I'm excited! My new craft feature should be out in magazines soon! I LOVE to craft and with sites on the internet now - I have a hard time keeping up with all the things I want to make!

Easy and fast I can't wait to see all the home made bags at the next expo! I might even have a craft demo!!! ;-) May 24 weekend*2013 at the Metro TO convention centre! I'm already excited. Thank you to the compassion club http://section56.ca/ *for the T-shirt donation - even after I told him I was going to cut it up! LOL Want to see More !?

Cannabis does not belong in the closet- in more ways than one!! Get it in magazines, crafts on television and radio. It is a PLANT. A GLORIOUS! HEALING HERB to be celebrated not condemned and to be seen in main stream magazines evey where! Magazines that will feature the crafts... Canada's 420 insider: http://www.canadas420insider.com/ ReLeaf magazine: http://releaf.co/ E mail them find out ☮♥☺ How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's afternoon. December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon? - Dr. Seuss - That is how I feel most days. I decided not to get my botox injections even though I'm due (was due) because I figure the surgery will be soon enough and I don't want to if I don't have to. Unfortunately the past two days has me wondering if I have made the right decision. I wake up with my twitch ready to rock! Strong to the point where the pulling sensation can send me off balance if walking ;-( . So - it once again appears to be gaining control. God I pray this operation is successful. LOL- Irony - with the added stress of the surgery - it is pretty much constant. Not 15 minutes can go by with out one. I wish it was just a twitch - it is a mini shaking and controlling of my mind that I am very much aware of by the instant loss of control is - frightening. Not a fun way to spend a day. I am happy to say I am not drooling as much! LOL able to close my eye and laugh once again with the somewhat appearance of a smile - I can not tell you how powerful that is! To look in the mirror and be able to smile. Careful what you take for granted. Other than that I feel great! I am excited about the craft issues! It is keeping me inspired and having fun looking for ways to encourage others to express their creativity! I have drawings to keep me busy and sitting at my desk I have decided is the best place to ride out anything! Mental or physical ;-))) I need a time out because my time between twitches & feeling normal is more limited and suddenly I am very much aware of every moment. Don't want to waste that time watching when I can be doing. Drawing. xox <>< More and more older people are turning back to cannabis! Why? Because although old they are far from stupid! As we age we go to the Dr. and are given pills for our aches and pains.. they come with age for most of us. That is life, happy to still be a part of it. Unfortunately, as we continue to age we are prescribed more pills for each ache and pain, sleep problems, stress, tired-- the list is endless. Chemical cocktails, add to this already deadly mix- the fact that we forget! Accidental overdoes is a common problem with the aged. That does not just happen to older people- it can happen to us all when not feeling well or distracted. It is not a problem with cannabis. There is a 'home' in Isreal where Cannabis is handed out to patients who need it and benefit from it and because of -LIVING proof- it is becoming even more common. The next generation under the boomers - I was born in 64 are watching our parents being drugged for this and that. No wonder so many are turning back to something they KNOW makes them feel better- Still gives them a desire to live! Watch this short vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0VG3prgCDc *if you click the CC box on the bottom you will get subtitles! It is just one of many examples! It is NEVER too late to try and feel better and that is our right! Share this with your parents! *Moderation. As much as I talk about anti booze- I do know several people who have always been able to have 'a drink'. A drink after a long day - to take the edge off.. relax, unwind with a glass of wine. A (ONE) drink. EVERYTHING in moderation! My husbands dad was well into his 80's and said a shot of rum- kept his blood flowing. One shot - that was it. Usually in his evening coffee. He died because of complications due to a car accident, it was not the rum - and he was by far one of the 'SHARPEST' pencils in the box. KEEP IN MIND, studies show that alcohol is more damaging to the body and brain than marijuana. *the bong- Storm and I went to a great little new store - http://www.thekockydog.ca/ nice to not have to drive to TO. for stuff.. any how I spotted this bong (a giant penis) and had to giggle! I said "who buys this..." and Storm said -"NOT YOU!" LOL so I thought I'd have fun with this toon! Of course I thought of the sippy cup* my friend Sue has a photo on FB with her and this cup and it makes me crack up every time I see it. Life is about having fun and feeling good. Not work, work till you die. So have a laugh and educate your elders about Cannabis! <>< XOX Overdose:The term drug overdose (or simply overdose or OD) describes the ingestion or application of a drug or other substance in quantities greater than are recommended or generally practiced. An overdose may result in a toxic state or death. I have had what you 'might' call a Cannabis overdose, Actually I had this 2 times in all my cannabis experience. The first many years ago in Jamaica when I ingested a cake that was made with Cannabis. I swear could feel the blood moving through my veins. The other about a year ago when I had a POWERFUL 'cookie". Both times I was not sick, I did not have to go to the hospital, I felt uncomfortable in the sense that I did not feel 'myself' Both times - I slept it off. Waking the next day to feel incredibly rested. I'm sure I just consumed too much. Still - Not toxic or near death! I asked recently if others experienced this and what they suggest we do to help 'bring us back' to feeling comfortable. Some of the suggestions I know do in fact work for me anyhow... brushing your teeth, drinking fruit juice, coffee. Going for a walk and getting some exercise- occupying your mind doing something you enjoy - and before you know it you will come out of that uncomfortable stage and feel relaxed and better. Always REMEMBER: No one has ever died from cannabis, if anything it only lasts a couple of hours and you will be fine when it passes. When I asked for suggestions I had a few say 'WHY? - Just ride it out and enjoy the full experience.' I like Cannabis to keep me functioning. I'm not into the couch lock-stoned feeling myself. Now... if you told me you took a pill overdoes. I would not be making any such suggestions! I would be on the phone with 911! I am not encouraging anyone to use Cannabis... No that's not right, I guess in fact I am. How can I not? I do hope I am in fact educating some to at least see if it is an option. I am not telling you to get it and use it illegally. THAT will never solve the problem. Insist, demand and be educated and provide research. If you are in pain- do your research!!! See if Cannabis is an option for your illness - Does it not make sense to try to get relief from something that won't kill you? Sadly with it being illegal you have to be careful - hard to try - to see if it helps you. Most people I know when faced with a situation where the are tired of feeling sick on pills.. find a way. The more people that inform & educate Dr.s the sooner this silly prohibition against one of natures medicines has to come to an end! You can not deny facts forever. Or LIVING Proof. xox<>< If you use recreationally... then vote. Stand up for yourself. One Love. I have seen images like this and love them, more so the idea that they stand for. If we could put it all aside and see each other for WHO we are. Not race, religion or class that we belong - yeah, yeah, I know broken record... Oh well, If it has to be said a MILLION times every day - I will say it again- in HOPES that it will come true. ONE LOVE! Looks like Scruffy did not win the Fido contest- but we sure had fun! We allowed ourself to dream of a mini vacation. Had fun drawing and thinking of toons. Had she won, the toon was terrific! You'll just have to wait till next year to see that! We will try again! Scruffy is our sweet little girl - LOL - who is even cuter since she lost a tooth (?no idea how) last week! Fido would have been - fun. We have fun every day! It was wonderful to see all the shares and those votes so I wanted to make it official to thank everyone once again! She may not have won FIDO but she won the hearts of many - especially ours! xox <>< Today our son is 20! 20!!! Even typing it brings tears to my eyes. He is up and had his birthday breakfast and off to work! 20. It sit here and I breath deeply and I thank God with every beat of my heart that our son is here and celebrating his 20th! I feel like a milestone has been reached! A 'magic number' if only in my mind. My son- no longer a toddler, boy, teen- he is a man. When you are a parent of a child with a serious illness you take nothing for granted. When you are told your child might not be with you as long as you imagine as a parent - FOREVER- It can mess with you mind to say the least. So.... Today I feel like yelling a big "FUCK YOU!!!" Fuck you Dr.s you were wrong! A fuck you filled with LOVE because I am so happy they were wrong!!! My boy - now man is everything parent can hope for and more. He is a gentleman, handsome, polite, hard working, smart and determined to make something of his life! It has not been easy, Storm does live with chronic pain every day - always has and always will - he is an example to me and my husband, we would not change a single thing if we could. This lesson has been one of love that we are blessed to be a part of. So today I am beside myself! Everyday is special but today is a day to celebrate! The day would not be right if I also did not say Thank You God. I have prayed for years and will continue to do so- not for a miracle but for the continued strength we all need to face each new day. Thank God for my sons medicine - YES, I thank GOD! For the plant he put here! A medicine that helps our son function, work, hope and dream and LAUGH! Some may still 'not get it' I honestly HOPE you never do. I look at the baby photos and now the young man before me and I could care less what anyone thinks. I KNOW why we do what we do. FOR LOVE. Happy 20th Birthday Storm! MANY MANY MORE!! xox LOVE MOM & DAD ... Tequila, Scruffy, Daisy, Darkie, Jaws, Fluffy & Larry Please plant the seed of Cannabis education. I can honestly tell you I do not think my son would be with us today if not for his medicine. Please share - You might be helping other parents- other children. xox <>< http://www.georgiatoons.com/uploads/4/1/0/5/4105506/stormsstory.pdf I am amused and can't help but think everything for a reason. There is a reason Storm was one of Canada's youngest to use Cannabis - I pray it is to teach other parents - show them there is a safer, less toxic option for their seriously ill children. A reason I am a cartoonist and am able to break into a market not yet discussing such topics, having my drawing shared all around the world- I feel blessed. YES, there is even a reason my husband DOES NOT like Cannabis. I'm not kidding - he would rather NOT. Give him a pill before a brownie anytime. I thought this perhaps because he came home one day and ate (unknowing) 3 medicated cookies... but as he has explained - he has never liked Cannabis, even when he was younger. My husband recently hurt his shoulder and was give pain medication. He takes it and in no time is out in the garage at it as usual. I take a prescribed pain pill and feel like I am going to vomit, get dizzy and all I want to do is sleep. I fell DRUGGED on prescription medications. He feels Dizzy, can not think properly and can not function on Cannabis. So be it. It should end there. It should be about choice. The only reason I don't have a problem with my hubby using pills (well I do- because I have researched and see just how damaging they are - not to mention addictive!) is because he would rather take nothing - so as soon as he feels better he stops. We are Not Dr.s but we do not like to see our loved ones suffer. Tell the truth- who has ever given someone one of their pain pills? Even though they tell us not to. We give someone a pill to ease their pain because we love them and do not want them to suffer. We do NOT give them pills hoping they will become addicted and it will mess up their lives. Unfortunately, that is what happens to many on serious pain prescribed medications. So yes if my own husband is in pain I want him to try Cannabis because I know it is less harmful, less toxic. I make him sage mouth wash all the time - what makes this herb any different? He won't use Cannabis but, HE WILL RAVE about how Cannabis has helped our son until the end of time! He will tell people how he witnesses everyday Cannabis helping our son and his wife - he sees it. He is LIVING it and he thanks God for it as well. xox<>< Tequila Chilli'n on the sofa. She really does sit like this - just hoping someone will reach up and scratch that tummy. Daisy has her favorite spot in the back yard where she lies and throws her raccoon up into the air and Scruffy does the full body stretch, tail wiggle - 'you know you want to pat me strut!' Then of course there is Darkie - our kitty who is clearly the ZEN Master of the house. All cats are - or can be. Animals remind us to live in the moment. They don't care how funny they look! If you laugh at them - they wag their tail! They don't take it personal they MAKE it personal! I LOVE my girls they keep me in the moment and I thank God for them. They also inspire a few toons..... If you have a pet - give them a good scratch, cuddle and pat today! Let them know you deserve all the love they give you. ;-) xox<>< Cannabis is recognized as a medicine. Our Government and many US states (as well as other countries) all know Cannabis helps many life threatening illness and diseases. Chronic pain, cancer patients - and more. BUT some people are trying to get cannabis prescribed for headaches, depression and more and are being refused with Dr.s telling them it is NON-life threatening. In who's opinion?
I know from our own personal experience this past year with me not working as much, our financial situation 'tighter' than usual - and with that comes added stress. Stress because I am too sick to work, adding on top of everything else. My friend has been prescribed Migraine medication that is expensive and addictive! Fiorinal side effects: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives) slow, weak breathing, severe weakness or dizziness, black, bloody, or tarry stools or blood in your urine or vomit. Other, *less serious side effects may be more likely to occur: dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, or decreased appetite, dizziness, tiredness, or lightheadedness, ringing in your ears. Butalbital may be habit forming.* << She agrees. She like me, says all she wants to do on these pills is SLEEP. She cannot function at work on them so she goes all day in pain - by the times she gets home and take the pill -it usually does not even help her very much. She said once home she has one puff- ONE PUFF- This I will tell you is NO lie- All I need is one puff and my twitch calms right down and I feel better. You don't need to sit and smoke an entire doobie - well people with pain like Storm - they do. In my case I dont' and neither does my friend. The one puff does not get her 'high' - it keeps her going- even puts a smile on her face while doing it! She eats ALL natural is a vegetarian and cares about what she put in her body - no alcohol and as few chemicals as possible, she does not even use skin creams unless they are all natural ingredients. So why is she being FORCED to take something - where there is a safer, natural alternative? As for Cannabis and depression... I KNOW it works. As for life threatening - tell that to someone in pain, worried about paying the bills and still trying being a positive, productive member of society. SHE LOVES being a teacher. Was born to do it she believes.. It is o.k. for her to take her prescribed medications at work - that keep her at her desk - not capable of much more that what is required. So why not Cannabis? xox <>< Yesterday was a terrific day, as I drift off last night I was thinking about it. There was nothing special - a little eventful - when Storm and I went to go for a drive in town and I noticed the wheel wobbling! Luckily we were in town - put in a call to our trusty repair man/mechanic/dad and we all had a lesson on how to change a tire and lugnuts. Once home again we just puttered -I worked on my new craft for the magazines (love this - so much fun) for a while and then we all ended up at the front of the house hanging out in the garage. I saw 'we all' because that includes the dogs. All three- Daisy too after yesterday - sat and walked around the front never leaving (no leashes) the property even if they see another dog. We do not have a side walk on our side so as long as no one steps on our grass they don't bother with anyone. It was a test day for Daisy - she passed with flying colors! Tequila and Daisy running circles around each other and Scruffy busy watching everything Norm does. I have to take a photo this week - Scruffy lost a tooth (? no idea how) but it cracks us up every time she smiles at us - we all notice it. I am also determined this weekend to take a photo of all three of us- we don't have a current one! My baby will be 20 next Saturday!!! I will make sure to get our new family photo then ;-) I drew, Storm cleaned his truck and Norm building the special No-Halloween prop for the front lawn. At one time I thought this is it... AND... I love it. Feeling quite content. Nothing fancy just us a beautiful September day doing stuff as a family. Just Being. xox <>< It's that time fellow Canadians! Say goodbye to our little friends. Always sad to see them go! Every spring they are the first sign (for me) that Summer will soon be here! Like summer, now I am reminded even before the leaves change colors, I hear the "honking" above- Fall is on it's way! Fall is one of my favorite times! I am looking forward to fishing on the lake with Storm and looking at all the colors (will take some photos). Sweaters, stews, furry socks, mulled cider and cinnamon here we come! Of course even with it being cancelled -Norm is in the garage making a Halloween prop for the front lawn to let all know we will see them NEXT year! So Bring it on! Pull out your woollies and get ready for the most beautiful time of the year! Winter will soon be here - not to thrilled by that - thank God fall brings us in with such a final BURST of color - it makes the white blanket that we will soon see easier to embrace. Is there anything cooler than how the geese fly. They really area a wonderful example of how nature works together to accomplish and incredible task! TEAM WORK! Best movie on Geese : Fly Away Home - GREAT FAMILY movie! xox <>< I was with a friend yesterday and while in the waing room on Television, on the news (not sure of what station) they said that the 'Hottest Woman to grace covers of fashions magazines is a man.' <<< PHOTO <<< I saw the model and yes he is 'beautiful' - one bridal image in particular was stunning! I was amazed- but not really - I have been a fan of RuPaul for years and to say he is not beautiful IMO would be a lie. I wish! I was also impressed with MAC at the decision they made to make him a makeup spokesperson- how creative! Make-up. Love MAC I use to where nothing else when I cared more about makeup. A Man to sell make up - why not, some men have bone structure we would kill for;-) BUT to put A man on the cover of women's magazines and put him in ads for push up bra's as a woman to sell to young woman, I do have issues with. I posted this on Fb and suddently it became about homophobia - It has nothing to do with homophobia for me - I'm even slightly confused by that. It is about MARKETING. False advertising. My thoughts are about who buys these magazines. Young women. HOW MANY of us judge a book by it's cover!? MAGAZINES are very aware - the cover is HUGE- they know that will be the first thing to get the attention of young women, -they will LOOK at that cover and think "She's pretty I wish I looked like that..." looking at an image of a WOMAN incredibly sexy and perfect and hot! BUT he is NOT. We already know now young women are having insecurity issues with numbers on the rise of eating disorders and teen Suicide: Around the WorldAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO), someone around the globe commits suicide every 40 seconds. In the year 2000, 815,000 people lost their lives to suicide — more than double the number of people who die as a direct result of armed conflict every year (306,600). For people between the ages of 15 and 44, suicide is the fourth leading cause of death and the sixth leading cause of disability and infirmity worldwide.1 They look to these magazines to make their life better - I know I DID! Been there done that - use to be a bit of a mag. junkie. It helped me decide what make-up to buy, colors to go with my complexion and how I wanted my hair - just LIKE the the girl in the magazine. Wish my boobs were like that girls and my waist. I WISHED I could just be that skinny. So why? Why are we allowing men to advertise bra's for our young women? It's believe it is a slap in the face to women everywhere. For those that bring up gender issue HE HAS NO breasts. - just think about that. WHO uses a model to sell a bra who has no breasts? It has nothing to do with gender, it has nothing to do with the model! False advertising. Below a photo of his real breasts. Nothing to push up. They don't care about women. It is just about marketing. Shock value and lies and attention. Which our kids are already getting enough of every time they turn on the tube. I think teens have a hard enough time as it is. Make and female. If you are a woman's magazine selling to women. It should be a woman on the cover and women advertising women's products or call yourself a 'mixed gender' magazine. What next a man wearing a maxipad for that special time of the month? IF you are selling a women's product -LIKE A BRA- put a women in it. Life is confusing enough. <>< xox Toon being inked.. will post with this blog later. If vegetables could speak. This is a tricky toon. In all honesty I have had this conversation recently. What if? If you are having surgery anywhere I think at some point you ask- what if? I personally would want the plug pulled. I remember in college we watched "Who's Life is it Anyway?" With Richard Dryfus. Still an argument that continues today. People who do not want to continue life. People who are in agony every day and tired and CAN NOT be helped medically... a woman is fighting this now. It is a difficult call but I feel it is her life and why not have the option to do it safely - she said she will do it regardless. Should it not be an option? Then we have incredible people like Steven Hawkins sets an example like no other- We are blessed for him and his wonderful mind. He is only one of many that are dealt with situations that I can not even possibly imagine what their life must be like. No one can. UNLESS YOU LIVE IT. I know of an artist who blows my mind when I see his MOUTH painted art! In the movie Richard is an artist. Works with his hands and is paralyzed from the neck down. IT is his life, he breaths art. I often think I'd go insane if I could not draw. I guess you don't really think of these thing until you are in that situation. If I was just going to lay there. Pull the plug. ANYWAY I don't now how my crazy brain thought of this cartoon, I was watching a monsanto Doc on PIGS!! Now it's pigs! That means no more bacon - or mass produced bacon.. Scary. Really! What will we be eating in the future! They said Agent orange was fine, Dr.s use to praise smoking tobacco after a long day. I read an article watermelons were exploding from being a product of GMO. The GMO salmon are meaner and nastier! Can you imagine the pigs!? WE PUT this stuff in our bellies people! So before I published I realized this toon just might hurt some feelings. It is how I feel personally. Everyone should be able to make up their own mind, and I was not thinking of human vegetables when drawing it really - I was thinking Tomatoes, Corn, Soy, Beans, Peas, Watermelons, Beets - EVERYTHING that grows-! Say No to GMO. xox <>< The Doc. if interested : patent for a pig ! http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/patent-for-a-pig/ Wow- who the F*&^ do they think they are they can patent one of God's creations and WHY do they THINK we will let them control our lives like that? xox <>< Trees- leave them alone and they pop up everywhere! It is witnessing nature that calms me right down. When I read about plants - GMO's, patent, wiped out- lumber, bugs etc... (sadly it can be a long list) I go out and see seeds that have sprouted fallen on an old tree stump, left alone - ta-da another tree! I look at all the beautiful nature around me and think Cannabis will never be wiped out as long as there are seeds to sow. Trust me THERE are seeds to sow. As long as tress grow and HUMANITY leaves them alone they will continue to grow. My backyard when we moved into our home was a big patch of SOD. Each tree we (my husband, Storm in his wagon, and our pets) dug out of a field that we knew would soon be a stretch of new homes. Most tress were no more than 2 feet high. I am PROUD to say we have trees all over our yard, front and back. They provide us with shade, privacy, food for the birds and entertainment now as they have become a leafy highway for our furry squirrely friends! It brings a sense of peace to see all the trees and even weeds that pop up everywhere! They won't be stopped! A bit of soil, rain and sunshine and they will grow to reach for the heavens! There is HOPE.!! Not just for Cannabis but for all trees & all seeds! Seeds should remain Free to all! No one should be able to patent nature. God made it for all to use, enjoy and help ourselves, mentally and physically. Where would we be without them - I don't dare to imagine - it is NOT a place I want t Go out today and pick some seeds! Put them away for next spring to sow everywhere you go! There is always rooms for one more TREE! I realized I am not a cannabis activist - I am a plant activist. There is a bigger picture. xox <>< I was out the other day and I saw this woman staring at Storms hearing aids. I had to giggle to myself, my God - he will be 20 and I still feel like saying something to strangers!! Once a mom always a mom- will it ever stop? How can it!? Does our love ever stop as our kids grow up? Mine has only grown.
I was recently removed from a group of FB that is dealing with parents who have children who ill and the parents using or considering cannabis. I thought I could assist from experience but seems like my child no longer a child in others eyes- I was removed. Actually I believe I was removed because I asked a few questions- that seems like I could get no reply... this bothered me. IF you are a site claiming to help parent - parents who are using an illegal substance for their children - YOU better have answers!!! I don't claim to have the answers, but I would advise them to be very careful! I saw a mom post she believes her TODDLER is autistic and wants to try cannabis? WTF? Does she not know for sure? Is she a Dr? Cannabis is medicine. In our case our son suffer terrible daily chonic pain, Cashy - brain cancer, Haley - life threatening seisures - a decision not taken lightly by any parent I know. But to read-'I think' and 'I might try' Cannabis on my toddler! ? COME ON! Your child is never a prop to be used in a guessing game. Just like pills what affects us wtill affect them differently. Unless your child is seriously ill - you should not give them anything if you can help it. Who knows the long term affect of anything. The toon speaks for itself. Happened way to many times than I care to remember but like most other things in life it taught me to be a better person and now when I see a child - with obvious 'issues" I look directly at them in the eye and smile and usually say Hello Beautiful or Hello Handsome! That's all. A little silent prayer for mom or dad for strength. If you do stare be prepared for a glare! You deserve it. Don't see the illness see the beautiful little being before you. This applies to adults too. A smile and Hello can go a long way to brighten someone's day! xox <>< It is with a heavy heart that we will NOT be having Halloween this year. Have you seen our display? As timing has it this year there are several other 'event's going on and Halloween is a huge job on it's own. It takes ONE month to set up. The first reason, I am going in for surgery- late Oct - Early Nov. I know if we were doing halloween my surgery would be late Oct! LOL It is a very serious surgery - with recovery time 4-6 weeks- no work. If the display magically went up on it's own and I did not have to help or worry about my hubby - we'd say what the heck! BUT it does not. Norm also hurt his shoulder a while back and it is just now starting to feel better - so he can use the physical break as well. Here is the problem - For years - about 15! We have put on this huge display, HUGE! 100's pass through our spooky garage every year, one year when we tried to count with a hand clicker we got to over 800 and that was just the one night. It has also grown into a week long+ event. I feel terrible, but understand how important it is at this time NOT to add any unnecessary stress. What is breaking my heart most is that each year we raise over 700lbs = for our local food bank! No food this year ;-( The only thing I can think of was to add a donation button for the month of Oct. to my hubby's webpage. Every year I have had a draw halloween for $2.00 ticket **all the $ goes to the Georgina Food pantry, The draw is for a Halloween framed original. Last years photo below. I hope it helps. We are making a prop for the front lawn this weekend that says 'No Halloween' but we will be back next year! Have a peek at my Husbands web page, he sold 2 coffin just this past weekend and has decided to rent out some props this year if anyone is interested. http://www.normansworkshop.com/halloween.html I am sure NEXT year will be as always -bigger and better! If you usually come to our display please spread the word! I am also trying to come up with a sheet that has a list of other houses in the area. xox <>< Of course many of my friends ask me about Cannabis and it amuses me to learn that they have no idea- they think of Cannabis as a plant - right - that's about the extent of it. Many people do not realize the many different varieties that are available and how many treat different symptoms. Just like you can now get many different types of tomatoes- growers cross breed plants to get the different Cannabis blends. There are two main types of Medicinal Cannabis, Sativa and Indica as seen above. One fatter, wider leaves the other long and thin. They work like other medicines - how many of you have taken a cold medicine for the day and then a different one for the evening? SAME thing! I use both at different times. I always have a Indica in the evening to help me sleep. Usually coconut oil in my tea- very healthy way to drift off IMO. Also after a long day my arthritis is at its limit and it helps me feel more comfortable as I fall asleep.
When my twitch is constant and I need it to give me a break, I will also use indica to help me possibly meditate and even nap during the day- as a last resort when I start to feel exhausted. In the morning I use a sativa - usually after I'm up and going and it is the twitch that 'reminds' me to medicate. The sativa allows me to keep going - move past it - clean the house, do laundry or draw. I believe it helps most with depression. It does not make the twitch go away - If it did I would probably smoke it all day - who wouldn't!? Many believe Cannabis sounds too good to be true... Thank God it is that good. It allows millions to function daily. Knowing what I know now - it would be MY FIRST choice for pain control before I tried any chemical cocktail. Above is a drawing that I did for myself - I always forget the difference and now I wont, I hope I've helped someone else remember for the future - when it comes time for them to seek the medicine that best helps them. Plant the seed of cannabis education today! Show people, Cannabis helps many for many reasons! <>< XOX I know people, we all do.. who sit and do nothing. Is this all the gift of life is worth?
I am meeting some very sick people in my travels and it amazes me - these are the ones that are the opposite- ask them if they waste a day watching T.V., playing video games, getting high - no. They know all too well life is too short and we should embrace it, good and bad! So for those who have nothing wrong and just live off of others, be that parents, family, friends or the government - what an insult to life. Get up and make something of your life!!! You will feel better! Find your purpose! Make this world a better place to be for you and me ;-) xox <>< Wow from the 3,000's to the 100's in a short couple of weeks? Very cool! Hee hee hee, this one gave us all a giggle. The comment made by Daisy was made to me many moons ago by actor/comedian Harland Williams (went to Sheridan at the same time) I never forgot it, it made me laugh and "no, it was not a hair band!" So the though of Scruffy dressed in her school girl outfit - as you can see out of my mind and on paper! LOL - Thank God.
