An English~Canadian Man's Experience Of A Lifetime, 1953 - 2025

A Practicum In Anthropology

Developing an End Of Life Style, from the Cradle to the Grave. ..

What's the difference between Composing and Composting?

Composing involves putting things together, whereas Composting involves something else. ..

Developing an End Of Life Style = Un-Learning ALL the habits that were ROTE learned during OUR working lives, but does NOT mean giving up & doing nothing; doing nothing isn't fun. ..

It means re-discovering our "inner child" and developing ourselves, except we have a lifetime of educational experience to reflect upon. ..

In an attempt to manage CHRONIC pain, I have CONTROLLED every body movement I have made since 1981, based upon Medical guidance, since my back was injured at work lifting a rear-axle spring off of a school bus. It was too heavy for me to lift in the 1st. place, however, I was determined to get the bus back on the road "tonight" & that meant me getting the rear-axle spring installed. Once I managed to get the spring off the ground & onto my shoulder it dug into my shoulder too far [it hurt my shoulder too much to bear the weight] and I needed to drop the rear-axle school bus spring. Next morning my back was gone, using shop English, & I've been living with CHRONIC or continuous back pain ever since. ..

In 2003 my neck was injured in a MVA [motor vehicle accident], and since then, the only comfortable way for me to work is supine, making me unemployable pretty much. <--- Being made unemployable induces FEAR in my body because it threatens my chances of survival & my immune system responds appropriately with joint pain due to inflammation of the joints when they react to viruses previously used in Biological Warfare = MEASLES = German MEASLES = Red MEASLES, pardon me, latent and principally benign "viruses" wanting to get out of my body and move on before I'm DEAD, using shop English. ..

So these days I'm beginning to flex my limbs, & for me, that = always moving pretty much, although ever so slowly. ..

 


The Transient Return Of The Ring by the Garbutt Family. ..

Mike Garbutt -AKA- Riff Vandal on facebook, immigrated to Canada from the United Kingdom in his mid 20's, and shortly afterwards met a young woman, fell in love and married. Mike spent the next 43 years of his life in a monogamous relationship which is ongoing, as a responsible and accountable husband and father to a Wife one Son Two K9s, 4 felines, birds and lots of flora too. ..

Mike has lived & worked for 52 years of his life away from home on the road, during which time he saved enough money (when he could find a job!) so as to be able to afford 15 years of post-secondary education; 15 years full-time education living and working away from home on the road, 5 years living and working away from Home in London, UK studying Automotive Technology and 10 years in Healthcare in Calgary & Edmonton, Alberta, Canada where he spent the most recent 40 years either working as a Medical Laboratory Scientist a Medical Researcher & Vaccine Developer where he helped develop an efficacious EBOLA vaccine that's saved hundreds of thousand of lives in the DRC so far and as a palliative care musician amid vulnerable people with limited functional capacities for 15 years & every aspect of Canada's politics, healthcare, justice & police state, His Home. ..

Plus, Mike served the community for 26 years playing host on the Musicians Network (Winnipeg, MB), which nowadays has a facebook page sharing local Winnipeg memes. ..

Its hard to believe that the first of two career ending work related injuries I've sustained in my life occurred 40+ years ago this year. Then after I hurt my back humping a rear axle truck spring on my own (hot tip = don't do that!) I spent 10 agonizing years sitting down in the classroom becoming a medical scientist and vaccine developer to earn an income (hot tip = definitely don't do that!!)

I've also spent time at home, schooling myself on Canadian culture and whatnot, and I reckon 43 years serving in Monogamy in Canada in Animal Husbandry & Matrimony as a responsible and accountable parent & partner of a Wife, a Son, Two K9s, 4 felines, birds and lots of flora too, and worked in Canada's Healthcare system for 30+ years, during which time he earned 3 Medical Science degrees and 4 diplomas in Automotive Mechanics and Medical Laboratory Sciences, where he once again, won the most proficient student graduating in the final year practicing medical laboratory science from SAIT and The Calgary General Hospital between 1984 & 1986 deserves celebrating. ..

Please lead by example, follow with respect, be at home with yourself and keep your guard up, tell the truth, support your position, stand your ground and watch your back too, take care, be kind and enjoy life, it's its own reward. ..

And please remember that there are only crimes and twists of fate. ..
