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.

A Birch Eye View

I spent my week end continuing making hats and scarves.
I have 6 sets and all different. Can't get myself to pick up a camera though
to make a collage Maybe later. lol
My son gets 2 in the green color cause those are his school colors.
I have one green scarf left to make for him
Now I have to go to the dollar store and see if I can get those dollar gloves to include in the sets.
They are very nice and hardly worth making for that price although my son would like those
fingerless wrist warmers and those all you need is to buy woolen tube socks and cut off the feet part. The feet part can be sewed up and crocheted around to make nice slippers and the top is ready to wear without much fuss. On the soccer field it will be cold and every little bit helps.

Other than that I love Birch Trees. I can't get over that they can be used to write on and when I was a kid people would go into birch areas to pick wild mushrooms. Those were the days.

My Dad and I would go very early in the morning and bring back 2 x 50 pound potato bags full.
Then the rest of the morning would be spent sorting cleaning, cooking and canning. It had to be done fast before the mushrooms spoiled.
This my Mom was great at. Canning was her specialty. We would have tons of pickled mushrooms for winter and they were good. Sometimes we'd eat them out of the jar and sometimes we'd fry them with eggs or onions with sour creme. They made for a lovely condiment.

These are days when I really miss my parents. They did so many crazy things lol
and I remember every day so vividly like they happened yesterday. There is nothing nicer than working like a family team. Today we don't have families like this anymore.
Reminds me of the Waltons.
Well, here's a few puns.
I found one yesterday on CNN : Police shoot dead dog for biting.lol

26. There was the person who sent ten puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.

Winter Evening

This is a work in progress.

I obtained this picture from a postcard I liked. We had winters like this heavy with snow and we'd go out in the evening as a family, to throw snow balls and make snow men. I especially waited for a night like this to walk and meet my Mom at work and accompany her home.
It would always be so comforting to see the lights in the window and then to look forward to warming our feet inside by the warm fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate.
In this painting I am changing things like adding mountains
etc.... To suit my own vision of this particular evening.

The Original had Christmas trees in the wagon.

Since I hate cutting down trees I won't put that in there. lol

The house will be different although I like it in purple, it doesn't match the blue mountains, Not that it has to. I was thinking to make more branches on the tree outside and cover it in festive lights as well as the house which should have some hanging lights. No house with children, is ever without a snowman and country scenes always have dogs.

One day it will be finished.
When I was a kid, my friend's Dad painted bears on a log in a forest, from a post card .
It's a well known post card and I've seen the original painting in the store, but
because I watched this man paint it, it secretly meant a lot to me to see it on his wall even if it was a copy,
I loved those bears and often thought to paint them myself so I could have something similar but so far I have not reached the bear painting stage. lol
I am mainly into kids dogs and horses and of course soccer.

In any event I work slow because I am the sort of painter that requires a special hobby room
to do this sort of stuff. This way every time you walk by you can look at it and see what it needs.
Then you can work on five of them at the same time and the work becomes interesting. lol

It's a bit different from the 20 foot w x 10 foot h props I used to draw for my sons drama plays.
They took up my whole wall in the living room and everything had to be done from scratch,
starting from sewing of the material together, to making hooks to hang it and then the painting itself.
It was hard work but I had so much fun making it and it felt so good when the parents would come and stand in front of it for pictures after the play was over, with the kids.
That's mainly why I did it and this was my reward.

Walking in art museums, I always saw an artist set himself up in front of a Michael Angelo or a Leonardo da Vinci painting and try to make it as lifely looking as the actual picture. Since it takes years to paint such a picture, I often wonder how long they sat there painting it.:)

Go Netherlands !!!

They can almost smell Soccer Victory in South Africa.!!!!

At first glance, you may think the painting simply illustrates the people of the Netherlands. That was what I thought. But as I looked into this painting, Netherlandish Proverbs (1559), painted by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in Staatliche Museen, Berlin (now Gemaldegaerie, Berlin), I learned that every individual, object, and action all have a satirical significance. There is said to be over 100 proverbs illustrated in this painting, in which some are still used in the Netherlands and the Dutch.

Some of the proverbs illustrated in the paintings are….

• To bang one’s head against a brick wall.
  Which means to try to achieve the impossible

• The world is turned upside down.
  Which means everything is the opposite of what it should be

• She puts the blue cloak on her husband.
  Which means she deceives him
  
• More at the link above.
  
• =========================
• 
  

To choose between the devil and the deep blue sea. =

What do you do when you are faced with two equally bad alternatives /choices?

Does one live to eat or eat to live?= socrates

Man is not about just enjoying food but about having a divine purpose and destiny with his creator

People hate what they do not understand.

So does this mean you will not hate once you understand?

I guess it is the same thing as saying don’t judge a man until you walk in his shoes. Then I guess it's ok lol

Isn't this fun???

Tatty May He Rest In Peace.

He was a breed of cat that is now dying.

Free strong brave.
A hunter
A protector
A lover
A guardian
An Investigator
A Pack Leader
A friend
A cat who thought he was a dog.

He was our Tatty
and his spirit will live on in our hearts
for he left us with so many memories,
because he always did it his way.

May he Rest in Peace now
knowing we loved him.

AHH! TO BE YOUNG AGAIN!!! :)

The family wheeled Grandma out onto the lawn, in her wheelchair, where the activities for her 100th birthday were taking place. Grandma couldn't speak very well, but she could write notes when she needed to communicate. After a short time out on the lawn, Grandma started leaning off to the right, so some family members grabbed her, straightened her up, and stuffed pillows on her right. A short time later, she started leaning off to the left, so again, the family grabbed her and stuffed pillows on her left. Soon, she started leaning forward, so the family members again grabbed her, then tied a pillowcase around her waist to hold her up. A nephew who arrived late came running up to Grandma and said, "Hi, Grandma, you're looking good! How are they treating you?" Grandma took out her little notepad and slowly wrote a note to the nephew, "They won't let me fart."

A couple had been married for 50 years. They were sitting at the breakfast table one morning when the old gentleman said to his wife, "Just think, honey, we've been married for 50 years." "Yeah," she replied, "50 years ago we were sitting here at this breakfast table together." "I know," the old man said, "We were probably sitting here naked as jaybirds!" "Well..." his wife snickered, "What do you say ... should we get naked?" The old man nodded, and the two of them took all their clothes off and sat back down at the table. "You know, honey," the old lady whispered breathlessly, "My nipples are as hot for you today as they were 50 years ago." "I wouldn't be surprised," replied her husband. "One's in your coffee and the other's in your oatmeal!"

The local senior citizen care center has begun giving Viagra to the old men each night. It seems it keeps them from rolling out of bed.

· Three old ladies named Gertrude, Maude, and Tilly were sitting on a park bench having a quiet conversation when a flasher approached from across the park. He came up to the ladies, stood right in front of them, and opened his trench coat. Gertrude immediately had a stroke. Then Maude also had a stroke. But Tilly, being older and more feeble, couldn’t reach that far.

· A man decides to have a facelift for his birthday. He spends $5,000 and feels really good about the results. On his way home, he stops at a news stand and buys a paper. Before leaving, he says to the sales clerk, "I hope you don't mind me asking, but how old do you think I am?" "About 35," was the reply. "I'm actually 47," the man says, feeling really happy. After that, he goes into McDonald's for lunch and asks the clerk the same question. The reply is, "Oh, you look about 29". "I'm actually 47." Later, while standing at a bus stop, he asks an old woman the same question. She replies, "I'm 85 years old, and my eyesight is going. But when I was young, there was a sure way of telling a man's age. If I put my hand down your pants and play with your balls for 10 minutes, I will be able to tell you your exact age." As there was no one around, the man thinks, what the hell and lets her slip her hand down his pants. Ten minutes later, the old lady says, "Okay, it's done. You are 47." Stunned, the man says, "That was brilliant. How did you do that?" The old lady replies, "I was behind you at McDonald's."

LIFE"S LIKE THAT.....ISN'T IT???

A group of 40 years old buddies discuss where they should go for dinner. Finally it is agreed that they should meet at the Gausthofzum Lowen restaurant because the waitress's there have low cut blouses and nice breasts.

10 years later, at 50 years of age, the group meets again and once again they discuss where they should meet.
Finally it is agreed that they should meet at the Gausthof zum Lowen because the food there is very good and the wine selection is good also.

10 years later at 60 years of age, the group meets again and once again they discuss where they should meet.
Finally it is agreed that they should meet at the Gausthof zum Lowen, for the peace and quiet and the restaurant is smoke free.

10 years later, at 70 years of age, the group meets again and once again they discuss where they should meet.
Finally it is agreed that they should meet at the Gausthof zum Lowen because the restaurant is wheel chair accessible and they even have an elevator.

10 years later, at 80 years of age, the group meets again and once again they discuss where they should meet. Finally it is agreed that they should meet at the Gausthof zum Lowen because they have never been there before.

Family

The families in the past were different from what we have today.
Before people needed large families because of the high mortality rate and because life was difficult and if you had no family, it was hard to build something in life.
Today family is frowned upon.
They tell you not to have too many children.
They tell you to take the easy way out by divorcing for irreconcilable differences.
They tell you to throw away the old people as well as children
They tell you social services has all the answers
They tell you society owes you for your problems.

They tell you many lies about life and people are buying into it.
They tell you, you have rights to be and do anything and everything you want.
You are there to fill your own emotional physical psychological needs and no one elses.
What they don't tell you is how self destructive all their ideas are and that
what they are doing is actually experimenting with a new society, where they finally got people of all races colors and languages to live together, on one piece of property.

Because of their ideas, companies leave, unions are bereft of meaning,governments fill up with more self serving people who sit wasting time in petty arguments because they have no other ideas on how to resolve things and they'll be damned before they give some one else a chance to. They are willing to sell anything for a vote from any member of society, promising anything, legal or illegal.
Ethics morals and values they say, are hog wash.

What is troublesome is that they promise to make illegal things, legal for a vote.
Laeders in Canada are frowned upon but we give awards to people supporting leadership in the US which is very interesting.

People fear law and order and any effort to establish some is frowned upon.
People don't know what to rebel against.
They are into rebelling for rebelling sake.
Words become more important than actions.

All these things affect families and families are struggling for their rights to exist.
Families, to function, require some form of law and order but if society destroys this inside the family, then the family cannot function anymore.
This is what we are seeing inside families today.

No one is home to hold down the fort. No Mother or Grand parent or Aunt or Uncle.
People just go their own way and do what they want for themselves.

We discuss relationships and needs.
We teach not having to "settle" for things in life.
but you know, many people found lots of happiness in "settling".

People in war conditions, settled for what they had.
People living in poverty settled.
Kings and Queens settled.
People learned to respect and love, for the right reasons and not the wrong.
Actions spoke louder than words.
Actions revealed character and character told people who you were.

Families were treasures. Words like honor meant something and no one needed contracts in those days.

The weaker families become the more society will turn to self destruction because no one will care about anything but themselves.

Evidence is seen everywhere. Recently, the police had a bicycle run to raise money for charity. The money was stolen from the car.
The Canadian Mint is missing Millions of dollars in gold.
Real Estate hires inspectors to inspect new homes. Once the inspection passes they take everything out of the inspected house and put it into another new one to pass inspection, thus selling the other house with many unforeseen repairs for the new owner.
The fraud and corruption list and ID theft, is endless.
Nothing is sacred and no matter where you look, it's all the same.

Families play an enormous role in life. They build trust,good character,teach the true meaning of love, loyalty and honor and this then is taken outside the family into neighborhoods, jobs, government, health and new families.
If the role of family is destroyed, then not much hope will be left to hold onto anything else.
If the country wants to experiment, then this is what they should be experimenting with. Building families just makes the most sense.

I had a family living a few houses away from me.
It was a mixed family She was a beautiful young white girl with two boys, from a huge, muscular, black man, who wore a thick pure gold chain around his neck.
The older, 2 1/2 year old boy, used to run away from his home to play with Nick.
He got into the habit of coming in quietly and stealing things from our home and then he broke what he stole in hisback yard.
I was very sad when his Mom brought back a mandolin in pieces.
It was nothing but my husband brought it from Russia when he went there on a business trip so the fact it came from there was meaningful.
Anyway, he also got into the habit of coming over and peeing on my front door. I would ask him why he did that and he'd tell me to fuck off.
His Mom used to go to a club for exercise and entrusted her baby and the older boy to me for a few hours a day. She seemed lonely, with not too many friends, so I didn't mind.
Young people sometimes need help.
I felt she did.
One day the Dad came over and accused my older son for damaging his son's eye.
My older son was almost 18 with a 2 1/2 yr old baby brother himself.
Now why would he do that? He was never there anyway.

The man went on to tell me I didn't know who he was and he would never do that to my child.
I assured him the worst thing that would happen in my home to his son, was that he would be picked up and taken home to his Mama.
In my house it's a sin to hurt any baby. The very idea was outrages.
This opened up a conversation. I told him his son peed on my front door everyday and told me to f off and he seems to behave worse when he(the Dad) is home.

I told him ok, you can fight me, you can fight my son, my husband, but your son is a little boy talking like a big man with that language he obviously learned from home.

He is going to go out and talk this way to other people, who will beat him up and what I want to know, is how many people are you willing to beat up and/or kill for your sons behavior?

He told me his Father told all the children in his family not to smoke and they never did in front of his face. He said this was RESPECT.

I told him this was not respect. Respect, is when your Father tells you not to smoke...you don't smoke. What you all did was cowardly..... lie.

I saw a veil cover his eyes as he thought about everything we talked about and as I was leaving he took my hand and shook it and told me he was honored to talk to me.

He left to apparently work in carpentry in another province.
A few weeks later we found out he was on the FBI's most wanted list for killing a man.
He bought the house under an assumed name and authorities caught up to him and arrested him and probably took him back to New York where he was from.

The family moved. The family was destroyed.Two boys and a young wife were left on the street to survive......

and as for us.... we were all shocked, not to mention betrayed, about who this man was and what he could have done to my 18 year old son, let alone to Nick, had he continued to believe we hurt his boy.

Now I have to believe there was God involved here because I know this man left his home having learned something, no one was able to teach him until our conversation.
You do not resolve things through killing and the definition of "respect", was not what he thought it was.
So we are living with words we attach meaning to but they do not mean the same thing to all of us.
This is why strong families are important. To destroy Family and God as we are doing today, leaves us little resources other than fighting and war.
