Friday Again - Happy Long Weekend

The following was in my in-box this morning and really had to share with all of you. I won't apologize for anything it says, I agree with it all.

I likely will be charged for sending you this email, since it would seem, I, as well as the regular taxpaying Canadian have no rights; criminals have rights, immigrants have rights, First Nations have rights, and the list goes on and on, while we the tax payer pay for these people’s education, welfare, lawyer fees, all without us being able to say one word. What exactly do we owe these people that we do not deserve ourselves? Why is our government, who supposedly represent us, find this to be fair? I know, for VOTES, but perhaps you should start thinking of our votes. We get these emails and forward them to others being very careful not to send them to someone who may be offended. WE ARE OFFENDED! Do you really believe we just accept this without comment, almost every conversation we have with others, up pops up this subject , we just don’t do anything about it. BUT BE ASSURED WE DO NOT LIKE IT, ACCEPT IT AND DEFINITELY DO NOT AGREE WITH IT. I will even go so far as commenting on the money we provide for First Nations people, yes we owed them for stealing their lands, etc; but did we not do the exact same thing to Acadians, I don’t remember paying them off. I think it is time First Nations people start joining the rest of Canada, contribute to the Canadian economy and pay taxes.

My great grandfather watched as his friends died in WW1, my father watched as his friends died in WW II, and I watched as my friends died in Afghanistan. None of them died for a Foreign Flag. Everyone died for the Canadian flag. We removed Christian prayer from our schools as it might offend a minority of students not of the Christian faith. It is politically incorrect for Public and Civil Servants to wear anything of a religious nature while serving the public, despite the fact that civil servants are allowed to wear turbans on the job as public or Civil servants. Why? – Because it is against their religion not to wear it. In fact, our Prime Minister forbade the use of any Christian reference when a memorial service was held on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean near Halifax. The memorial was in remembrance of the 229 people that lost their lives in the September 2, 1998 Swiss Air Flight 111 that crashed. Almost all of the crash victims were Christian. We have removed any reference to Christianity in our Courts of Law, despite the fact that our laws are based on Christian principles and values. Bike laws in almost all Canadian Jurisdictions require bike riders to wear safety helmets. You guessed it. – people who are required to wear turbans are exempt because a helmet is not designed to be worn over a turban. Some ten years ago a Commission was assembled in Ontario (lobbied for by Muslims) to investigate the practicality of allowing Canadians of the Muslim faith to practice Sharia law. The Commission head (a former Attorney General in the Bob Rae NDP Government) presented the Commission findings to the succeeding Provincial Government to allow limited use of Sharia Law for Canadians of the Muslim faith. The recommendation was rejected. – It should never have gone that far and in fact the issue should never have reached a discussion stage, let alone the formation of a commission. It is politically incorrect to wish our fellow Canadians Merry Christmas. And the list goes on and on. Enough is enough. The below e-mail message needs to be viewed by every Canadian; and every Canadian needs to stand up for Canada. We've bent over to appease the new Canadian immigrants long enough. I'm taking a stand. I'm standing up because the tens of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the Canadian flag can't stand up. If you agree, stand up with me. If you disagree, then just delete it. And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message. A Map Of My Country: Let me make this perfectly clear! THIS IS MY COUNTRY! And, because I make This statement DOES NOT Mean I'm against immigration!!! YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY! Welcome! To come through legally: 1. Get a sponsor! 2. Get a place to lay your head! 3. Get a job! 4. Live By OUR Rules! 5. Pay YOUR Taxes! And 6. Learn the LANGUAGE like immigrants have in the past!!! AND 7. Please don't demand that we hand over our lifetime savings of Social Security Funds to you. If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, Then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM! When will Canadians STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS??? We've gone so far the other way... bent over backwards not to offend anyone. But it seems no one cares about the Canadian CITIZEN that's being offended! WAKE UP Canada !!! If You agree.... Pass this on. If You don't agree.. Delete It !!!

Amen,

Have a great long weekend everyone, and be Happy you are Canadian each and every day.

love and hugs

Rain?

I woke up this morning thinking it would be a good day to get lots done in-doors, it is suppose to be raining all day. Well we did have rain over night, but none today, why can't they get it right? Isn't this their job to predict the weather and report it to us, those that can't predict the weather. And if you think about it, don't think too hard, why can't they get it right. Always get a laugh when we watch the 6 o'clock and good old Bob gives his prediction and you wake up and it is wrong. The man half the time can't tell what the pictures the kiddies send to him are how the hell is going to be able to figure out the weather.

I think I am complaining about the weather today because I haven't been outside yet today and it looks like it is a nice day and I really should of cut the grass. Didn't cut the grass because it said it is suppose to rain and don't want to get part way through and can't finish. I say this now and it is almost 3 in the afternoon and could of cut the damn grass a few times over. Oh well tomorrow is another day.

Now for those of you who are currently not sitting down you really should, because this is going to knock you on your butt, and I don't want anyone to hit their heads. Donkey put all the trash out to the side of the road for pick-up, even the recycle. I told you to sit down, now didn't I. He never takes out the trash, I can't even get him to take it from the kitchen to the can. So today is a mark on the calendar day. I don't mean to pick on my Donkey, he does work very hard around here, has pretty much re-built our entire house and has done an amazing job, but his domestic skills, yeah not so much. We used to have this deal; inside is me and outside is his, mmmmmmmm, something has gone seriously wrong with this.? Oh well I do do a better job on the grass than he does.

Last night my daughter, boyfriend and the kidlets came for a swim and dinner, was so nice. Just us for once, that doesn't happen too often around here, not that we don't like company, just nice to have a visit uninterrupted once in awhile. My big boy grandson is doing so great in the pool this season, becoming very brave, great to see his comfort level is getting there. Little sister she actually has had some set-backs, she isn't as comfortable as she was at the beginning of summer. And she has this really bad habit of pooing everytime she is in the pool, thank goodness for little swimmers, what did we use to do? I guess we scooped, yuck! But was a nice visit. Did some lovely steaks and basil potatoes with just a tossed salad but was good. Oh and hot dogs, don't forget the hot dogs, that is all my grandson will eat when he is here, the little bum. Oh and they brought these strawberry tart eclair things, wow! So good!

Anyone have any great plans for the last long weekend of the summer. Can you believe it is coming to a close. Such a wonderful summer, this one must go down in the record books for one of the better summers in such a long time. Can't remember such a nice hot summer. We have dinner at friends on Saturday, golf for Donkey on Sunday and I think he is starting our garage roof somewhere in there too. I don't think he has seen the rain predicted or he is thinking they are going to be wrong again. Fingers crossed it doesn't rain for the long weekend, it should only rain during the week and mainly at night, that would be perfect.

Well another day is gone, and I should finish my link building for the day, so with that kids, have a Happy Day!

love and hugs

Happy Birthday To My Friend

Today is my girl friend from England's birthday, can't tell you how old (she would kill me) but she is older than me and the same age as Donkey. But want to send out all our best on her special day.

So come on ask me, how was the party?

It was great! We had perfect weather, great guests, all in all was a good time for all. At least I hope it was, I had a good time, and we all know that is what matters! No really it was wonderful. Even my little grand children were on the best behavior, not sure if they had hit their pretty little heads first, but was great.

And no the damn fridge doesn't work, don't think it even will, it is off to the garbage for it.

My greatest friend was here from out west, too short of a visit, but was still a visit and we hope the next one will be they are staying forever. Fingers crossed they will be home for sure this time next year.

Went to the dentist today to start getting back on track with my teeth since chemo and radiation, who knew you have to wait. And my poor neglected teeth have suffered. Wonderful dentist and all his staff, pain free, was so nice. Today was the first of five appointments I have coming up, but will be worth it when all is done, thank goodness for insurance. You have to feel for those that can't even have their teeth taken care of because they don't have insurance and our health care doesn't cover it. Why doesn't our health care cover dental, your teeth are very important to your over-all health? What about kids, they need to go to the dentist? How can you tell a child that they can't go and have a sore tooth taken care of?

And how about this heat wave again that we are getting! Wow it is hot! Even too hot for me to be outdoors for any length of time. I am watching all my poor plants wilt in the heat, and that is with watering every morning. Last night was so hot I actually turned the air conditioning on, and I hate having the money sucking thing going. I believe in a dip in the pool or a shower to get cool, but that sure can't cut it in this heat. I guess we should enjoy it, this could be the last of it for the year.

Well I have to go, we have friends over for dinner and Donkey should be home soon I would think. Have a Happy Day! Sorry to those that have emailed and felt neglected, will try to keep on top of my rambling.

love and hugs
