Turn off the lights so you can see the stars shine!  It's 'dark week' and the idea is your turn off the lights in the evening so we can all see the stars more clearly!! It also helps with bird migration - although  birds still fly into  buildings for several reasons - city lights only confuse birds,  it's one if the reasons those giant lights were banned - like that light to search for batman - remember them?  I live outside of the city in the suburbs so I do see the stars a little brighter most nights especially  in the summer... I can walk to a field and they seem even brighter - if you have the opportunity to travel up north with even less humans the nigh sky is even more spectacular.   Who better to see it than a Chimp in space. Have you seen Rocket man? It's a good movie to watch with kids...  Harland & I went to Sheridan at the same time - he is a funny man.

I was watching Gaia yesterday  I really like Regina Meredith - if I could choose my woman friends- she would be one - I watched an old episode yesterday and I bet this guy is feeling mighty good about his little Facebook clip he made- it has turned out to become 100% accurate. Watch and see.  Jon   ​ on Secret SocietiesOpen Minds  from an episode in 2012.
Gaia is my favourite to listen & watch  as I paint.

Did I get you thinking about women being C*nts yesterday- good- because the truth is- some of these women - you should be most grateful for  - they teach us the best. I'm serious, 
and the things is.. I think these women have become Supreme bitches (meant in a positive light ) for a reason...  Experience.  There is a fantastic show on netflix - I highly recommend for women in particular- although Storm has found it equally as fascinating:  

                         The Ascent of Woman.         What an eye opener..
​
Many women in history portrayed as evil witches & bitches were no more than excuses to exterminate and degrade the other 1/2 of the planet. Do you know 80% of the witch trials- were women- legal ways to murder women, they even wrote a pamphlet to help easily expose such vial women.  Who was usually the first to hang? Outspoken, smart and  courageous women- healers- women who could help with herbs - teachers, educators... let's not forget if a husband wanted a new wife-  all he has to do was inform others  his wife was a witch, problem solved.

The thing is, I have young women friends- and they need to understand the struggles they have - I've had and continue to do so, struggles with others opinions, jealousy & competitiveness - even if YOU are not competitive- most others are.. this  'We all should get along'- is BULLSHIT-  it's just not how it is... we are not here to all get along - we are all here to teach each other.
​
Not everyone is going to like us- the sooner we understand and accept the sooner you learn to say: Phhhhhhhbt.   If everyone liked me - life would be  boring...  Do I 'hate' any of these women - no.  I admire them in the sense they keep going after what they want - an usually succeed.  Many display traits men have and are admired for, look into every 'nasty' woman and theres a bit of a story on how she became that way.. there are far more - staggering differences between the amounts  alone of 'evil men compared to 'evil women.  I know a few women I consider 'Tuff'  - C*nts even..  they come by it honestly & have some of my respect - even if I do not "like them".    

Facebook already makes it appear - life is 'honkey dorey'- only share the good.. all appear to play nicely - it's just an act. We don't - it's not real life - so learn... BE real with your kids- teach them about the good the bad and the ugly-  Ugly on the inside - I see no "Ugly' humans" only ugly intentions.  Each time I feel I've been HURT' - it's an opportunity to think, reflect and decide - how will I react? Make no mistakes- why let people away with crap, if you do they have a tendency to repeat- if your going to treat me poorly I will give the 'Heads up' to others-   I heard  a podcast -a woman shared - another woman said to her "I'd stay away from him if i were you" but the one woman thought the other was just being a jealous bitch and ignored the warning- only to be brutally raped by the person the other had warned about..   We have to listen to each other - even if we don't like each other.
We should protect each other- even IF we don't "like" each other.  
I share in hopes some might be educated- not feel so alone and  might even avoid some of the same  not so pleasant life experiences.
I'm not proud of my first reactions in many cases - but I am proud- in time - once I have time to think and process - I usually conclude  - how can we hate anyone who is just trying to do the best they think they can?  How can I hate anyone I don't KNOW.  
I can't.

Thank them! Thank them for the lesson- You know who you are- you beautiful bitches-  Calculating C*nts!...  lol    Thank you!
You teach me who I do not want to be and what I would like to aspire to instead, you are some of my greatest teachers.

Still cold, ice & snow.. good day to paint!

Don't teach them to post nasty remarks on strangers pages... I read how young girls are becoming meaner at younger ages - in nursery school.  Where the heck do you think they learn it?  Are they listening to mean moms? Watching mean moms sitting beside mom - watching some HorribleHousewife show?  In nursery school?!
Why would anyone watch these  shows where women backstab, fight, argue, alienate other women? Who wants to aspire to this?  What do you take away from that sort of TV? 
Mean baby girls learn from BIG mean Girls.    
I know when I pay attention to mean women, I can start to feel a little mean myself...
I'd rather paint.  

Mean girls/women don't have to say anything- some are incredibly manipulative - they  do it other ways..  I know a few, we all do.  I just listened to a pod cast- the 'new thing' is  to 'alienate people online' - TRY to embarrass them on social media -  try to remember it all stems from fear, hate & jealousy.  
This morning I was reminded how serious it all can be when I read this story:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/jeremy-quaile-knightley-dog-death-calgary-1.4602948   It's sad all around.. there is a common demonator- ALCOHOL. 

Trolls alienate with little words here and there, spread hate & lies...  just like in grade school - if you don't belong to their 'little Clique', follow their rules, kiss their ass =  you are worthless - little spoiled brats turn into middle school bitches who grow up to be first class c*nts.    Everyone talks about 'how bad men are' - women can be equals in every way.

Imagine how hard it is for little girls NOW...  as much as I as 'an adult' try to ignore and keep positive....  stuff still gets to me sometimes.  It hurts at ANY age.    Men & women.
What do you do?   Start to agree with what you don't agree with?  Feel sorry for yourself?  Hash it out with them on Facebook- for many to watch with few understanding.  
Teach your little girls:
Turn off  the petty bullshit &  turn in and turn on your talents!   

When they can't hurt them with words they try to alienate &  'Black list' ... Brendan Frazer experienced the same ordeal,  first sexually abused then black listed. I HOPE more men talk about #metoo.  A tag team black listed me - an American & Canadian - 2 Cannabis (self proclaimed) Queens.   At first I was confused & hurt.. why?   Now..   who cares?  Phhhbbt.  Frankly after watching  these women the past 7 years & hearing from many about their behind the scenes antics - they are the last people I would want to socialize with or be associated with in real life.  I see them no longer as they represent themselves to others -  NOW, I see them how they truly appear & have presented themselves to me.

DELETE negative comments on your social media page. DELET/BLOCK nasty people.
I don't get many negative comments thankfully,  but I've seen many on friends pages- from strangers who don't even know them. Delete them. Quick, press a button gone. Just like they should be - why give them any satisfaction of spreading anger & hate with nothing better to do in this life - they are truly the saddest & angriest. 

Please take the time to comment something truly positive & nice today on social media,
I look for other artist - I know a little encouragement goes a long way. It's easy.
Focus on your gift  & keep improving, be in your bliss, enjoy your day.
Let nasty continue to Focus on nasty=  mean gets nastier, uglier,  two in particular have gone down hill the past few years...  who do they have to blame? Themselves.
​
I don't know how I would handle  if I had a little girl who related feeling like this so early - I would teller to get use to it because it'g going to happen to her, her entire life & then I'd teach her to paint or garden, sew...

I'm painting some POSITIVE, beautiful women- women who raise up and encourage on this planet - who help each other & help the planet. Actually, today I'm painting a monkey in space - to promote  DARK week.  :) 

I just found out this amazing  ICON, this incredible woman is in Toronto - 'sold out'.. I wish I could see her so much.. instead I'll  honour & thank her with a painting.

You are created to create!
Let the haters hate.

How is this NOT a hate crime?   How is cannabis responsible? 
Read this and tell me what your conclusions are..  it does not take long for anyone to figure out WHY this GUY is not being punished   & won't have a record.
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-lawyer-mark-phillips-pleads-guilty-in-st-thomas-ont-baseball-bat/
​
ASK yourself:
Did he run up to a white family in a parking lot & start hitting them with bats? 
Did he  scream at the family to stop speaking English?
Did he yell racial slurs that most people would not consider ever stating to strangers regardless of their thoughts?  & he's done  it before...

It is a mental illness problem for sure - but to blame it solely on cannabis is absurd. 
It was just an EXCUSE. Cannabis is a scape goat. He lost it..  (obviously)  
Road &  immigrant  hate- rage. My mom once gave a driver the finger who cut us off.. he too  followed us and when we stopped, he got out of his truck and started walking at us with  bat! I can tell you the fear that came over my mom and I instantly - was insane.  We never forgot.   Imagine HOW those people felt  & still do - now that the judge blamed it on cannabis and NOT a NASTY HUMANS ACTIONS.
Might he be free because he is a lawyer - who's also the great-grandson of Nathan Phillips... this is the first case like this of it's kind where the judge ruled it was due to a 'cannabis induced psychosis'.    Bullshit.  

Lawyers have a lot of stress.. I get it.  Still he lost control and physically  hit a stranger with a bat!  I can't help but wonder - had this been a average black man (Yep- I'm saying it)  who attacked a white family with a bat - cannabis or none - he'd be in &  going to JAIL. 
Yikes- I wonder if he's married.. I wonder what his temper is like when not out in public hitting people with bats?  Do you think he's calm and never losing control.... right.
​I'm sure his family is aware of his condition  - long before cannabis. To have the anger he did - I feel pity for him. I get angry-  I can even throw stuff from time to time  but YOU don't pick up a Baseball Bat and beat up others...  unless YOU are mentally, hatefull & ill.. with or with out cannabis. 

​I have had thoughts of wanting someones leg broken with a bat :(   Really. I think of him (only when I have to drive by his business) -  an adult (hearing professional) who lied to and took advantage of Storm with of all things - his hearing aids. I've blogged about it in the past.. it still hurts me - because I thought to myself (first time)  Storm is old enough - I'll let him deal with this guy on his own..  and HE TOOK advantage of him and sold our deaf son - A (one) hearing aid and insurance for only one fucking ear.   ?   Storm has worn 2 hearing aids since diagnosed a 4 with sever hearing loss.  He can't hear without them.
 Who only  insures one hearing aid? .. oh, but we could insure both for an ADDED fee.   I saved the papers - I can still prove it.  So .. there was a reason-  lol -  a pissed off mom and I own a bat- Did I drive over and take a few wacks? No.  
Now that I know (according to this judge)  if I had smoked a few joints before hand - I might have gotten away with it- it might have changed my perspective.   I am being sarcastic.  

He mislead Storm (called him "Stupid") when I confronted him and he verbally abused me- terribly.  I couldn't figure out how he did it - with others in the office at the time- HE was YELLING and threatening me at the top of his lungs'- until I spoke with another  hearing specialist who said - "he phoned you from the sound proof booth..."   wow, what kind of sick F*ck uses his sound proof booth to call and intimate  others. I know one.   I'd bet I was not the first or the last.   He knows and I know... God knows.  

No, I did not resort to violence but I do share the story with everyone I know and  people  pay attention...  If you need new hearing aids-  'Upper Canada Hearing'  in Newmarket is where to go - who has been helping Storm since he was a toddler - why we ever went to the other was a mistake - close to home cost us big time $ and mentally.
Karma  not a bat will take care of him,  when I realized this- it was easy to let it go.  
But I did think of it... many of US 'think of it' at one time or another in our lives- especially if  you mess with our children.  Do we do it?  No.. Never.   Cannabis or not.
He smoked  3 joints i think I read- so obviously  it's not his first experience with cannabis either.   B U L L S H I T .

Do you know how Karma works - everyone will look at him NOW & know what he is really capable of, the hatred he clearly has inside...  who wants this guy for a lawyer?   Phhhbt.   

Please think rationally about this for a moment..  
​How long has cananbis been around? - A really LONG time- it's been found in mummy tombs- it's said to be an ingredient in Jesus's healing ointment 
How many people smoke cannabis .. then and now?  LOTS! Just wait till legalization..
​How many times have we heard of someone 'high'  who attacks people with bats?  
NONE, this is the first 'person' ever.   

So are we to understand that if he had not smoked cannabis  he would never have had such racial slurs? Not think such thoughts? Why did he have a bat in his car? Does he play baseball?   I doubt it. 
This judge has set precedent with this case.
It only adds to the confusion of canabis coming to Canada and it is not o.k..
​Why is Justin watching this and allowing it to happen?  That bothers me.
That hurts.   

Canadians  should be upset- what a message to send to others...  it's o.k if a stranger beats you with a bat - in front of your family - because you are not white and do not speak a language they like- BUT as long as they smoked a joint- they'll get away with it.

What a joke- no one is laughing. 
If some want to blame the cannabis - so be it.. it will be their mistake.
Nasty people do nasty things -  you can  blame drugs for his obvious  hate crime..  or you can see it for what it is..  an excuse   &  fear mongering as we head into legalization.

More on cannabis next..  
I'm going to bombard the world with POSITIVE, lovely  cannabis ART!
 

Thank Goodness for Be HERE Now - In still reading, reflecting and keeping my creative distance. Chop wood & fetch water.. everyone has chores to do - my chopping wood is painting! ;D  My favourite page of my calendar is the cover! I have 12 months, one back page with all the different mushroom information and one cover page which will look lovely on it's own.  
I'm big on recycling - when I designed this I kept in mind  the dates could be removed after expired and the images would make a really cute framed set. I'll show you when I have mine up!  

For the first calendar I tried to find what I thought are some of the strangest mushrooms and colorful - they come in pink, purple & green- no wonder they all  are in Alices Wonderland. Each original is 9x5 (same size as printed version) and each takes me at least a day from research to finish. With every painting I become more educated.. on mushrooms anyhow.

I've mentioned I am using psilocybin for my brain pain...   to be honest - I don't think I'm taking it as much as I should.  I've come to the conclusion - painting is mediation.. as long as I can accomplish it - I'm fairly good- it's amazing what you learn to live through & with - its more important to medicate and then just go rest some days.
 
Yesterday was a 'right off'... as you might have imagined, frustrated with the argument from the night before, not much got done besides napping and a few sketches, a day of being grumpy and crying.  Yep I did.  Today is a new day and I'm expecting company - an artist friend - already excited - ready to paint I'm anxious for her creative arrival. Yesterday is done.

Do you know what I did not do yesterday to get me through...  I did not take an antidepressant. Cannabis is an antidepressant, so I guess I sort of did- it helped me think things out or rather 'forget about it.  We all have bad days- days we feel overwhelmed, frustrated, tearful, hopeless even BUT not everyone needs to take pills to help them past this- Its just life!  I feel better for having a terrible day - thought it out- cried it out - and LET that SHIT go.   Done.  

Norm is feeling  humbled I can tell by how he is behaving NOW - he did it to himself, he knows when he is being an asshole...  why do we behave as we do?  We just do.  As I sit here my twitch is so strong this morning I'm having difficulty  not pulling to the side.. and I will medicate for pain (not done yet - silly me)  It's going to be a difficult day - physically, mentally  I'm already happy so 1/2 the battle is won.  

This is what mushrooms do for me:
I understand, they help me understand - it's just a light bulb- it has nothing to do with the lightbulb.. Norm has his own issues to deal with - make it clear he can't use to me "sort' them out but understand he's trying to sort it out... when he is behaving like he does - walk away- I have other things more enjoyable to think about, if someone wants to be miserable- they can do it alone- they probably need some alone time.  Until we can go our separate ways - it' would be nice if we did not destroy the "friendship" we have remaining over f*cking lightbulbs.  ;)  

Bong hit time! - OH my Gosh.. have you seen what Jerry Kelly is Up to?  
I was also mindful & grateful that Norm does not do what many spouses do and turn to the bottle after I tell him to 'Go F*ck himself... which only ends up uglier.  
I would not live with an alcoholic at all - he is very aware of that fact.  

Storm and I were talking about the Hockey team and how incredibly heartwarming they have received I believe over $4 million in donations- maybe $6  I can't recall- and it will be needed to pay for all the funerals, to help all the families, the boys still alive will need  help - it makes me proud as a Canadian to see how we all come together for each other.  Hockey sticks out not the porch.
​We also discussed the other bus crash with all the children - 23 I think- who died only days later in a bus crash in India.  Do you think they will have $6 million raised?
$4 million raised to help them with the funerals - the pain.  
Do you think they might get 2 million? How about 1?   ;(    
What is different? 
Boys on a bus going to a hockey game - kids on a bus going to school.
We all know the answer to this question I believe.
I said to Storm...  Life is life, it's where we are born.. life is life.  
​Now we know, now we get to see life all over the world, learn about life all over the world. See how we respond to life around the world.

May they ALL rest in peace and the families have their suffering eased eventually and hopefully healed.  

​Time for me to get creative & enjoy & embrace the day!!!

Steven Spielberg.. how disappointing & judgmental.
I would never have guesses such a creative genius would be so closed minded. 
Thank you Seth for sharing your honesty and I will be happy to support  you!  
I do like him very much - I feel he has a HUGE heart -and is a really nice guy -
Canadian too. 

About movies.. occasionally I'll see a movie - just to watch a movie-  you know as well as I do- you can't always tell what the movie will be like-  we don't even agree with netflix "ratings" as some movies with poor ratings we really enjoy  - 'Downsizing' would be the most recent example and of course there is the opposite end of the scale -  we watched the worst movie.  It just made me feel -  I WASTED over an hour of my life and infuriated me.   The SHIT they do nowadays to amuse/entertain is  unbelievably ignorant and seriously MIND wasting/rotting.
This movie:  Game Over man.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3317234/   First of all there is the biggest 'Jack Black WANNABE'  I've eve seen..  it's so obvious it's kinda sad -  they show his penis (seen one seen em all) and then again and again - yep, there's mind stimulating content- Phhhhbt - oh my gosh- I should have left but I was tired so I just sat there- BIG mistake- they proceed to put a small chihuahua in a fish tank - we watch as it swims tirelessly..  they then explode the do in the fish tank.  ??   Really?  I left.
Clearly the person who wrote directed- is at a loss for anything truly creative when they resort to such petty entertaining ' tactics. 
Seriously? WHY DO WE PERMIT GARBAGE like this to grace our minds?  Enter our homes?  Enter our sacred space called our minds.

What good could possibly come from watching that MOVIE? NONE   It disgusted, angered -  it did help in the one way: I WILL never watch a movie like this again- it's a complete waste of life and I will NEVER watch anything with that actor in particular again.  Will it hurt his career?  If making that movie didn't already - I doubt me not watching will  have any effects (lol) but if sure HELPS my mind & heart not to willingly subject myself to crap.   

Watch Jumanji  - It was enjoyable, funny entertaining and Jack Black is in it  and he plays his part very well- had us all giggling.  We felt GOOD after watching this movie.  Where are you spending your money? Time?  Had we paid for the crappy movie - I would have actually e mailed iTunes and asked to be credited for watching the crappiest movie ever.  Where do you spend your entertainment dollars? Who do you support? 
I stand & smoke  with Seth.   Who needs Spielberg- it's just a movie.

Better yet read a book!
My son gave me this: BE HERE NOW.
Its one of the best books I've read to date.  
Creative, curious, factual, entertaining & enlightening.

Once there was a Tinky Winky
Who had a little too much to Drinky 
& this effected how he Thinky.

Tinky Winky + thinky + Drinky =
Sinky.   (Into depression)

I doubt very much Tinky Winky would be dead
.. had he switched to JUST cannabis instead.

R.I.P Tinky Winky.  2018

Have I lied?  
I read this this morning and shook my head... not hit by a bus, not a heart attack.. he froze to death from being passed out DRUNK in a ditch. Is this the middle ages? How does this happen?   Alcohol IS a PROBLEM.  Alcohol kills and YET  our own canadian government is TREATING us & cannabis as IF we are still criminals-  Cannabis the the safer option.  Not allowing advertising- what about ALCOHOL Justin??? Alcohol, proven to have caused deaths many times over in many ways..  can advertise - is thought to be NORMAL - a way to make every celebration complete-  well here are the facts in YOUR face. 
It is an opportunity to teach all children the TRUTH:
​Tinky Winky had too much to drink and died.  
How f*cking sad.  Check out this list we can add Tinky to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deaths_through_alcohol

I thought to myself this might make some people angry.. good. Are you angry with me?
How about you get angry with a government who continues to mislead it's people by promoting, and allowing the abuses of alcohol to continue at a profit - DO you know how much he LCBO in canada makes- IT is the biggest Monolopy in the world OUR booze sales earn our government billions FACT.  $22.1 billion last year alone.  Is there any wonder we see hyprocy when it comes o alcohol & cannabis- DO NOT stand for it.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/statscan-alcohol-sales-1.4095446

​I REFUSE to let anyone label me a criminal or "stoner" for my choosing cannabis - educate yourself on the facts & then lets continue the conversation - as legalization gets here- regarding advertising- theres going to be challenges  and cannabis will win. 
The Sun. The moon & the Truth - can not be hidden long.

Cananbis is much safer than Alcohol.
World wide Deaths from Cannabis alone:   0
World wide Deaths from Alcohol alone :  Too many to ever keep track of  & counting.

I do feel truly sad for the gentleman who played Tinky Winky , Simon Shelton.
What a sad, lonely way to go.  
Free at last.

I learned someone I knew (not very well)  died in an accident yesterday.
What I did know - he was a nice guy, he always had a smile, was laid back...  & I think he was a great dad. Now he is dead, I'm not sure what happened other than I heard it was an accident in Mexico... all I can think about is his wife & kids.  Im sure it's all anyone is thinking about.

Why does a good dad/man have to die- why not some piece of shit who is hurting people?
Why not some liar who abuses, beats, cheats - why not some scum dead instead of a good dad?  A good husband?
What does anything matter compared to this?
Now these kids have no dad and his wife - I can't imagine - without him it will be difficult  & I believe they loved each other, one of those couples who appear to 'fit' and would last a lifetime.            Whats a life time?

We met through the cannabis industry - years ago.. when I think of the stress caused it caused him, we spoke about it in detail once, caused us..  for what?  LIES.
This cannabis prohibition bullshit - Our Government making a big deal out of nothing... constant FEAR mongering,  when everyone realizes how less harmful it is compared to Alcohol and other  legal drugs - I hope heads will finally roll, starting with Kathleen Wynne  who is on her way OUT anyway!  What will happen to her?  Nothing.  
Lying politicians.. they move on, retire - rich and greedy... with her grandkids who will probably grow up and smoke cannabis and realize what a lying  greedy * their grandma was to ALL Canadians.  I sometimes think Justins kids will wonder too.  
Am I upset?  YES!!   I'm TIRED of this shit!

I've watched, listen and over the past years especially - it's all about GREED,  I look forward to Doug Ford and a REALISTIC, honest approach to cannabis.   I look forward to seeing  individual, small owned cannabis dispensaries as well as the bigger producers - I look forward to Canadians having a CHOICE.  
lol - I even look forward to seeing the Emery's - able to open shop!  As it should be.

Those who provide  quality goods and service will succeed.  It's that simple
 Anything but the FUCKING lies... enough is enough.

I woke today  bummed.. thinking about Shane King,  stayed in bed  feeling sorry for myself  - FUCK no,  Shane won't be able to get up today and hang out with his family.  :(  
Up, checked out IG and someone sent me a message  wanting to send me a pipe, a gift.  
A pipe they made.  Today is a gift. 
It warmed my heart this chilly morning...   talk about timing. 

Today is a gift.    

I spend today painting,  something now that I can in-turn present as a 'gift' to others.

Just playing with paint.     :)   & scissors.
Day dreaming about Elephants... wondering if I'll ever see one in the wild, probably not.
Especially not, not feeling confident for Elephants in the future  or any BIG beautiful Beasts with humans like this in charge:

I do not understand why the large majority of humans who do NOT agree with 'thrill killing'
cannot stop the few who do.  I understand less how the majority of humans can't seem to change the rules - which are harming innocent others.  Gun violence, drug wars, violence against each other & child abuse... animal abuse.

Back to day dreaming & painting.

Some think and are claiming 'Guns are a God given right.
When was it said: Here take these and kill each other.
Have you read the bible?
It amazes me -  people shouting the loudest about 'God given rights to own guns-  christians, catholic - church attending, hard working -praise Jesus!  Good people.
"It's My God given Right!"     How about the 10 commandments?
How about:          
 YOU SHALL NOT MURDER.  
 - it is not imbedded in the constitutional rights to own assault style weapons.
  A shot gun to protect yourself IF someone tried to enter your home with intent to hurt you (your choice) as well as a hunting rifle- for the days when people needed to actually hunt for food (no longer relevant for most of the population)  are the only guns mentioned. 
I don't think that would have been the case - if the founding fathers realized the extent of mental health issues, global instability, American internal conflict  and students shooting up other students- or perhaps the laws would be much different.

I do understand why some are so fearful- on Pin I've noticed an increase in posts suggesting..      "you don't need guns" the police said...
"Get on the train" the police said.
with an image of  people getting on trains leading to concentration camps. Yes, I do understand that fear- especially with a madman running the show and deciding who should stay and who should go.  I get it, but it's only getting worse.

About JustinTrudeau & India - after seeing the continued headlines about the Trudeau family and their 'over the top outfits' & family vacation in India - ALL the NEWS this week- it made me think:   GOOD, this means there must be No mass shootings, No blown up buildings, No more gay men found murdered, no more ingenious girls missing,  No more kids being abused and starved, beaten, sexually abused...  

Go ahead- if that's all you got- compared to a president who only days ago talked about his usual hate encouraging, wall building, give teachers guns mentality - a war hungry, sexist pig who NOW expects teachers who  do not get paid or appreciated enough as it is to  make themselves human shields? WTF? How much does America spend on the military?
With such ernest he claims: We really do have to be better with the  background checks.
He talks about the man who was trained all his life but did a poor job- yet the thinks teachers and coaches NOT trained all their life to protect-  will have an easier time, if not they will be 'cowards'.   & the crowds cheer...   yikes.  

Yep, that Trudeau! Look at the example he is setting - encouraging peace!
How dare Justin & his lovely family promote peace...  What will India think of Canadians?
The nerve - showing how important family is, accepting other cultures and welcoming their traditions - enjoying  the moment!   Shame on them...
Shame on us for being apart of the pettiness called 'politics'.


Phhhhbt..  I know without a doubt who I would want representing my country
no matter what he wears. Trump is always in a suit- proving clothes don't make the man. 
I noticed a few photos, all lovely have a look and see what the media chooses to focus on.


It's eye opening for sure.
I am thankful to Justin Trudea & his Family for  how they are representing Canada.
About the cannabis- its coming!  Thanks for that too.

It's 11 out and I have a new marino wool top all the way from Norway! 
Lets Go out &  explore Poppy, Scruffy & Daisy!  

My son asked me if I wanted to see a movie- A mushroom Movie - at that!  Last night we went to the MST of Toronto to see a movie- It was an enjoyable evening - and I'm determined to attend more - I was still not in the 'socializing mood' with the tail end of this cold lingering but I'm so glad we went. What a fantastic group of people- I giggled last night as I drifted off..  my white hair attraction- last night there were several handsome white haired gentlemen woohoo - who knew lol & ARTISTS too.  Friends that I usually only 'see' on IG there - Justin, Antonio - talk about revitalizing!
I'm determined to get to know a few better..  I'm going to find some new 'artsy friends' to hang out with. Like minded, stimulating art conversations  with some baked goods thrown in for fun. 

The documentary was about exotic mushrooms- In search of the Holy Veil' -just watching it  has me on google looking for some new specimen to paint today, I also made up my mind last night  to attend this years Cain Foray in September. It's going to be a wonderful weekend! I know it NOW.

I struggle 'socially' & my human interaction is limited- this is easy to encourage when I go out and have unpleasant encounters with strangers which is what happens it seems on almost every adventure. My last visit to CrabTree & Evelyn at the Upper Canada mall has me never wanting to shop again, bullied by a store employee a new shopping experience - are there new selling strategies for struggling shops? Let me berate  you into buying something and if you decline (nicely) I'll hound you more? No thanks - I will never enter the store again. It's that simple.  Stuff. 

Surround yourself with freaky mushrooms - stimulating conversation, creative people and you won't care about others or STUFF - it only takes a few nice people to help you forget about all the others out there.  I don't know what I enjoy more, going places with Storm or our actual car rides - it's where we seem to have some great conversations,  yesterday about the 'remarks made by the experts', Storm tells me  York Region police hit a nerve with a few people and their 'Cannabis Education Bullshit', enough where it was admitted they should NOT have made such remarks because they are NOT experts... more tomorrow.  LIES 
Blatant LIES by the police is how they CHOOSE to educated OUR  FUTURE.
Professional?? Adults.  They should be ashamed of themselves as should the Professional NURSE who also lied . Phhhpt.  So much for credibility.

Storm introduced me to a friend  a Gouache teacher. Hello!? A fellow gouache lover?  -  lol- I was nervous.  An informative,  wonderful evening it was as usual - I'm going to hang out more with my mushroom friends.

I see the MST already has it's first foray date: Sun. March 18, '18
​www.myctor.org/forays/foray-info-locations
Foray/walk will be led by Lawrence Millman with an emphasis on discovering cold weather specimens and identifying available polypores. Outdoors event, dress accordingly.
If you have not been  set the date! I can't wait! I've designed a mini painting set up for travel and have a new 'designated mushroom' painting black moleskine  just waiting.

Currently on the desk is a  sloth smiling at me! How can you not feel good when you stare into the eyes of a smiling sloth?? Sitting on a giant  Olmec head-  Did you read about the giant Sloth bones discovered? Imagine that...  A sloth larger than a human! 
More on cannabis of course and a NEW downloadable craft - what will you create today?
