If I’m feeling well enough tomorrow Chris and I were thinking about officially starting our holiday shopping. We still aren’t sure what kind of gifts we’re going to buy all the kids in the family! Perhaps tomorrow outing will just be...
Wordless Wednesday There’s something wrong with this picture. It looks like the dog has been kicked out of it’s own dog house by a CAT! I guess the dog is doing it’s best to get revenge by sitting in the cat bed. I’m sure ...
Wordless Wednesday Hmmm is this hamster starting to rethinking his snack or just pausing for a moment? I wonder if that biscuit really is high in calories?
Wordless Wednesday Look at this bike … it’s like a strange cross between the Beverly Hillbillies old truck and a motorcycle. Pretty strange! I wonder how many miles to the gallon it gets?
The Four Freshmen is a group of singers that were formed in the 1950’s. Their improvisational, free flowing form of singing was revolutionary to the main stream music scene of their era. They helped influence so many a great band that I thought ...
This was a very popular BBC2 television music show that ran from 1971 to 1987. It was the British version of North American’s Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert show … or is it the other way around? It first went on air in September 1971 and...
Wordless Wednesday This is a nice enough looking house … maybe a little small, but I think it’s just a little too close to the water. Don’t you? The owner must have really wanted a house on the beach!
Wordless Wednesday There’s nothing like lying down with a snack. Obviously squirrels like doing this too! I think this is some kind of red squirrel. It’s not one that we have around here in Ontario though! Actually I think red squirrel...
How’s this for bold robbers? This past Monday thieves broke into the Norwegian criminal police headquarters in Oslo. They managed to make off with several computers. “I can confirm that we were the victim of a robbery overnight Saturday t...
Did you hear that Mexican scientists have managed to turn the countries national drink - Tequila - into diamonds? I wonder why the Russians didn’t come up with that with Vodka? They are now seeking applications for their discovery. The crystals ...
It’s kind of funny. Whenever I write about my Crohn’s disease and the awful symptoms it causes me I get all kinds of advice and helpful tips from my readers. it’s nice in a way, but I’ve tried just about everything that I thin...
I’m still not feeling very well so I’m trying to catch up on the television shows that I’ve missed in the last week (due to visiting our friend in the hospital so many times). I’m so thankful that we have a PVR. It’s lik...
You might remember that last week I told you one of our friends was going to be having open heart surgery at a hospital here in Toronto. Well, she had the operation on Friday and she’s still in the hospital and recovering well. We spent the bet...
I was just saying in anther post that time is flying by! Did you know that it’s been a year since we got our puppy, Midnight? Well, ok, we really got our Labrador Retriever on November, 23, 2007, but after the long drive to the breeders and sp...
After I wrote that post about wanted to get started on my Christmas shopping early this year, Chris and I had a little talk about what we’re going to do for Christmas this year - present wise I mean. Over the last few years our families on both s...
Do you find it confusing how some restaurants and coffee shops name their menu items? Sure, some sandwiches and dishes have amusing names, but if you can’t figure out what the food is when you are reading the menu your dining experience could be...
I’m so sick of spam! I swear, most days, every second comment I get on all of my blogs is either spam or someone just commenting to get a dofollow link and using a SEO user name. I have the spam bots pretty much under control between the Akisme...
Does it seem like time is flying by faster than normal or is it just me? This month has gone by so quickly I can hardly believe that we’re near the end of November already. Before we know it Christmas will be here! I often procrastinate when i...
To me, tattoo’s represent the Rock ‘n Roll image, but that seems to be changing quite a bit these days. Tattoos are works of art if done properly. They can be a very personal expression of yourself to the world, but of course they should be...
I am getting to the point that I am contemplating either buying a dedicated/complete foot pedal system or just gathering individual ones to use together. As I’ve said before, I do not have an amp as of yet. I think that either plugging into my de...
First there’s dogs that can drive and now there’s a rat that can surf? What next? I wish I knew more about this photograph, like where it was taken and if that rat really is surfing, but it does look real, doesn’t it?
This weeks Photo Hunt theme is Reflection I took this photo near the beginning of November. We had taken Midnight, our Lab, to a local park for a romp in the woods and while there she found a small pond and being a water dog couldn’t resist j...
It looks like this puppy has not only found a friend, but he or she found a great way to stay warm too! Talk about a mother hen! I wonder if she thinks the puppy is one of her chicks … if so that must have been a huge egg!
Hydrangeas are a favorite shrub of many gardeners because of their eye catching blooms. The majority of Hydrangeas originate from Asia and North America. Hydrangea Macrophyllia (Mophead and Lacecap) are common in the Atlantic border states. They have ...
Other than being sleepy from lack of sleep this week (and weeks past) I haven’t been feeling too bad this week … well, up until today anyway! I really thought this Crohn’s flare was beginning to calm down. I was wrong. Today has not ...
Chris and I are just sitting here are home for news about our friends surgery. We haven’t heard from our friends husband or Chris’ brother in law who came into town earlier today to be with him. We did call the hospital a little while ago...
Did you hear about the mayor of a small outback mining town, Mount Isa, in Australia who invited ugly women to move to his town stating “even they would find a man there”? Well he’s won the top award for the most sexist public comment...
Chris and I just came back from the hospital. One of our friends is going to have open heart surgery tomorrow afternoon. Both our friend and her husband are totally freaked out and upset that everything they had to do in the hospital today took so lo...
Our neighbors are renovating again! They moved into the house next door (it’s attached to ours) in June and for the first month they did some reno work. We’d suggested that they knock down at least one of their living room walls, like we ...
A couple of weeks ago I told you that one of our friends would be coming to Toronto to have major heart surgery. Well, the time has come. She should have checked into the hospital earlier today, and tomorrow morning she’ll be undergoing heart ...
For all you musicians out there … go ahead … I dare ya! Keep on Jammin’
Wordless Wednesday Isn’t that cute? The rat has a little teddy bear and it’s the perfect size too! Even rodents need friends!
Wordless Wednesday Birds can be pests at times, but as you can see from the above photo they can also be quite helpful. I know that when I’m outdoors at dusk or walking in a forest during the summer I tend to get swarmed with bugs (usually mosq...
Wordless Wednesday When you think about it this sign is sooooo true. There are fish in most water areas and what do fish do … eat and crap … so yeah … don’t drink the water. Of course … another reason to not drink the wa...
Wordless Wednesday Oh oh it’s a road block … I wonder who’s going to back up? Logic says it’s the crocodile since there’s only one of him, but the laws of nature tell me it would be the turtles who would dive off into t...
Wordless Wednesday Hmm … what do you think this otter is up to? I think he’s working on the community recycling program? The only other possible thing I can think that it’s doing is collecting cans so he can cash them in for money ...
I’ve been having a lot of trouble sleeping over the past few months and it’s starting to take it’s toll. I have Crohn’s and I seem to get more abdominal pain at night, so depending upon how much pain I’m in it affects my ...
What a life, just sitting around on the lounge chair? Ah, to be a cat. I think life would be a heck of a lot easier, wouldn’t it. (shorter too of course.) It kind of looks like the cat is praying or meditating.
Decked out in leather and sunglasses? Uh huh … that’s a cool cat, alright!
The Toronto (GTA) based progressive rock band called CounterPoint, is looking for a guitar player. I am a guitar player who is finally looking to join a band. After some 20 odd years of plying my wares, helping out fellow artists to expand their playin...
Listening to certain types of songs may just tell you more about your own, or even someone else’s, personality than you think! Take the music test, it’s easy and painless. Plus, the worst thing that you can do is learn something about yours...
David Byrne and Brian Eno played at Toronto’s Massey Hall, on October 30, 2008. These two music giants were on stage together in their glory for all to see! I greatly admire both of these great players, but together they sounded like they fit tog...
Join I guess you could say I’m doing a series of posts across a few of my blogs about a recent trip to Taylor Creek Park in Toronto for all of my GTS posts today. So instead of the usual garden related post I’ve chosen to go with a nature...
Join For many of us it’s beginning to get cool outside, for some it might even be snowing. Actually it’s snowing here right now as I write this …. but even though it’s cool outdoors do you ever stop to take a look at what̵...
Join Do you remember the GTS post that I made in early October of a pretty blue wild flower with a snail on it? Well the flower was likely wild Chicory. I took that photo while my husband and I were on a nature hike with our dog in Taylor Creek park...
