This morning, Norm and I were fighting before 8 a.m. It's the weekend and I wanted to know what he was up to.. wrong answer. Our bedroom floor has been unfinished for over 5 years now. It is uncomfortable, slivers are common and UGLY. My bedroom, my room of peace.  I WANT IT DONE! I am such a visual person, every time I look at one of these unfinished projects it makes my blood boil, and that's because there are several!  Well, I was fuming, words were exchanged, yelling and finally Norm was off to Home depot to get the wood.  To make a long story short - it's 5 and the floor is done. Tomorrow, after I get it in, clean, arrange - it's going to be beautiful!!  Anyhow, after much thought I did post it on FB this a.m.  It appears many  others are starting their weekend the same. 
But on FB, life is all 'rosie' - only smidgets of our perfect lives! NOT. 
 Too many people are depressed, suicidal, miserable because they THINK  life should be perfect. It's not. I'm not about to contribute to the 'illusion' either, not for anyone. 
22 years we have been married. WORK. It's not the first argument and won't be the last.

Of course I had a comment from a 21 year old - wise in the ways of marital relations, that I was airing 'dirty laundry'. I was truly disappointed, that was the first comment that young man has ever made to me. I know him. Storm and he spent the 1 year of their lives together almost daily. Oh well.  I'm glad my son appears to have better manners.
Then I had to laugh and shook my head..
There it is..  'Bitching', in essence, I guess, according to him.  I hope his future bride pays attention. I guess we should keep it all in, let it out other ways... perhaps kick the dog when we walk by or better yet, pick up the bottle and drown our sorrows in silence, it is what too many already do.

Only positive posting - give me a break... this is the problem, I have friends who’s marriages are disintegrating.  One was saying  all they do is fight, but everyone they hang out with has 'perfect relationships'. With divorce rates what they are, the facts are that WE don’t all have  perfect lives, far from it!  We argue, IF MORE people admitted it - we might not have such serious issues with mental illness and depression for one!  Instead of keeping it in and building up! Pretending to the rest of the world that our lives are perfect.  

STRESS IS the number one killer -  it grows until it comes out in some other form of illness like cancer.  I’m sorry my facebook page/ website is not all carefree,  sunny, playing guitar and having a drink in my hand every other photo - life is just a ball. Woot, Woot, who wants to party!! 
That is not the 'illusion' I live.  If it is yours then you are blessed, celebrate! 
I wonder if the young man will feel the same after 20 years of marriage,  after 20 more years of life. How will he deal with his 'dirty laundry'. 

 I have nothing to be ashamed of - If not for Norm and I fighting - we would NOT be together still.  That is  a ‘real’ationship’ ! For better or worse. 
 It could be a lot worse... now the floor is done, it’s already better.
I thought about that post this morning and now after today.. I am even more convinced it was the right thing to do! 

If you don’t like my page, or website stay off. Un-friend. Delete. 
Especially, if the only thing you ever has to say is negative, please do me that favor.
Simple  

Next week the stairs.
Photos of my craft table ! Before and after. It was a very productive day, 2 batches of home made cookies too! 
 xox <><   

The times are changing! Thank GOD! 
People are becoming educated, they can't help it! 
Stories, news, people you know being healed with a plant! Freed from Pain and yes many are saying Free from Cancer! 
I am not going to sit here and say "Believe it Damn it!!!"  
No, I prefer to say - get curious, I dare you.. Do a bit of research.  Then I KNOW you will be shocked and angry and then you will start to research a bit more. It is common sense.
When  DRUG companies are being sued, left and right for side effects and then this:
In one of the country’s largest health care-related settlements, pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson paid $2.2 billion to settle charges of false marketing, and paying doctors and nursing homes kickbacks for promoting drugs for unapproved uses.

I can't help but sit here between twitches - some so painful  I can't thinks straight while they are going on.  No one seems to be able to tell me why or how to stop it. 
3 Neurologists and a not completely successful surgery... was it pills?  I was prescribed the above drug  "it was to give a medication I was on a boost".  
I've had people say to me "SUE!",  I am too busy living and trying to function to sue. 
THAT is another terrible side effect. How many people are just too sick and tired? 
Too many.  

We have to pick our battles and I'm pretty sure mine is evident to all who know me! 
 I battle for my son's medicine. The love of my life's - Quality of life giving medicine!
Bring it on.
I am confident with each passing day  and continued education that the times are changing! Harper - when you start arresting the sick for something Health Canada allowed for years... I will make sure as will several thousand other Canadians that the rest of the world is aware of  how you treat your your sick and suffering. <3 - They seem to be getting a pretty good idea lately as it is.

Tomorow's Blog Radio Interview.

Music for your blog reading enjoyment:

Wow, this cartoon smacked me right in the head ;-) Awesome.
It started with a joke from my best bud Cathy.♥ 
I was stressed wondering what to draw for 4/20?! 
The universal day of 
Celebration for Cannabis!!! 
A Plant.
Grown from a seed.
Made by *GOD.
(*original patent holder)


Medical, Recreational, Hemp, Food, Fuel.. 
It's the day and I want to say THANK YOU!  
                                       I have said it so many times, I thank God daily for this Plant! 
Give us this Day our daily Bud...  <3 Wow. YES,   I read recently  how powerful that prayer is;  Give us this dayour daily bread,  -not thanks for yesterday, or make sure I have it tomorrow. Give us THIS day.  Focus on today.
.. and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us,
 and that                 ^ ^        ^  That simply put means  ^    ^  ^             :
                                               PEACE, PEOPLE!  
Religion aside... who can argue with those lines?  How else are we going to get ahead, clearly WAR is not the answer! 
Thank you Marvin, now in my head for the rest of the day.
People all around the world who suffer over a plant. A plant less toxic than many others,  proven helpful to ease pain, yet illegal and lives destroyed because of it.    
WTF?   O.M.God.  How disappointing.  
A PLANT.  While others  rape, kill, abuse, terrorize, suffer & starve needlessly... 
enough with the bullshit distraction. 
FOCUS on the REAL problems at hand. 

Rise Up people! Speak up! <3   Celebrate this Plant! Let it be a symbol of change.
It all starts with a SEED!!!  Life.

So.. Yes!
     Give us this Day our daily bud, 
       and thank you Lord  for it!
I do! Everyday! Keeping the Love of my life happy - How could I not give thanks?
Celebrate 4/20, Spread Peace and Love !!! 
- there are already enough assholes doing the opposite;-)


xox <><

Tomorrow is the BIG day!  Cannabis will be celebrated all over the world! What started as a time for a bunch of guys to meet to smoke some 'marijuana'  at 4:20 everyday , has turned into a world wide celebration! On April 20th - 4/20.. People all around the world unite and light up! AWESOME! 
At first I thought it was 'neat' but then to see it grow and share! People get together to share, hang out, talk, laugh, educate and stand up for something they believe in! 

Medicinal and recreational, the crimes against Humanity regarding this plant are shameful.  Every year it grows larger, parades, marches, sit -in's & MORE!  Think about it...  When else do they do this? Not enough times I'm afraid. We should have a world wide NO GMO day! Or  Celebrate the children day and stop abuse! 

I was asked to post a cartoon early at 7:00 p.m. my time - because it is April 20 on the other side of the world already! ;D  Yes, I will admit in my small mind,  I did not think of that at first!  How many realize the problems regarding cannabis are all around the world?  Some people even die because of it.  
I do! I have been educated! I plan on doing what ever I can to help educate others! 
If it is as simple as drawing a cartoon that will get some attention, create a curiosity...
Done!
I have another new toon to post tomorrow a.m. ;-) 
Have a great time all who plan on doing something special for 4/20!  Remember to do it 'peacefully' < something asscoiated with pot smokers, and I'm fine with that! 
Stand up for what you believe in! Why else are you here? 
xox <><

I'll admit I thought you could get high licking the toad.

I saw this photo and was pissed - this, this is why we are fighting - as medicinal patients.  Because of someone famous who people see- a 'ROCK STAR' 
and think it's all a joke. So I thought if I could, what would I say to Chris... 

Dear Chris Brown:
Regarding this photo and recent text  
"Oh don't worry,"  "It's medicinal!! Lol."


 http://ca.eonline.com/news/368346/chris-brown-smokes-three-joints-of-medicinal-marijuana-see-the-picture

 Do you think this is funny? It appears you are making a joke.
 Please e me so I may enlighten you on our sons medicine that helps him with chronic pain, because of his progressive to terminal bone disease. Chronic pain suffered since birth.
I am sure it is difficult for you to understand  - not experiencing it (thank God).
His 'Medical Cannabis' has been life saving.

Actually, I have a ‘few’ friends that all rely on this medicine (mothers, fathers, children - all races all ages) in order to just live a normal life. I know a few mothers (and fathers) that could  happily share their opinions with you.

Do you think it’s a joke that more black Americans  (many more than caucasian)  are in jail for doing what you joke about? They are not ‘rock stars’ so they will probably lose their home, jobs & families AND go to jail - for what you brag about.

I don’t find it very funny. Many very seriously ill people need this medicine and are already having a hard time because of such ‘jokes’  and ignorance.  
You are setting an example. Unfortunately. 
 We though you would have learned that by now.

 Kindly show others  a bit of compassion.


Respectfully 
Georgia 

Please educate your self - Here is a wonderful start:
BREAKING the TABOO   (*Yeah Richard! ♥)
http://www.youtube.com/user/breakingthetaboofilm

I have said it before.
Walk in my shoes, learn what we have learned about Pharmacetuical drugs and then tell me you would not give your child Cannabis under the same circumstance! 
Watch this link and tell me this mother or father is wrong 
- LISTEN to the DR.  then .. imagine it is your child.
http://live.huffingtonpost.com/r/segment/parents-choose/50b663372b8c2a5d91000184
I am so tired of hearing this argument. 
WE live it. WE see it's miracle and  I <3 these parents! 
SHARE - teach! Sooner or later Dr.s will have to agree. 
AS PARENTS we must demand what is best for our children. ASK them - what would they do if it was their child?   
 The next time someone says - but there are medications for nausea - yes there are and while you are at it - LOOK up the side effects!!  Dr.s have no problem prescribing  drugs to children - but have issues with a PLANT? *  That has never caused OVERDOSE or DEATH.
WHAT parent in their right mind would give their children an opiate that they can become addicted to or even die from?  I'd rther watch my child laugh and happy than be a zombie on the sofa- TRUST me - I saw him for far too long sit and suffer and not play because he was in pain. UNTIL he tried cannabis. 
TALK to your Dr. 
The choice is Clear- Cannabis!!! 
I feel great about this news! Can you tell?  I drew this cartoon last week in bed and finally felt good enough to paint it today ;-))) - so Thank You God!  xox <>< 

* Note: Not all Dr.s I have been blessed with the best. ♥ .
Talk to your Dr. Help educate them. 
They are ONLY human. <super smart but still human ;-)

Weight loss is one of the biggest magic bullets around.  Take this pill and you'll be thin. IF only. WAKE up Sheeple!!!
If that was the case would there be any obese people? No
I am sick and tired of advertising that in very small print says results NOT typical - well you know what show us what is TYPICAL so we can make an honest, educated decision ourselves. These pills that are hurting and even killing people - because of advertising that is ''false" should be banned. Stopped. Hold accountable any business that uses such false advertising. Next time you see an add that says results are not typical - MOVE on. That is a way for them to protect their ass- when you don't get the results you saw in the magazine! Stop buying the magazine, WRITE to magazines and ask them to tell you the truth if you are going to be spending your money on them.. The best thing you can do is educate yourself & your kids! Teach them about photoshop (some neat examples below), false advertising and to research ANY medication- pills- herbal or synthetic that they plan on putting into their one beautiful body! xox    
From the photos below - even the beautiful they touch up!
No such thing as perfection so why lie?  Teach love comes in all shapes, colors and moles!

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

Ignorance is bliss... It was until I started to research all this Cannabis stuff!  I then was turned onto GMO information and documentaries on STUFF.  Cannabis is STILL illegal even after  centuries of  '0' reported deaths, proven medicinal qualities and numerous (MILLIONS) of first hand accounts from the PEOPLE on how it HELPS.  There is a growing (no punn intended) concern regarding GMO's from Salmon to tomatoes (GREAT DOC - WATCH FREE CLICK HERE)  -who will say what the long term affect of GMO's will be - a rise in cancer? That is what is expected ... EXPECTED!?  Don't believe me research it for yourself. I DARE YOU!  Yes because ignorance is bliss. 
Too  many would rather turn on the tube and be amused - worse - possibly educated by the countless mind melting reality T.V.;  NOT a REALITY of mine!! Thank God. Sadly in many cases children copy parents and we will have a new generation of mind melted drones - who will not have a clue what to do when they really NEED to. . they will eat all this crap and die at an earlier age - Oh wait! That is happening NOW! 
For the first time in history children are dying at a  earlier age with  diabetes and obesity & childhood cancers on the rise. Passing before their parents. ;-(
Do you know that the average very successful and intelligent person watches very LITTLE   T.V. ? And they for sure do not spend the day on Face book. Distraction. 
Like or not - we all all being distracted and sooner or later it will hit home.  In India they have tried to patent seeds - so that you can only ever get seeds if you have money! SEEDS!!
Should you plant a seed from a vegetable that is patent - you will be fined. Charged. 
We here say - well just go to the grocery store- in India - they say -  we will starve. That could be our future should we CONTINUE to lose control of our rights as humans.
When I was thinking of this toon I was going to have a animal say the comment on the end because the reality might not be appreciated, the next morning - before I started to draw  - on FB someone posted a starving man and my mind was made up. No cute gopher.
TOO BAD if some find it harsh.  It is reality and I will not be a part of ignoring it. 
I pray I can be a part of changing it.  
WHEN will you TURN off the T.V and TUNE into LIFE and the serious issues surrounding all of us? When you are starving? 
This is starvation. If you are interested. I found it by accident just now and thanked God I drew my cartoon. http://knowmorethanyouretold.blogspot.ca/  I was blown away - over a year ago someone sent me an image that changed my life.  I will warn you I NEVER got it out of my head, the same image and the same comment are at the bottom of that page.  It took me a while. But I thank God for seeing that image.
I was blind but now I see and I will make a difference. 
No one should suffer like that let alone innocent children. Imagine being that mother.  I Am BLESSED!!!    PAY ATTENTION!  Please.
xox <>< 
Oh BTH I have never seen the Kardashiens (really don't know how to spell it) from the rare posts and news bits that I have witnessed - It is a very sad sign that these people are being idolized.  I feel sorry for them and us.
