"P.S. Since Pennies for Peace has been tainted in the U.S. Canada is showing true humanitarianism, that is absent in the U.S. at this moment where PFP is concerned and Steve, if you think I am ignornant, send me an email and enlighten me. "

"I like that the kids are collecting pennies, but what "Americans to the south" are rioting?  Are you referring to the Occupy Wall Street protests?  If so, I support them and I'm unaware of any rioting thus far."

You don't have to believe for it to work.

I arrived in China in August, 2008, with $43 and a maxed-out Visa card.  I nearly lost that after leaving my small, pocket wallet at a security check point in Los Angeles.  Good thing I needed a beer.  I went into a bar with one other person in…

 A Tale of Two Amy's

 

While you were sleeping, reports starting coming in that Amy Winehouse's family believes she died from a massive seizure.  Hate to admit I actually read Perez Hilton, but three days ago he reported her friends were saying the same thing.…

My eldest son (he's 35) and I play this daft game where we text one another when we see a famous person look alike out in public.

Today on my way home from the hospital I saw Barrack Obama walking a Pug on a lead.

Thanks for the update on HaHa.

Want one of mine?

Hi, Kate ~ What is it that causes soooooo many to (apparently) feel better and feel involved and feel informed if they simply post a whiny ugly opinion about a person, place, or thing? Do you think they're mostly 20-somethings? In which case I really AM frightened for their generation! Or maybe it's a cross-section of our esteemed populace, and I too should live abroad?!! (Egypt would be my pick ~ been there twice and love Cairo, especially now with the metro, one needs NO Arabic that way.)

That figures - Emma Peel 2 is so up her own leather clad arse that she and 'the group ' spend most of there time being a pain in other's (arses).

 

If in doubt - delete or ignore I suppose.

And how is you this fine Sunday?

With Jason nuking Paris (still in France), Matt blasting his crotch - both with the Big Red Buttons - and Gort nearly destroying the world of Zoomers as we know it, this coming week can only be more scary for those nice Canadians who blog here.

 

Oh yes, and The Cat Group don't take prisoners either....
