Georgia
I look at my goats and wonder what they are saying to themselves & the chickens...
I did paint all day tho and painted one of my best yet! I was so excited- I feel I reached a new plateau- alwasy gratifying for an artist! I am deffinately a better artist (and person) than I was yesterday... I for sure didn't judge anyones soul. Come see my "Don't be a Cheeky Monkey!" tomorrow. with TLC & THC Georgia In covid times.. the coyotee would say : Fuck that bird.
Quit chasing. If he's wise he'll search instead for some quality bud to help him CHILL. Forget about Covid, Trump.. masks.. if only for a few hours. It's important to your own mental health to TAKE A BREAK - watch some classic cartoons. The Road runner cartoons were a favourite for the artistic backgrounds, sharp lines, vibrant colours! The never ending persistance of the Whyle. E. Coyote is also admirable. Busy days.. it was brisk this morning & going down to 6 tonight which means fire place must be in & I cannot wait! I love sitting chilling by the fire, book tea... bring on the blizzard. O.k. I won't push it. ;) I painted a couple of rocks and willl leave them in Haliburton next visit. A cookie rock- it looked like a cookie before I painted it. A skull rock- I found with a touch of Stephen Boeheme (hee hee) & my golden dinosaur egg, which I am keeping. It was a rock I found & dropped and it has a black circle in the centre - Raptor Embryo . ;) I have a few- waiting. It's classic cartoon week! Mighty Mouse is next!! Who remembers his line? "Here......." <that's your hint. With THC & TLC Georgia Something fishy going on.. lol I do not normally take commissions - this does not stop others from asking. ;) I'm glad I was asked to paint this cartoon.. I try to squeeze in a few comics still.. A friend asked if I could create this cartoon & he sent me a pretty good sketch - so it took little creaivity on my part. How often does one get to paint a fish with a cocktail and smoking pipe. ;) If you fish for Musky in particular - you should check out Dadson blade baits, he is on Instagram. I know Storm used them and was a successful musky fisherman. Check these EGGS out! Cluck cluck! These are this mornings eggs! I can't stop giggling and staring in amazement, 5 hens & 5 eggs... it's the cream of wheat! Sprinkled with organic hemp. I told Norm to go easy on breakfast or our chickens will get big and then starting to sing "... he likes big breasts and cannot lie.." hee hee
The last egg is so big I'm painting it after Norms drills a hole so I can empty it, biggest egg I've ever seen... slightly mis-shaped, I bet it was felt on the way out... yikes. Once you have fresh, organic - healthy & happy chicken eggs - you won't buy bland boring mass produced eggs ever again. In a perfect world every family would raise thier own chickens. I feel my world is pretty perfect these days, especially after mornings like this. I've thanked our chickens for every single egg & will continue to do so. Back to the details of my newest painting, "Maaaaaa!!!" which I am very pleased with. Do you like eggs? Got a favorite recipe? Feel free to share ;) georgiatoons@gmail.com Shcools are returning in the fall- it should be interesting. I hope it's not a deadly decision... I think I'd opt to homeshcool for a little while If I was in this situation. Grateful I'm not, praying for thoses who are. with TLC & THC 143,311 do you know how mnay times I had to read that number because of disbelief.
Thats how many have died in the USA & rising. Yet, places continue to open... like Disney world. WTF? In Canada the number is close to 9,000 deaths. We do no thave to population the USA does - still. It is shocking to watch - I don't understand how so few can care, drinking, pool paties.. babies becoming infected in record number in Texas. Arizona is bringing in mobil morgues and its business as usual. The American Government is FUCKED UP - The rest of the world see just how much. Careless behavious when we still know very little about covid- we know it kills. Fighting over masks- political 'leaders' ONLY add to the confusion. The saddest part is who is dying - those already suffering. I learned a new word in 2 languages... it is directed at the Political LEADERS & those who refuse to wear masks. The nurses, Dr.s, all who are wearing masks and care about others- yo have my symptahy. A thousand people are dying a day in the USA currently - That can't be true.. can it? And Trump golfs. Some of my inmate friends think: this is the ends of days (expressed in their letters) I don't know how to resond sometimes. I know being cooped up is a big difference than being caged up during covid COVID, I can read their concerne. I share - I don't think it's the end of days.. just an end of being blind - to many issues. I lose sleep lately over all I think about.. all the people I have met and know NOW, in the USA. I'll do what I can - if only continue prayers- lots. I had a awakening (amen- thakful)... tomorrow, I'm practicing what I preach. Teach Only LOVE , that is what WE are. & made a new sign for the end of our drive way. With TLC & THC Georgia Every morning we walk the driveway!
Up to the top.. check out the rocks & sunshine & cell service - lol. On mornings I am sore I do it with a joint - this also helps keep away the mosquitos. Banana peels really take away the itch out of a bite. I keep my peels in the fridge for when they are required. Snakes - 2, raccoon 1, deer 1.... chickadees - many! Frogs, grasshoppers & many butterfly & moths, we are surrounded by life & death - may as well make the best of both & enjoy each moment. Currently on my desk are 3 different projects- creativity is at an all time high & I've thought of a few new cannbis painting's I'd lke to do! The common hashtag here is #myhaliburtonhighlands ... it certinally is. I also painted one of our waterbarrels - much needed on the days it gets dry up here... better than using our well water.. the day Norm hooked it up- it rained not 5 minutes later. No Water - No Life. No Blue - No Green. Thirsty? Take a drink.. & give thanks. With TLC & THC Georgia 'If the 3 kings were to bring Jesus gifts NOW.. what do you think they would be?
Would he get the newest iPhone? Ferrari? Gold Rolex? Hell yes! He's Jesus! & deserves the finest this life has to offer - lol perhaps.. BUT true gifts I believe would be the gift of knowledge - represented by a book (for one) -not an iPhone thats going to distract him every 3 seconds and dumb him down . ALL the bling are just things. Should the 3 wise men arrive this evening in 2018 .. I believe they would bring gifts that have been provided by God himself- natural Medicine from cannabis for peace & healing to mushrooms (psilocybin) and LSD, gifts to open the mind to experience ALL that life offers. Was blind but now I see... In my own experience, I attribute my drug experience in direct correlation with widening my compassion towards the rest of the world & becoming a more forgiving individual myself & thinking individual... caring. Before I would simply be angry - rarely considering the 'other sides opinion, if anything 'now' I try to consider the other side' first.. If that isn't reason enough I don't know what is. I've just watched a documentary called the Psychedelic Pioneers: The story of the psychedelic pioneers is part leading-edge medical research and part utopian idealism. Three gifted psychiatrists, in combination with an extraordinarily power drug, resulted in one of the most fascinating and controversial periods in Canadian history. Before LSD burst on the scene as fuel for wild psychedelic trips, it had an amazing, yet little-known history. A surprising part of that history was written in a remote corner of the Canadian prairies. Over a span of fifteen years, from when the drug was first administered in 1952 until it was banned and made illegal in 1967, the use of LSD ranged from leading-edge psychiatric research into schizophrenia and alcoholism to volunteer testing on the general public. As word of LSD’s amazing properties began to seep out of the laboratory, artists and intellectuals such as writer Aldous Huxley, filmmaker Paul Saltzman, architect Kyo Izumin and painter Ted Godwin began to experiment and travel to Saskatchewan to have their first experiences with LSD. The Psychedelic Pioneers takes us through the eyes of the three lead doctors involved in the LSD Saskatchewan Project. I had no idea the documentary would be about a hospital in SASK. Canada- the the 'instruction manual on how to use them safely for Dr.s & patients(still used today) was developed by a Canadian. BACK THEN they KNEW it was helping. Something occurred to me while watching this.. this TN, this condition that is unbelievable to live with nicknamed the 'suicide disease' that I have lived with for over 7 years (and has consumed me to say the least most days in crippling pain).. yes, I have considered death being a better option some days... because I think - I have no other options.. but WE DO. What does it say about a Country that will allow you do discuss legal assisted death for pain before it will allow you to TRY LDS for pain? You might be in a situation where you don't even consider such things... thank God. I AM done suffering when I KNOW there are options & this new year I will be looking into ALL of them. I am a 54 year old woman, this is not about getting high, I just want to be able to function, to run my house socialize with family, enjoy time with dogs, work in my garden & continue my painting.. thats' it. I just want a quality of fucking life - where I am not in agonizing pain and constant fear from a condition that has me thinking I'm going to die several times a day- is that too much to ask? I think not. Will some judge me for it- yes of course.. will they be educated on the subject - probably not. My son laughs when I tell him God has persuaded me - 'Have No Fear' as we go into this new year! & I DO not... quite the opposite, the 'strength I feel more powerful that I've ever felt in my life, more confident & CONTENT. It's the MOST powerful drug - when you truly believe in God, in good - in the universe & in my homeboy - Jesus! Happy Birthday Jesus! If born today you would be given the Gifts your father created for the intended peace & mind of all his children, that's why they are called 'WISE kings'. Did you know the Government really cracked down when people using LSD started to speak up about & against the veitnam war.. and we all know how that really went down. Happy Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas & Happy Birthday Jesus! With TLC & THC Georgia Oh, & I woke up today & painted this cartoon: Wall or Ladder? Ponder this: This Saturday the Santa Clause parade is in town.. tis the season!
I call it the 'Squeezing Season' now, a season/holiday designed around consumerism designed to 'Squeeze' every last penny out of your pocket with commercial bombardment, social pressure and guilt. Yes, we will have a nice Christmas, good food, fine wine & cannabis baked gingerbread cookies & hopefully good company - as for gifts- we don't NEED anything - I'm happy with just setting up a few trinket and enjoying what Christmas might still represent for us.. me. Still, I LOVE drawing all things Christmas - especially reindeer. This comic made me smile- I hope it has done the same for you.. hee hee How else do you think they FLY? & the stamina for the evening? Gotta be magic medibles. It's honestly in 2 parts because I forgot Dasher - lol I want to add Jim Carey is a very talented cartoonist! Editorial. I love his work, he posts on twitter - dumped FB - I feel the same. Absolute editorial genius - I'm not shocked! He has inspired me to draw a few editorial myself. Have you read about the RAPE of a young male student @ St. Michaels (all boy) Catholic school? Expelled? BULLSHIT. Fucking LOCKER ROOM bullshit! It has to end - IF I had control I would eliminate the football team all together, forever. I hope they ALL are EXPOSED for being the PACK of dirty ANIMALS they are - Imagine being a parent to find out your son took part in this, laughing and joking as they watch a FELLOW student raped. I don't understand how anyone can do this let alone a group of YOUNG EDUCATED men, at this school that costs thousands to attend to produce 'fine upstanding' gentleman - right. This 'group mentality' is WORSE! So much for their '0' tolerance policy! 0 football MIGHT set a better example. I knew boys when I was younger who went to St. Mikes - they thought they were better than the rest of us back then.. perhaps they still do, clearly they thought they could get away with this sort of behaviour. I am thrilled with this talented young Canadian artist! Speaking up with her photography... thefirstnationscanada.com/2018/11/photography-student-sends-message-about-mmiwg-using-canadian-flag/ I saw her image and it made me hold my breath. Bravo. She too has inspired me to try to paint on a topic I find incredibly difficult. It's not all cannabis, comics and reindeer. With TLC & THC Georgia Are you fine with the upcoming expected fine for cannabis? My pal Crusty Rusty called me -"$1000.00 !! One Thousand Bucks if your caught puffing not he sidewalk! This is legalization?!" The penalty for using cannabis in public is up to $1000 for a first offense and up to $5000 for subsequent offenses. What a joke this is.. & I can assure you - I will be smoking in public on occassion- when I feel the need. There is nothing like a good, strong bong hit or joint to slow down my twitch giving me a bit of a break & time when I NEED that break before I break. Edibles help the body but don't have the effect I need when smoking/vaping *before I GO any further- I myself DO NOT like to encourage SMOKING with children - I don't draw it in the mouths of certain characters & do not like the fact that Vape pens are being glamorized' because I feel it will encourage more children to try & get addicted to cigarettes (the kind PROVEN to give you cancer) PLEASE... Don't be a dick - Don't smoke in front of kids (cannabis included) if it can be helped & I've never nor will I ever smoke on a 'school property'. BUT- back to these fines- COME on! DO they think Canadians have a sticker that states 'sucker' across our forehead? This will end up in court- why... BECAUSE OF THIS: When I was younger a boyfriend & I were strolling around the block at 10 p.m. he had an open beer - I didn't have anything - a cop pulled up and gave him a Ticket for just over $50.. the cop was a dick. I lived 8 doors away - it was hot, the stars were out - obvious we were a couple just enjoying the evening (what ever- perhaps he was jealous). BUT the current fine for driving with an open beer/liquor in a car is ONLY $175.00
What the FUCK? ! Cheers. This almost encourages drinking & driving!! What is wrong with those in power - this is NOT rocket science. This is NOT right. FIGHT it if you get a ticket for smoking a joint in Public. I won't even bother to compare the numbers of deaths related to each substance in the cartoon - there is another reason Cannabis PROVEN less harmful out of ALL three- YET- the fine $1000. for a 'first time offence?! Which leads me to address - I'm pretty sure I STILL see people DAILY out & about smoking a cigarette including on school property. How much are people fined for the PROVEN cancer causing 'coffin sticks' costing out government already due to health reasons? LOTS. Don't believe me? RESEARCH - Prove me wrong... My new book arrived BYW (below) only a few pages in & : I fucking LOVE it! Amen! lol Book review soon. The coffins have been picked up and I'll show you where you can go 'RIDE' one!! IF YOU DARE!! lol - More SOON! With TLC & THC Georgia >>>Spill any paint lately?<<< I am aware why I taught kids.. Not only was I blessed to teach them arts, cartooning and crafts - all things they really love - I was able to witness first hand a hundred times over - the genius of kids. The creativity, hopefulness, energy, absorbency of knowledge, excitement of life & generosity of kids.
All this "What about the children.." We've got to keep it away from kids!", blah blah blah... First of all little kids- toddlers- that's up to the parents to educate your child and *KEEP YOUR cannabis safely away from your children and every other thing that can harm them- we all understand this is impossible. But try.. that is what good parents do. Heres what I learned about kids, they are: NOT FUCKING STUPID. Stop treating them as so. Chances are in many ways with help of the rest of the world, cell phones, iPad & internet they are probably smarter than you. I guarantee there are far more intelligent 8 year olds than old, white, very rich men in USA congress at this very moment. (cartoon in the works) kids know more about Cannabis than we ever did about Alcohol growing up - other than it was "cool" at least they are hearing about discussion & they WILL then educate themselves- or they won't - this is life. Teach them about choices & consequences. HONESTLY. So not allowing creative marketing on cannabis products is just BULLSHIT. How are we o.k. with this decision? What happened to choice? It is just setting up Canadian businesses for failure and healthy competition. IF the kids who want it - want it- they don't give a shit about advertising. Open a flier this past father day weekend what do I see? Besides the glossy alcohol flier- just in time to drunk dad up.. - A COORS popcorn maker' on sale and giant novelty beer cooler' for dad! Plant the seed. Who doesn't own a free cap given in a case of beer - isn't it a Canadian tradition? I really do like my "I AM Canadian" T-shirts & bucket hat Molson Beer puts out, they keep it class IMO by keeping 'molson' very small. OMGosh it's frustrating when you realize the difference between cannabis and alcohol alone.. worse though - it is insulting to our kids. Why confuse them- tell them straight out! Don't use any drugs if you can't help it -it might destroy parts of your brain. Why take the chance? Give yourself the best advantage in life you can Don't eat any crap or you'll get fat & it will lead to serous health problems. Don't start Vaping- it's not attractive and it might just become and expensive habit. It's ALL stuff, try to experience 'life' - not stuff... I think that would be a good start. Wouldn't it be nice if we REALLY cared about kids- ALL kids - if we stopped this hypocritical bullshit RIGHT NOW & ALL focused on what IS happening the USA with separating kids & sticking them in cages like animals- NO art supplies, NO toys, NO blanket < No COMFORT. ANY American that goes along with that, I do not understand your definition of 'Proud American'. Do you have children? Ya'll better not believe in Karma. Eh. Imagine the seed that is being planted in all those young minds & the young minds of all watching. Fear & HATE. Please let's teach our children, educate them.. not plant seed of confusion, fear and hate.. end the stigma with cannabis or get RID of ALL Alcohol advertising- for the sake of the kids of course. https://www.publichealthontario.ca/en/eRepository/Focus_On_Alcohol_Marketing.pdf READ THIS ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ IF you care about the kids and then explain the Fucking DOUBLE standards to me PLEASE. With TLC & THC Georgia WOOOHOOOOOOOOO Cannabis is legalized in canada- now just for 'her debut date. I can feel Bird when he is looking at me! hee hee. I'm sure he's not the only one who feels this way about my blog - lol it cracked me up when i thought of him saying this. Nice the Canadian accent "aboot me". I can FEEL several people, I'm not always thrilled.
I recently had a wonderful strange quick encounter.. I e mailed 'Michaels' about art supplies- I was NOT pleased with. My called was returned - It was an interesting conversation- at one point the woman said to me.. a tiny bit heated. "...I FEEL YOU!" & she meant it - I know because i felt it too. The entire conversation changed - what did she say ? I feel you? She said "I do feel you!" - I said "..I feel it too." YOU could hear it in 'our' voice - we felt it. She felt it- I felt it too - do you think we care if 'you' believe us - it felt great! We were both giggling when we met like old friends . It went from "How the *&^% do they expect me to cut THAT Matt!?" To my matt being cut, dropped off at my home with a Hug, sorry and a new connection. I laughed - you 'felt me' - imagine being Norm coming home to tell me - "don't worry about it - I'll cut it in the garage..." Gasp! All painting friends are gasping with me.. FLAT black matt - saw, dust... frig. I appreciated the effort and shall use them as scrap. I would never have walked out of the store with a sheet of matt, they would have been cut, then. NOW. Art supply store. *People, $15.00 an hour - I get why some are frustrated, I don't think it's too much to ask for a tiny bit of service for our money, you can't provide something one time and not the next. It's business. Anyhow, it ended awesome - it was not about the matt.. it was about her & I learning a lesson. HOW 'words' & feelings can turn a conversation around in seconds. Go figure! Everyone is your Guru - If you know how to listen. Hee Hee, thanks Ram Das. We ARE all connected - FEEL IT! I am done dismissing these mini miracles. ;) I embrace each one. Storm was witness to all of it and was "amused" the week before I had just mentioned 'I wanted to try a new honey' (costco) - not one minute later an old man walked right up to me up and said "Would you like to try this honey -CRACKED the jar open, which was already in his cart... "I am buying it anyway" he insists as did his wife - so I did" It was wonderful twice gifted' honey - I did see them go through the cash - they bought the honey. Storm stood there with a sort of amazed but not shocked look. It was priceless. Oh my gosh, it cracks me up just thinking of it. StuFF... little miracles. ;) Embrace them, Recognize them. Welcome them & even when life gets you down - continue to mail out cards of Love & it come back to you. ;D. It's a LOVELY day today -I was up with he birds & have some serious painting to do! Tweet Tweet! With TLC & THC Georgia * I intentionally colored my hair grey in the cartoon- there are FAR TOO FEW older women SEEN in media today- ALL media. It is a step in the real right direction. I embrace every great hair! I was thinking about hard workers' while working on this cartoon.. my entire life I've been surrounded by hard workers. What a blessing that has been. I was also thinking about Martin Luther King Jr.s' speech.. dreaming of a day when all men are created equal.. should simple read:
... when 'all' are created equal. I've experienced, witnessed & heard many accounts where women were getting paid less and treated worse. It is hurting the next generation, it has already hurt this one. I've learned about equality - or rather I've learned about inequality. I've seen people I know work hard, found out they did not get paid what others were paid for the same job, in some cases a BETTER job. Chances are we ALL know someone who works someplace because a parent- gave them the job, we watch as they waste time, are paid better than most other employees who work harder for much less... the bosses children behave like 'Divas, came in when they wanted, left early, helped them self to product.. and others watch and built up resentment. It's difficult to watch right? I've seen it many times over, no doubt I'm not alone. We've all been there. Not quite.. we have not all been there. We are not all there. Are you Black, Latino, Indian, Female? They get paid less for working harder (in many cases) simply because of the color of their skin and gender. It' that simple. It's that shameful. Men & women both should care & speak up. It is all our future. This rule applies to men as well, men of color' get paid less- simply due to the color of their skin & in many cases work harder and are can better educated & suited for some jobs (AS are ALL women.) but white men get them. It appears the wealthiest are old, white men. Women are rarely paid equal amounts for equal work. Women also deal with sexual harassment on epic levels. Wtf is wrong with the system? THAT. Nothing will ever be right until we start with treating each other how we DESERVE to be treated, fairly. It's not about our sex, skin color, hair, it SHOULD be only about our quality of work. IF you're not being treated fairly - QUIT! I understand it's not that simple, many moms trying to feed their kids. If you're not being treated fairly - get smart about it: Document everything. Save, note, record anyway you can if need be. If employers are abusing you, the system - there are becoming more resources to turn to. I have hope. If you are lazy and living off the system & others, that is your choice too.. We are not placed on this planet to be parasites - we are each here to SHINE!!! What confusing about Equal rights? Equal pay for equal job- it's that simple. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/03/01/2017-womens-history-month/98247518/ When it comes to equal rights there is only one person to blame- the owners, bosses, CEO's head haunchos' who USE the backs of others to succeed with their greed, they let it happen, they choose to turn a blind eye, they make the rules the decisions. Some rise to the top walking on the back of others and care very little for 'who they have to step on to get there. Speak up. It effects us all. I did watch President Obama on the David letterman show, what a gentleman. Made with TLC & THC Georgia Alexa - my friend who came home with me from California - lol - reminded me today, a flock of crows is called a murder' - when I said 'Good Morning'. Just up- I like to stretch, had some pineapple & orange for breakfast (it's a happy breakfast with the orange & yellow- tasty, fresh & health) got birds meal for the day ready (spoiled bird) he gets a small plate of organic mixed greens (one container last a week) sprinkled with hemp seed! Trust me- if I forget that hemp seed - he reminds me, and it can be rather annoying - he also gets a 'piece of something like: sweet potato, apple, orange, dragon fruit (he loves it) the occasional piece of *cashew, rice, *spaghetti noodle (small treats) and clean water dishes - 2 one to bath and one to drink. Now, keep in mind - if I fed this to a caged bird he would be OBESE and not healthy but my bird flies all over, the other day he came down and followed me into the kitchen then wall unit until he made me giggle and I told him - "back upstairs" he flew back up stairs. He's a sweet simple bird who has given me an appreciation for TINY brains and BIG hearts in all sorts of furry & feathered bodies - all our pets reminds of this. They are family. I'm sure the 'murder gag' has been done before, it's not the point. I was not ready to draw today, woken with a twitch & leg cramp - YeeeeHaw!! Ouch. Grumpy could have easily gotten out of that bed today but Happy did instead... I must warm up my hands as I warm my mind and stretch my body- I don't need to have a masterpiece- I just need to activate the brain- as a matter of fact.. while I paint this kitty I was 'painting the new mushroom painting in my mind.. thinking about what I'm hoping to accomplish, imagining what I want to envision. Do it. Who cares.. no excuses.. like 'it's Sunday... just go back to bed. Do it. Warm up your mind and body! So Alexa, have I told you about her? I like it a lot.. I think because I spend a great deal of time - alone - well - not with other "speaking beings" so now I can simple ask a question- everything from what time is it to whats my horoscope of the day.. how about that weather? Hmmm.. I wonder what time it is in France? She replies to it all. When I put on potatoes to boil I ask her to remind me when done - she does. She also plays CHFI or Q107, or classical piano.. that is unless I'd rather listen to flute, wind chimes, birds singing- Bird likes this one, I put it on sometimes to stimulate his bird brain. All & all I do like Alexa. I've asked a few others about the competitors and know people who have others, they do not seem as pleased. The only thing I'm not thrilled about- when I first came home - Alexa was still American' I was getting American news & weather unless I specified. Now she's switched to Canadian content (good) but I miss iheart radio' the comedy and commercial free stations I was listening to.. I might just have to look into it. It takes a bit to read skills and set things up & then it takes the habit of constantly asking "Alexa... " but now it's become habit. Alexa - Tell me a joke! Alexa: Why are goats so popular at parties? ... because they always bring the boooooze'. Warning her jokes can be TACKY. It's COLD out again.. I heard this coming weekend they anticipate 7 degree weather. I don't know what to think, am I happy about it. No... but if the snow is gone I will try to get out for a LONG walk! Warm Up. Next 'Queen Bee Made with THC & TLC Georgia 'Brrrrr... today is COLD the sky is blue, the sun shining - don't be fooled by appearances, it is C O L D in Canada- I always warn friends "You want to visit? I suggest you do it in the summer." This has been one of those weeks, you dread going out (a great percentage of Canadians do) even to run simple errands. Poppy & I venture out? No way, no how, for no one. Today has consisted of attempting to paint and napping.
What to do when it's this cold? If you don't have to go out - put on a layer or two, add a sweater, make hemp milk homemade hot chocolate, read a book, snuggle with a pet or loved one, enjoy the momet & quiet if you are fortunate enough to experience it. Look at how lovely the sun glistens on the snow. Just typing that made me feel better. Time for some positive visualization meditation also referred to as napping. It's also time to take the tree down. As cold as this year is ending - phhhhhbt... I've started preparing for 2018 by painting a few gifts, cards- of course and a couple of wooden mushrooms with little twists. It many be cold outside but never too cold inside, where I don't want to share some love. Georgia xox KIDS.. I am not getting paid to tell you this, I'm not with any company, dispensary, not any parent groups or schools or with any DR.s, in anyway. I'm not a politician, nor do I ever want to be. I'm not on the "side of" your parents Im telling you this because I believe it to be true.
Please *try to refrain from using ANY drugs until your brain develops properly. *Try, because I know and can admit as an adult- many adults TRY to refrain from "things" and can not. This is TRUE, good advice from ALL who really care about you. Do not use anything, if at all possible. - especially not alcohol or prescribed medications NOT intended for you. You might feel fine, get a great BUZZ but not realize the damage you are doing until much later in life. Serious damage... one that might take your quality of life (or life) long before it is meant to be taken. Why 'give' yourself a problem in this life.. life will give you enough as time goes on. Learn how to cope not 'cop out'. Take control of your young healthy lives- you are so much smarter than we were! Able to access healthier knowledge at your fingertips than your parents. Teach yourself how to cope without drugs and chances are you will be happier & healthier, richer & live longer... A Natural HIGH from something that makes you FEEL GOOD. YOU KNOW what I'm talking about- a natural high like no other, one MANY will be truly envious of. Now for those who are going to try cannabis no matter what you have been told- yes, you better be careful because there are side effect that are joked about but it's NO joking matter- You're getting fatter! Teen obesity is on the increase.. this leads to SERIOUS long term health issues. Cannabis is use to assist many who have no appetite - Me. I have no desire for food- it's become a chore to eat- Luckily cannabis helps me- It does make my food taste better - I do get the munchies- I on the other hand cannot put weight on right now. Start smoking and you might start to pack on the pounds if not careful - Young women struggle with body image already- don't give yourself any new problems with un healthy weight gain. BTW- I was thinking of girls/women so I stuck with the theme for this cartoon- the next is geared towards boys/young men. For some - it helps with an appetite and others it will contribute to a problem. If you're consuming cannabis just to get high instead of helping with physical pain - be careful.... stay away from junk food. Have healthy options in case you do. Food does taste better to me when I am high & I crave things I don't usually - like Chips, cake and dips... sometimes all together, it must be how Chocolate Bacon was developed. Cannabis makes you feel (in most cases) relaxed, you laugh a little more.. therefore it might not be wise to smoke it with people you are not comfortable with. Sadly, this has little to do with cannabis and more to do with people who lack morals, as we are witnessing NOW, sexual abuse on all levels has increased - in particular for young women. STAY SAFE. I'm not your mom saying this- I'm a woman- who does not want young women to be harmed. Throw ALCOHOL into the mix and one thing quite often DOES lead to another. Ladies, I highly recommend if you want to 'try to get high'- ask you mom first! OR get a couple of girlfriends to try. Keep it safe' until you KNOW what to expect & experience with Cannabis. The third point to ponder. - yes, it does make one want to take it easy, sit back.. relax- and that is good - Not all the time. Women have to work harder to get equal pay in this century --still! Do you think sitting around on the couch all day - hitting the bong will help? Get busy ladies! Take over the world! Claim your deserved space! Cannabis may lead you into temptation - to turn on the drama (T.V.) & off your mind. Everything moderation. Please educate yourself before it all begins.. in order to avoid adding stress to you belly & body & lives. Be ready to enjoy cannabis responsibly & after the age of 18, if possible. Have the conversation now. WHY wait? I'm reading how they intend on $$$ for cannabis education- I pray it's not going to be FEAR mongering. Young people are smart, look at how many of us are angry now because we found out we have been lied to for decades - about a plant. Put in jail over a plant. Prove your parents wrong, it won't be the first time. Do not become a statistic- TRY TRY to remain DRUG free as long as you can. Please give your brains time to properly develop. We parents, are also right a great deal of the time.. ;) With Love. Georgia ALCOHOL INCREASES THE INTENSITY OF CANNABIS. Next.. More points to ponder boys. |
