Oh Oh! To Multitask or Not to Multitask

Oh Oh!
Big fines for hand held devices.
No more multitasking folks.

This means you can't hold your cup between your fingers.
This means no smoking while you drive.

It means pulling over in traffic to have a drink of water and then
fighting to get back in.

It means if your kids throw something on your head from the back,
you can't take it off even though it obstructs your vision, till you pull off the road and kill a pedestrian or a cyclist, with rights, or land in a ditch, in the process.

It means if your wrist is broken and in a cast you still have to use it to drive.
God help you if you have a tummy ache or a head ache or are solving an important math equation in your head.You can't use these as an excuse for an accident because this means your attention was not used to concentrate on driving.

It means you can't use a kleenex to wipe your eyes or sweat from your brow or blow your nose,
cause big brother is watching and waiting to fine you. (did you think it was just for the phone?)

Apart from the wicked economy and the gas companies buying and selling away your jobs
they have you over a barrel again in the car, cause lets face it, todays' car, is like yesterdays horse.
Taking away a man's horse was a hanging offense.
Not today. They'll gladly do it.
Your car has resale value but no one cares if you hang .lol
If you haven't committed an offense, they will find something you do to make it one, so they can extort something from you.

(Don't it make you wish those chatterboxes would shut up when driving?)
and as for people who suggested fines... well they are as bad as the scum bags who suggested seat belts and car seats for kids and the safety bags blowing up into your face at 300 miles an hour.

Safety kills today.
Have you ever driven with kids who want the front seat or do not like to be strapped into a seat screaming at the top of their lungs?
What happens to kids with handicaps who drive you crazy in the car?
Do you sedate them before putting them into the car so you do not break the multitasking law?

I wonder how this applies to standard cars where you need to multitask to drive?
Guess they can't sell them anymore.

It is disturbing, that man's rights are being taken away from him.
Pretty soon they will turn behavior into law and fine you because you spread germs and gave another person an illness that kills too.

And to think ........we rejected etiquette .

Common folks. Multitasking?
That's what we do.
Talking, listening to music or the news is enough to scare you into causing an accident today.

A car back firing, can cause an accident.

Reading the signs on the road is multitasking.

The sun or headlights in your mirrors forces you to multitask.

Watching a plane fly across the highway is multitasking.
(ok that's stretching but it happens right)

If we couldn't multitask using the mirrors for 360 degree vision, we would not pass the drivers test.

This all concludes than man requires multitasking to function in every day life, including behind the wheel of a car.
Multitasking cannot be equated to drunk driving or drug afflictions, where you are deprived of this ability to multask.

Multitasking keeps your mind sharp and fights alzheimers.

Of all the laws I do support,
I think this one. is the most ridiculous I have ever encountered.

Do you know what emptying your mind does to a person?
It puts you to sleep. Its called yoga, meditating, levitating.
In my books it's called being bored out of your skull and can result in an accident.

If you had to pull over for every tiny little thing, I think this would cause more accidents on the road with people stopping and going all the time than just doing what you have to do and moving on.
Really.
Do we need smart cars today?
Has life become so hard we need technology to do our thinking for safety reasons?

Lets get a smart car, so our hands are free to talk on the phone .

Technology is not perfect either.
It's got glitches.
Doesn't anyone watch movies? lol

I prefer thinking to take place in my own brain, so I grow as a person.
Taking thinking away from people, just makes them more vulnerable, dependent and
therefore less able to survive.
Creating stupid laws, resulting in unneeded stress, also shortens life.

So I give my blessing to multitasking.
Go for it!
And I am so close to saying Screw the law.

Have a great day!

To Moose or Not to Moose

Ontario is a very wide province.You travel through it three days and find yourself still in
Ontario.
Meanwhile you are food for mosquitoes, dragonflies, deer flies, and black flies and as you drive through various areas you see invitations to get licenses for fishing, to kill bear, moose and deer.

Unlike BC, where animals seem friendly before they eat you, Ontario's animals are man wise.
Here, is a shot of one daring moose bragging to my son,as he dangles his Father by his hoof tip lol

In Ontario it's a who's who game every day.

Who's in the stew?
Is it me?
or
Is it you?

It's kinda biast though cause, man has to pay for a license to feed, while the creature world eats for free.

To Chop or Not to Chop

We don't have much of a front yard but it sure filled up with stuff.
If one looks tonight, except for the huge Japanese fir, everything else is gone.
chopped up and hauled away.
My green leafed, ground cover, which took me 10 years to grow, has been all torn out. The hydrangea, the palm, the rhododendrum...all gone.
The yard is peat mossed and tomorrow is the last day for roof cleaning and and the final touches.
Now begins the next part of the clean up with painting.
All the neighbors had a chance to say hello and tell us how nice the house looks without all the vegetation. We never see anyone as there is no reason to step outside but seems everyone did the same thing, replaced vegetation with peat moss or stone.

My guys are not letting me do anything so life for me is very hard lol
But I managed to put an old chicken to boil for the bouillion and my husband chopped up the potatoes and veggies to put inside the soup.
By nightfall the soup flavor was delicious.

Tonight was Charlie Sheen night. He was roasted and part one, of one and a half men, was aired
with Charlies' funeral and the introduction of Ashton Kutcher , his replacement.
It was hard to see his own cold hearted Mother with crocodile tears and only interested to make money selling his beach house.
Makes you wonder what was so funny people laughed.
Apparently Charlie got hit by a subway or something
Ashton Kutchur is going to buy his house I guess because he likes all the girls there,and the story will continue sans Charlie. I wonder if his ghost will ever appear on the show?
It will be renamed Men since the little boy is big now and collects his own chicks.

I guess my home was not the only one with chopping issues.lol
To chop or not to chop?
To chop or not to chop?
To chop or not to chop?

Kissing Mom



The workers worked power washing trimming cutting all day today
I am happy the rain is holding out.
Apparently it is not good to power wash a tile roof so they cleaned it by hand and then Monday they will spray/powder it just like a baby's bottom.

I stubbed my thumb again
I told my guys I have to keep the hand wrapped Otherwise its easy to reinjure.

Beau was barking nonstop so Nick took him into the bog to pee and pull out some shedding fur.
His fur is a head ache.The dogs are not used to people.

It's hard picking stuff up to put into garbage bags, loading the dishwasher etc... with one hand.
I fried some eggs and even peeled a few potatoes but that was not a good thing to do.
It was too much for the Survivor man who pretended to hurt his left hand in a plane crash in winter woods.
I had to laugh. What a woose. lol
but he did snare a rabbit to eat.So you have to give him koodoos for that.

Today our cable company was robbed of 14 km of copper wire and so most of Delta had no cable or even internet.The robbers will now resell the stolen cable if they do not get caught.Lucky for the clients, the cable company was able to to fix the problem.
Our neighbor also suffered a broken pipe which flooded his basement
He has a lot of damage and fixing to pay for.

Gatineau in Quebec had a small .4 earthquake.
That's something funny because we never had any before like we do lately out there.
We never worried like we do in BC and when it finally hits no one will be prepared.
After seeing what happened in Japan how can you ever be prepared?

Water comes in and takes everything away.
In the end, we only have God's mercy to depend on.

Well, we shall see what else the day brings.

Have a good one!!!

An American soldier who was serving in Iraq called his mother on the phone.

As soon as his mom answered, he started kissing the phone as if kissing his mom:
'moa moa moa moa moa moa moa moa moa moa moa moa...''

The mom said: 'Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.'


Nevertheless, the soldier continued kissing the phone 24 million times.

His mom asked him 'What are all these kisses for?'

He said, 'These are on behalf of all the Iraqi people. They love you so
much'.

His mother wondered and asked him 'Why do you think that?'

The soldier said: 'Whenever I meet Iraqis, they keep telling me:

'KISS UMMAK'
------------------------------
(In arabic, this mean: "kiss your mom's ass") LOL















red shoes

Sandy, writing in faith, talked about red shoe poetry so here is mine :)

she is a red gypsy
with red tapping shoes
which tell the old stories
as well as the new
through morse code if you listen
through passion and flair
through frills like no other
those shoes tap to the fools
they all listen with envy
to red shoes all aglow
the red shoes dance to melodies
none of them know
they hypnotize all
who dare look their way
they burn through the memories
discreet, mysteries
So beware the red gypsy
and those glossy red shoes
they tell all the secrets
while she dances in style.
A Lady's Life

Have a great day!

Only September

Its only September and the yard is full of leaves.
This goes on till the end of November,
on a steep incline.
Nice to live in the bog .
You have flowers, birds, snakes, coons, squirrels, possum, skunks and then the odd coyote and wolf,
Life is always interesting.
Go outside and fill your mouth full of blackberries. Gods" gift to the world.
Yup I will miss this place but I can't keep falling and breaking bones all the time.
Have to know ones' limits and
stay on flat land.
It's not like I have a big family willing to help out.
This work ethic is a quality our parents put into us but they didn't have new technology to compete with like we do with our kids.
We did not say NO to our parents lol.
Everyone I know says the same thing about their kids.
When they are at home everything is ok but once they get married and have bills to pay...
well the rules come out pretty quick, even for visiting parents lol

It makes you wonder how come you are such a sucker
Is it because you love them? lol

Today the roofers are here to clean the roof and the yard around the house and of course Beau is barking.
Instead of taking care of him my son, playing a football video game, just told me to hold him.
I told him my dog is the small one.The guys wanted big dogs so they should take care of them.
Today Tanya and I had a little talk and I told her she is the daughter I never had.
This is how people fall in love with their dogs and they become their children.
Dogs never argue and behave even though they are not in the mood.
That's if you train them right.
None of my dogs ever barked but this time my kids grabbed them as pups and the training didn't happen.
Usually done right it takes three days to toilet train and few months to train doing other things like obedience and no barking, to get a civilized dog.
Children are a joy as babies until they go to school and learn from other kids to be little individuals with 50 year old minds.
It gets worse when the schools begin teaching them what they should eat.
Seems your healthy cooking becomes bad and they don't eat it anymore.
These little quirks never end till they grow up and have children of their own.
Until then the parents are guided by innocence instead of the other way around.lol
Yup times have changed.
In my books however, its better to be a leader than a follower. You don't want to fall off the same cliff everyone else does but sometimes knowing ones' limits and how hard to push is wise.

Looking back, I remember the wise old words of elders who knew how to live. They passed on their wisdom to me and I was happy to know it because it made a lot more sense than some things we are taught today which are wrong but enters your home without your permission
and forces new changes which you need to let happen for learning to take place.

It kinda always skips a generation as ones' kids never listen, as opposed to grandchildren.
Grand children look into your mouths for wisdom their parents don't have lol

Becoming older, falls under other words like, being worn down, humility, wisdom, inner strength, and inner smiles because you know what the end result will be lol

Time may change but people never do.
I guess getting older is like my back yard right now.
Gets kinda messy but
eventually it all cleans back up again.
Have a great day!

This is what I want to be in my next life. lol
This ballerina has so much control and her movements flow with such ease
it makes it look easy. But it truly requires talent to be this good.

A Day in the Life




richardkmeister.com

This guy gives very nice video lessons and he has lovely art work.
--------------------------------------------------------

EUREKA!

The cast is off but now the real work begins because the wrist and thumb hurt.
The tendons need to be worked on so the hand works properly.
Apart from being petrified of falling again, I need more aspirin and this morning I rewrapped
the wrist for support as well as for my psychological well being.
It felt better in the heavy cast lol but now the blood flows into it and after exercising, it reswells.
The doctor said it had to be worked and moved and that it would hurt 6-7 months.
lol
I am thrilled lol
A long time for me to remain a cripple.
One doesn't realize but the bone from the wrist to the elbow can't be laid down without pushing up the part attached to the wrist . Being newly healed, there could be danger of rebreaking.

At the hospital there was a man who cut off fingers on both hands, with a saw at home.They had to take one finger and reattach it to make a thumb. He came to change his bandage and got hell
for helping to take off the bandage which the aid cut through. He got pale from pain and was put on a bed. Apparently not moving a tendon was crucial.

Another man was motorcycle riding in the bush. He fell down, either a very steep hill he did not expect or a cliff. Broke his collar bone , lots of ribs, his lung collapsed and his spleen was punctured. It took a long time for him to be airlifted to the hospital and he was in very serious condition.
He said his collar bone had a plate but otherwise he was mending well.

Then another old woman had a hip replacement and the doctor told her her bones were big and her joints were the biggest he ever had to repair so the healing would take longer.She asked him if she would be able to play sports and he said yes. She said good cause I couldn't before.
He laughed and said he gets caught every time. One patient asked if he would be able to play piano and he said yes and the patient said good cause I couldn't before lol

I felt bad for the doctor.He looked like he hadn't been home in a while to either change or shower. But he was in good spirits.

When they came to cut off my cast , I behaved like a baby.
That saw vibrated the cast and my bone was healed but I could picture how this vibration
would hurt a person with a bone still broken inside.

I told him my husband will be glad of no cast cause now I won't be playing baseball with his head at night lol
Deep in sleep, apparently, I socked it to him one night lol.

I thought I was the only one coming in with a collapsed wrist but apparently many people do.
It doesn't seem normal to me.
I don't know why they do not inject the bone with this glue after resetting.
Regan Tec makes it. Its a white powder acting like a spongy bone keeping things together
and encourages natural regeneration. Then it turns into lactic acid.
I think it would help the wrist not collapse requiring metal plates.
Metal in winter gets cold and could keep you in pain would it not?

Well this was my exciting day yesterday.
-------------------------------------------
A nurse walks into a bank, preparing to endorse a check. She reaches in her pocket and pulls out a rectal thermometer and tries to write with it.

She looks up at the teller, pauses for a moment, then realizing her mistake, she says, "Well that's great. Some ***hole's got my pen."
--------------------------------------
Upon arriving home in eager anticipation of a leisurely evening, the husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully she explained, "It's the druggist - he insulted me terribly this morning on the phone."
Immediately the husband drove downtown to accost the druggist and demand an apology. Before he could say more than a word or two, the druggist told him, "Now, just a minute - listen to my side of it. This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, but I'll be damned if I didn't lock the house with both house and car keys inside. I had to break a window to get my keys. Driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Then, about three blocks from the store I had a flat tire.
When I finally got to the store there was a bunch of people waiting for me to open up. I got the store opened and started waiting on these people, and all the time the darn phone was ringing its head off. Then I had to break a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I got down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels - the phone is still ringing - when I came up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with a bunch of perfume bottles on it, and half of them hit the floor and broke. The phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got back to answer it. It was your wife - she wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer.
Well, Mister, I TOLD HER!

In the Morning Light - Two Versions

In the morning light , a mirror reflected a vase and lamp from a nearby dresser.
The movie Local Colors was playing depicting days of rain and thunder
And here was art speaking to me,
From a corner of my room,
From a place least expected.
Outside, a gloomy dawn was awakening,
Reality mingled with fabrication
The Shadows spoke
And like a bolt of lightning, life burst forth
An arm..broken and yet with purpose
Bristles of a brush, worn dry and yet alive
Broken hearts and yet still beating.
Broken lives and yet still living.
Teachers taught and yet, still teaching
and so
and so
and so.......

In the morning light........colors, life and shadows
Reflections of life,
still to live
A Lady's Life
----------------------------------------------
In the morning light I glanced in the mirror and saw how the shadows reflected a vase and lamp in it , from a nearby counter.
The movie Local Colors . was playing, and here was art speaking to me from a corner of my room where I least expected it to.
The movie had lots of rain and thunder and outside a gloomy dawn was awakening in my
back yard.
It all seemed to fit.
Shadows light , existence and fabrication,
An arm and yet broken with a purpose,
a mirror image of what is and what should be.
An awakening, like a bolt of lightening
jolts you back into the light and the living.
And so
And so
And so........
The shadows speak
From a mirror, in a corner of a room
And suddenly......it all makes sense.
A Lady's Life

A man and his wife were returning from a party one evening. As the couple was driving home, she asked her husband, "Honey, has anyone ever told you how handsome, sexy and irresistible to women you are?"

Totally flattered, he replied, "No, dear they haven't."

At that point she yelled, "Then what the heck gave you THAT idea at the party tonight?"
-----------------

Young Son: Is it true, Dad, I heard that in some parts of Africa a man doesn't know his wife until he marries her?

Dad: That happens in most countries, son.

Soaps

Susan Lucci
Frons, is cancelling"All My Children" and "One Life to Live" in April, saying the soap operas were a victim of declining interest. He said trying to prop up shows in severe decline was like "trying to catch a falling knife."

Susan Lucci disagrees and like her character in All My Children, she will not take no for an answer.
The Soaps are like a drug.
Once you get into them, they become your family and you worry as they worry on the set, what will happen tomorrow ?

It was hard for me to stop watching them but I did.
I began seeing things which did not make sense.
I put myself into a situation and knew I would have a different more adult solution to my problem but these actors, were told to make immature decisions while making millions to live the life they live.
And
They never grow old lol
So I asked myself, how do people who know how to make millions in their story lines, make such stupid life mistakes?
If they were that stupid how are they not swindled of their grandeur? lol
Then the plots became stupider and stupider and yet ..........
here we are , all glued to the set.
I remember the heartbreak I had when Another World was canceled.This was my favorite soap.

wiki
“We do not live in this world alone, but in a thousand other worlds,” which Irna said represented the difference between “the world of events we live in, and the world of feelings and dreams that we strive for.”
Another World focused less on the conventional drama of domestic life as seen in other soap operas, and more on exotic melodrama between families of different classes and philosophies.

I was devastated for Mac and Rachel Cory when Mac died.



The importance of the Cory family on the show was shaken when Douglass Watson,(mac) unexpectedly died while on vacation in Arizona in spring 1989 from a heart attack. At the time of Watson's death, Another World was about to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

After the show was taken over by other actors and Rachel was bereft of her true love Mac Cory, the show lost its' power because no other strong love like theirs replaced it.

Some people belong together and when one dies, the other soon does as well.

Susan Lucci has to accept I guess, that the world has moved on.
Ladies of her caliber, have been replaced by a more modern woman in pant suits, straight hair and Reeboks lol
It's too bad because the new shows live on the edge of porn and are just not interesting anymore.
They are empty of emotion and suffering and aspects of true love and commitment.

Fickleness of spirit is promoted not just between people in love but in business and politics and religion.
I mean look at George Cloony.Everyone makes a big deal about him but watching him, all I can see is a man afraid to grow up and behave his age instead of his shoe size.

The dangerous consequence results in the raising of an uncaring, cold society, bereft of conscience and spirit.
We see this in horrible acts of cruelty which we never saw or heard of before, as a daily event.
Convicts would not support a pedophile in jail.
Today, jails are filled with them.
The new generation finds it harder to survive today.
Schools are tougher.
Teachers are told not to be true to themselves but follow the program they emotionally can't.
Oh well.
I guess there is room to replace Passions now with all these new problems surfacing.
Maybe they can save society by bringing back tears and hope into todays' daily lives, we read about in the papers.
Or make it
40 per cent cheaper to make the cooking and weight-loss series that are replacing the two soap operas.
Have a great day!!!


Partridge in a Pear Tree

Partridges are very funny birds.
Apparently you can't find any here in North America.
They are known for stealing other birds eggs but when the eggs hatch the babies do not accept them and fly to their own mothers when they hear her call.

I wonder what this does to the imprinting theory since I had evidence of it in my house.
My cat was raised by a dog so he walked and behaved like a dog and then this cat raised a puppy and that puppy rubs itself around your legs like a cat lol

For camouflage this bird rolls over and covers itself with soil.
Their nests are covered in thorns and the eggs with dust.
To lure away predators it pretends to have a broken leg or wing.
This bird will also carry her chicks to hide them from a male who will attack them if he gets pestered.

"The partridge stealing eggs is like the devil, who steals souls from their creator. But when sinners recognize God as their true parent, they return to him." is the allegory pertaining to partridges.

Is it no wonder we sing about them in our Christmas songs.

Amazing
------------------
When asked why she lied and stole her friends make up, Jules replied it was due to pear pressure.

Now we know why partridges sit in a pear tree. lol
------------------

Louise went into her bank to cash a cheque. She looked hesitant so the cashier .kindly pointed where and added:
'Please sign the back of the cheque, here, 'as you'd sign a letter.

'Louise looked extremely grateful, scribbled on the cheque and passed it back to the cashier.

Signed on the back was: 'Yours affectionately, Louise.'

Chillin

By the looks of these mugs, I guess people are still in the holiday mood.
Here in BC the weather is hot.
My son went to trek up Grouse Mountain with his soccer team.
His Dad and I are trying to clean up the yard.
Since I am useless with my wrist still in a cast it's mostly my husband working.
I am fearful of redamaging a wrist that hangs by threads.
Already Sunday night while deep asleep, I moved my arm and thumb right into my husbands' knee, vertically.It woke me up in pain since the cast is heavy so the blow was generous to my wrist below the thumb .Now I am worried again.
I was doing so well.

I don't want metal in my body so if the doctor says anything I'll be prepared to tell him to inject glue which helps bone rebuilding and dilutes into lactic acid eventually.
But I hope it won't come to that.
I takes so long to heal a bone and especially chips of bone, so I really don't recommend breaking any lol
-----------------
The papers said Keinan Hebert, the 3 year old abducted from his home in Sparwood , BC, was brought back to his home again, safe and sound.
So many people are relieved especially the parents.
I can't imagine the mental anguish they suffered during this time.
The community really pitched in to help find the little guy but by the time they put out the amber alert, the abductor could have taken him to tim buck two.
Our system is very slow but everyone is thankful the abductor realized his mistake and did the right thing.

Have a great day and don't forget to chill while the weather is still good.
:)

A man comes into the ER and yells . . .

'My wife's going to have her baby in the cab. '
I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the lady's dress and began to take off her underwear.
Suddenly I noticed that there were several cabs - - - and I was in the wrong one.

September 11 Tragedy

9/11

Today we remember all who died on that tragic day 10 years ago,
which resulted in nothing less than an inferno of smoke and rubble.
One of North Americas' most tragic hours.
A declaration of war against innocence
by cowards who ran and hid,
by fanatic pretenders, of peace.

In God We Trust
To God we gave our friends and relatives and children
May God cherish and love them now,
While we remember their spirits in our hearts and souls.

Oh Baby Baby!



Now this always up lifts ones spirits to see the birth of a young person
so full of life, dreams and hopes.
An innocent unaware of the world except what you show it.
A little being only wishing to be loved and hugged and kissed.

What an incredible gift to human kind. :)
--------------------------------------------

I got a letter from my sister. She just had a baby. But she didn't say whether it's a boy or girl. So I don't know if I'm an uncle or an aunt.

Dewey and Odell met on the Brownsville main street. "Say," said Dewey, "Ah hurd yew and yore wife is goin' ta night school ta take Spanish lessons. How cum?" "Uh huh," answered Odell. "We went and adopted us a little Mexican baby, and we wanna be able ta understand him when he gets old enough ta talk!"

Mum, are the Smiths very poor people? I don't think so, Jimmy. Why do you ask? Because they made such a fuss when their baby swallowed a coin

Who is bigger - Mrs Bigger or Mrs Bigger's baby? Mrs Bigger's baby, because he's a little Bigger.

A+ for the Turtle



This is the first time I understand how the turtle beat the rabbit

I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose. ~Woody Allen

Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis. ~Jack Handey, "Deep Thoughts," Saturday Night Live

Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward. ~Kurt Vonnegut


Dogs laugh, but they laugh with their tails. What puts man in a higher state of evolution is that he has got his laugh on the right end. ~Max Eastman

Have a great day!

renoir a la lady's life

I guess this painting has been hanging around a long while and requires finishing eventually.
Trouble is once you put the paints away, it takes a while to get back into it. lol




It isn't funny but you have to laugh

Oh my goodness!! lol

lollypop


I was blown away and laughing like a school girl, when my son came home and offered me this huge lollypop.

My mind went back in time to clowns and circus events that came to town.
I truly relished the taste of cotton candy and the sticky crunchy feel of these huge lollypops between my teeth.

I think everyone can relate to those days and to the days we Moms also tried our hand at making such things for our kids especially
Candy canes for Christmas trees and such.

As usual , I began to read the ingredients on the label.
It said made in China and then I came across
titanium dioxide.

My heart fell.

http://www.ccohs.ca/headlines/text186.html

I looked it up and found it to be a cancer causing carcinogen found in many of the products we use every day .

"It is widely used to provide whiteness and opacity to products such as paints, plastics, papers, inks, foods, and toothpastes. It is also used in cosmetic and skin care products, and it is present in almost every sunblock, where it helps protect the skin from ultraviolet light."

It is found in dust in places of employment.

In and of itself in small amounts it should be fine but when combined with everything else we use
daily........... well.........

So up I went to tell my son not to eat lollypops unless I make them at home with natural food coloring. He could not believe it and it became a learning experience for him.

I thanked him for the lovely thought.
But now this gorgeous Pop is going into the garbage.

:(

Now I will go and design my own from this
site:
http://sugarbombbakeryblog.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/bunny-lollipops-for-spring/

I think we never grow out of eating our pops. :)


Have a great day!

Doin Somethin Right



Every day, in between all the wrongs, there is always a little something we do right and it makes us feel wonderful.
It doesn't take much to makes ones' day or maybe someone elses' day.
Bill Currington makes it all look so easy.
--------------------------------------------

A distraught senior citizen

Phoned her doctor's office.
'Is it true,' she wanted to know,
'that the medication
You prescribed has to be taken
For the rest of my life?'
'Yes, I'm afraid so,' the doctor told her.
There was a moment of silence
Before the senior lady replied,
I'm wondering, then,
Just how serious is my condition
Because this prescription is marked
'NO REFILLS'.'


***********************

An older gentleman was
On the operating table
Awaiting surgery
And he insisted that his son,
A renowned surgeon,
Perform the operation.
As he was about to get the anesthesia,
He asked to speak to his son
'Yes, Dad, what is it? '
'Don't be nervous, son;
Do your best
And just remember,
If it doesn't go well,
If something happens to me,
Your mother
Is going to come and
Live with you and your wife....'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (I LOVE IT!)

Aging:
Eventually you will reach a point
When you stop lying about your age
And start bragging about it. This is so true. I love

to hear them say "you don't look that old."
---------------------------------

Some people
Try to turn back their odometers.
Not me!
I want people to know 'why'
I look this way.
I've traveled a long way
And some of the roads weren't paved.
================================


And some of us never grow old. Like me.I stopped at 23.Now I live far out....like Jupiter.Time is slower up there lol

Life Liberty and Love




Man cannot live by bread alone and here we have an example of why.

I walk alone in a deep dark wood
To find two eyes, watching from afar
And as we meet we feel a yearn
To share our lives our food and hearth
And so I stay beside the fire
While Two Eyes swoons and drifts to sleep
We share the warmth and watch the smoke
Send up a message to Mother Earth.
When sunlight streaks upon our faces
We wake and shake away the sleep
And we continue on our path
To life and liberty and love.
A Lady's life
------------------------------------

A man has a dog that snores in his sleep. Annoyed, because she can't sleep, his wife goes to the vet to see if he can help. The vet tells the woman to tie a ribbon around the dog's testicles and he will stop snoring.

A few hours after going to bed, the dog is snoring as usual. Finally, unable to sleep, she goes to the closet and grabs a piece of ribbon and ties it around the dog's testicles, and sure enough, the dog stops snoring. The woman is amazed!

Later that night, her husband returns home drunk from being out with his buddies. He climbs into bed, falls asleep, and begins snoring very loudly. The woman thinks maybe the ribbon will work on him. So she goes to the closet again, grabs a piece of ribbon, and ties it around her husband's testicles. Amazingly, it also works on him!

The woman sleeps very soundly.
The next morning, the husband wakes up very hung over.
He tumbles into the bathroom to urinate. As he is standing in front of the toilet, he looks in the mirror and sees a blue ribbon attached to his privates.

He is very confused, and, as he walks back into the bedroom, he notices a red ribbon attached to his dog's testicles.

He shakes his head, looks down at the dog and says:
"Boy, don't remember where we were or what we did, but, by God, we got first and second place!"

Happy Labour Day

Today is a day to enjoy at home with family, preferably by a body of water.
The sounds smells and light reflecting off the surface of the seas, take one way
back to the beginning, when it all began.

A day such as this, how is one to forget?
How is one not to share in both the peace and danger of it?
A little crab scurrying away from death
Whisked away by a strange fluke wave
Saved by danger.

Love Life

Have a great one!

Teachers Strike -



A beginning of a school year and WHAM!
Teachers threatening a strike, first by stopping administrative work.

I really feel what the BC teachers are doing right now is not right.
Do they not see what is happening in the world?
It is important to keep the cost of living low so man does not need to beg for a home or food.
Starving students do not learn.

The kids will learn, graduate and then what.......stand in unemployment lines?
There are only so many teacher jobs and coffee shops and then once people feel they can't afford kids, these jobs will close down as well.

Kids will learn from home, through computers and with on line tutors.
If teachers think 35 students per class is too much, one teacher could have as many as 5000 on line students.

From personal experience, I know a child can learn in 5 months, what elementary schools take 2 years to teach. At this rate, kids have time to begin school later, giving them more play or child time, and finishing elementary school much sooner than expected.

The system is not working for many people and is in danger of all coming apart.
Computers are taking away many peoples jobs today, needed to pay the bills and taxes which keep rising.

Pretty soon kids will have a chip installed into their brain and become nuclear physicists
in grade school. This will leave them the rest of their lives to produce or discover more knowledge.
They will be able to retire at 21 years of age if they wanted to lol

Come to think of it, paraplegics may also have a chip installed in the area where the nerve endings were cut and have them stimulated to receive and send messages from the brain to the body, resulting in living a normal life. Anything is possible today but this sort of thing results in more caregiver and nursing jobs being eliminated.

I think when you have a job in bad times, you are lucky.
There is a time when asking for more, is just tipping the bucket over and may get you less.
Just sayin.

It might be just Unions trying to show they are still useful but they don't have the clout they used to have. They make matters worse by creating more stress on families who do not need any more.

A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in British Columbia when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.


The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me a calf?"

Bud looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany .

Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer, turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says Bud.

He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then Bud says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"

"You're a Member of Parliament from Ottawa ", says Bud.

"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"

"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment bought with taxpayers dollars trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter.

This is a herd of sheep. .......

Now give me back my dog.

Chip




It almost looks carved out but nope. This Golden Retriever chip came right out of the box this way.
My boys make fun of me and check out each chip I take out before I do.lol
It made for a nice shot on my son's Play Station.
I didn't find anymore like it.

Everyone is going to the
PNE
these days to get in on the fun.
They still have the old wood roller coaster as well as the metal one.
My son loves the bungy drop .
They strap you into a brace and then you get lifted high into the air to a pole.
Once there, you untie a rope fall and swing in mid air.
It's perfectly safe since the whole body seems to be tressed up.
Much better than just having your feet clamped.
My son came home beaming he tried it and survived.
I guess before I know it ,this thrill seeker, will go sky diving. lol
I sure hope not.

One thing I wouldn't mind doing is kite flying.
You are able to control the kite and just soaring in freedom like that must be great.
The closest I ever got to that was in Disney land.
They have this marvelous indoor ride or what feels like a ride.
Everyone sits on long benches which rise a few feet to get more people into more benches.
Then this cool wind blows on you and you are off soaring through the skies.
You fly close to the water you can almost touch.
You fly over trees and hills and the view is spectacular.
And
Its not dangerous lol
I could fly this way all day.
The other feature Disneyland had which I found to be great is the
hologram .
They make them so real that if you didn't know,
you would not believe it.

I will never forget taking my Dad to Universal Studios,When he found out how movies were made, he was so disappointed.
He always thought everything he saw was real.
He was not impressed with bullets coming out of the ground instead of from a rifle.
When he saw the small boats in a pond that were photographed as big ships he was
truly upset to be so deceived lol
At least now he understood that actors just play like children all day making films.
Its a fun life.
One day Chip will make his debut but for now he is fine sitting in my blog post lol.


Youth Issues - Saying NO



Brian Tobins' son was finally given a verdict of guilty for killing his best friend while drinking and driving. He got a three year jail term.

The family and friends of the dead boy wanted a harsher sentence than what Tobin got.
http://www.protectionservices.ca/f17/brian-tobin-s-son-charged-parking-garage-death-friend-5387/

"Police say that after a night of drinking at a nearby pub, Tobin's friend ended up trapped under a truck about an hour after local bars closed.

Tobin and two friends piled into a rented Dodge Ram pickup truck shortly before 3 a.m. and did doughnuts on the fifth, uncovered, level of a parking garage while other friends watched, police said.

The victim, an Ottawa man, either fell from a passenger seat or the truck's bed as it spun around in circles and swerved, police say."
------------
From this excerpt, one can see the death was a result of youth foolery ending in tragedy.The victim probably was also drunk.
------------
Then I still remember Laura Szendreis' case where by a very nice girl was batted in the head by a young man who no one ever expected to do something like this.He was never in trouble. Always quiet.
We know the boys' family personally going back to kindergarten.

Everyone was upset during this time because someone was going around hitting women in the head from behind but until Laura, no one died.
Then to finally find out who did it??

Well , one could say this was very disturbing to say the least.

From what was written on the internet, people described the boy as a monster.
Another Ted Bundy.

But knowing the boys' family personally I could just cry because this is a tragedy.
Two young people destroyed, for nothing.

How was it no one saw it coming?
We as a community, failed this boy.
We pay more attention to minority issues and fight in wars where more people die, while our own childrens' eyes sit watching, in sorrow, hurting.

So I have to again go back in time and again resift the reasons why it is so important to allow kids to be kids
and not burden them with grown up issues which do nothing but confuse.Kids do not know how to self censor.

Media is very much to blame because not only do they propagate misinformation but they also push bad things for financial gain. When you ask them to print the truth, they say if they did, they would lose advertising.
So if the advertising was coming mostly from say Mafia??? they would never print anything against the mafia or face the prospect of closing down. So if they can't print the truth, then why do people. communities need them?
Kids read and believe what they print.

When you help to buy and sell peoples' souls, I'd have to say a line is crossed.

Examples:

Offering kids birth control and abortions without parent consent or knowledge,
Pushing of alternative lifestyles in high school before kids have their own
inner selves sorted out.
Saying things like free sex is natural and normal before establishing what separates us from a lowly animal which has rules to follow.
Promoting sex before marriage as ok
Promoting individualism before a child is ready to stand alone or even vote.
Pushing that marijuana is ok.
I can go on and on because there is a lot to say today.

Kids should not be provided with info they are not ready for.
More importantly kids should have the love and support of their parents in a stable environment.
Parents should have the ability to control their kids.
Parents do not have the right to live a so called adult life, under their childrens' noses.

Liberal ideology dissolves and destroys families by pushing ideas kids can't handle and who then are lost in the society jungle.
They say everything is ok for a vote.

Are we not here to live for and protect our children or do we live just for ourselves?
If we are here to just live for ourselves then our purpose for existence is over.
There is no future to look forward to.

The future is always about youth.
Once upon a time it was about us.
The future lies now with our babies and their babies.

It is every parents' responsibility to say NO to child abuse, regardless of where it comes from and it comes through tv music,radio,schools,gangs,news,computers .It comes from within families themselves, from irresponsible adults , disregarding, for a buck, the rights of innocents.
No one escapes the last one.We are all guilty. lol

Everything one says and does is viewed by innocent hungry eyes searching for knowledge, who learn all the mistakes .

It takes self discipline to learn, to educate oneself.
This self discipline doesn't stop once you graduate but is a life discipline you carry all your life,passing it on to others because it is the right thing to do.

People are not born individuals. They are born dependents and grow into individuals after being exposed to the world and learning from it.
But there is such a thing as over saturation.

When children kill, there comes a time to say woah!
Hold on there and pull in the reins.

Society, as it stands today, can't do this.
Parents can't. Churches can't. Government can't. Teachers can't.
Try to expose evil and then wait to get trampled over by it.
It will sooner put a noose over your neck than loose its' grip on the young .
And then we watch the young die and point fingers at each other.

Why did we not all hold hands before and stand up to what's wrong in our world and say no?

Freedom, is to have a right to say no and no one should have to be afraid to say it.
It's too late to cry after blood is spilt.

Dog Licensing

4957 votes

22% all dogs should be licensed
38% all dogs and cats
8%not mandatory but good idea
32% its a cash grab.

These polls always impress me.
Where how and why do people get their opinions?
Whose voice will a democratic government, consisting of a free people listen to?
Our system is supposed to protect the minorities against majorities and this has caused many an issue to arise out of otherwise very clear views as to how we want to live and be governed.
It caused many laws to be passed people do not want.It causes money to be freely thrown away by governing bodies who do not break their backs making it.
It causes inflation, recession, jobs leaving, more people asking for hand outs than necessary.

Taxes were supposed to be temporary things and people ran to free lands, to get away from them.
Here our taxes are being used in ways we do not necessarily want them to be used and more demands made for money, for issues we do not support.

So the question is:
Should we be forced to pay taxes?

Should this not be an individual or corporate decision to pay them?
Where should government get money from?
lotteries?
Play Centers?
Entertainment?

I mean, this is where most of the money is made today.
Actors become billionaires overnight for bad behavior, vanity, and for making public spectacles of themselves.
People love to read, see and watch gossip in big headlines.
Should media therefore be taxed as opposed to individuals per se?

Should people pay to read headlines in the news?


Personally I think revenue can come from other sources rather than taxing a man as an individual. As it stands right now, we pay taxes and then repay taxes on already taxed things and do not get value for our money.
For example fruit. It's expensive. Goes on a long journey through many hands.
By the time it reaches your table, it's also rotten.

Interesting venue of discussion.

Egyptian Ingenuity


Ancient Egypt had ways of creating energy and this article below is very interesting.
and worth looking up.

Create Energy...read the article

It dates all the way back to the days of Jesus where scientists said they found no soot deep inside pyramids which they should have, if they only used fire from candles and oil for light.
It is believed Egypt knew how to make batteries and light bulbs.

Today, we could use one light bulb to light a whole house at night by using mirrors placed in strategic places.
Not many people do however but it would be a good selling point I think.

Like in my house, as a selling point, the contractor put in so many ceiling lights which constantly burn out.
I rarely changed a bulb in my Mothers house and they used regular GE light bulbs.

Nothing replaces good ol fashion sunlight and so we should go outside to enjoy it for good mental and physical health.

Solar power absorbed during the day, light up our back yards but these little power lights can also be used to light up our homes.

Today with a little ingenuity, life can be a lot of fun figuring things out in each home.We always have wind to supplement sunlight power.
---------------------------------------------------------

I can't help but feel that with our planet being so old,man and technology existed before and was for some reason annihilated by some disaster like the dinosaurs were. Maybe it was whipped around the galaxy before finding this orbit we are on today.
The planet has a way of churning itself in such a way so as to destroy all evidence of previous existence of life.

Maybe some escaped and then once things cooled off and the planet was again capable of supporting life, man began again from scratch.
With everything destroyed, he was left with little in terms of learning and had to begin from scratch as a caveman.

Today with impending prophesies of doom in 2012,this could happen again.
We see disaster after disaster unlike anything we've seen in our lifetime or maybe life was always the same except that it wasn't advertised as it is today.
People just died and no one knew.It is predicted that the Atlantic will disappear as will the Mediterranean and Australia will join with Asia.How will it happen? Slowly or Quickly?

In Australia, the Aboriginals discovered by sailors,lived off the land and rarely stayed in the same place for very long.They built no shelters and left no visible traces that they were ever there.They knew how to survive though in places where
others would definitely die.

This morning in BC, we fear cougars wolves and bears which are coming down from the North to feast on the weak and the feeble.Yesterday two children were attacked by a cougar on Vancouver Island and is being hunted now by the police. People are advised to stay away from bogs and wood trails because we seem to be having more and more incidences of attacks.
What can you do?
I guess we have to go back to cow boy days and carry a gun for personal safety or risk being mauled by a wild animal.

On the other hand raccoons are proliferating at an amazing pace in the lower mainland and as people are not allowed to shoot them, they are next to impossible to get rid of.
They are extremely intelligent.
A good supply of cougars lynx and bobcats would resolve the problem.
As usual, man interferes.

Today Canada is also switching from analog to digital.Everyone will need a special 30 dollar box connected to the regular tv set now to watch it.

That's all the interesting news for today folks :)

multitasking

 

Posted by Picasa





Today on MSN they had a question : Do you multitask while driving.
I said yes.
Of course over 73% said they didn't and I had to laugh.

On TV they show MCDonald Drive throughs, with people buying coffee ice cream .
You never see people with two hands on the wheel at all times.

People smoke while driving. Always have.
They keep one arm out of the window.
They scratch their heads, pick their noses,show an annoying driver their middle finger,

And even if you had two hands on the wheel, the anxiety and frustration you suffer on the highway may force you to make grave decisions like driving too close to the car in front.Or using two hands to make a harder turn than one hand would, causing the car to roll.Dancing and singing in the car seat with two hands on the wheel is multitasking.

Reading signs on the road, trying to stop sun glaring into your eyes in areas you can't stop.
Having something blow through your window you have to get out of your face and eyes.etc..

To make a long story short, we used to live in a thinking society and to pass laws to stop multitasking is to say that we are not a thinking society anymore.
Laws pertaining to this opens people to abuse because there is no way to drive without multitasking.
Driving itself is multitasking

You need two feet in standard cars
Even if you give manual hand signals you multitask as part of the driving standard.
Even seat belts and balloons which blow into your chest at 300 mi an hour are not safe.The belt slides up into your neck and requires adjusting.

Today there is no such thing as being safe.
The more laws we have the more tension it puts on people, the more people crack up and the more crime they commit.Now they are trying to add multitasking.

Laws today make us all criminals because we cannot follow all of them.
It opens doors to critics who themselves have things one can criticize.

So why do we pass stupid laws?
Stupid laws are passed to extort money and extortion, legal or not , is a crime.
It again creates tense people who go out and then commit more crimes.

It is better to have people understand and be corrected when they don't, so next time they try harder to do the right thing but even then, we make it a point, to point out and object to laws like same sex marriage and abortion and prostitution etc...

Laws promoting a lifestyle that may not be safe.

So....... going back to multitasking again.
Why is it wrong again? lol

one huge tomale


http://rt.com/news/giant-tomato-car-siberia-387/


A tomato weighing won a Siberian farmer a car.
Now that's what I call a tomato.
Restaurants can use one like it to make a ton of salads lol


Yury Babayev became the triumphant winner of this year’s contest in Krasnoyarsk Region’s town of Minusinsk. The tomato, weighing in at a robust 2.146 kilos, broke a new record for Siberia.

The two-kilo-breaching salad item brought the tenacious farmer a Russian-made Lada 2107 car.

The heaviest tomato ever, weighing 3.51 kg, was grown by Gordon Graham of Edmond, Oklahoma state in 1986 – the same year the Chernobyl disaster changed the world.
=============================================================

Hieroglyphics


Written across the wall of the cave were the following symbols:
It was considered a unique find and the writings were said to be at least 3000 years old!
The piece of stone was removed, brought to the museum, and archaeologists from around the world came to study the ancient symbols.
They held a huge meeting after months of conferences to discuss the meaning of the markings.

The President of the society pointed to first drawing and said:

"This is a woman. We can see these people held women in high esteem.
You can also tell they were intelligent, as the next symbol is a donkey, so they were smart enough to have animals help them till the soil.

The next drawing is a shovel, which means they had tools to help them.

Even further proof of their high intelligence is the fish which means that if a famine hit the earth and food didn't grow, they seek food from the sea.

The last symbol appears to be the Star of David which means they were evidently Hebrews.''

The audience applauded enthusiastically.


Then a little old Jewish man stood up in the back of the room and said,

"Idiots...Hebrew is read from right to left...
It says:
''Holy Mackerel, Dig The Ass On That Chick"
