For Karnythia
I came across this link, and immediately thought about you.

I got to say, I do think she rocked that hat, as over the top as it is to my subtle Canadian senses. But hell, if you're going to be a Queen, you might as well be over the top, and I only hope when ( Read more... ) -
How the hell to stay positive?
I try and work really hard to keep my pessimistic tendencies under control. All through the silly season, I've been pretty much a media no fly zone because I've been so busy. So catching up on the news has not been a great thing. I'm really getting bummed out at all the people who are so willing to forsake someone's life for what? Land? Territory ( Read more... ) -
More on nursing in the pool
If you're in Ontario and pay attention to the news, you've likely heard of this.
Well it's turned into a big brouhaha
Mom is denied her right to breastfeed child in public right? No, I don't think so. Depending on which side of the story you believe, or if you believe the earlier accounts from the mother which coincided with the pool owner asking ( Read more... ) -
Ummmm....Ewwww!
I'm all for breastfeeding where you want, when you want. This woman decided to nurse in a pool, which then the owner asked her to get out of the water and nurse. I'm sure in some way, nursing in the water skirts the issue of bodily fluids in the pool water. While I'm not really grossed out by breastmilk being in my swimming water, since it can ( Read more... ) -
Post election analysis
Okay, I'm late, shoot me, I have two kids, but on the plus side it's allowed the dust to settle and I get to see some truly interesting comments.
I guess the one bugging me the most is assertions largely from white people that Obama isn't black enough.........*long pause*........*lots of blinking*.......*scratching my head*.........okay, I don't get ( Read more... ) -
Well here's a first
I really need to hit the hay, but I'm speechless. I'm stunned, I'm amazed, I am so unbelievably happy. Congratulations America, you have made an amazing choice for your leader. You are sending a message to the world that you are ready to heal, you want to move forward, that you are interested in peace and for the well being of your own and abroad. ( Read more... ) -
Baby killing and war
I was watching this video. I didn't get very far. Once I saw pictures of the dead infant, I stopped and started crying. So I'm pretty pissed and emotionally upset, because I think of my own dear children and can't imagine them going through the pain and suffering of these sweet babies.
I don't have a say on how the US election goes, but I have to ( Read more... ) -
A New Day
Well, I'm still feeling very overwhelmed, but it seems things are getting a bit more settled. Chris went into Project Manager mode and started getting things taken care of. I think he realises that when I have so much on my plate, I tend to shut down. However, we have one of the girls from church coming over on Friday to discuss a possible job dog ( Read more... ) -
Happy HOLIDAYS
Yes, I'm Christian, I'm born in Canada, and I'm saying Happy Holidays!!! Why? Because I'm so friggin tired of every.single.year some uneducated bunch of "Christians" bitch and moan that because some people and institutions say Happy Holidays, that they're somehow oppressed or prevented from saying Merry Christmas. These usually are the same type of ( Read more... ) -
October 29th!
Today were very important days in my life. 36 years ago, a little squawking baby was delivered after a few short hours of labour. He came out making noise and has never really stopped. *g* But he was raised to be a brilliant, caring and most gentle person I've ever know, someone I was lucky to meet 14 years ago and who has been the biggest part of ( Read more... )
