Obama

the networks have declared that Obama has won the american election-sounds great to me

travelling soon

Feeling excited about by new life in a foreign country but I will explain later. I started packing and I found a wonderful person to stay in my home in Winnipeg and pay a reduced rent and take care of my beauties Mac and Sugar. the downsize is missing my beautiful grandchildren and of course David and Deidre.

The internet is so frustrating. it says that my password does not work and then I receive a text to change my password and then when I use the new password it says the user name does not work .Then I have to go to another mail site to get the proper user name and it keeps going in a  neverending circle when I should be sleeping away and dreaming of unicorns prancing in a magical forest and a bullmoose wading in a pool beside a beaver lodge.

Rush Limbaugh- I wonder what your sexual history is like-never mind I do not want to know- universal health care in Canada does not pick and choose patients who are acceptable according to one's religious beliefs- how would any government do that -it would be morally wrong to do that and it would cost millions of dollars more to configure all the wee bits and pieces and this and that and then lack of contraception would lead to higher costs in producing children that are not looked after succssfully and more abortions would take place- another issue completley- the young people of today are smart enough to use contraceptives and prevent unwanted pregnancies and it is usually the smart women who do this- usually birth control pills are paid for by the individual in most cases and I think covered in the employment health care insurance ... but for a woman to appear in congress and ask that the birth control plans be included in a health care package is most certainly an acceptable question and concern and should be respected- and I am glad she got so much support

Our winter this year was not really a winter-or not the one I like-hardly any snow but this hoar frost outside my apartment window was interesting. Now today the temperature is quite mild again. The snow that had arrived is disappearing again.

On March 18th I am leaving on a trip to New Zealand for a month--  also a free agent to do as I deem fit.

I am writing a children's book as I travel.

hello to me

Thinking of walking to Superstore today because the walk would be good for me.

My Great West Life money ended on my birthday-November 12th, 2011!!

I am learning to manage my budget on a pretty skinny pension plan- I recall those days when I would receive notice of a superanuation payment coming my way -did I want to cash it in or save it in a pension plan??My mid twenty self said yae money to spend- oh well I guess I enjoyed myself at the time.I am pretty sure the youth of today are doing the same thing if they even have a pension contribution through their employment
