Rich Inheritance

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EttSfBRZy8Y

I really like the way they put this video together.
It's inspirational.

I mean, people expect an inheritance from people they love.

What better way to show love and prosperity, than to leave the world,
the way you got it, when you were born?

I look at my country and think how lucky I am to be born and so spoiled by the people I live with,surrounded by  nature I find so overwhelmingly beautiful,
in a time of technology which makes it easier
in terms of food and shelter, traveling , healthcare, and  employment.

I grew up surrounded by love and gave love back in return.
I feel  enriched to be able to forgive those who trespass against their own souls,
 as well as other peoples souls and as well as my own soul.
I feel rich in being able to mourn for those who must be mourned, lost souls, who have needs to
to inflict pain and suffering upon others. 

I roamed this planet enough  to know how spoiled and rich I am in Gods' hands and his holy ghost.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

I am so rich because I know....
Thou preparest a table before me, in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil and
my cup runneth over.

I am enriched to know that....
  Surely goodness and mercy, shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord, for ever.

Adam and Ever lost paradise but they never left Gods' house, because Gods' house has many rooms.
Thus they inherited so much more from  a loving, forgiving, Father,
who stroked their heads and felt their tears tugging at his heart , as he gave them their freedom.

He stands, always with open arms and a gentle smile, for the lambs who come back to him, in need of shelter and warmth .

When I was born into this hard, cold, foreign reality, called life, I feared and felt a spirit touch my head and smile, telling me to be brave and trust, that all shall be well.

Love will prevail as was promised and the sun will always shine through the doors that will open, if one just asks.

 Like Adam and Eve, I am sitting on my Fathers' inheritance, hoping one day to be able to give it all back to him in the same condition, he gave it to me.

Cry Me A Rainbow with Dane Cook

This man is funny I love his comedy.

Today my son Duke got a bigger aquarium to swim in
The pebbles are the same color as his fins so he looks great in there.

My daughter Bella saw him swimming in there.
I don't think she saw him before and today in the bigger tank
she did and boy all heck broke loose.lol
We could not stop her .

I never knew a tiny fish could be so threatening.

My older daughter Tanya sees Bella being so affectionate
and finally realized:" Hey! I can do that too." lol
So she began to be pesty sleeping as close as she can
by your body.

Bella had her teeth brushed today At first she didn't like it
but she let me do them after a few kisses and inspiring
words.

Kids are funny. Even animals.

When they are little, they need you and when they grow up and know 
 everything
you become public enemy number one until they step into a bear trap,
and then there is no place like home.lol

Enjoy

Bottle Reform

So many good things to do with your bottles and
 I love the ones for the plants.

Have fun.xoxoxoxox

Stay with Me.

I came across this video.
 Russians sure have some hot romances lol
I loved the pictures of the flowers and the song is
also about tender love.

It says something to the effect :

Stay with me a while
Don't go away.
It is beautiful here
I will cover you with kisses
My heart is bursting, waiting to share our love.

Ahh!
Takes me back to the days of my youth.
I was very fortunate to have found so genteel  a man
to love me so and for me to love.
Together, we could conquer the world.

If people could find a love such as what
we had , it would be a good world to live in.
Growing up in a time when songs were about angels
and peace and flower children, was also
a plus.
The gentle rustling of ruffled skirts,
bright colors, long hair blowing in a gentle wind,
opened up hearts and minds as flowers
to a glorious sunlit dawn.

We never listened to bands like Alice Cooper,
so our world was even then shut in, limited
not by laws but our our spirits who longed
for genteel beauty .
Even bars were not attractive to us.
We spent time cycling, swimming, boating, taking long walks
in autumn leaves, sitting by brooks and finding
 old water mills, which now stood silent.
The world in nature was a much nicer place
than the world of noise and drugs and liquor.
We walked for miles hand in hand, circling the planet,
exploring, searching for the meaning of our existence.

We found the sadness of goodness every where we looked and
the goodness of sadness besought by people in their struggles
to stay alive.
Such is the world we live in.
People needing people, cries for love, willing to
sacrifice everything for one moment of peace and bliss, and
the sharing of souls.

P.E.I. You Gotta Love Em.

These guys are havin fun.
Oh ya?
This is the new P.E. I. English, people learn in school
If you dont speak this way, you dont make the grade.
People just will not understand you.

Hard to get offended as a gorby though.
Just listening to them insult each other
makes you want to laugh.
You see them as tools and darts and hosers... even sceveys
wearing them bunny huggers
but in a hi -yu, a spinny is just as easy as a puck bunny
which can get guys into a major kerfluffle.
the links at the end of the video are funny too, showing how polite
 Canucks are and what they really think of you.
Just keep clicking on the top left corner of the video.
Salut!
Stay tough Canada.
 GREEK LEGAL SYSTEM

THE LEGAL SYSTEM!!
A man and his wife were getting a divorce at a local court in Greece;
but the custody of their children posed a problem.

The mother jumped to her feet and protested to the judge that since
she had brought the children into this world, she should retain
custody of them.

The man also wanted custody of his children, so the judge asked for
his side of the story.

After a long moment of silence, the man rose from his chair and replied:

"Your Honor, when I put a coin into a vending machine, and a Coke
comes out, does the Coke belong to me or to the machine?"

DON'T LAUGH...... HE WON!!!

Shirley McClean - The True Messiah.

https://philosophynow.org/issues/91/Hallucinatory_Experience_and_Religion_Formation

If anyone ever experienced sleep paralysis or an out of body experience,

they, like many of the prophets religion is based on, may begin their own religion and beget as many followers as long as people are willing to listen.

 Shirley McLean comes to mind cause she professes to have had many.

So is there something that is a true religion?

Well unfortunately or fortunately, the Jews are still looking for Messiah

and Christians believe in the 10 Commandments because of the way they were obtained, etched in stone.

No one knows how this was done or even if Moses had sleep paralysis or an out of body experience. Neither of them would result in words etched in stone.

So what is this miracle we call religion, that both kills and keeps people alive and stops them from killing each other?

Well this is really what religion is supposed to be about.

Religion is about not killing or hurting other people such as yourselves.

Religion is about teaching people not to hurt each other.

Religion is about love.

So it doesn't matter who or what it is all about, in todays' world,

I would say if we could find one religious person, just one, we could say we have a religion.

As long as we have wars and conflicts and arguments, no one is qualified or justified in saying they are standing up for or worth teaching of, a subject called religion.

So people, not to become hypocrites, realize that for them, religion does not exist.

So this makes everything they do lawful unless law becomes the new religion.

But what happens when law is watered or broken down?

It is getting to that point right now.

What happens then?

Who will save man from himself?

Well if Shirley McClean can get enough followers, she can become the new messiah, the new prophet, but will she be the true prophet ?

Who did she meet on her journey to self discovery?

What did these people tell her?

Did she meet God? Jesus? Buddha? ......

Did she meet the Devil?

Today, anyone can become a messiah.

Every person out there who is turning people into killers of innocent people for God, is a messiah.

But the question is, should these people be listened to and who is it they are speaking for?

God?

On judgement day the confrontation will be between the individual and God, because God does not need messengers.

God is.

God is truth and he is in you so he knows when you lie or are lied to.

He gave every one the same message not to follow false prophets.

This is in all of us. Inside each one of us is a truth button.

Many of us go insane when we cannot handle the truth.

Truth..... is hated for that reason because we all have that button which says to us that man

has a lot to learn and has not even scratched the surface of knowing what humanity is all about.

This is saying it the kind way but the harsh cold cruel word is that man is still a savage.

Even animals do not do what man does.

So which prophet teaches to kill? Which prophet teaches to give the other cheek?

Why do we follow the prophet that teaches to kill and not the one that says to have faith and give the other cheek?

The Jews, who believed in peace and in giving the other cheek, after the attempted holocaust,  stopped giving the other cheek because they saw a world following

the teachings of sin . They realized people are narcissists and do what they want to do instead of following the hard road of faith and peace required by the true one God.

They destroy the heaven they live in believing they will be saved to repeat everything they did here ,somewhere else.

Well in this world people have free will to learn to do the right thing.

In the next world God will intervene and make people understand
what the right thing to do is and if one does not understand, well he just will not not be invited in.

I guess with all the planets out there, there is a place for each and every one of us to settle on and live very lonely lives and the smartest will probably develop another human being to share life with and the dummest will  die off.

The above article is a good one for people to read and maybe then they can take a long hard look of what they are fed on every day, professed to be religion and law, organised by false prophets in a world full of laws, which no one is obliged to listen to.

Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring by Bach (With Lyrics)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6OgZCCoXWc
Bach signed most of his work with. To the Greater Glory of God 

"I remember reading for the first time in my freshman year a simple statement by this master musician. Bach said, "Music's only purpose should be the glory of God and the recreation of the human spirit." The more I pondered this sentence, the more it liberated my heart. Music was given to glorify God in heaven and to edify men and women on earth. It wasn't to make lots of money, or to meet my ego needs, or to see my name in lights. Music was about blessing the Lord and blessing others. After months of auditions, rehearsals, recitals, and competitions, the simplicity of Bach's statement was a balm for my soul."

Balancing Destruction From the Inside Out.

Dr. Nicholas Andrew Cummings explains in great detail how gay activist got into control of American psychology in the 1970's and manipulated it from then on for political gain, making sure that being gay was never actually studied and thereby no actual scientific results were ever produced.
THIS IS IMPORTANT! This isn't just any old doctor, THIS IS THE MAN that made the resolution that declassified homosexuality as a mental illness, WHICH IS THE REASON SO MANY PEOPLE IN AMERICA THINK THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING GAY, AND THAT ANYONE WHO DOES IS A CAVE MAN. When Dr. Cummings, as president of the American Psychological Association (APA) made the resolution it was stipulated that honest and open unbiased research would be done on the subject to make sure that this change was accurate scientifically. 

THAT RESEARCH WAS NEVER DONE.

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NyX5CxGraE

It is not surprising to hear and understand how good systems are destroyed today.
And it does not only apply to schools and psychoanalysts but it especially applies
to politics, democracy and even religion when they are watered down into nothing.
Get enough people in to serve the cause and (opposition out) topple the system.

It is not surprising people like Justin Trudeau want to promote drug use.
People who are high, are not vigilant and when you get enough people filled with
hate , they are more vigilant than normal people living normal lives who do not have
such important causes in their lives to fight for. So when you see things like this, a
RED FLAG must go up. How many people sit high in Islamic countries, who
profess to love Muhammad, in issues that only suit them.
In life you can't stop being vigilant about what goes around you.

In any event, lines are crossed when children are involved and pulled into grown up issues.

It is important to keep issues separate.
There maybe issues concerning gay rights but there are also issues concerning
 the rights of children  too.
They are two different issues and one has nothing to do with the other.

In order to grow balanced, children need to learn history and the truth behind it.
They most certainly require parents of both gender. They most certainly should not be
forced to marry young or forced at all into a marriage situation or told that social sex
 is normal and ok History proves otherwise and they are not exposed to history as much as to
todays issues in most media outlets.

Children should  be protected from the so called "adult life",
which is not even healthy for adults.
 Otherwise they fall prey to groups who only care about themselves and their pocket books,
not caring who they go about destroying in the process.

In a free country, every one is entitled to his/her opinion but every day you see these doors being slowly shut.

 Now I know some people believe a lot goes on behind the scenes that is good but what we dont
know is how much goes on behind the scenes that is bad either.
We run into balance issues and people begin to live in over exposed darkness.

There is only one light and it lies in one truth. If society is deprived of learning/knowing this truth,
balance is lost and so is the human race.

OK so where am I headed with this?
Back to the 10 Commandments. lol

xoxoxoxox

 OK crappy genes afflicted by drugs will make you either happy or not.

Syriana.

The movie Syriana with George Cloony is certainly an upsetting one.
We thought having international law would help the world but all it seems to be doing is
bankrupting the world and no laws they pass, seems to be good for the countries, who now have to
fight  and die.

The UN was supposed to ensure that there was no wars
That wars would be prevented and yet here we see that corruption festers every where.
We as a people , have no control as to what they do in these intl organizations as opposed to before.

All the other religions except Islam , change with the times because religion, like everything else, is a living organism.  As times and technology change some things are no longer required like for example air con, cars, refrigerators, computers air planes, shipping of already processed food like pork, beef vegetables etc... It all simplifies life and opens doors for people to do other things.
The world benefits but Islamic people continue to suffer because they refuse to change.
Change is frowned upon and I wonder why?
Is it all because of oil?

People are free to change and use the Koran for what it was designed to do as our Bible
is interpreted to do what it is supposed to do to keep people good.

Some people HATE. They burn with hatred . They probably have to use drugs to calm down and drugs... well they just inspire more hate because they affect brain cells which affect judgement decisions.They can't see beyond their hate. The children in Palestine today will be difficult to treat because of all the pain and suffering they endure from birth. Is land worth all this?
NO. Life is too short.

Today in life there is only one question to ask  when looking at political candidates.
Do they promote good and peace? If not then they should not be allowed to run.

Like our Liberal candidate today is promoting drugs. Marijuana never stops there.
 It leads to other things . It is always laced with other things.
As usual our children are put on the back burner because they dont vote.
They are easier to entice since they are children, with no experience in life to know better.
The liberals always appeal to the poor groups who have nothing and will have even less with them in power providing them with drugs.

Islamic people are just that . Grown up children. Things like Democracy requires maturity
to make the right decisions and to be able to ask the right questions, and to know the difference between right and wrong. Their religion is not showing them the way.
 It is interpreted for them and corrupting them.

One thing about the movie Syriana made me reflect on why Obama said that the US was built by
Muslims when clearly it wasn't.
 It became clear when finding out that 30% of the slaves brought to the US were Muslim. (or so they say).It can never be proven to be true today.

You know.. desert countries can benefit not only from oil but from the sand itself.
Seems melted sand makes glass and the world always needs glass.
 This fact is great for job creation and I wonder why no one thinks of it.

Well Picasa is always in trouble it seems You can't email pics from it. Seems there is a glitch somewhere with Google.

Have a good one.

 putrefaction, the breakdown of tissues by bacteria.

 The chemical substances involved are propionic acid, lactic acid and

 methane, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia.

 Q
Why do fish have scales?

Ans

Scales on a fish provide protection. Hard, sturdy and slippery scales prevent damage from sharp objects like coral, and they protect the fish from predators' sharp teeth.
Scales are bony and overlap, which not only protects the fish, but allows a gliding side-to-side swimming motion. The porcupine fish raises its scales to ward off predators. A shark's scales resemble teeth. Catfish and lamprey do not have scales. In addition to scales, fish have two layers of skin. The outer epidermis produces a slimy substance to ward off fungi and bacteria. The inner skin is tough and bony. Rings on a fish scale indicate its age.

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


Q
Australia has a problem with poisonous cane/marine toads which kills any animal that feeds on it.
So what can kill a cane toad?

Ans
 
Meat ants are able to kill poisonous cane toads, an introduced pest, as the toxins that usually kill a cane toad's predators do not affect the meat ants. The cane toad's normal response to attack, is to stand still and let their toxin kill the attacker, which allows the ants to attack and eat the toad.
Meat ants live in Australia
There are 21 poisonous frogs some can be bred to obtain pain killers if used properly Some are obtained to use in arrows by the natives

Have a good one.

Generation Gap

Walking across Egypt. I still don't understand the title.
Maybe it has to do with the Bible and it being an inspirational movie.

I personally think it has to do with generation gap.

They always talk about generation gap and how people don't understand each other
 Then why do old people get along so well with young people, where as middle aged parents have problems?

Maybe kids and old people have the same vulnerabilities so they can understand each other better
and work hand in hand, to help each other and thus enjoy each others company.
 Adults, who are healthy and self centered and have no patience or time to give to either end of the spectrum are all go go go and in the process, they miss so much life and living.It even includes pastors who do not live by the word of the Lord they preach.

Walking Across Egypt is another good movie I enjoyed.

Coming home from the beach yesterday, we just barely had time to get out of the car when this woman came running calling out her dogs' name. She asked if we saw it and we said no.
Our little dog was barking behind the front door, hearing us come home and the woman asked to see it thinking we stole her dog.
She stood there till we showed her with this accusing look.

It made me think that they must have lost the dog much earlier than she was pretending it happened.
They probably heard her bark and thought we stole it and were waiting to see the car come into the driveway.

Bella had a great time meeting people, kissing kids and swimming. She is a real trooper.
One little boy just followed her and kept patting her till we left.

We watched Mt Baker in Washington State, so cool and full of snow. Such a beautiful sight in hot weather. Usually the tide comes in at 4 pm but in summer it comes in later. You can tell how high it comes in, by the dry sea weed.
The kids like to see the baby crabs in the water and pick up the dead ones sea gulls seem to have feasted on. The pools of water before the tide comes in makes it nice to put down a chair and sit cooling your feet . Makes it nice for parents with young children who can splash around them in the water in safety.

We saw two girls with mermaid tail fins. Must be something new out. Sure takes you aback a bit
till you see people connected to them tails lol

Have a good one.

Lonely Hearts - To Know What One Wants

 Montgomery Clift plays in this movie.
As usual it is taken from life and this makes it a very good movie.

"To thine own self be true" is taught to many a young person
who takes it literally to mean that what ever he/she thinks feels or does is ok.

To be true to oneself means, one can look at ones' self in the mirror and like what one sees.
It also means knowing who ones' self is.

When it comes to the 10 Commandments, it is not many who can look into a mirror
and like what he/she sees.
The written words stand before one, implying guilt, inefficiency, imperfection.
Thus the words " to thine own self be true" becomes a problem rather than a solution.

How can one be true to oneself, if one is guilty and imperfect and not up to the standards
expected of him/her as a human being and as a member of society?

Jesus said let one who is innocent amongst you, cast the first stone.
It is here one understands that because of ones own imperfections, a stone can not be cast.

In todays' world, lacking the 10 Commandments, papers are full of people casting stones at one another. Cheating lying stealing, bullying,killing, etc.. does not hinder them liking the
image they see in the mirror. They look into the mirror and say:  I did good today.
 I was true to myself.

One story today made me laugh. It was about a woman who wrote in about dogs.
She complained and expressed all the reasons as to why dogs should not be around places people are on beaches.
One man commented to her letter and said I agree.
Dogs are disgusting and loud and should be removed from beaches.
We should remove the dogs and then ...........we should remove the people.

It was British kind of humor whereby it was implied that people do more damage to beaches than dogs.
Touchez.

This Other movie: They Knew What They Wanted
is even more touching.
It concerns itself with the very very good, the bad who are also good, and the bad.



People who do suffer because they have a conscience to do the right thing.
To be true to ones self has a lot more meaning in this movie.
Basically I felt the heroine wrote the "Dear John" letter in words, telling her beau
that he was too good for her. The film left you dangling, not knowing
if she would change her mind and come back to live happily ever after.

Because of what life is today, it is hard to find a person who is close to a Saint.
He/she would not stand a chance to survive since the people around him would have no conscience
and pick his/her bones like a crow or vulture.

They would say: Every one uses Everyone and that's ok.

Is it ok?
Good is supposed to beget good. Instead we see good begetting bad.
This is why it is important for the battle to go on.
We will either all kill each other or learn as we were intended to do.

It would be nice to know how it all ends.

Gone to Earth

Jennifer Jones plays a wonderful part here as a simple, animal loving, and kinda crazy girl named Hazel.

I don't remember seeing many of these old movies and they are well worth watching.

Well today was Earth Day for me as I transplanted some plants into different pots.

Carnations , daisies, and other perrenials I have in my yard go to seed so I am waiting to gather them to keep in the fridge and then replant. I had a rose with beautiful flowers I am trying to get the cut stem to root. Sometimes to my surprise it does.
I planted lemon seeds I love lemon trees and now I am looking at the black berry bushes for the
berries and for the leaves to dry to have my own tea.
They are wild so I know there are no chemicals on them.
I think using manure in soil is a much better thing to do than to pay for all these things they tell you will make your plants thrive.
I use them and the plants dont like it.

The World in His Arms

The world in your hands is a great movie with Gregory Peck and Anthony Quin

Gosh were they young back then.

But if you have the salty sea smell in your nostrils, this is a lovely movie to watch.

Back then they thought about conservation. Some more than others.

And Love is always  in the air no matter which country you live in.
When you are in love, the world really is in your hands.

I enjoyed it.

Now the chicken is steaming with baby potatoes waiting for broccoli.
That will be it today for cooking.

I am looking at the face I carved out of bone. Need another smaller tool to finish it then it can be posted.

Have a good one

Taras Bulba

They are showing a lot of Cossack Movies lately
Guess it must be because of the Ukrainian situation.
Taras Bulba is a very well known story and Yul Brenner is wonderful in it as is
Tony Curtis
The Ukraine problem goes way back.
Here it is shown to be fought over by the Cossacks, Turks and Poles.
During WW2 it was the same.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSQ30Iji_XQ

Is it any wonder why Putin insists to get it back.
Throughout history Ukraine has never been free for long.
Fertile land , strategic position etc.. make it an area every one wants.
Today the US has its eye on it and so Putin is hated but say this was Cuba...
well all hell would break loose. Cuba is closer to the US than anyone else
and the US does not like Russia to have friends there.
They feel protective of it as Russia does to Ukraine.

Made very tasty meat balls today with sauce and my vine leaves.

Tried a kale potato soup at Olive Gardens and then made it at home since I had the baby potatoes.
I think my stuff is better  . It is hard to serve hundreds of people and expect
all the food to be made perfect. I have to say it was good but the eggplant parmegiani
and spaghetti was too much for me after trying olives grilled in 4 cheeses and soup.
Took a while to digest. Many people took doggy bags home.

I managed to carve one bone today with my dremel but I need a bit that is even smaller than the ones I have. Hope I can find one.

Bella Martadella.

My Beautiful Bella is 6 months old now and looking
 more and more enchanting as she is growing into her
 eyes and body.
She is a wonderful personality and I think she is more
 Havanese than anything else.
They say this breed loves to shred toilet paper
Yes, so true.
They love to train their owners.
Yes .That's so true as well.
They say they are loving social dogs and get anxious when left alone.
Yes. Bingo.
This is a dog definitely for stay at home people or maybe a travelling
companion.
Loyal , friendly, and very loving,
they would make excellent dogs for hospitals
as they are soft , long haired kissers.

The other day we took her out and she enjoyed her head
being stuck out the window but she keeps stepping on the
automatic window opener button and it shuts on her neck.
Gosh! So scary. Poor puppy.

Tanya gave up and is friends with her now but Tanya is a very
loyal old dog and no one can come near me except another dog and family. lol
So poor thing has to be separated from visitors.
Kinda sucks.
Sometimes she behaves and she is certainly given the chance to but it is
tricky and when she gives into guard patrol, she has to go to her room.
So far Bella has not learned to be unfriendly to strangers.
Makes it so much easier and nicer.
I hope you like her portrait.

Have a great day.

Slip and Slide Life

Ballet Slippers was a very nice movie of struggle to live and to
achieve ones dreams.
Goes to show united we stand, divided we fall.
 A lot more fun to be united.

Another beautiful Saturday to enjoy  and so many places to enjoy it in.

I used my dremel yesterday to cut through a thick bone.
I am excited about carving it now using the dremel.
I am bleaching the pieces in vinegar and salt solution.

Hope what ever I make turns out lol
When you get new toys, it takes a while to learn how to use them.
It will be a new experience.

Have a great one

Sing Carrot Sing!

This is just so amazing!

Visiting Sunshine

Days of sunshine and warm weather are a bliss and being enjoyed these days. We had visitors which was a welcome delight. We ate crabs , did some shopping and feasted on oceans' views. It was also a chance to get some house cleaning done. Days fly by and we are alarmed that summer is already in mid stream. Today already seems much cooler and the fans were shut down. Bella was quite a sociable young lady and entertained our guests. They seemed to love her as much as we do. The grass seems to be growing a lot this summer. It sure is a pain to keep thinking we need to give it another cut. Hope you are enjoying the outdoors. xoxoxoxoox

Who Pulls The Strings?

Stradivini is another excellent movie with Anthony Quin who plays a violin maker.
It comes in two parts.
I also watched The Red Violin which is also wonderful and worth watching on you tube.
Back then every piece was carved by hand and today these violins are sold for over a million dollars
because of the history behind them and who played them.

Makes me wish I played the violin.
but then I'd be crying most of the time because the strings do tug at the heart.
This is why it is such a special instrument.
-------------

Today was dog clipping day. My Bella screamed blue murder. Ayayyay!
Don't like this! Don't like that ! lol
but she came out looking beautiful.
After a few more times she will know the groomer and accept what has to be done.
(I hope).
Then we were glued to the news and the M17 crash.
What a terrible thing to happen. One family has people lost now on two Malay planes.
Andrei Anghel was a 24 year old Canadian, learning to become a doctor, flying to Bali.

After listening to a panel discussing the issue, there was only one fellow, A Professor of Russian studies, who spoke the truth.
The world is full of opinions understanding nothing as usual. Including Mr Obama.

This man said you can have an opinion but you can't change the facts and the facts tell a different story.
They are attacking Mr Putin to create another problem in the world.
Every one is pointing fingers because someone needs to pay for the crime.
How do you pay for a mistake?  All seems so senseless.

Someone is profiting from all this trouble not caring about all the loss of blood and heart ache.
 The people are still lying on the field in pieces and no one knows when they will be picked up,
while looters walk around picking up things they find on the ground.
Just unimaginable.
A while back, before 9/11, there was one woman who disclosed that soon there will be a cleansing of the world of people, because there are just too many mouths to feed.

Then all this trouble began. One thing after another.

The Sun Shines and Innocents Die.

The Sun Shines Bright by John Ford.1953

 What a great movie Sure shines a BRIGHT light on
 relationships between people and race.

Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner but he believed in human rights. His major achievements; "his preamble has been considered an enduring statement of human rights.[52] "All men are created equal" has been called one of his best-known sentences and was promoted by Abraham Lincoln." We give ol Abe credit for another mans' words. The main worry at that time was what was a slave to do once he was freed and needed to look for a job? Many slave owners treated their workers very well. They worked in exchange for food, shelter, clothing, etc.... and that was not cheap in those times to do. Its nice to hear something good about this era as opposed to hate and violence.
 Transition to freedom was bound to happen sooner or later.
Today listening to the petty political arguments going around the world, I think men are not born equal.
Women are not considered human and there fore do not require education or rights.
Children are there to send out for meat in war including ours.

It is a sad state of affairs for religion and for politics.
Neither group is doing the job they were designed to do.

Religion is to keep peace through love but even brothers have no love for their own brothers today.

Politics is supposed to be there to organize a society so it has food shelter schools water jobs
celebration and instead they sit and bicker because the ones running for politics are not honorable men and women interested to do good. Like law , it is all about law and not justice. It is not about doing the right thing.. They lie cheat steal... how can we trust their judgement decisions when making
rules and laws? for example how can they justify Human Rights to relate to abusive prostitution?
Today we do not need Unions with the existence of Human Rights do we? But we do.
If companies did to their employees what pimps do to theirs, they would be closed down.

Plastics in water apparently change male fish into females so one wonders how it relates to people and the sudden rise in the gay population. Should we not therefore be concerned about
creating healing water as found in the hot springs and water around volcanoes?
We have so many things to worry about and yet we are all distracted by the world around us
who sits and fights to live, by killing you, for doing the right thing.

Why is it they don't do the right thing at home? It would keep them busy and away from killing
and this would make us all happy.

We speak of killing of innocent people. How can the HAMAS infested area call itself innocent when they send people to die in suicide bombings.
Innocence in Palestine has long been lost since before Yasser Arafat times. The man kissed hands and then bombed. Collected Nobel Peace Prizes and then bombed.
 Everything the free world does, is meaningless to them unless it is their way.
We are not their brothers and never will be.
All these kids will grow hating and damaged by their religion.
Yes the sun shines and innocents die but we are not innocent as long as we support and send our children to war.

Look at how Mexico decided to invade the US and turn it into a Spanish country?
It makes sure the kids cross the border and turns the US into a political mess because they can't do a thing about it.
Ghandi did this. Cuba did this and now Islam is doing this.
Our laws have to be changed and enforced or crime will grow and then INNOCENT people will die here.
In order for multiculturalism to succeed, people have to live and work and study together and not in separate communities. People have to be kept innocent of differences and what unites us, has to be enforced.

Have a great one

Beauty of Grace

Watching the Princess Grace of Monaco movie,
 I could understand why Prince Rainier loved her so.
She did so much for Monaco and was admired by all
who came into contact with her.
She is similar to Queen Elizabeth and Princes Diana who also took their
 duties seriously more so than the other royals.

These are beautiful women, setting great role models for many
to follow.
I am sure the lives they led/lead are not easy but it is nice to know
that somewhere in this world, duty inspires politeness, gentleness of spirit ,
teaches leaders to be kind and caring of the people in their country who love
and support them.
By such royals, people are inspired to be better people in nations that would otherwise
lose the meaning of such things as dignity, self respect, honesty, grace,....

Like Nicole Kidman said: It is a fairy tale that can come true for every one.

I think Nicole Kidman did a wonderful job portraying Princess Grace.
Great movie.

CONGRATULATIONS GERMANY WORLD FIFA CHAMPIONS!!!

It was not the most exciting game but Germany finally pulled through before penalty kicks, in overtime. Argentina had plenty of chances to score 3 goals but screwed up. Messi was a very bad loser but hey! It wasn't theirs today. Schweinsteiger made such a mess on the field confusing every one and injuring himself so many times. He wanted it so bad he could taste it and this is what it takes to win. I never saw so many head bangin in one game like in this one. I was surprised they had players left to play. One thing I did notice was the shin guards. They all wore long thick ones. The close ups when they tangled legs and feet looked so dangerous. Boy. I hope they get a chance to enjoy the beach before going home. Big party tonight for these guys lol xoxoxoxoxox

Carpet Laughter.

I don't usually like Joan Rivers cause sometimes she goes too far and gets gross but this
episode made me laugh.

The weather is super duper these days so I took out the carpets and hung them to wash on the porch.
I used Ivory dish washing liquid and a good jet stream from the hose and now they are drip drying in the sun. Power washing carpets is the new thing dontcha know.
The sun should kill anything left in them should there be something.

My Mom used to take out her Indian rug out in winter to clean in the snow.
We would both be there throwing snow on it and swooshing the broom on both sides of it.
It came back in fresh and clean. We never had dirt or dust or chemicals in it.

My Mom was meticulous that way. Everything had to be disinfected all the time.
No one allowed on the rug.
Her floors were polished to a mirror shine and she would sit talking about her floors all the time cause no one was allowed to walk on them either .
 My Dad one day got mad at her and told her he would remove the floors if she continued to bicker about them. When we sold our house the people who bought it stripped all her wood floors and tiled them My Mom was heart broken. lol
Had she known, we would have used them.

No wonder I am the exact opposite of her. I say dirt is good for you.
Farmers sit in it all their lives and a good farmer knows his soil by the texture and taste of it
and you know what they use to fertilize soil dontcha ? lol
 When we would drive by a field freshly fertilized by cow manure, we would take a deep whiff and say hmmm Good Fresh Air!!
while my Mom who hated dirt and farms, would be turning green.
My Dad and I enjoyed playing with her this way.

As she got older she got over it cause we loved farms and towards the end, I'd take her to the horse club where my kids would ride and she and I would enjoy feeding the horses carrots.
What a lovely life to live amongst such gentle beasts who really perk up when they see you coming with a bag of greens. Doesn't take long before 10-15 horses surround you waiting their turn to crunch.

I love throw carpets for this cleaning reason. The wall to wall can never really be clean cause they lay them over dirt to begin with so when they get wet, guess what you are wetting under neath on the wood?
Have a great Day!

Ball of Christmas Faith

I found this bauble I made a while back because people were saying
Christmas should be about Jesus. So this one, is all about icons representing Mother and child. and a story of peace love being promoted through the Saints. It is nice to decorate the tree with a true Christmas message. I like every year to be a different tree. One year it was all teddy bears. One year all ribbons and stars. One year all Santas. One year all candles. One year all things pertaining to the birth... Donkeys lambs mangers wise men and of course Mary with Jesus and Joseph. One year angels, one year snowflakes.

 Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen.
All about a young girls dreams and fantasies learning about life.

Hard Times

This is something I did and it turned out I think.
 Different.


 Tess of D'uberville is a very nice classical movie.
I enjoyed it. I have the book and sure would love reading it again.
 Complications of Love in Society.




Have a nice day.

 xoxoxoxoxox

the great deception

This is interesting cause it says all the visions people see of the Virgin Mary and the crying Icons are a deception Before the end of times the Bible speaks of false gods prophets angels and that the only way to God is through his son. Today holograms are so real, that one cannot tell they are not real people. And Mary would not give a speech about herself and her importance, if she was speaking for her son. England told her people not to go to places like Syria where they will be in danger and can't be trusted not to become terrorists on their way back home People dont care about the country they live in and go anyway. They are so misguided so as to say when Jesus returns, he will make every one Muslim. Such beliefs can only conclude that when they come back, they might be trained assassins and Britain is right in believing something like this could happen. Jesus is so far away from the Islamic reality . He, for one thing , was a pacifist, a lamb led to slaughter. He would be more like Ghandi than Muhammad. He put himself into harms way but never his people. He said he would die so his word could live. He was a true leader. The fight was spiritual having to do with faith in the good. When you believe in good, you cannot do bad things,to hurt people. You walk through life in innocence. How many people can say they do that today? Do we need to look at our Charter of Rights and Freedoms again and change it so it becomes more effective in doing the job it was really intended to do, to promote good? Truth is the biggest sword anyone can carry. Truth is feared and hated. People fight to keep the lies but truth stands on its' own. Religion, as it pertains to Christ, is about truth. We have to remember why Christianity came into existence. It was because of the sadistic cruelty that existed whereby man lived in fear every day. When it comes to free countries, we stay in the middle of the road so balance exists and in this way, we keep peace. Once the balance is lost, trouble begins. xoxoxoxoxo

To Love Is To Sin

 Two boys were arguing when the teacher entered the room. The teacher says, "Why are you arguing?" One boy answers, "We found a ten dollor bill and decided to give it to whoever tells the biggest lie." "You should be ashamed of yourselves," said the teacher, "When I was your age I didn't even know what a lie was!" The boys gave the ten dollars to the teacher.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh the good ol days when we had to go to confession.

It was a nightmare for me.
What was I to confess?
Of course I always went to the 10 Command ments
and this was basically what I referred to, to confess from.

Not listening to my parents.
Getting angry.
ummm.................nose picking......ummm...putting elbows on the table...um.....

But today I know I am going to hell for sure.

I still get angry or frustrated would be a better word and well..
I am still not listening to my parents
but then my kids dont listen to me either lol
(which is frustrating lol)

I eat too much . Drink too little.(in my opinion)

Sometimes the odd bad word pops out.
 (shiiit!)
I like to bop my husband in the head at times
but then I think he's too little, too cute and funny to bop lol

Abhore housework.

Dislike  cooking.

Sex?  Well .........God better NOT be looking there . lol
Do priests really need to hear ALL the minute details?
This is where one can have fun making things up for them.
and for the alter boys listening behind the walls.

People tire me easily now.

Loss of patience listening to people with empty heads, talking about their rights.
 Don't they understand there is no such thing,
any more than there is freedom?
Most words are an illusion of existence or reality. We are all insane.
Oh and this word "Intolerance"
People are getting sick on this word.
You can't have a yes or no opinion anymore cause its intolerance.
A law = intolerance to something.
To say NO to pass a law is also intolerance.
The way its used today, you can't say no at all so everything has to be yes.
Then people get hurt and all heck breaks loose and you have to ask why?
If you are for tolerance..... then tolerate rape, killing, pedophilia, prostitution , drugs.
.... they get off anyway
because passing laws to stop them =  intolerance.

Irks me that people dont see all the love  and caring I hold inside of me
for the world and family and friends.

Sloth? Well not really. I like messy houses cause they are lived in
When I see a clean house it tells me people either live somewhere else
or this is just not a healthy home.
You need stuff to be the person that you are. Books memorabilia clothes papers...
 coffee stains, dirt....pets...
The toilet should have used towels and the tub should look like someone took a shower in it
and the waste basket should have at least used toilet paper rolls..

Argumentative?  Well I would call it debates and discussions which people don't like doing or dont know how to do. We did a lot of that growing up in school..
In fact, it was a teaching tool to teach you  to think both pro and con.

Hard to get a good discussion going cause people fly off the handle or sit in a daze cause it goes way past over their heads. Now these are the voters they want to day 18 and over and now they want them at 16.
What country do you live in son?
Vancouver. Oh ya? How do you get there from Alberta?
 Well, first you have to fly to California.....

Hey I heard they had some good bargains in California
Ya?
Ya. I went to get a play station and they let you bargain.
Wow ! So how much did you get it for?
Well, they wanted 279.00 and I told them I would not pay more than 299.00 and they said SOLD!!
Cool!

I get... don't talk to her. You just get her going. lol
My sons friends have a gas laughing while my sons hide in shame. lol

When I was a kid I was shy.
SPEAK UP ! WE CAN"T HEAR YOU!

So I learned to speak up. Now I get:
You are talking too loud.

I answer irked... THAT"S CAUSE YOU CAN'T HEAR ME!!!!

I use accents a lot, cause if you don't, people dont understand you.
Russel Peters made a mint exposing just that, using his East Indian Dad
and the arabic/chinese languages when they speak S' English.

Crossing the border the US side always says I have an accent.
Where are you from?
My Answer: From Canada Eh?.

Then I say: You have an accent too. Where are you from?
Should you be working at the border?
R U letting in people you shouldn't,with the wrong accents?
I really want an American at the border.

A tourist in LA is walking through Chinatown when he sees a sign saying, ‘Hans Olafsen’s Laundry’. Curious, he walks into the shop and sees an old Chinese gentleman sitting in the corner. ‘How did this place get a name like Hans Olafsen’s Laundry?’ asks the tourist. The old man says, ‘It’s named after me. I’m Hans Olafsen.’ ‘That’s an unusual name for a Chinese man,’ observes the tourist. ‘Yes,’ says the old man, ‘But when I came to America I was standing in the immigration line behind a man called Hans Olafsen. And when they asked me my name, I said, Sam Ting.’
 -----------------------------------------------------
Our teachers put a lot of stress on DICTION
THE RRRRAIN FROM SPAIN, COMES MAINLY FROM THE PLAIN.
So using diction, turns into an accent,cause people today slur their words
talking too fast.
We had to talk slow, so people could hear and understand you.
You slow down and read with emphasis on question marks and exclamation marks.etc..
Today you look and sound like a moron doing that but I have to say,
we lose a lot by NOT doing it.

So this is another reason why Rap is irksome to the ear.
You just want to slap the guy around silly.
DICTION!! DICTION!! DICTION!!

Basically, I love life.
I love nature, especially the air that I breathe and water and the critters I share it all with.
I think in my past life, if there is such a thing,  I must have been hanged  because I don't like anything around my neck.
In water, I wish I had gills so I could swim forever.

I love sunshine , dancing and singing and flowers and people and peace............
I love to hear laughter. celebration, children, books, knowledge, space
I love artwork symphonies crafts. engineering. fashion. fireworks.............

If you want to get through to alzheimers and parkinsons patients this is how you do it, through
question marks, exclamation points, colors....These are people , sitting, very much alive, trapped inside their heads not knowing how to get out. Stimulate their nerve endings and they find ways.

Ask me: What don't you love?......
 and really I have to say, there is nothing I don't love.

Some things I may not like but only because of love.; As a result of love.

I guess I am very guilty of being SELFISH to wanting and holding on to all my senses
so I could live and feel , touch and desire because these are the things which keep my spirit alive.

My spirit can live forever on good , if be it, sinful memories.

I am a person full of sin and on judgement day, that's all I will ever be able to tell my Father.
 I can't blame the devil saying HE made me do it like Flip Wilson does. (what happened to him?)

You .......GOD...........created me to love and to love .........is to sin.

Take My Love

Leslie Caron is exceptional in this movie
The Glass Slipper
I always liked her movies anyway.
Here she plays Ella from the Cinderella story.

Leslie reminds me of this French teacher we had from France.
She also had short curly hair and a special aura of grace and beauty around her.
She was tiny and muscular , very fit and when she walked into a room,
well all eyes were upon her.
Suddenly we all wanted to learn French lol
She was the kind of lady we only see in movies.

It was a sad day when we came to school and were told that she died
coming back from skiing in the Laurentians.
I wish I could remember her name .
We had her for such a short time but we all cried like she was a
member of the family.
It was a sad loss. She died far away from home and
she had everything to live for.
It took a while to get over the shock of it.

My Dad never allowed me to go to the Laurentians.
My parents were very strict till I was 18 and then just let me go.
Its funny cause I never got into trouble as much as they could have.
My Dad loved cars and in those days driving 120 MILES per HOUR
was nothing. Try doing that today.
Back then we saw our parents as Gods. They could do no wrong.
 Today looking back, mine
were just two normal people
making mistakes like every one else.

Have a good one.

Fancy Lace Baby

I finished this little outfit on Canada Day It is for a newborn to 3 month but
it  took a while to make because of all the lacy stitching.

 As  I was making it, I thought it's a good thing its not for a big kid cause it
 would take a month to do lol But it was well worth it.
It is soft and lovely.
The lady SarahSweethearts gave the pattern and said she makes this dress
for charity and hopes others can do the same.
 I can just imagine the joy to get a dress like this.
I keep thinking little boys get left out here cause they just get guy things. lol

The hat was simple enough. I garnished it with flowers and buttons
and although it distressed me to add another color to the white dress
I thought if I just embellished it with a few flowers and the same buttons, the hat
could go with the outfit.

Catching flies was fun today to feed the venus fly trap. I even found a few
little spiders but they never made it cause my husband hit them too hard
with the fly swatter.At night I should be able to get a few mosquitoes.
Funny how a plant gets two people to work for its' keep lol

Clara Hughes bicycled 11 thousand miles across Canada for Mental Health .
She said one in five are affected by some form of mental illness  .
This was shocking to hear.
One in five people?? WHY?
This should concern all Canadians and even Americans since we share one continent.
What do we have to do to change this?

Today was grass cutting day. It is so nice when the lawn is so short you can
play golf on it.
You don't even care about the weeds because you can't see them.
I am glad people don't use insecticides and pesticides on their lawn anymore.
But it sure grows like a weed and by next week it will need another cutting.

We dont remove the cut grass cause it is the best thing for it. It just goes
back into Mother Nature, self fertilizing.

It's nice to be able to sit back and enjoy the back yard and sunshine once in a while.

Have a good one.

Canada Eh?

HAPPY CANADA DAY!

HAPPY CANADA DAY! WE LOVE YA!!

Well the US lost to Belgium. The US had the best goalie ever but
even he finally could not stand alone. It was good to see one of my
sons US soccer players out there, in an actual Fifa game. We even
saw his grand father watching the game. Too bad my sons US team
 was not playing. They had it together and would have pulled through.
 Things change.
Have a good one
