Happy New Year!

It's a new year and change is in the air!! I know it! I feel it! 
On the Cannabis front I say it has been a great year, cannabis has been discussed like never before.  People are realizing the healing benefits and many are admitting to it's being a  healthy option to opiates.  As the rest of the world seems to be progressing what are we doing? Going backwards. Talking about turning sick people into criminals, and charging those already less fortunate  unbelievably jacked up prices for medicine that they now pay only pennies for.  I read about criminals and people profiting. WHO does not PROFIT now a days?  The Pharmaceutical industry sure does profit... and kills. The numbers staggering. Cannabis still '0' deaths.    
Cannabis saves my sons life. Simple. What would you do.
Probably what I am .. only in a different manner! Stand up for what you believe it!
If not now - when? 
HAPPY NEW year!

Plant not plant!

Pick up the paper, Turn on the TUBE (not for too long), scan through FB - the truth can not be hidden long. If you are not reading about Cannabis as a miracle medicine - now being pushed and promoted by many professionals, Dr.s, and stoners alike. Why are there so many Cannabis activists? Because people KNOW the truth, we have been using it for centuries. 
If you are not reading about cannabis then you ARE reading about the Pill epidemic across Canada and the USA. Killing thousands  daily - due to prescription drug complications. America is the most 'prescribed' drugged nation and the sickest. Don't believe me - I dare you to research it. Canadians are following fast behind.   The choice right now is ours. 
EDUCATE yourself, read warning labels!!! READ side effects- even then you have no idea of other drug interactions, overdose or numerous other problems. Drugs that are only being tested for a couple of years and then released. We have no idea of long term effects.  
So choose wisely. For me it's plant - the living healthy kind,

My wish for this Christmas is everyone put their fears aside if for only a little while and get some peace.  We can all get back to business in the new year. 

Merry Christmas!!!

That's my girl! Daisy got her bone and Poppy said sharing, sharing, sharing! It was/is very cute to watch. Daisy is the most patient dog - well she is when it comes to Poppy. It was too funny when Poppy dragged it under the coffee table. Daisy was out of luck. 
I love my girls. Poppy is my service dog! I find when I need to I lie down and she is right with me, it helps to pat her and try to remain calm through attacks ;) I love my girls! My girlfriend visited and she said now that our kids are older the pets do take on a special meaning at Christmas.  They get into it, the cat under the tree, the dogs at the gifts...
it is never boring.  Although the first thing we remember are the Christmas mornings with Storm when he was small & Believed in Santa - we had fun. I do miss throwing carrots on the roof for the reindeer. 
I have had a great weekend with my guys. 
I look forward to the holiday officially starting on Tuesday!
I hope Santa is really good and restores power to all who need it before Christmas gets here!!! Sounds like many a turkeys might be BBQ If you must venture out DRIVE SAFE! . xox

Me & Grama Dee

O.k. I will admit I don’t know too much about Grama, other than I have seen her posts and they make me giggle. I am such a Dr. Suess fan! Just watched the Grinch! My favorite movie!!! Next Charlie Brown Christmas. ;)  Well Grama Dee Rhymes and she does it well.

Due to my twitch computer time is limited, I’d rather spend it reading a good book or drawing. I can’t keep up with FB - with over 5000 I see different posts from different people and some stick in my brain. Grama is one of them. I like her playful pondering. 

We were going to do something a while back but due to my health we did not, the other day I saw a comment she wrote and thought -that’s it! I decided to e her and tell her what I wanted and man oh man was she quick! LOL !! LOVE IT! I said take two days - I bet she took less that two hours. AWESOME!  I WANT to draw! I know what I want to draw and I know what I want to say but I dont know how to say it. She does! She gave me 3 ideas and I couldn’t wait to draw! All 3 are done, this is the second. My favorite is the 3rd...

I admit I don’t know much else, I know she has son, is a cannabis activist, patient,  and neat person IMO. Interesting and tries to make the world a better place. I will be finding out more.  I have a few ideas I hope Grama Dee & Me can work something out. 

Stay tooned for more.  

So excited for Christmas! This is the first year in a while that we are really celebrating! Tree up! LOL - I allowed gifts!  Tis the season and I am happy to be here to celebrate with those I love!  Such a gift!  
I am also personally thrilled to celebrate the birth of the best example of a human that ever lived. <>< A KING among Men is Born!  

Today we bake ginger bread! 
Norm makes! 
I decorate!!
Storm eats!!!
What a team!

'Baking' extra this season?

Wow this was/is a difficult blog still to this date. 
Let me start by saying Norm (my hubby of 20 years) can drive me nuts!  I live with him and I’ve said a few things about Norm in the past -some not so nice! LOL 
BUT NEVER will you hear me say he is NOT a hard worker. ASK anyone, and he really gives it his best. 

As a matter of fact, the last company he was at, he was there 9 years, when the bosses house needed work - It was Norm that did it. He is also an incredible trouble solver and is called into many sites where they don’t quite know what happened or even how to fix it - they called Norm many times.  I still remember the first Christmas, the BOSS made a point to thank Norm for joining the company and all the amazing work he was capable of!  I am well aware of what Norm is capable of! Everything you see the busy beaver Norm built! He never stops.  He is also a VERY loyal employee. 

A couple of years ago - days after an expo - I was on the back deck recovering! I am so exhausted after an expo - it’s given me an entire new respect for those that do it full time!  Well, Norm shows up beside me and it’s only 2p.m.  Another thing about Norm - He is never sick, never calls in sick - unless he is dying and never plays ‘hookie’ - he then proceeded to tell me he thinks he has been fired!! 

I was shocked! What could he have possibly done to be fired!? 

He left a magazine and a tiny bag of catnip at a job site.

Norm was (and is) so proud of us as a family - what we do and the EXPO just literally passed not 24 hours was EXCITED,  Norm although never seen is a big part of it all - I’d never be able to do it without him - he was sharing with the guys at work  how the weekend went - one of the guys asked Norm to share our son’s story -with him... Norm went to his truck and brought one of the magazines - the Treating Yourself magazine that featured Storms story in it, (You can read it here) he also had one of my business cards I hand out at the expo. - * I’ve blogged about it before.. I hand out business cards with small amounts -1 tsp. of catnip in them, CLEARLY marked CATNIP * Marco made sure I did this for the expo. They are great people see me hanging out little baggies and come and get them, only to giggle when they see that is is catnip. They continued to discuss as they ate lunch...

Norm forgot the magazine and the catnip at the house (an empty home at the time)
he was called into work the next day and a STRIP was ripped off of him!  The boss was disgusted!!  He said “The client said the company had a bunch of STONERS working for them!”

Norm was sent home until they decided what to do about it...
I tried right away to sort it out! Poor Norm was so upset! I could not figure it out! 
It WAS just a magazine - found on an empty job site. No cannabis - No shoddy work - NOT FROM MY HUSBAND, no smoking - NORM NEVER smokes Cannabis.. and it was the magazine explaining Storms story!  I sent an e mail saying I would be happy to apologize to the home owner and explain about Storm and the situation. 

Nothing.. no reply.. 2 days later - Norm was called into the office and the bosses wife -  told Norm how “she could understand what we are going through...”  REALLY!? 

BUT, they had to teach others a lesson!  
Norm was sent home from work with no pay for 2 weeks. 

I WAS LIVID. I contacted a lawyer who told me that he had no doubts that what they were doing was illegal but he was out of Ontario and I’d have to call someone locally- Keep in mind I am not well - pre surgery.  I have to pick my battles - We are very much like the rest of you and LIVE paycheck to paycheck - That was over $2000. gone that we were not expecting!  It was and alway be to me, when they literally took food off our table. OVER a magazine and ignorance. 

Well - everything for a reason - the irony was I DID just finish the expo and we had some money that went all to bills- so much for my new glasses. It was June and we decided to HAVE FUN! Stuff got done! Norm had an unexpected vacation. I did not want him to go back. BUT he knew he had to - until we could sort stuff out.

EVERY time I thought of it, it hurt. Why? I should be use to ignorance and judgement by now, I’ve had it from a few good friends. BUT NORM? Norm never intentionally hurts a fly, he is such a hard working guy and he really was loyal specifically to the boss, I liked him too. He was a great hugger. <That was it. WE were hurt. Were we not part of the  company family all these years. They know what we deal with, Norm such a great employee - did they not even think to defend him!?  They said the owners were muslim- and that Cannabis is a sin. All I could do was think ‘GIVE Me a break’.

AND to prove a point?!?- $2000. What exact lesson was that? It wasn’t bad enough that you teated him like a criminal and ripped a strip of him for a topic that is about our son’s life saving medicine! I can tell you it was a good thing it was Norm in that office and not me.- Norm who would bend over back wards and did many times for that f*cking company.  Well - it was not long after that that he went into one of the VP’s office and questioned money that was not on his paycheck for hours worked - the response he got was “GET out of my office YOU are on thin ice! “   Talk about professional.  That was it. It got so bad I could hardly talk to Norm - I hated him going to work for people who treat employees like crap but we have bills to pay ;( 

Thecompany continued to ‘bully’ - the only word that I can think of.. what a way to treat your employes that work to get you where you are. Men who all have problems of their own at home, and are berated by ‘bosses’ that they help make rich.

Ask and ye shall receive, one fellow was leaving  the company not too long ago and Norm mentioned to him as he was leaving “tell them if they need anyone else call me..”

Norm later received a call from the owner of a company called Findlays restoration.
He was asked to come in for an interview, he was offered less pay - not much less but a bit - he came home and I said - “I DON'T CARE! TAKE IT and get OUT!"  

Ironically as Norm was waiting to serve out his TIME - the last 2 weeks.. a memo went out to all the guys = calling them all a bunch of morons more or less- that need their ‘mommy’s to pack their lunch boxes’ and ‘should have memo’s stapled to their temples”.  I kid you not.   WOW.  

Norm is like a new man! I had a hard time thinking about all the rotten stuff the last place did - because he is so happy at this new place! He comes home daily tell me things - like all the others that work here can’t stop raving about what an awesome guy the owner is, he never yells, he is a great person to work for, he makes you feel appreciated... 
Just a few short months & his mood is a complete turn around. 
All I can say is thank you. Thank you for a lesson on so many levels.  

Thank you for teaching us - no matter what - we will fight for what we believe in and under no circumstance ever - will we be ashamed out Storms medicine and sharing it with the world.  Friends, family, co workers - until someone walks in your shoes I could care less what they think.  It was an expensive lesson  ‘it’s only money’ 

As it stood we were provided for ❤  and once again we survived. 

AND: One door close and another SWINGS OPEN!!  In this case the drywall, wood & paint is greener on the other side!
Have faith!  <>< XOX

Laughing All The Way!!!

Before I am anything I am a mom. AND very proud of it. 
Storm was my gift the second my Dr. told me on my birthday I was pregnant.
I never forget He is the best gift I have ever been blessed with. 
The seed of Love  - For most of us it is a seed planted in love. 
No matter HOW you feel 5, 15, and 20 years later (and more!)  ;)

So A MOM first is what I am and I say to Storm all the time:  
PLEASE DONT DRINK and drive!!! We all say this to our young adults.
       We should be. We all need the reminder and Tis the season.
So many parents lose their children to alcohol and driving and let’s face it 

Tis The SEASON! CHEERS!!!  HO HO HOpe I don’t run into R.I.D.E.
                      ^ How many of us have said it and still do. ^

Don’t drive if you are taking OXY and you feel high.
Don’t drive if you are taking cold medicine! That stuff use to knock me on my ASS!
Don’t drive if you are sick and can’t focus and feel like shit!
Don’t drive IF you feel impaired in any way! 

I DONT Drive. - Which really sucks because Norm promised me a smart car for my 50th. But the last time I had the truck out I had an attack in a drive-through and felt really uncomfortable!! It is NOT worth it. Not just for me but for others. 

PLEASE do not drive if ‘impaired’.  *IMPAIRED = ON CELLPHONE!! 

ALL of these reasons kill more daily than a driver strictly on cannabis.
I have yet to read of a case. 
Cannabis for many - especially those in chronic pain helps them to Function & Focus- as does many medication for many people. I also know of a few that use it for anxiety of city driving! 

I believe a driver should be judged by his actions rather than his medicine. 
IT IS OUR OWN CHOICE to get behind a wheel. 
With our Canadian winters we have enough difficulty driving *like the 20 car pile up just this past week on the QEW. So please.. not even Cannabis. IF. 

xox LOVE a MOM.

Yep! it is officially here! - Lol I am  bit late... Oh well. Actually this drawing has been on my desk since before I went on a vacation, I just got around to inking it. I like it! On my Georgia Toons page on FB - strictly toons for those not interested in the  other stuff .
Actually I added that page when my original page reached it's limit and people were messaging me. FB is forever changing, I can hardly keep up  so I just try to go with the flow.
What I LOVE about December:
Dog Sweaters, Santa = Not the commercializm - but the folklore more.
Hot chocolate, Norm's gingerbread, fresh new snow, snuggling with a good book, early to bed, sweaters, warm boots, more time drawing, Poppy on my lap. Poppy in sweaters, the occasional snowball... the Christmas Display ;-) Nativities. The birth of Jesus Christ.  Celebration,  more sparkle, christmas lights, snowmen! Canada in winter.

Yes, it actually happened! 
Daisy went for her favorite ball and it got stuck to her lips. It was amusing for all involved, except Daisy! Right away we laughed about this and Norm nearly chocked on his  apple crumble when I said "Scruffy Double Dog dared her!"  
I forgot to draw him a birthday card yesterday so I know he will enjoy this toon 
Drawn with TLC - AS are all my cartoons!

A documentary was on about HIV. How over 34 million now suffer with it ;-(  It has nothing to do with being gay anymore.  It no longer cares who it kills. 
I can't tell you the number of times over the years I have selfishly thought, Thank God it was before my time... it was and it was not, I was not aware as I am now or rather like most other things - I was not as educated on the topic as I now am. 
The doc. continued to say that the quickest rising numbers are the poor, (of course) & women in their early 20's. 
I do not know the channel I was watching up in Haliburton so I can't look for the television show. I did find this informative www on line with some facts and fictions about HIV.
http://www.webmd.com/hiv-aids/ss/slideshow-aids-retrospective
One of the most shocking facts to me was,  out of a number of people tested - still a HUGE amount were NOT even aware they MIGHT have it. I forget the exact amount but the numbers were high!  So these people were all still actively having unprotected sex. Wow.
No wonder it is STILL continuing to increase at alarming rates - 30 years later.
Please EDUCATE someone today.
