How To Protect People From Themselves.



Judging from the last summit meeting and by videos such as these, people do not want government to do the right thing by them. They make our Prime Minister look like an evil man.
In whose best interest is it to do this if not the devils?
Who tends to gain here?
Remember, God is out of it. He gave Adam and Eve rights to fight for survival and learn the hard way to do the right thing. To think before they act . Learn not to fall into the snakes' temptation and hypnotic trance he wants man in, to follow his rules, in chaos.

People according to this video, want freedom to self destruct.
They are the guy in the tower, telling lies to themselves and others.
So if they self destruct who will they be taking with them?

Where are the rights of people who reject drugs? Will any be left? Or will we have to continue to pay more and more for their mistakes and die as well?
Is this democracy and liberty we are fed to believe in?
We fight for freedom to make a better world. If it's not better and people enslave themselves through drugs, then what's the difference?
These are lies. Democracy and liberty requires rules, regulations , laws and especially good will, to work.
Otherwise
We don't need bin Laden or Islam to do the job of destroying all us infidels.
All we need are these selfless Liberals, who say everything is ok and make millions, laughing their way to the bank, while watching
people fall over themselves , killing each other for legal drugs.
It makes as much sense as saying invest in China instead of your own country if you don't want to end up poor.
NO! invest in your own country and in your own people.

How is a man, trying to do the right thing, viewed as a man who ends democracy and liberty?
Does not liberty require laws to make it work for every one?
Does it not require a thinking educated man?
How do you think and educate yourself under the influence of some drug?
How do you run a business.? How do you run government? How do you hire policemen to defend you or teachers to teach you, if everyone is high?

What kind of mentality do we have in society today, which fears laws to make living safe, productive, clean, and comfortable?

These evil people, pretend to be our friends, while killing our children, and destroying the fabric of society, piece by piece.

Drugs should NEVER be legalized.

People will not make money out of it but society will have to spend tons on fixing all the broken people, children, lack of employment skills, corruption and fraud in companies by employees who need money to buy more drugs, computer ID fraud, forcing people into poverty through deception and lies.
Literally .......Hell on earth.

There are always those who spoil good things for the rest of the people. That's a fact and they don't care about democracy or liberalism but first to use slogans to instill fear into people.
Look at what this BAD MAN is doing.
He is working to keep you safe.
What a BAD MAN!
Well I elected him to be a leader and a bad man if he is working to stop drugs reaching my children.

This is not a time to be negligent, naive, trusting.......believing that people who say everything is ok, is indeed ok.
Drugs are never ok and our nation should be united behind our Prime Minister Harper with regard to this issue.

Just think of it this way. What is the difference if Mr Harper ends democracy and liberalism for the right reasons, or the people losing it anyway because they will be too drugged up, or walking around with fried brains, in a country with no jobs, and no control over anything?
Is our next generation to be born all defective because Mothers are taught to drink and do drugs?
We feared Quebec separating and then what.... willing give our nation away whole, to someone else because we're too high to care.
We say we can;t give people freedom if they can;t handle it.
That's our reasoning behind not allowing Iran to obtain nuclear energy and yet we want freedom to do drugs, which put our nation into the same category.
Are we to be led by people high and laughing while flipping a switch to kill millions of people?
It's insanity.
Laws are made to protect and defend people. Under these laws man can be free because he is safe to walk the streets, work, play, raise families without ugliness around him.

Our job as a nation, is to protect people from themselves.
We were always defenders of men. We went in to help people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, etc..
and what is our reward?
Passing laws to help kill our own people?
Dull our future? Live in dreamland and escapism?
That's not life!

I am very disappointed to see such things and people supporting them, defending the right to legalize drugs.
Quebec is seen as a racist province but they passed a law just now saying there is zero tolerance for anyone under 21 to have even one sip of alcohol, driving. Of course they will be sued for this but this was the right thing to do and if the judge doesn't see it this way then we have to ask what kind of judges we have? Whose side are they on if not laws to protect man from evil?

This is a good law so now what..... we legalize drugs and let people drive under another influence?
Why do people need drugs?
Should they not look into their lives to see what the underlying causes are for this need?
We never needed them before and now all of a sudden we need them?
Makes no sense at all.

We have to stand united against people who hate the thinking man.
We have a man fighting for our rights to have a healthy brain.
I'd say that's a good fight and Harper needs our support.

Well had my say.lol
Have a good one.

History - A Story of Life



The other day I watched a program on Armenia .
They always put these programs on, to teach about genocide.
They showed Christmas trees planted by different countries
recognizing that indeed a genocide took place there.

Unlike with Hitler, who made it rather clear what he was doing with and to the Jews,
Armenia warred with the Turks and I am not sure if any Turkish leader stood up to declare that all Armenians in the world, had to be annihilated off the face of the earth.

Turkey, to my knowledge, was not aiming at world control like Hitler was.
Armenians were Christians and lived in Eastern Turkey and Western Russia and they were friends with Russia which disturbed the Turks. So the Turks, wanting an all Muslim country, gathered them up and murdered them.
The young people are being taught by survivors, that it is important to keep your own land and heritage if for nothing else than posterity but then they bring in the word genocide.
Genocide is an ugly word.

When I asked my Dad about the war and where he came from, he said what ever happened to me, has nothing to do with you, You are Canadian. This is your country. So if I was to learn anything, it had to come from other people and history books. After meeting other ethnic kids, and seeing how they shook over subjects dealing with the countries their parents came from, I have to say thanks to my parents. They did not put a stone on my back. Their country, would never be mine. That land, I could never call mine, any more than the people living there, would accept me anyway.To them I am a foreigner and I will never understand what they understand.
I may have a certain heritage but my land, is the one I live in.
This land raised me, fed me,
employed me, took care of me and raised my children. If I had to make a choice as to which land I'd fight for, it would be for my Canada.

Did Kruschev try to genocide his own people in Ukraine by taking all their wheat away leaving them to starve to death? In the papers they wrote it up as Ukrainian Famine.
The end result would have been the same.Kruschev was Ukrainian.

If we are to compare this to the number of Russian men/boys who were sent to fight with basically picks and shovels, against well equipped German troops and were not allowed to be taken prisoner without being called a traitor and killed or sent to Siberia sentenced to hard labor if they went home after the war, one could say Russia was genociding its' own people.

Of course this was not the case. Russia gave orders to her soldiers, to give the last breath to save the Motherland, from the Germans. Saying it this way, put it in a different light.
The Turks might have been given the same order under the threat of spreading Armenian Christianity. Their Quran specifically teaches all non muslims must die. In the end, there can only be one for peace to reign.

Throughout history, whole armies were felled in great battles.
Do we attach genocide to them as well?
This would include a lot of nations, not just Jews and Armenians.

So countries understand the pain in Armenia but there seems to be a bit of a problem to call this what happened in Armenia an actual genocide.It was ugly unacceptable, ruthless and typical behavior to be expected of a Muslim in the face of a Christian. It was A message to all, not to live in their countries unless you are Muslim.

When I watched this program on Armenia, I saw the plaques in front of trees as acts of kindness so people could heal. I still have to question the term Genocide because I don't feel this is a term that should be thrown around.

And it got me to thinking .
What if the so called Quiet Revolution, started by Liberal Jean Lessard and refined by Renee Levesque in Quebec, was overtaken by the English speaking people?

Political books were written claiming the Quebecois were the White Niggers of America, over this French/ English issue, and if the English rounded up all the nationalists, would the Quebecois claim genocide? This is basically what they were saying to the people and to the world, that if we don;t allow them to speak Quebecois, they were a dead group of people.

It never sat well with me, that my French neighbor, who lived the same way I did if not better,
could relate himself to the slavery that took place in US, in Quebec.

If the English fought and won, again, would the Quebecois have disappeared?

"Quebecois" is relatively a new term for French Canadians born in Quebec. If you went any where in the world, you would not find a "Quebecois" in history past 200 years or so, except Quebec. lol

Instead 700,000 English speaking people quietly left Quebec and the tetes carre who stayed, are always invited politely to leave. They are replaced by new French speaking immigrants, who have no idea, that they will be asked to leave next. and so.....the Quiet Revolution. lol

If the Quebecois won and did an ethnic cleansing because they want Quebec for the true Quebecois, not immigrants, what would this be called then?
Would the White Niggers of America be then associated with genociding other ethnic people if they didn't leave Quebec of their own volition?

The Quebecois are different from the French in France. In fact, French people in France, do not call the Quebecois people, French, because of the dialect. Every French teacher from France that we had, always told us what we had in Quebec, was not French lol So why were we learning it to survive in Quebec?
I have to admit, I loved the French language, from France.

We had one beautiful, young French teacher teaching us and one day after Christmas, we heard she went skiing and got into a fatal car accident coming home from the Laurentians. All the kids were devastated. She made learning French fun and we just couldn't believe she ended her life this way, so far away from home.

Of course General De Gaulle would have liked Quebec to separate because of old wounds between France and England and he can surely be blamed for sparking this language trouble in Quebec by coming as a guest and screaming at the top of his lungs : VIVE LE QUEBEC LIBRE!
Rather evil and sly of him . :)

This began a whole new era in Quebec which also was interesting to experience and live through.
We grew and learned a lot about life and people from this social experience.
Every one ignored the Catholic Religion which was the real cause, keeping people down and uneducated.
Even today. I went home to visit my parents, and this woman saw me and walked into their house like it belonged to her, to ask me if I visited Toronto. I was going to call the police because obviously she was deranged and could one day even be dangerous but then I decided not to begin a scandal in My Dad's house. She had no weapons but she could have .
This means, speaking French will never be enough for the Quebecois. You were not a Leduc or Brebuf, or Letourneau. These are Quebec names coming from way back when it all began here in Quebec.

In some ways, this behavior resembles what's going on with Islam today and in the past.

People lay blame on everything and everyone except the real causes that create the effects, ending in war and death and it's funny because land belongs to no one. We buy it but it can be expropriated any time by the country. Land belongs to no one. In fact in Belize where they grow cacao, the people don't want to own land. They want the government to buy it off of them saying we pay taxes and then are told what to do on it.lol I thought, hmmmm.
This person probably never went past grade 6 but speaks quite intelligently.
Why do we pay 1,000,000 dollars for homes today? They are not worth the price. They say we pay for the land. Even if there is no demand they put the prices up. Well, give the land back to Canada and Canada will employ you, to take care of your place of residence.
It's a job right there computers can't do. You pay rent, and the rest of the money is yours to do as you want. Today even waitress jobs are being eliminated. Computers take the orders and you also pay the machine at the table. Servers only serve, clean tables and are now denied a tip since they don't have to socialize with the customer.

This was a summer I spent glued to the radio listening to the Pat Burns Program discussing our Quebec problem with the people of Quebec and boy did it get hot!! No one knew who Pat Burns was because he would have been shot for discussing the French issues in Quebec. He sure did a lot of yelling .

Today, we see French speaking immigrants, who replaced the exiting English speaking people, are living well in Quebec, becoming MP's etc..... and everything looks fine on the surface because Quebec belongs to Canada.

But History has shown that it always pays to be careful and to
BEWARE the Radical element,( unless you have a ruthless dictator).

Radicals do the stepping stone routine. They always have a hidden agenda. They gain power being nice and then to do the other things, people who elect and help them, know nothing about.

Stalin ( killed 7 million and suppressed 50 million). He was a nice guy.
Hitler, Alexander the Great, were also nice guys.
Renee Levesque learned a lot from Nazi Germany, etc..
Nice guy. lol They changed Dorchester Street to Renee Levesque Str.to honor him.

And Islams Quran's teaching is similar to Hitlers' ,
except they want every person converted to Muslim or turned into slaves or worse if they can get away with it according to the Quran. In a way this makes Armenias' Claim valid but it doesn't just stop at Armenians. This was an active act, to aid in eradicating Christians from the face of the earth. Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Athiests , communists etc.....lol
So is this view considered genocide if it applies to religions and not to actual ethnic people themselves?

These are discrepancies no one discusses.

Was the Genocide on Armenians against a "people or against a religion"?
The genocide claimed against the Jews was against the people as a whole by Hitler.
He didn't care if they were blonde with blue eyes or changed their religion. It was Jewish blood and it had to be eliminated off the face of the planet as if they were aliens, who landed here and a full scale war ensued to get them off the planet. No one knew the Slavs were next on his list in his mission to create an Aryan race.

In Quebec they changed the license plates from la belle province to je me souviens.
Hardly amicable to drive a car with such a license plate considering what they are implying with it. It's political and hardly speaks for our province. We have nicer things to remember.

Che Guevera said: Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel.

In Canada, we have no cruel leaders so what do the French Nationals really want?

Right now we can drive from coast to coast without borders.
Canadians are truly blessed.

Will we be left one day, with only memories of this as well?

We are only travelers and land belongs to no one.
Every one should be able to enjoy this planet amicably without hate.

And as for Armenia, the Turks will never admit to the true reasons behind what they did.
They will hide it as they always did behind, not being allowed to discuss Muhhammad and there will always be a question as to if indeed, this was a real genocide that took place there.

Genocide means to do an act of violence to eliminate a group of people. In war, revolutions etc... people die but it's never a genocide. Never total annihilation but then I haven't studied small tribes with religions which may have already been annihilated.

As far as I can see or understand, Hitler did not succeed in his genocide mission either.
He performed horrendous, unspeakable acts on a people, but he did not eliminate the Jews.
Now I will have both Jews and Armenians mad at me lol

I am a person who doesn't like secrets. If you have to keep a secret,then it must be because it's offensive to someone . It's nice to be a free person, to be able to walk tall, be free to make your own decisions about life, discuss your beliefs,dress how you want and not be challenged by things which really do not matter in life.Of course some laws need to exist to keep order and the aim is to always grow to become better , smarter people.
Something to think about .
-----------------------------
I was a very happy man. My wonderful girlfriend and I had been
dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. There was
only one little thing bothering me...It was her beautiful younger sister.
My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight mini
skirts, and generally was bra-less. She would regularly bend down
when she was near me, and I always got more than a nice view. It had
to be deliberate because she never did it when she was near anyone else.
One day her 'little' sister called and asked me to come over to
check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived, and she
whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she
couldn't overcome. She told me that she wanted me just once before I
got married and committed my life to her sister.
Well, I was in total shock and couldn't say a word.
She said, 'I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one
last wild fling, just come up and get me.'
I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs.
I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight
to the front door. I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car.
Lord... And behold, my entire future family was standing outside,
all clapping!
With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and said, 'We are
very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for
a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family.'
And the moral of this story is: Always keep your condoms in your car.


Have a good one :)

The Past Comes Rushing By



Montreal

This was before my time but it feels so familiar, maybe because I watched so many movies of simpler times.
Like, To Kill a Mockingbird comes to mind.
The people were simple but very industrious.
They were adept at adapting to whatever life threw at them without much fuss.
Life and reality was what you saw every day.

The people in the middle picture could very well fit into a picture of the building of the railway or maybe Waltons' Mountain , or lumber workers.
The Garage is very familiar and we had such garages around where I lived in Montreal.

No fancy words.
Just GARAGE.
You come in and they fix everything and anything.
You could smell the grease and the oils and diesel. A mechanic was well respected . His hands were black and he always carried a rag to wipe them with and a hat was always part of the over all uniform. lol He fixed cars and poured gas and served coffee and always had time for a smile and a chat.

Every trucker seemed to be his own man with respect to the fixing of his own rig.
When you travelled on the road, the driver of a big rig was your best friend in the case of a break down. He always had the best professional heavy tools ready for any situation and they were always ready to help as opposed to today. The trucker mentality has changed drastically.
I remember I used to love the smell of gas as it was poured into the gas tank.
The price of a truck in the 1930's and 40's ranged from about $ 395 .00 to 1,500
They are probably all manual. Henry Ford apparently didn't like the idea of electric starters

You can still pick up a 1948 F1 Ford Pick up for 20k
A 1934 Ford id engine flatbed sells today for 16,950.00

One fellow is selling a 1938 ford truck for 1,500.00 Must need repairs. lol
another 1937 ford pick up is selling for $54,900.00

Thats quite an investment and where would you find the leaded gas today to run it?
Sort of a bummer for the old car collector who likes to take his prize out for a drive and for a show.

CARBURETOR PROBLEMS

A blonde had called a mechanic when her newly purchased 1965 Classic Chevrolet Corvette had broken down

'That's a lovely car,' says the mechanic. 'What seems to be the matter?'
Well, it just conked out I'm afraid.'
'Let me have look.' The mechanic set to work and ten minutes later the engine was purring like a cat again.
'Thank goodness,' she said. 'What was the matter ?'
'Simple really, just poop in the
carburetor,' he replied.
Looking shocked she asked, 'Oh, OK. How many times a week do I have to do that?'

---------------------------------------------

  • A man was on a cruise in the Bermuda Triangle. A storm appeared without warning and his ship went down. He was in a lifeboat and began rowing to save people in the water. Ahead he saw a man waiving - he recognized that it was his attorney. He stated: "We have to save him first, he saved my ass on my divorce". They began rowing towards the attorney as a pack of sharks began swimming there as well. They got there first and began circling the attorney and the circle got smaller and smaller. His friend stated: "Oh, no - they are going in for a feeding frenzy" as they closed in and threw the attorney up in the air. He landed - straddling two sharks on their backs and then they leisurely swam him to the lifeboat. The attorney stepped from their backs into the lifeboat. Everyone aboard the lifeboat couldn't believe what they just saw and asked: "What just happened?" The attorney replied: "Professional courtesy". -- thanks to Paul Edholm

    Days in Our Lives.


    This picture was take in Tsawaassen.


    It reminded me of this story.

    A few years back, when we went to Quebec to check our country house,we found the roof needed to be changed. During summer it is difficult to get construction workers or any worker for that matter and I wanted to be there when it was being done. I couldn't trust leaving it the way it was with the winters we have there. My Mom was still alive and she was a hand full, so I couldn't climb the roof and my husband was in BC working, so we could not depend on having his help either.

    Well, I managed to get some neighbors to help me and finally hired my neighbor's son and his girl cousin who volunteered to do it. They ripped off the old shingles and threw them into my Dad's home made utility trailer.

    My younger son and I took the trailer to the dump. In Quebec, you are allowed two free dumps a year. So when you bring in your trailer, you better make sure its a big trailer and full to make it worth your while. Then they tell you what to put where and your garbage can be mixed in the trailer.
    I like this better than BC where they weigh your vehicle both in and out and charge according to weight.They are also particular because they charge for different things differently. Metal is free, normal garbage has one price, wood another, cardboard another. When you come, you can't mix so you need to come several times before you can get rid of everything and it becomes expensive.
    In Quebec you also buy a trailer license only once and you can use it on any trailer till the end of time. In BC you need to pay every year like car insurance.

    Well, the story went like this. I drove my huge fully loaded, 16 foot utility trailer and after being told where to unload, backed it in to the dumpster to unload my shingles. My son and I began unloading. It was scorching hot, the shingles were dirty and heavy and full of nails.

    Then this Arab guy shows up with a tiny little trailer, similar to a wheel barrow. It was full of what looked like green smelly rabbit pooh. He asked me if I could move my trailer so he could unload.
    I felt this was rather rude of him but the wheel barrow trailer was small and I figured he would lift it, get rid of the smelly stuff quickly and leave. So to be nice, I moved my trailer and he moved his in.

    I watched him get out of his car with a small child in diapers. He took out the smallest shovel in the world and began to slowly shovel the stuff into the dumpster. Watching him, I stood there,wide eyed, open mouthed and fuming. He couldn't find a smaller shovel.

    The baby was walking around by itself in a very dangerous area. The man would take all day to unload his wheel barrow at this rate, my son and I were hot, dirty, tired and then to boot I noticed that he wasn't even supposed to unload green stuff into this particular dumpster.
    When he turned around to look at me, he saw I was fuming.

    He said: " Look. I know you are angry cause I asked you to move."

    Well that was the wrong thing to say, in the mood I was in.
    He should have just unloaded and left because this was when I blew up.

    I said : "You made me move my big heavy trailer for this wheel barrow and now you will spend half a day shoveling it and it's not even the right dumpster. You are supposed to put this in the other one." and I pointed out where.

    There were no other cars anywhere. He had the whole dump to put his wheel barrow trailer but he chose to force me to move mine, like he was the King of Sheba.

    I continued :
    "Now, on top of that, you let out a naked baby to burn in the sun and to walk around glass and other dangers, like falling into one of these dumpsters.
    I am going to follow you home and tell your wife what you are doing and then let her tell you a thing or two."

    He began shaking and shoveling harder, getting me madder because all he had to do was to tip the trailer and everything would fall out in a second.

    He grumbled : I don't know why I woke up this morning.

    It dawned on me then, that he probably already had a blow up at home with his wife over this smelly wheel barrow affair and was there against his will. That's all he needed was to come home with another woman blasting his wife about him. I also realized he was not that good in multi tasking. This whole thing was a novelty to him.

    We were both so fuming angry, sizzling like hot bacon in a frying pan, that when we stared at each other, like two cowboys in a duel, we both could not help but burst into laughter.
    I think he could picture me explaining things to his wife and he never expected me to blurt out something like that, any more than I expected me to sputter it. lol

    I must have looked a sight with all those dirty shingles and he was not so pretty either.
    He looked like he fell out of bed. That's country life for you lol

    Anyway, we parted friends. He took his wheel barrow trailer to the right dumpster and I got my spot back to unload my stuff. My 14 year old son did most of the unloading and I did the pushing up front stuff.

    Before long my roof was finished and the neighbors 17 year old son did a great job. I don't know how he worked in the heat up there but he did and my son went up also but he stayed only half a day with the hammer before coming back down complaining about the heat.
    The roof is holding to this day and I am happy. I call this a learning holiday. But I was around my sons age when my Dad built the house and it was a family project. My Dad believed that to be free you never take a mortgage. You do a dollar down, dollar a week, till you have what you want and today I still believe that this is the only way to get ahead in life.

    We learned not to put all the shingles on the roof until you were ready to use them, Otherwise they stick together and they are hard to rip apart. So we needed to put them into the shade to cool, to separate, before using. lol Little tips.

    A year later, the neighbors boy got himself a real job in a lumber yard.
    He graduated from high school and got himself a car.

    Grad year is a very dangerous year.
    Kids go wild and party and then they die.

    This boy didn't drink but he was heavy footed on the gas pedal.
    Driving down a dark winding country road, something happened. He lost control of the car and it flew into the ditch hitting the cement which held up a commercial driveway. He wore no seat belt so he flew through the window, over an 8 foot frost fence which practically cut off his leg. Needless to say, his neck and head were broken. It was a mess.

    My son graduated this year and I am always after him to be careful because this is not the first story of this sort I hear.
    Two months later, this boy's friend also died this way but he was charging down the road with a wife and two kids. He died and his 5 year old, with a broken leg, tried to pull his Mother and baby sister out of the car.

    The local country stories are incredible.

    All we are left with are memories of playing soccer with them , having races, fixing a roof, sitting by campfires, exchanging stories and now this, an end to lives, which had everything to live for.

    We love them. We raise them but eventually we are all in charge of

    Days in Our Own Lives,

    and we hope we have sense enough, to live them well.

    Mosquito Summer.

    Sheesh!

    Mosquitoes are out . We do not have as many as

    Ontario, where opening your mouth to talk, can make you a good meal of them.

    They swarm like thin veils in the air and people sitting eating in restaurants,

    just ignore them.

    Ontario, understandably, since there is such an abundance of mosquitoes,

    also have the biggest dragonflies I’ve ever seen.

    They are about 3 inches long, and they seem to know if you do not belong there cause they charge

    And head butt you and it really hurts.

    To protect yourself you need a tennis racquet to either make a game of it or head for shelter into the car.

    But even facing battle with a tennis racquet doesn’t seem to sway them.

    They are extremely head strong and nothing like the beautiful friendly dragonflies we used to play with

    on the Richelieu River in Quebec.

    In hot weather, you cannot get away without some body odor, and wearing dark colors enhances sweating.

    This would be a good time to also avoid lactose products.

    Mosquitoes also like carbon dioxide and fly towards it.

    We are talking mainly about female mosquitoes since they are the ones who bite.

    Used to be mosquitoes were quite noisy and you could hear them coming but now I find they are very quiet and sneak up on you

    Until you feel the bite and try to give it a good swat.

    By this time its too late cause they fly away unless they are already heavy and full of blood.

    Then you are left with this messy red spot thinking eeeeyooo!!!

    Does this all belong to me? Or is it picking up other blood along the way?

    We can buy products to repel them or use electricity, but if your garden consists of Citronella plants, Peppermint, Cloves, Cedar, Eucalyptus

    Catnip and Rosemary, a few small bats, friendly dragon flies, and garden spiders, you might find you have less mosquitoes flying around you.

    I guess burning some of these in candles and oil around you, might also repel mosquitoes.

    Its either that or wearing a mosquito net from head to toe.

    We are lucky here in BC this year, to have much cooler weather as opposed to the 40 degree celsius weather,

    they’ve been having on the east coast. Today it was 12 degrees Celsius.

    Sometimes we wonder if the two days of sun and heat is all the real summer we will have

    this year.

    But no matter where you are, your friend the mosquito will not be far behind.

    I guess we just have to learn to live with our pesky friends even if we don’t like them.

    They do benefit our planet by providing food for a large number of animals in the food chain.

    The males drink nectar and there for help pollinate plants

    I guess we can let them live………but THOSE FEMALES!!!!!!!

    Bow wow! Grrrrrrrrr....On them.
