a letter from one of his children from the other wife...she showed it to me, as it was really to me.
he wanted to "get to know me"...and suggested that he could tell me about "our" father....i threw it in the fire and never looked back. i know as much as i want to know about him, and anyone who took the time to "get to know" the woman beating, lying bigamist, is someone i don't have time to give a fuck about.
not saying this is your situation at all, but not everyone is eager to get to know the "other family"...
and yes, i've been the same asshole since i was a kid...no tolerance for people's bullshit, even 43 years ago

I haven't done any DNA test yet. Turned out the b-mom's family hadn't settled the estate yet and with the timing they may have thought that I was looking for a piece of the pie but I told them I wasn't. If mom goes before I do I'll get a nice hunk of pie from her but I'm not holding my breath for that. I'd like to see her make 100 and that's only a few years away.
I should have made contact 30 years ago then at least could have talked to my b-mom. Let her know everything worked out fine for me regarding the family I grew up in. Lots of babies up for adoption in the 50s. She lived in Prince George but I was born in Vancouver at teh Grace hospital famous for hosting unwed mothers. She was diagnosed with dementia at 65 and passed 10 years later. Hoping I didn't get those genes!
68 now and seem to have all my marbles yet and a recent brain MRI didn't find anything too abnormal in there. Didn't find much in there at all. I'm sorry to hear that. I wish my parents had chosen a child already here rather than self cloning on the fly to avoid war and shitty parents.I haven't done any DNA test yet.

It doesn't matter what you told them which is why they drifted. Sadly, they didn't want to make another cut that legally you'd be possibly entitled to. People are clan-ish; part of the human condition.
In America, it wasn't open to unwed motherhood like Vancouver- Canada has always been Progressive head and shoulders above America when it comes to human rights. I know @CunningCanuk will say what about about the treatment of Natives, but what we did was way worse- still is. I laugh my ass off when Native populace gets pissed and closes off a main highway through res..payback!
So your MRI, there were no plaques? Was it completely normal? I'm a Neuro patient so I have an interest.
As for DNA test? My daughter did it for me unsuspectingly. 50% of what she is, is 100% me. All I had to do was remove the information regarding ancestry from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and France (my ex husband); the balance of countries are mine. I have no interest in being contacted by anyone whether here in America or abroad.

I dunno. Despite the article, you guys are sitting pretty with all that area north of sixty.Canadians Could Be Climate Migrants, Too | The Tyee

What’s the deal with Nunavut? When I was a kid, the Northwest Territory was the biggest thing on the map, not counting eastern Siberia. I feel an odd but definite sense of loss seeing a line of demarcation across all that formerly wonderful empty map.

====Original Report====
MRI Brain
Technique: sagittal T1; Axial T2, T1 and dark fluid[FLAIR]. Axial T2. Followed by postcontrast axial and coronal T1
Comparison study: CT from 2013 (had a small stroke then)
Findings:
There is scattered periventricular and subcortical white matter hyperintense foci, likely small vessel ischemic change.
There is a stable arachnoid cyst in the middle cranial fossa. No abnormal enhancement.
No hydrocephalus
Mucosal thickening in the frontal sinuses. Mastoid air cells are clear.
Orbits and globes appear normal.
Impression:
Mild chronic small vessel ischemic change.
Stable arachnoid cyst in the left cranial fossa.
Our local nurse practitioner ordered the scan to check for MS as I have some symptoms related to it but doesn't look like that's the issue. Some muscle numbness, balance and body position awareness problems and bumping into and dropping things more than I used to. She seems to think the scan is pretty normal for a 68 yo guy so I'm not too worried about it.
Have an appt in early march to see a GI specialist about my diverticulitis issues which are the most problematic for me now. That is quite literally a PITA!
I just want to find out about my b-dad's origins and not really too worried about meeting any of his other sperm donations.
Any health issues too.

It's hard to imagine the Hudson Bay being beachfront property. It's civility during mass migrations that may be an issue - limitations to adaptation due to acceleration of climate change.

If anyone can figure out how to turn the conflict with a confused climate into a civil war, it’ll be our neighbors to the north.
Your greatest challenge, of course, is striding into the lair of the cobra chicken: a demon of the ancient world, quoth Gandalf. This foe is beyond all of you.

The Stupid's are doing their thing again. Really wish the media would just ignore these ass shats, it's embarrassing on many different levels, just unoriginal wankers. Check out that POS stated date of birth, has to be a troll account, right?
