But, on the other side, I would like to say to the members of the board that the meals were dread- ful. Anyone that is sick deserves better. Why not give us a poached egg . instead of the egg that is on the plate - take the cover off and you will see a small mountain of egg that I am sure even a chicken has never laid eyes on. Perhaps we could spend $30,000 on beautiful eggs from a farmer. I had my first meal - two or three pieces of pork that after I had eaten it - I was sure some of it was sawdust - I had the hic- cups most of the day. If the board does not agree with me they might take a week's holi- day in the hospital and eat what the patients eat. I was in with a patient and said to her, "Is your coffee good?" She said I have it three times a day because the tea is worse. It is no laughing matter. How can we change this? Perhaps Seaforth hospital could be the first to com- plain. When I worked at the Seaforth hospital for 10 years, I don't remember Ruth Thorburn ever throwing away food and now I understand 45 per cent of the food is thrown out. If that's not correct, you might add my 99 and a quarter I left. I suppose everyone will think I have had a bad week - not so. I have another beef - I wanted to buy my great grandchildren an Easter card - almost impossible unless you are near a Christian book store. I did buy Easter cards for my older friends, (not nearly as old as I). The children's cards are all about Eater bunnies. I wrote on my cards to the chil- dren the story of Easter and how Jesus died and arose on the third day. I had bone cancer when I was 29 and the doctors told my hus- band Norman I had a month to live. Now, if I had relied on the Easter bunny and Santa Claus to help me I am sure I wouldn't have reached the age of 85. I give God all the glory.

It's not like if you don't win, a representative from Tim Hortons comes to your house and takes away you vehicle or TV. All you've lost is the dollar and change you spent in the first place, and would have spent anyway, promotion or not. Look at our sol- diers situated in Afghanistan. Soon Tim Hortons will be setting up there, so our troops can enjoy a warm cup of coffee, and hopefully it gives them even the slightest feeling of home as they work for peace and risk their lives. I just wish we could bring those soldiers home and send the dis- puting parents to Afghanistan. Maybe then they would gain some perspec- tive. Oh well, enjoy your coffee and the promotion, but don't let it bring out the worst in you.
