I tried biting on it, but no chocolate came out

But seriously...

Canada: the medal was administered by the Chancellery of Honours at Rideau Hall and was awarded to Canadians who made a significant contribution to their fellow citizens, their community, or to Canada over the previous fifty years.[6] Various organizations were invited to propose the names of candidates for the medal; this included all levels of Canadian government, educational and cultural organizations, the Canadian Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, veterans' groups, sports associations, and philanthropic and charitable bodies.[4] Of the 46,000 medals issued, approximately 9,600 medals were awarded to members of the Canadian Forces according to a system that distributed them proportionately by service (navy, army, air force), rank, and years of service, occupations, and regular force and reservists, including Rangers and honorary appointees.

That's awesome, what an honor. Congratulations!

C'mon now, Peg. It's like pulling teeth with you, lol. So, what fast food franchise? Where did you see Garth Brooks? What was your splurge?

McDonald's is the fast food place.
When I moved to Tennessee I worked at a hotel where his relatives were staying for his renewal of vows with his wife. He came there to see them.
My splurge was on this puppy. Spent way to much for stuff for her.
Sorry I didn't explain.

No problem, sometimes I don't make my questions clear enough. I was just curious. Cool Garth story, though. My grandfather bumped into George Jones at a diner in Tennessee, once.

Rehoboth Beach, Maryland. Fun - yes, indeed!!

It is Rehobeth Beach, Delaware, not Maryland. Maryland has Ocean City.
Rehobeth is about 45 minutes from me.

I didn't talk to Garth or anything, I just saw him there. I don't like country music, so I just didn't even want to talk to him.
