Sure, lets call the cops!

I got hit in the parking lot this afternoon. I stopped into the local grocery store to pick up some asparagus for dinner. It was busy, filled with people just like me, stopping in on their way home from work to pick up odds and ends for dinner. As I was walking back to my car, a silver Nissan...

Clever Hubby

Hubby and I have discussed having kids – we both agree that we want to start a family, although we haven't reached a consensus on the number. Hubby would like 2 or 3. Sometimes he adds a forth (I think it's because his inner OCD does not like odd numbers...). I'm waiting to see how it goes with the... Sign in to see full entry.

An Accomplishment

Every morning upon arriving at work, I plant my butt in my chair and wiggle the mouse. While the computer wakes up, I start the coffee brewing. I open my various programs, plough through emails, listen to voice messages. When the guys come in, they head straight for the coffee pot - sometimes I get... Sign in to see full entry.

The Right to Be Canadian

As I mentioned previously, while the financial implications of unchecked immigration are terrible to consider, this is not my chief frustration with the immigrant Muslim population. The first indication of trouble that I remember was a change in the uniform of the RCMP. For those not familiar with... Sign in to see full entry.

Draining the Pool

Naut has recently been posting a series about Muslims in Norway and Britain, and the affect immigration is having on their society; it's a terrifying read, but very important. http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos/ There's been much talk of declining birthrates in the west, and our aging...

Identity Crisis

Hubby and I got married on March 3rd. We held the ceremony at the beautiful Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, in the middle of a snow storm. While there was some concern about road conditions, the snow was actually quite welcome. You just can't ask for a more picturesque backdrop. Our photo's are really... Sign in to see full entry.

Controversy

One of the reasons I chose to write about GMO's is because it's a topic mired in controversy. Judging from the comments, it looks like that controversial spirit is alive and well! My tone was deliberate. While I question some aspects of GMO's, particularly where food is concerned, I like the overall... Sign in to see full entry.

Science!

There's been a lot of discussion about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO's). Most of the conversation seems to be coming from lobbyists and groups who excel in getting people worked up. I just stumbled across an online petition to ban GMO's on a worldwide scale, and a few things jumped out at me.... Sign in to see full entry.

A Virgin No More

I think our hunt may have come to an end. Yesterday, Hubby and I put an offer on a house, conditional on a home inspection (of course) and also on a second viewing today. We insisted on the second viewing only because we honestly can't remember which house was which, and want to be sure we don't... Sign in to see full entry.

Step Aside, Mother Nature!

Time to dig out my water wings - we're expected to get about 100mm of rain in the next day or so. Personally, this doesn't bother me at all. We need the moisture, and a good dump of rain will leave everything green and lovely. Plus, it means I don't have to worry about washing the car. On the work... Sign in to see full entry.
