So we got a dog. It wasn’t a pandemic or empty nester thing. It was a phone call from a friend who breeds dogs, indicating she was having a litter of Bernadoodles and knew we would be interested, and she was right. I grew up with cats, and my husband grew up with dogs and […]
I remember when Roe vs. Wade came to be. I was young, discovering that women had no agency concerning their bodies and that it took the courts to establish it. Something I knew men would never have accepted. Being raised Catholic in 1973, in my world, abortion was spoken about at Sunday mass with cruel […]
Here we are, another Mother’s Day. I’m not a fan, and I’m aware I’m in the minority. I have the same complaints about Mother’s Day as Christmas and Valentine’s, where we dedicate one out of 365 days to those who love, care and are there for us. Mother’s Day is supposed to be every day. […]
With Spring upon us, I’d like to know what happened to plain white drawstring boxy pyjama bottoms? We may no longer rock certain lingerie pieces, but not unlike the classic little black dress, these dreamy cotton bottoms are a staple in any woman’s closet, no matter your age. Not even Amazon, the colossal empire of […]
Here we are, out of the winds of Covid into the sails of war. I feel like I’m living through the Old Testament. I don’t understand war, and the truth is I don’t want to. It’s barbaric, serving no purpose. It’s ego-based. No one wins, and all that is left is significant destruction. How can […]
I’ve long believed in the offerings of diverse vaccines, in particular plant-based ones, that were absent throughout this pandemic. The federal politicians can answer the idea that Canada could have potentially dodged the pandemic or a good portion of it because that fact is real. Medicago a Canadian biotech company specializing in pandemics since 1999 […]
I am inundated with surveys and customer service inquires. Over the holidays and much before, no matter the purchase or exchange I had, a survey awaited me on my computer asking whether I enjoyed my purchase or experience and to rate it. I didn’t have a chance to take something out of its box, and […]
What I don’t like about Christmas or Valentine’s, is it’s crammed into one day then abandoned for the rest of the year. It defeats the purpose behind the day. Christmas and Valentine’s need to be practiced daily. Especially with the shit show, we continue to go through with the pandemic. We don’t need the decorations, […]
I’m done with pharmaceutical commercials on half-baked pills claiming various remedies at the cost of dozens of serious side effects. I have yet to see a pharmaceutical commercial where the healing attributes are not in the shadow of a slew of dangerous complications. It’s not only about the medication but the trainwreck that follows. Like […]
We live in a world of zombies sponsored by Apple, Samsung, Rogers, Telus, Virgin, and others. I’ve watched people on their cellphones walk into poles; city refuse bins, trip, bump into strangers and be startled when someone honks at them while crossing on a red light. This zombie-worthy practice, walking around clueless and entitled, is […]
