I'm half Can-eh-dian, but I think you mean Canucks close by. I hope you are able to find some kind of help and camaraderie. Bless!

Thanks so much for the "lecture." I needed it. Seriously.

He said they looked like frisbees that had been held over an open flame and had twisted and turned at odd angles. He never went into details about it, so I don't know if there is a name...
