It's the 11th Month....


 Page 306 of 366. Good afternoon Lovies. We are in the 11th month of this drearily long year. It has been incredibly insane for a lot of people; a lot of losses, medical problems and our governments continue to break us down as we watch more and more people end up in dire straits and ending up on what I can only describe as skid row. After writing all that, it is kind of hard to write about what I am about to say; because... I guess you'll just have to see...

As, at least us Canadians know, November 11th is known as Remembrance Day here. It's a day that we take to remember our military and our fallen. We take 2 minutes at the 11th hour of the day. We stand in 2 minutes of silence and reflect on all they have done to fight for our rights and freedoms.

I, for one, have never understood how all of these brave, selfless people only deserved 2 minutes of our time to be honoured for everything they have done to make our great and beautiful country what it is... but then again... I don't think this current generation has even gotten the chance to see what we can and have been able to describe as a "great and beautiful" nation. 

It's appalling what the current government has done to its very own people... frankly, it's disturbing and like many, I feel there is a civil war/revolution on its way!!! 

Our once country that took pride in its rights and freedoms as a first world country has turned into what is almost a communist country, no better than a third world place. Despite this, I still honour our land. I love the fact that I am Canadian!!!

I refuse to allow the bastards who govern over this land control the pride I hold in the gorgeous land we have, and the rights and freedoms our ancestors fought for. I will NOT allow them to cheapen everything they have done because they are trying to destroy our homeland.

I AM FUCKING CANADIAN BY EVERY RIGHT!!! I WAS BORN AND RAISED HERE...

I will stand with honour and respect on November 11th and remember how our military fought for this land. I will remember how they shed their own blood to ensure we had the right to speak. The freedom to vote. The freedom of religion (or not). The right to vote, or not (Long story there)... 

On the opposite end, I also take this month to remember the Indigenous people of Canada who were forced to be part of a war they should never had to have fought. I want people to never forget that their land was taken against their will, and despite that, they fought for this land too. I could ramble on and on about this topic but I want to leave it here.

It will always be... LEST WE FORGET!!!

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all of us command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Good evening lovies. I have been struggling with something that is very close to my heart. I truly do not know where to proceed next. I'm going to try and make a very long story as simple as I can... I was adopted at 5months of age, (well apprehended at 5 months, adopted at 5 years). There is something that adoptees yearn for all their lives... WHY?  I know for me there were many questions and on my 19th birthday it appeared I was going to get those answers when I met the woman who birthed me. Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken!!! Years went by, and I allowed this woman to have control over certain things that were weighing heavily on my heart, She held the one piece of the puzzle that felt missing from my heart... who my biological father was?!! I, one day decided that I wasn't going to allow another person have that kind of control over me... EVER!!! I left the situation alone. I struggled deeply. I was literally at war with myself. on this topic. In a way, I felt guilty th...

It's a Hide Under the Covers Kinda Day

Page 14 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. I really, really hope your day is going better than mine!!! Sorry, woke up at the asscrack of dawn, as I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Thankfully it was with my family doctor; appointments with him are fairly painless.  Today, however; things kinda went sideways.  I am usually in and out within 10 mins for these appts, but today? I was there for over 45 minutes. Of course, it didn't help that I was puking maroon blood in the office. I know, I don't share a lot of my medical nor really personal stuff on here, but just so you're aware, this has been happening daily since end of May/beginning of June last year. I am what they call an "anemic blood clotter" which I didn't think was possible, but apparently it runs on the paternal side of my family. Anyways, that was the main focus of my visit after that. My stomach medication is being switched AGAIN, this time I am being set up with an antibiotic (which is cra...

Tis the Season.... Why I Am Proud of Local Tattoo Shop!!!

  Page 307 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies. I am not sure how long this blurb is going to be; as it seems to be a topic I have been beating to death this past year. I know it is the time of the year where we switch from Halloween/Samhain into Thanksgiving (in the US) to Yule/Christmas season.  I hate pointing out this fact, but people seem to feel like Christmas time is the only time of the year that they should be charitable...  Is it out of guilt that you are donating, or is it because you genuinely feel you should be helping people??? I AM sort of calling you out because this is NOT the only time of the year that the homeless, or the downtrodden need help. I cannot stand that this is around the only time you will see non-stop commercials/ads or billboards that are asking for help with various charities; also the time we see commercials about driving under the influence. WHY IS THAT??? Driving under the influence is a year-long problem... I will not get into details about...
