I'll have 1 of those

There used to be a joke my siblings would use to get me upset. "What does Elmer Fudd say When he sees Randy Walking down the Street? There goes Wandy the Wubberhead wunning awong"
Not knowing it then,that was there way to toughen me up. I learned early I was different from everybody else. but instead of using it a negative. i used my situation as a positive. If i knew people were standoffish I'm always cracking jokes that hopefully eases peoples mind then there ok with asking questions. You can ask people that are in my life that it's not even anything they think about anymore. Yes I have minimal use to the left side of my body, but I've never considered myself to having a handicap. There are some cases where I have more use in my 1 arm then you do with 2. I have a job, I've worked on the farm, throwing bails, cleaning pens. I've been a custodian for 9 years. I've also worked in Radio, I've never been one to let my capability's let me down.
I'm always trying to get people to laugh or think What just happened. When i was living in North Bay, I would go to the local Fast Food restaurants and put in an order with my left Hand. I would ask for 1 of those pointing in all directions. (with all my fingers) I would usually try to have someone i know behind me in line, most times they wouldn't know it was coming and would not be impressed. I would  always wait for the cashier to ask the person behind if they knew which combo I was looking for. Then my favourite  the look on the person's face that I had come to the restaurant with. a lot of the times I would be walking home but I would always enjoy the Free Apple Pie that was given to me. I wonder why no one will go to fast Food restaurants with me anymore?

Who I am

I could go on and on about these stories but, but everyone wouldn't know what was going on or who this was. My name is Randy P. I live in a rural town North of Toronto with my Wife, our 10 month old Son. and our dog Chester. We have been married 2 years in August. I have 4 other siblings 3 brothers and 1 sister. 2 of my brothers are on the farm, the brother closest in age to me is on the farm I grew up on. and my oldest brother is on the farm next door. My sister lives on the water not too far by. my other brother was killed in a car accident when I was 13, he was 21.
I have had 5 major brain surgery's all before the age of 18. one of my first operations when I was less then a year caused me to have a stroke and have minimal use to the left side of my body.
I hope you enjoy some of the stories and that will help you to get to know me a little more.

The Party Trick

I was Curling over the weekend, It makes the winter just fly by, of course after the games over you sit and social with the teams you played against. i was telling some of the adventure's that have happened to me over the years. (keep in mind I'm going to start using Initials because it was confusing for some of my followers)
One thing B.C. and I like to do when we are out a party where not a lot of people know me. I call it the party Trick i have minimal use to my left side we'll get chatting to people and I'll start trying to drink my social with my left hand. most people are caught off guard and why I'm even attempting to do this is a question that is 98% always asked. #1) I love to see the look on peoples face. 2)It is a great method of Physio. F.Y.I I have successfully drank with my left at least 3 times.
It is B.C.'s goal in life for me to flash him the finger with the left. I am so close to being successful because of help of Botox. Anyway kids i hope you enjoyed this story as I did wring it. until next time.
Randy.P

Ohh so your that guy!

I've been with  Madame now just over 3 years. we've been married for a 1yr and a half. Three years prior from meeting madame. a bunch of the boys and i decided to go to one of the Junior Farmer Dances people were always talking about. After a few socials and having to pull my friend Forest off the D.J. for not playing any Country Music. I had a noticed a girl waiting for 1 of her friends, so I approached her and got chatting  asked to have her Number. We had set up a date to go out. On the day of the date I had received a phone call from some friends who were going to help me do some work to my living space. And that was the only day they were able to do the job, So i had told the girl I had to drywall my basement. We never got around to do that date.
Come forward 3 years, i had just got out of an engagement, I was taking as I called "The year of Randy" I had got through the year I received a phone call from my mom, "Can you pick up in the morning? I'm dropping the car off to get looked at. and oh yeah I have this girl I want you to meet it's 1 of my co-workers"
When Madame and i started dating she would come up to the School for a coffee, before she would head south. One of the times she came up she mentioned that her sister wasn't impressed that we were dating. and my response was oh yeah why would this be? Madame's response was well Your the Drywall Guy.
To this day it's an ongoing joke with her Family.. But we realized now that it wouldn't have worked between us. she was the Maid of Honour at our wedding and 1 of Wee-Man's Crazy Aunt's. Madame has even said it became a running joke when ever they didn't want to do anything.

Fur Baby to that Damn Dog

Madame and I work opposite shifts. we do spend 8 hours a day together but most of that is sleeping. A decision was made that we should get a pet. Along came Chester, a blond Cocker Spaniel, he came groomed a little over weight because he was found in downtown Scarborough. He was going to be our companion when the other one was at work. He's been a great dog for us, we take him most places that will allow him to come along. up until 10 months ago he was Chez, or our Fur Baby. And then Came Wee-Man, and all of a sudden he's now that Damn Dog. We don't love him any less and he's still a good boy especially around kids (except 10yr olds) Our priorities had been shifted to taking care of Chez, to really having to care of the boy. Chez gets a tad jealous every now and again but mostly he's good. he'll shred a few things if he's mad at us. but that's our fault for leaving it on the ground.
I've been noticing while I've been off, how Wee-Man is so intrigued by Chez, today I watched Wee-Man follow Chez all around the living room. Chester would be in his Chair, Wee-Man would climb the furniture so that he could say hi. so Chez would jump to another piece of furniture in the house and he would proceed to motor over to say hi. i sat and watched the 2 of them playing this game for just shy of an hour. I'm thinking it's not going to be long til that the dog will no longer be mine but wee-Man's instead

There was this 1 time.

You know there's trouble when the sentence starts off with There was this 1 time we were drinking beer. LB and i were trying to think of a time where are adventures had ever started without that sentence. well my friends I have finally thought of one. There was 1 time we set a car on fire, not on purpose of course, He had a car, and I had a field. there was a teacher's strike so we weren't in school, so some of the boys and i decided hey lets take the car and have a field car. so we loaded it up got it out to the farm. got driving and got it stuck in a pile of manure. The tractor got us pulled out. and on our way we go once more. It was LB's turn to drive and i was the co-pilot. out of no where 1 of the other lads comes running up to the car and taps on the window. you better get out the cars on fire, we had firetrucks, a small little bonfire. and of course picture evidence. I'm still a little bitter about the whole thing I was next to be the driver and my G&R Use your Allusions 2 cassette melted in the process.

Sharing my stories...

So I've been planning to write down my stories for some time now. I'm off on Paternity leave so I thought if I'm going to do it then this is the time.
I've been trying to think up things that have happened to me. Please Keep in mind I won't be using real names.
Madame and Wee-Man and I went to a St. Patty's day party in the city. Everyone was having a good social in the Dining room, It was my turn to Change wee-man, I went to the living room so that I was out of the way of everyone. Wee-Man has discovered that he can crawl in the last week. So while I was attempting to change him he got away from me, the next thing i remember is I'm holding Wee-man in my arms and we had shattered glass everywhere. I had got a hold of him and leaned back too far and caught the middle Shelf of the entertainment unit. by the time I had returned to the dining room It had become an epic story with severed limbs and broken glass.
I am proud to say that no people or any electronics were harmed.
